It's Monday, Monday, la, la, la--weigh-in!
Okay, bad YouTube singing aside, today is Monday and it's weigh-in day, for those of you who choose to participate. So how'd you do this week?
I'm up a bit this morning, though I was down during the week. I don't feel too bad, though, since I am FINALLY able to run again! I had cortisone shots in my knees on Friday, and was able to run 3 miles yesterday, so WOOT! I was afraid two weeks off from running would cause me to lose all my conditioning, but thankfully not so.
I always believe that the slightest break in my exercise regimen will have drastic consequences: weight gain, loss of fitness, etc. I guess I want to hang onto that, because it gives me a sense of urgency to get me to work out and not start down the path to couch-potato-ness again. On the other hand, it's hard to remember that bodies need rest days too, to recover and build strength. Anybody else have that problem? Having never in my life been any kind of athlete, I have no frame of reference for this.
Okay, bottom line:
Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 138.3 lbs
This week: 140.4 lbs
Gain of 2.1 lbs
Hope I can run more this week and get that two lbs back off my butt. See folks on Saturday for coffee!
