My weight this morning was 239.5.
I have not had a run since Wednesday, mostly because of what was probably a mild diverticulitis attack, but the good news about that is my appetite was down anyway. So, the milestone I had been trying to reach was to be under 240 pounds. I made that last week, and then I waited a week before announcing the actual weight. I wanted to make sure it was no discrepancy in the scale, and that I was not going to bounce higher all of a sudden. I didn't. This is for real.
This is where I am ashamed to say where I had actually been at my worst one year ago. I was probably in the upper 250s. So, I've lost at least 15 pounds since then.
I feel much better now that I have lost that weight, but I have a long way to go. My hope is that I will lose at least five pounds a month. That would mean dropping another 20 pounds by the time late fall rolls around when I'll probably stop running for the year. I just don't like running in the nasty winter weather.
In the meantime, I need to get back to running now, but I am heading to N.J. on Tuesday because my mom is having surgery. Perhaps I will be able to get some runs in on the boardwalk. I'll try to keep posting while I'm away.
