Reality Weigh day #24

Day 175: Run 63

It's official I have been doing this for at least 6 months now. I've lost about 30 lbs. It would have been more if I didn't allow Christmas to screw me over.



This is what happens when you run in
the rain without waterproof mascara!
(1/8/13)

It has been really hard to get back on track, but I am losing again... kind of but not a measurable amount.

On Wednesday it was raining so hard, I mean just down pouring and I loved running it! I'm sure the cars driving by thought I was nuts, but it felt great!

I have had a lot of people try to tell me what is best, but the truth of the matter is that weight loss is a personal thing and only I can decide what is best for me. What is best for me might not be what is best for you.

I'm the type of person that if you give me an inch I am going to take a mile. If I give myself a cookie, I am going to eat 5. If I have a piece of fudge I'm also going to eat those potato chips. Knowing this about myself I don't give myself cheat days very often. Vacations and holidays are not excuses to gorge myself, but I do it anyways. (I actually did quite well on vacation last August)

Having said that what is best for me might not be best for you, I do have one contradiction to make. Real weight loss does not come from a product. It does not come from a pill, or a wrap or a bottle and surgery is simply cheating unless you're so fat you're going to die without it. Real weight loss comes from change and effort. If you are not willing to make the sacrifice then you are not going to be completely successful. You might get some success, but it wont last forever.

• Motivation:  I need to lose more, must run more!

• Listening to:  Mt. Sims, Muse

• Thankful for: All of the people in the park, because for some reasons my ego wont let me walk if someone is looking, I have to be running.

ROUTE AND STATS:
(Just remember the run tracker's kcals are way off!)
