It’s been a long time….. New year… New Job… and oh yeah, new 8 pounds added to my body!!!!! I added about three pounds over the holiday season and then in January, I started a new job… and there came the extra five pounds. So now, I’m back in the saddle again. I haven’t been in this position for quite a few years. But here I am again. Time to shed these ridiculous pounds! As for the running. I’m only getting in about 3 runs a week and they are all treadmill runs – definitely not my favorite. So… here’s the plan. Very simple, but not always easy to execute. I can stick with the three runs a week until we are out of the snow season. I think, no actual I know for a fact, that it has been my eating that has gotten me into trouble. So now…. here are the rules by which I promise to live by…. and may I blow up completely if I break these rules: 1.) Three meals a day and only three meals a day. 2.) No more than a total of 12oo calories per day. 3.) In the words of a wise man, “Eat Food, Not Much, Mostly Plants. I think that should sum it up pretty well. I’m giving myself a deadline of exactly one month to shed these god-forsaken pounds. So, that means that if today is February 10th. I have until exactly March 10th (5 days before my43rd birthday) to be 8 pounds lighter. The challenge is on…. maybe I’ll even be 10 pounds lighter by then…. why not? And to keep myself honest, I think I’ll use this blog as a sort of tracker – posting my weight and any exercise done with every blog post. So here goes…. today, I weighed in at 126 pounds. No running today (major snow storm/blizzard instead), but I did 25 minutes of upper body strength training/weight lifting. My eating was horrific today, but that should be the last time that I have to confess to that mistake. As of this moment, I am back in the saddle…..
