For February my trainer, Cassie<\/a>, set the group a challenge. Pick a personal goal fitness\/health wise that we think we could achieve and she would help us with it. I wasn’t really wanting to do the usual fitness stuff like Run a set time or something like that, so I looked at the month ahead saw that it could be a challenge on the eating side and figured if I tried to set myself a weight and stick to it. But I have been running every day since the start of November. I haven’t had a day off running in almost 3 months.<\/p>\n

So the goal I set with Cassie was that i would maintain 175lb (plus or minus one pound) while having at LEAST 2 days off (doesn’t have to be consecutive) training during the month of february. Cassie agreed to it, I set up my eating & exercise list (which mind you I have not stopped doing since I started losing the weight over 3 years ago) so she could access it and away we went.<\/p>\n

So Today rolls around, the end of the first week. I started off Feb at 172.3lb… a little bit lower than my goal… Not good! I usually weigh in on Mondays (and I am still doing that) but I kept up the training last week, I was a good boy (apart from Sunday when I went to skillet Diner for breakfast #nomnomnom) and kept on track eating wise during the week and I came out pretty good. <\/p>\n

Weighed in this morning at 173.3lb and I am pretty happy with that. I think by the end of the month I can be setting at that 175lb mark and be happy with it all. Tomorrow is my first day off running in over 3 months and boy am I looking forward to it. Although I will be up at o-dark thirty for my flight, just the fact that I am not out running will be good, and I will feel like I deserve that rest (though I won’t be getting much sleep).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
