long time, no update

Published by milo under diet, general, sports

I haven’t posted in 2 weeks. Mostly because I don’t really have anything new to share … but I figured I should say something.

I reached my weight watcher’s goal. On August 25th I weighed 160 pounds. This morning I weighed 140 pounds. So now I actually get some points back because I just want to maintain my weight rather than lose any more. I do feel like another 5 pounds is do-able, but I’m very happy with how I look at the moment, so I’m going with it.

Motivating myself to run is a bit more difficult now that it’s cold and dark, but I’m still running 3 times per week. 3 miles, 3 miles, 4 miles at the moment - but I’d like to extend that 4 mile run to 5 miles. I plan to run the “Turkey Trot” on Thanksgiving, and then no more 5K races until spring.

monetary loss

Published by milo under diet

It’s a sad day at the Milo house. Both Jessamyn and are paying money to lose weight. The formula is so simple, burn more calories than you take in, but it seems we need help doing that. I just finished signing up for Weight Watchers for Men Online. Over the next 3 months, the goal is to go from my current 160 - down to 145. Hopefully, my 5K training is going to be a big help - but one week into my “official training” - I haven’t lost a single pound (actually gained 2 pounds). The website is giving me 28 points per day - should be pretty do-able … I’ll keep you posted.
