151 pounds tossed.
Jul 08 2009 21:50

I weighed in at 250 pounds today bringing my weight loss total to 151 pounds. Or, as they say in the 300+ group, "tossed" (because I don't want it back so I didn't lose it, I threw it away). This morning's weigh in marked the end of another long plateau for me. Just like I said before, you gotta stick through it when it gets hard, and look for advice from outside your own head when everything you are doing no longer works for you.

I broke the eleven minute mile several times in the last month, with my best time being 10:30. I would like to get into the 9 minute mile range someday. I have even done a 3 mile run in under 36 minutes, so my 5k time is getting better, too. I will still work on my speed training but I have to improve my distance now. I am having a great time with the running, though. I am glad I started doing this finally!
