Got my weight down to 263.4 which was a loss of around 3.8 pounds last week. Candidly, there was nothing more to it then keeping to the program and hitting my exercise targets. It is great to hit the goal. I have found in the past it is tough to have two weeks of that much weight loss so my goal for this week is 2 points. That will put me within striking distance of under 260.
This week I carried a 40 pound bag of salt for the water softener. As I set it down I realized the benefit of losing that much weight - it is a lot to carry when you run, it puts extra pressure on the heart and body. I have a lot of challenging events coming up but will remain focused on staying the course, the long term benefits are far to great to ignore.
On another note, Linda and I had dinner with some friends on Saturday night. We had a little wine, bread and cookies. Sunday morning was difficult to say the least - it is interesting how simple carbs effect your body and energy levels. Mine was zapped. I was able to get a long run in but it was sloppy at best.
Looking forward to another great week.
