He's my excuse, but he thought they were cool too.  Bear tries to eat them.

Started a "biggest loser"-type program with a few of my heavyweight friends yesterday. Here are some weigh-in stats:

Height: 5'11
Weight: 213.8

I'm at a big disadvantage as far as the competition goes as they all have much more to lose than I do. I figured I could use the motivation, though.

Updates every week!

Thanks!

213.8 lb     Initial
202.6 lb     Week 1 Loss : 11.2 lb

Total Loss : 11.2 lb

First, I'll say I just got back from running around playing broom ball for about and hour and was not sufficiently re-hydrated before I weighed in, so that probably accounts for some loss.

But in any case, It's good motivation to stick with it.

I suppose you have to run with the phone then, eh? I've considered getting one of those phone holding things for mp3 purposes, but my headphone jack stopped worked so I didn't think I needed one anymore.

Anyway, I've started a half-marathon training program. Today is in red. Units are miles.


Yikes. So maybe I'll take a look at that app. I know how far I'm running but it'll be cool to track stuff. Just FYI, I forgot to weight in last Monday, so I'll have some results for two weeks on Monday.

That's so cool , I've signed up to do the liverpool marathon in October! I'm so scared I wont be able to do it. But I'm going to give it my all. I joined a running club a couple of weeks ago and I am absolutely loving it! Our guys from the club are going to help us train.

I actually want to start training for a half-marathon (gotta get above 10K eventually); I'm saving this to use in the future.

By the way, you should look into doing/training for a Warrior Dash (5K obstacle courses) or Tough Mudder (which is between 8-10 miles, but it's INSANE with the obstacles) if you find jogging on cement just plain boring after a while. Plus, the training is kinda fun.

Ya know, there was something like this Colorado awhile back a few of my buddies were looking at (I think it was the shorter one). Once we finish this training thing, I may try and convince them to do something like that. Looks fun.

Oh, and good luck on the training! I get sorta bored easy except I always find it fascinating how far I can go when running 10 miles, 12 miles, etc.. I like mapping my run much more than actually running it.

178.0 lb     Week 7 - 1/2 of 8 : 6.0 lb

Total Loss : 35.8 lb

The temp has been high 90's to 100's out here lately so I imagine that 6.0 and the total will be fluctuating towards the end here due to my hydration level. My graduation ceremony and the end of the competition is the 14th. I'll be sure to let you know who wins! (It'll be me).

Gotta start looking for some more motivation in case I decide I don't care about being a thinner person anymore.

Thanks!  I forget you don't really do facebook.  I had a baby boy last Friday.  He's awesome and he gets lots of kisses from his big sister.

In other news, there are toys EVERYWHERE because my lovely daughter is getting away with murder.
