90 days till the Tely 10!

It's time for me to start cracking down again, and get really serious. The Tely 10 and I've still got a long way to go.

I know I can do it though. I've already started running on my own to build up my tolerance, and I know that the Running Room clinic is going to be a big help once that gets started.

But for the time being I'm going to try and change my lifestyle by getting up early in the morning and going to bed at a reasonable hour. I started doing that this morning, and I already feel better. I was up and to the gym at by 9:00 AM and on my way home by 11:00 AM, thus leaving me with the rest of the day to get things done at a regular pace.

As well I was also able to have all 3 meals at normal times today! Before I would eat breakfast when I got up at 11:00, then eat lunch when I got back from the gym at 2:00, and I would eat supper at around 4:00 before I would go to work. This meant that I was eating all 3 meals in approximately 5 hours! Now, I'm no nutritionist, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't healthy.

I'll update any weight-loss later this week!

The arse fell out of her

Yeah, so I didn't stick to my guns for the last week, and as the title says "the arse fell out of her". From my last post to today I didn't get back to the gym. I also didn't eat very well for the last week so as a result, I gained 2 more pounds, so as of today I weigh 227.

But I won't discourage myself! I went to the gym today, I ate three sensible meals, and I have a fridge full of "good" foods!

So my new plan is to be down to 223 by Friday! I'll let you know then how I do!

Long time no see...

Hey, It's been a while since I posted, my bad. I've had a bunch of school work to be doing, but I'm all done now for the summer, so I'm focusing on losing a lot of weight over the next couple of months.

I'm still going to the gym, and right now I'm down to around 225. I've decided that by this Sunday (April 16th) I want to be down to 220. Then from now on I'm going continue setting small goals rather than "just try to lose weight". I feel that this will help keep myself motivated.

Also, I've just signed up for a clinic with Running Room to help me train for the Tely 10, my ultimate goal.

So now I'm also going to start running as well as going to the gym. The real benefit here is that If I can't get to the gym some day, I could still slap my sneakers on, and go for a run.

Anyways, thats all I have to report on for right now, and thanks to all of the strangers who have been leaving me nice messages! You're really boosting my ego!
