6 months + update

Jan 03, 2010

I haven't been on here in so long and I want to change that. It seems that I have lost a bit of momentum in my tracking of my weight loss but I'm happy to say that I'm still losing despite me eating what I want over the holidays. My weight this morning is 216 lbs. I was down to 214 this last Saturday but I guess I'm holding onto a bit of bloat. I did participate in the 5K last month and I finished in 54 minutes - not very fast but I did it. I realized that running on real ground is very different than on a treadmill or running in place. My bro wants me to do another 5K in February and I think I am going to do it. I hate to say it but I continue to smoke. I once again have this monkey on my back and I feel that I'm fighting two wars - one with weight and one with smoking. I know that a lot of non smokers can't understand the addiction of cigarettes but it has a hold of me and I'm struggling to stop. I made an appointment with my primary MD for February and I want to ask her for another prescription for Chantix. This drug helped me to quit for over 2 years and I need some type of help.

My new years resolution is to keep my calories at 1200 a day and to exercise 5 days a week. I need to get my momentum up because I know if I take my eyes off the prize and stop working  toward my goal I will never reach it. My short term goal is to get under 200 lbs by February 4th.
