Small victory in the war!!

Well I did it.. This morning I weighed my self and I am in the 250s, at 258.6 to be exact! This also means that I have officially lost over 20 lbs since I started on 01/12/09.

I have not been in the 250s since probably 2005 and I am excited about that. I need to dig out some old clothes and see if they fit ;)

Also on Monday I ramped up my mileage, from 2 miles a day to 3 miles a day to coincide with moving my daily cardio from 30 minutes a day to 45+ minutes a day.

While I am excited about what I have done I am still troubled by one aspect. I have yet to be able to run 1 mile consistently, in fact since probably Thursday or Friday of last week, I am only getting in about half a mile of consistent jogging. My muscles are sore longer and its kinda an annoyance. I am trying to stretch properly but that is not good enough ….. Any thought from you runners out there(probably to busy running to chime in)?

Hears to another 20 pounds I can boast about when I am in the 230s!!!

How much water are you drinking? Sore muscles can be caused by too much or too intense exercise and not drinking enough water. You might consider adding a flexibility component to your fitness program, such as yoga, to keep your muscles flexible.

Matthew thank you for the reply.. That might be it.. By the time I get my run in I have probably only consumed 16-24oz of water.

Hrmmm Yoga huh… hrmmm…
