I have decided to start a new journal for this new (and hopefully final) chapter in my weight loss journey. Here is my old journal, just in case you have nothing better to do than read about my running and such.
If you don't want to read the whole enchilada, then here is the Cliffs notes version:
I am currently 39, will turn 40 in November. I had hoped to reach my goal weight of 125 by then, but that is not going to happen. I would like to reach my goal by my next vacation, another cruise at the end of June. I started my journey in 2007 at the abominable weight of 214. Currently I am at 165, which is about 8 lbs heavier than my lowest recent weight. I trained all summer for the DL half, which I PR'd btw. I am in a bit of a funk with my running currently, not feeling the love at all. I have another half coming up 2 weeks from today, I am just looking to finish at this point. I am going to spend the winter working on weight loss and cross training. I am going to try spinning and I definately need to strengthen my upper body. I am really, really hoping that a break from running will bring back my mojo and I will want to run again.
So thats it. Tomorrow morning I am starting point counting with WW again. I had great success with it in the past, I just can't lose weight when I am seriously training for a big race. I am going to walk on the TM
(which I don't mind) 3x week, run outside 3x week and take one day off. Once I get past the half, then I will start spinning and weights.
Any advice or encouragement is welcome and appreciated. Thanks for reading or posting.
