Bought a Scale

I bought a scale to see if it is worthwhile or not.

I also had hash browns and unbuttered wheat toast from Denny's.

And blue cheese dressing salad, 3 pieces of bread, steak, and mashed potatoes for dinner. Too far.

The scale (before the food) said that I lost freaking 8 pounds though. So I am happy.

I ran for a mile too.

Miserable Day

I am so miserable and it is a Saturday. I keep going to Wegmans and getting the tomatoes in the garlic-oil and the mozzarella cheese balls. It comes from the "healthy" section but I know that it is not.

Man am I miserable. Although I did run for awhile. Maybe a mile this morning.

I Need a Break

Friday night and Joanna and I walked for a long time. That was the extent of the exercise today.

Thursday, Day Five

I think that the healthy eating is killing me more than the running. Although my legs feel like lead pipes.

I ran about .75 of a mile, then sprinted and walked for a bit.

Fourth Day, Getting There

Hump day and I am still doing this thing. Drinking a ton of water. I ran about a mile or less. Ugh.

Day Three

Eating is now carrot and celery dominated. And yogurt too. Hummus for protein. No more pizza.

Ran a struggle of about a mile.

Day Two, Happy Memorial Day!

I got up early and ran about a mile today. It felt good. Then I walked about 3 miles in total. Oh, and I ate like crap after the Jordan parade.

The Adventure Begins

Well here we go, my second blogging venture and my fifth running ADventure. Running was a major reason that I did not enjoy sports as a teen, I was that lazy. Seriously, I hated running. Well, fifty pounds later in 1998 I tried my first running stint. It lasted about 2 months and one 5K race at 28 minutes.

I am running 2009 style for a mulitude of reasons.

1. I have gained about twenty or so pounds since the fall. Darn the new house and always accessible food!
2. I need to lose weight to properly wear my clothes.
3. My tight pants are hurting the nerves in my thighs, seriously.
4. I have a wedding in August and those pictures last forever.
5. I LOVE FOOD, especially the wrong food and I need to eat what I want to.

So thanks to a motivational talk to a friend and some harsh truths from my fiance's doctor brother, off I go.

I plan on blogging what I did each day for your viewing pleasure...enjoy!

I ate the buffet at the Turning Stone today. Ugh.

I ran about .5 miles. Then I walked about .75

It is a start.
