Back on the horse

Ok, after 2 weeks of spending time with family (”I got your favourite food in“), friends (“Another pint?”), and at SES London (”Why does the pizza have a poached egg in the middle of it?“*), it’s time to get back on this weight loss horse.

In the course of the last 2 weeks I managed to run just once.  Of course, the fact that I came down with a cold didn’t really help that, although I would say that the cold most likely helped me to consume less liquid calories than may have been the case.  Tonight that changes.  I’m back to running & using the Bowflex.  This isn’t really through choice, as I now have just slightly over a month to go before I run in a 1/2 marathon in DC.  I need to get into shape for that, especially if I’m going to hit my goal of a sub 2-hour run.

Other good exercise news is that my local (well, one county over) soccer league has now decided to add an over 35’s league.  This is most likely due to the team I was on last year, the only one that was primarily over 35, and which proceeded to lose every game (hey, at least we were consistent).  So that’ll give me some good Saturday exercise which, combined with my Sunday soccer games, should ensure that I manage to injure myself multiple times continue to lose weight over the course of the spring.

So tonight, I should get another post up with my daily stats, but if you’d like, here’s a spoiler…

Starting weight this morning - 215lbs, yep, that’s right, 215lbs.  Not far from what I expected, but thankfully still below what I started this contest on.

*yes, I did eat a pizza with a poached egg on top, and it was actually quite tasty.
