Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 42

Aaaaand… we’re back.

So I wasn’t actually on any Spring Break (it’s been 17 years since I’ve ever taken one), but I just wasn’t feeling my oats last week. Sure, I had not done any running the week after my half-marathon and gained 1.4 pounds. This week, I got in a couple of runs and a few walks with my lovely wife and only gained 0.6 pounds.

I’m gearing up for some serious losing though. I’m going to increase the frequency and length of my runs. I’ve got an image to maintain. After all, my WW leader now refers to me as one of her “athletes”. I have NEVER had anyone use the word athlete in reference to me except when saying “athlete’s foot”. I’ve still got people asking when my next run is. Some asked me today if I did a race this past weekend!

It is rather humbling that people now expect so much out of me when they used to expect so little (and got it every time). Now I need to deliver.

I had also been bad about my eating. However, that’s no news. We’ve been letting too much of our farmer’s co-op go bad each week and it’s gotten worse in the last few months. Time to break this cycle and get to using that stuff.

I tried one of the kiwi tonight. We have three small bags of them and neither of us has touched them. Am I supposed to eat the fuzzy skin? I’ve only ever seen people eat them in slices after peeled. So I peeled one and ate it like a hard boiled egg… and it was VERY good. I’ve got a new work snack as I’m getting somewhat tired of apples (oh, what? another bag of apples this week? sigh).

I still haven’t posted anything about my half-marathon. I will very soon. I need to get that down before I forget some very special memories.
