79! Man, I started this thing a long time ago.

Have you ever heard someone say something like, when you have a goal, you should imagine yourself like 2 or 3 months from now, and think of how far along you would be in that goal then if you started now? Or kind of the reverse, imagine if you still haven’t started 2 or 3 months from now, and then you thought back on that moment when you could have begun. Yeah, it’s really true. Despite the fact that at times the weight loss has been frustratingly slow, or at least that’s how it felt to me, I really have gotten further in this time than I think I really expected even.

I just finished my first run in… awhile. And the 5k I’m doing is this Sunday! Hopefully it’s a flat(ish) course, if so I probably have a decent chance of jogging the whole way instead of having to walk for a bit. I’m only going to have a chance for one more run before it (Thursday). If it’s not flat, then, I will probably spend some time walking. It is what it is. Hopefully by the time of the Turkey Trot I’ll actually be able to get a decent 5k in reliably. I’ll most likely have added at least a few carbs back into my diet by then.

If you’re wondering where I am weight-wise right now, I’m hovering around 183 at the moment…  my little app that averages out the weights I enter every day and makes predictions says I should be 180.6 by Saturday. That would be great, because if it does happen than I’ll be in the 170’s by the end of my 90 days.

Ok.. anyway, 79! It was the year that Mount Vesuvius erupted.
