Stag Parties, Regents grading, Rehearsal Dinners, Weddings, Receptions, Honeymoons...and I exercised each and every day through it all.
All of that happened in the past few weeks and I never missed a day. I am running 8:40 miles for 5 mile runs each day or an hour on the bike on 10 resistance.
I ran the morning of my wedding, I biked the night after in a Boston Park Plaza Hotel Fitness room, I ran the streets of Boston- Newberry/Commonwealth/Berkeley/etc and saw Fenway last Sunday morning. The next day I ran along the road on the ocean in Hyannis in Cape Cod. Did that Tuesday too!
I have not missed a day. Eaten like a pig through some of this but still working hard.
I have even lost a little weight through all of this madness.
5K to work for in Camillus, NY on September 19. I need a 10K though.

Weight Loss and Double Sessions
Well I am still eating relatively healthy, plenty of fruit and vegetables and some cereal and skim milk, salads, low fat cheese, and sometimes chips and salsa and whatnot.
I have lost just over fifty pounds!
The double sessions a few times a week help.
I have 3 ways of getting cardio:
-Running outside (my favorite but man the shin still beyond kills me)
-Walking on the highest incline on the treadmill
-Riding the stationary bike at the YMCA
All burn about the same calories because of the time I spend on each, 600-900 or so. Some days I do two.
Yesterday I biked for 58 minutes at 600 calories burned in the afternoon and ran 3.8 miles in 34 minutes in the night. That was a good day.
Today I just ran 4 miles.
Tomorrow I hope I can push for a double session.
One more pound to lose and I am the top of the normal scale for BMI! No longer obese or even overweight. Mind you the very top for a "large" frame so probably I need to drop more.
If, with the crap I am certain to eat for the wedding and on vacation, I keep working out and make a good push after- I am certain I can shave 10-15 more off by Labor Day. That would be Memorial Day to Labor Day 60-65 pounds. 240 to 190 to ___? 175?
Oh, I have been working with the nautilus too. That should help get some arm/chest/shoulder muscle definition.
I am really liking this. Minus missing the cookies and pizza!
