I weighed myself on Thursday. I'm down to 258 pounds. My clothes fit wonderfully and I feel good. I am no longer running (at least long distance) since it put such a wear on my knees. I'm going to try to use the Interval Training to try and increase my weight loss.
I thought about it... If I weigh 258 now and started off around 296 or 300, then that means I've lost about 38 to 42 pounds since June 14 (around 11 weeks). I only have 33 pounds to lose before I'm at my target weight. It's going to be hard to keep up a good workout routine, especially with school. But dang it, I'm going to try!

Two Weeks Late
So last week, I weighed in after a good week of running 25 minutes for three days at 274.
This week, I have done the following runs:
Walk 5 minutes
Jog 28 minutes
Walk 5 minutes
On Monday, I astounded myself. I completed six laps in 14 minutes, right at the halfway point. I ran 10 laps in 23:45. I ran 12 laps in 28:32, about one hundreds yards short at the end of 28 minutes. Needless to say, I was very happy.
On Tuesday, Leah and I went to the Ozark Empire Fair. It was fun, but extremely hot. I ended up eating about half of a huge funnel cake coated in powdered sugar (Ugh!) and a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Overall, I was proud of what I ate.
On Wednesday, I discovered that the funnel cake was probably not best. I felt very heavy, very energy drained, and worn out during my run. I really wanted to quit halfway through, but I kept going, only being about fifty yards short of 6 laps at the halfway mark. I completed eleven laps in 28:00 minutes. I was discouraged but okay with the results.
Today, I weighed in at 269. I have beaten the 270 mark! Hopefully I will be able to add intervals to my workout next week to see if I can push the weight loss.
One problem I haven't tackled or consider is the band camp that is coming up in two weeks, considering that will be almost all day. Or the fact that school starts in three weeks. That will knock out my early morning running time. But I shall prevail!
Thinking about adding a picture next week...

A week late...
And a nickel short.
I just made that up.
I'll have a post for the last two weeks hopefully up this Saturday. Our internet has been patchy the last week or so, which prevented me from updating last week.
The big news? Last Thursday, I weighed 273. I'm hoping to break below 270 this week. I got my fingers crossed and my blood flowing!
