Weight 224
I lost a pound today.
I got a haircut.
Actually I was up a little this morning. 224.6 lbs. I have to admit, that was a little frustrating. No one wants to go up the day after you start working out seriously. And, I also rode a stationary bike for 30 minutes yesterday (which I think may have caused a problem for me this morning with my left knee). Of course, I expected to lose at least 10 lbs.
But it’s important to remember that losing weight isn’t about dieting and exercise. (Well, yes it kind of is). No, it’s about changing your lifestyle to a healthy one. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. I’ll lose the weight. But not in one day.
I thought about that as I was doing a 100-yard sprint this morning (when my knee gave a little). I actually was one of the fastest ones out there. Maybe my kids get their speed from me after all.
Nah. But I did OK for a Clydesdale.
Paul had us doing a core exercise at the end. We were doing planks and I have to admit, the temptation to drop to my knees was there. Planks hurt my back. But I didn’t. I pushed through. How can I expect others to believe in me if I quit on myself?
I’ll ice my knee tonight and wear my brace tomorrow.
And I’ll try to lose a pound tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that…
