The Long Run

I have spent the past week (and also this week) getting ready for three weekends: our Freedom Weekend and two more disciple nows for guys in Oklahoma. Freedom is just a fancy name for Disciple Now. It is a crazy busy time.

Driving back and forth to Tulsa and then to Weatherford (I have no idea what I was thinking) is really limiting the amount of time I can work out. Things are slowing down for me. I need to be able to spend an hour working out each day. When I travel, I struggle to find 25 or 30 minutes. And it is been a struggle eating as well. When I control what I eat and where I eat, I do well. When I am at the mercy of someone else outside of family, it is really a crapshoot. So I am hoping that the slow down will continue one more week and then I can get back on track.

All that said, I lost weight since the last weigh in. I dropped another three pounds. I hovered around losing four pounds but I just didn't exercise enough. But losing any weight is a good thing. It took me 30 years or so to acquire all this mass. I am not going to lose it all in four months. I must be patient.

So if you add in the total, I have lost 79 pounds. Eight away from the next weight loss goal. I am hoping that I can make that goal in the next two weeks. But I am not holding my breath for it since I am spending too much time on the road and away from home. But losing weight each week is a great feeling. I just want to be skinny now.

So far: down 79 pounds.
