15 Months
Well it has been 15 grueling months now. I am down 317 from my highest. I lost a few and gained a few, cut out cheese and all is right in the weight loss world. The gym is still going great. My trainer, Mitch, seems to be helping a lot. My strength isn’t going up but my endurance is. I can tell because I can run a lot better. Last week I ran 4.1 miles in 48 minutes. A huge achievement for me. I can do a 5k in under 37 minutes. Things are definitely heading in the right direction.
At this time tomorrow I will be on vacation for two weeks. I am very excited. I am planning on relaxing a lot and a weekend in Philly. I am going down for my birthday and for Hannah’s birthday. She will be three. I got her an awesome present, definitely better then Uncle Mike’s. Birthday or no birthday I have a great time when I go down. Mostly I hang our with Mark, Kristen and the kids doing nothing but its really fun and really relaxing. Who knew I could like children that much (although I did have fun with Richie’s family in Wisconsin so maybe I don’t hate kids).
When I am in Philly I will be going off the diet. I have been excellent on the diet the whole time and I deserve a cheat weekend. I am going to have pizza, chinese, mexican, a philly cheesesteak and some good desserts. I know that when I get back from Philly I will be back on the diet so I am not worried about going off.
Their are pics on my facebook page at 15 months, the one of my back is for all of you Red Sox fans.
