My Weight Loss

Over the past few weeks, especially the last few days, I have been paying attention to how my feet was landing.   The pain did move around which lets me to believe that I actually went through 2 or more bouts with gout.

But lately I noticed my left foot is OK coming down, but if the ground is uneven and my ankle twists with me not being prepared for it, it hurts.

Also, when I push off of my left foot, it involves using my ankle.  At the begining when my ankle is smaller than a right angle, it hurts, especially to the outside.

Unfortunately, my foot is still slightly swollen, so tonight, I will give the anti inflammatory medication another try.

Today marks the end of the 7th month that I am into this training.  What a long way.  I am pretty bummed that I will probably not make my goal of 190.  But I still can make a goal of less than 220 be the year anniversary.

Anyway,  I am taking it easy, I can walk farther and my right foot is getting stronger.  I think I will make my goal of running next week.

I pulled some decent sweat on the stationary bike today,  I burned 318 calories in 20 minutes.  I then went on the elliptical for 10 minutes and burned 89 additional calories.

It was a struggle on the elliptical but it was a good start.

Today I went snow tubing.   Was a fun and physically demanding when your going back up the hill hauling a tube.

So that will be my workout for the day.  I am did sweat a lot.

But the good news is that my foot did not hurt as bad as I thought.   I will let my foot rest one more week before working up my workout schedule.

Getting close to healing completely.

Still hurts though

I just read that Stephanie is going to run the Seattle Half Marathon with me, and even Abbie expressed interest.  I am shocked.  But I felt extremely good.

During my workout in the gym, I feel like my sweat and strength is coming back.    I had to think twice about jumping on to the treadmill again. My workout, although not as intense as in the past, is progressing.

Weight… errr… not so much.

Weight: 254.2

Well almost.  I can go up and down steps.  It hurts a little but I feel I can do it.

Maybe next week I can run lightly again.

Weight: 254.2

But for both feet, I cannot tippy toe solely (pun intended) on my left foot like I can on my right.

I did have a decent workout today, not as much sweat as before, but the most sweat since gout kicked in.  I am going to take it easy tomorrow.  I am hopeful that I will be running again in a week albiet not as for nor fast.

I am sad about my current weight but it is weird that since I started doing more meaningful workouts, my weight has gone up.  So hopeful it is muscles that are coming back.

Went on stationary bike today.  It feels better, and I am starting to sweat more.
