I got a two (just not one I'd prefer)

Well, I did managed to eke out a loss of two...tenths, that is.  That's right, despite Friday night's fish fry madness, I still eked out a meager 0.2 lb. loss for this week, putting me at 269.2 lbs.

Since my Friday dinner intake was almost a pound full of calories (nearly 3,000 consumed with there being 3,500 calories per pound), I well could have lose a full pound or more this week had I opted not to indulge.  I must say, however, that fried fish has and likely always will be one of my favorites, so I'm likely to allow myself to indulge once or twice a year.

My slight loss this morning likely would not had I not doubled up on my workout last night.  This morning, I'm surprised my legs feel as good as they do. There are no muscle aches or pains.  I only have a twinge of discomfort in the vicinity of my left hip socket.  I should note, however, that I'm wearing my newest and most cushioned work shoes today, so I think they're helping my feet not feel too sore.

Well, I proved I can divert from plan and recover a few times now.  Time to let that dog lie. I have only eight weeks left and would like to lose another 16 lbs.

Dinner last night was one cup of our homemade chili with one tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, and a large bowl of salad with sugar snap peas and two tablespoons of raspberry vinaigrette (60 calories for the vinaigrette).  It was a very satisfying meal.

Well, the rest of the week beckons...  I start Week 4 of the 100 Pushup challenge this evening.  W1D3 three of C25K will be tomorrow (Wednesday).

C25K Redux - W1D2 (and 100PU - W3D3)

I'm catching up after a long weekend.  This past Friday was our city's annual fish fry.  I knowingly set aside my diet plans for the evening.  Over the weekend, I completed 100PU - W3D2, and I finished W3D3 this evening with a total of 127 reps.

The big achievement for the evening, however, was W1D2 of my C25K redux.  It went well.  So well, actually, that I ran through the entire workout twice.  That's right: twice!  I did the running segments the first time through at 5 mph, with the final one at 6 mph.  The second time through, I did most of them at 6 mph (I had one at 5.5 mph in the middle), and then did the final one at 7 mph.


I know it may sound crazy, but I didn't feel like I was pushing it too much at all.  Actually, it felt pretty good!


The weigh in is tomorrow, and I know I may not be down this week due to my fish fry consumption (two days worth of calories in a single sitting at 210 calories per fillet).  That's okay, though.  I know why, and I'm already back on plan.  We'll see what the morning brings.

Good night.
