LW: 238 (about two weeks ago)
WL: -4bs
Well I was hoping to hit 235 in the following week, so it does not suck that I hit it sooner.... pretty close to perfect on diet and did pretty good on exercise with all things considered. I did mostly core work with some extra focus on strengthening hip flexors. I managed to ride a bike 3 times.. that seems to be an issue but I am not stopping, the issue meaning it hurts my wrists (Lupus arthritis) so bad that it feels like somebody hit them with a baseball bat. Yesterdays 5.2 mile bike ride required 8 very strong Narcotics following through out the day and into the night (roughly 3:00 Am before I was able to get comfortable enough to sleep, and at one point my ankles hurt enough that I felt like I had just run a 100K.. but like I said I am not giving in.. I will continue to at least bike and use it as a mode of transportation. I biked to the farmers market once, that was a 13.8 mile round trip. Tomorrow I plan on biking to the Chiropractor and back that will be roughly 20 miles (will bring a pack to get some groceries, also plan on riding to get my hair cut as well.. plus to the co-op to get groceries so that will end up being probably close to 16-18 mile round trip... I will try and manage one more 5-7 mile ride as well plus 4 days of core... I am looking forward to 231 now and being down 40lbs... and 40 more to go after that. :) I have this refreshed sense of why I am doing this, it is no longer all about needing to be lighter for running but rather, loose the weight, strengthen my lungs, muscles and heart for me and any other benefits (like lighter runner) are going to be just icing on the cake.
Writing this on 9-3-12 which is my Birthday 40th.. so I had a bigger breakfast today but all healthy foods and planning on hiking later to burn some of it and a dinner with some wine tonight but still a healthy meal is planned.. so I guess I might be up a lb from today but it should only be inflammation not fat.
