So, a couple of months ago I made grandiose claims to wanting to lose weight as part of my training, to work towards my time goals and improve my overall fitness and health. (See my post “Transposition.”)
I am not making excuses but since (on principle) I do not have a scale at home, it’s tough for me to weigh myself on a regular basis. But, today I went to the gym (for a tempo run), and weighed in.
141.5 pounds.
Still not runner-light, but lighter than before. Still working towards 134, but I may as well ‘fess up and tell you all I’ve been enjoying chocolate ice cream with peanut butter lately. Yeah, I know, not exactly the “one smart choice” a day I’d posted about!
I am aiming to have these weigh-ins every Monday, as I think that’s going to be the day of the week I get up and do my tempo runs at the gym before work.

I need to experience this nutella ice cream i keep hearing about. Especially now with the weather getting warmer.
jennifer in ct sent me. i’m getting back to running (slowly!) following a ligament tear in my ankle almost 2 years ago. i’ve (insanely) committed, publicly no less!, to running the 5mi leg of the mayor’s midninght sun marathon in june 09.
