Goal weight: 195 lbs.
Had an absolutely crappy run today. I was tired (got back late from driving back from Oxford), it was hot (I got a late start), I hurt (from my fall) — let’s just say, it wasn’t much fun this morning. I was limited on time, so I only ran 8.5 miles. I ran on the Ridgeland Trail along the Natchez Trace. I managed to get into the middle of a 5K. At one point, I had already run five miles and one of the people in the front of the 5K encouraged me, “C’mon, you can do it” — like I was in the back of the 5K. I thanked him and never let him know that I had already run two more miles than him.
I weighed in with Patrick House today. I didn’t make the goal of under 200 lbs. — I was 205. I weighed 200 on my scale, so I knew I wouldn’t make it. I’m competitive enough to want to meet the challenge. But honestly, at the end of the day, I’m not that upset. I’ll continue to lose weight as I continue to eat the right things and exercise. I’ve lost 48 pounds since my birthday last December. That’s nothing to sneeze at. But still…
I did eat Taco Bell last night on the way home from Oxford. I ordered what I used to eat for lunch nearly every day. I immediately felt like crap after I eating it and then felt sluggish this morning. I will never eat there again. Ever. After eating healthy, fast food does not cut it. It makes you feel horrible.
Marshall you did a great job. We all feel down at times, but you will feel better tomorrow and you have all the right tools. You are a success. Always believe!
I was really lucky to be there and see the weigh-in. I am really proud of you. Now it’s my turn… again. :)
