Going and Going and Going


Weigh In: 314.5 (lowest again!)
Calories Consumed: 2354
Calories Burned: 5251 (that's pretty good)

Work Out: Today, 125 minutes - March, 1031 minutes


Ok, so the picture doesn't really 'relate' to today's story, but it's my life story up until this past November.

Today was one of those days where I just needed a hard workout. I was feeling pretty sick this morning, and was a bit frustrated, so I skipped my workout in the morning. I drug through my day, and when I got out into the sunlight again, I felt like I just had to go DO something.

Remember that new Elliptical machine that I said takes it out of me after 10 minutes? I started on it today, and for some reason I felt REALLY strong after 10 minutes, so I went.. 30! And THEN I did my full weight lifting workout.. and THEN went and played 45 minutes of volleyball.

Impressed, aren't you?

So, I stepped on the scale and I couldn't get it to balance.. it hit 314.0, and then hit 314.5, so I decided to go with the higher one for today's weigh in. It doesn't affect my 5 day average since I don't change til Monday anyway, so I thought I'd go with it. Felt pretty good about that as well.

I've heard about 3-4 walks/runs in the next few months, so I'm thinking I might give it a go. I have to find out which ones I need to fundraise for, and which ones I don't have to - they're all for a good cause, but I don't think it's fair to hit the same people up for money 3-4 times in the next few months, so I'll have to be picky on which one to 'promote'. Either way, I'm thinking there's some walks and runs in my future.

So that's about it. The scale keeps tipping, which I feel great about. Since I weighed in only a few hours ago and I weigh in again early tomorrow morning, like 8:00am, I don't expect TOO much of a jump (it'll only be like 12 hours from 2 weigh-ins), but if I can keep steady or better, that's good enough for me.

Needless to say, I'm exhausted. Catch ya'll tomorrow.

I wanna see some pics, though! All these people keep commenting on how great you look, but all I can go by is your weight. C'mon...post some pics. You can do it!
