WiW: Week 17

Waist: 31
Hips: 38
Thigh: 24

Not much new to report. I didn't do any workouts since last week. My eating hasn't improved. Between a dinner at Carrabba's (did you know that Maryland law requires that restaurants put the calorie counts on the menu? I'll never be able to order Pasta Weesie again!) a meal with a friend at home with dessert, and dinner at my mom's, I figured I'd have at least a few extra pounds to lose when I got home.

I fully intended to run when I got home, but it was hot and I was sleepy and I didn't want to wake myself up with a run.

I know, excuses.

WiW: Week 16

This is going to be a pretty pathetic update. I left Tuesday for Maryland, with grand plans to run either on my dad's treadmill (broken!) or at the beach (hot, no sleep, didn't want to hold the rest of the world up with my tummy issues) and to do my measurements on Wednesday. I knew weights were out, and I figured my runs would be fairly quick, but I was going to maintain as much normalcy to my workout routine as possible.

I completely forgot to do measurements. My shoes were wet when I packed them, and by the time I got them out of their bag, they stunk to high heaven. Half of my suitcase was filled with workout related gear, none of which I've touched. My schedule has been crazy packed, and by the time it eases up, I think I'm going to call project Vacation with Exercise a bust.

Bummer.

I plan to return (to Texas, to running, to metrics) on Wednesday. Until then, I'm going to eat as much lettuce as possible and enjoy my family and friends.

WiW: Week 15

Weight: 148.4

Waist: 30.5
Hips: 38
Thigh: 24

I'm still generally pooped, more than a little attached to the couch, and not losing weight, but I'm still somehow improving my runs. On Monday, I ran for 40 minutes. Straight. I never would have thought I could do something like that 4 months ago. I ran 3.83 miles, with a total workout distance of 4.55 miles.

I've run about 150 miles in the last 15 weeks.

I guess for now, that will have to be enough.
