I lost another 3 lbs. this week. And I have gained one notch on my favorite belt. I am wearing a pair of jeans and also a pair of slacks that I have not worn in over a year.
I decided one day this week that instead of doing my regular cardio workout, I would go for a 3-mile run outside (well, it turned into more of a 3-mile walk with a few running/jogging spurts in between). Let me tell you, it tore me up. I am still aching from that run. My shins hurt and my thighs hurt and even my upper body hurts. I now have a newfound respect for my wife, the real runner. She just ran a half-marathon (13.1 miles) on April 6 and she did it in less than 2 hours (and she ran the entire thing – no walking at all).
