I knew I could do it… I know I can do it

I’ve been down lately.  Like I mentioned yesterday, this is the point where I start tailing off in my workouts.  Where I revert back to what brought me here in the first place.  I stop watching what I eat.

I know this because

  • I dread getting on that treadmill.  The should call it the dreadmill, not treadmill. 
  • My body is getting used to the workouts, not sure  if its resisting the weight loss.
  • Two hours a day, that’s a lot of time to workout.
  • Its getting darker, I want to sleep in.

Here is my response from my spirit

  • Listen to music, 3 songs and you’ve hit that first mile.  Change music style occasionally.
  • That can be a problem, add more stretching, yoga, and weight lifting, reduce the running time.
  • Two hours a day is not forever.  Just till you get to 225, by then you can simply burn an excess of 800 per day instead of 1500 which requires 2 hours a day of workout.
  • Run right before lunch.

Anyway, getting on that scale does two things, curbs my appetite and boosts my morale.  I ran a 4+ today, my time was 53:33, not too bad, and weighed in.  There was an incredible amount of sweat on my shirt.  I weighed in without it  which makes it unofficial and I FINALLY cracked 260.  I got it at 258.2.  True it is unofficial because I did not have a  shirt on.  So my spirit was low as I push and struggle throught these work outs.  But the math is solid, burn 3500 calories, lose a pound.  Morale is so good that I feel like pushing harder and cracking the 255 mark by next week which is possible at the unofficial 258.2.

But is it possible with the official weight?  I say yes, but it is an outside shot.  But very possible, because yes, I did crack 260 official.

Weight: 259.0
