Goal Weight: 195
We weighed in this morning, at according to their scales, I’ve lost 10 lbs. this week, making for a total of 17 lbs. lost in two weeks. I started with their weight-ins at 241. So if my math is right, that puts me at 224 on their scale.
I can already see a difference in my face and in my body. My clothes are looser and my energy is up (don’t get me wrong, I am tired from the 14-hour days). But all and all, positive change is happening. With energy, I can make the other changes in my life that I want to make.
I also am sitting with a bag of ice on my ankle because I twisted it while running laps around the gym. I stepped on a weight that was sitting out, my ankle turned, I heard a pop and now I have it elevated with a bag on it. The good news is that I can put weight on it. The bad is that is that it hurts. I get paranoid about injury when I am making such progress. Ask me about my aborted training run for the Memphis Marathon sometime. I’ll tell you a real sob story.
Tomorrow I will run 30 minutes. My goal is to run more than that. Sunday is a day of rest (as it should be) and then I’ll run again early Monday morning.
And then Day 9 is next Tuesday.
I’m not doing anything special. Anyone can do what I’m doing. I’m just making better choices in my life so I can live to make better choices.
I am a very new reader and really enjoy taking this workout journey with you. Keep up the great work because you are inspiring many.

Ouch, sorry about the ankle. Take care of it, but will probably remain sore.
Wow, what remarkable progress, Marshall! It is personally inspiring. Where do I sign up? I was a size 4 or smaller my entire life, until a medically induced trainwreck changed everything a few years ago. I’m very grateful to have survived it; but I want to get back to really living again. It’s like I’m stuck in someone else’s body. What is your secret? Seriously!
