I have been a bad blogger again. I have completed 7 weeks of my c25k training and I have completed day 1 of week 8. 7 weeks ago I was running a minute and a half at a time. Today I am running 28 minutes at a time.
My legs are getting huge and my body fat is falling away. I made a big mistake and shaved off my goatee. One of the girls I work with told me i look cherubic (like cupid) I would post picts of me but there is no way in hell I am going to post the 12 year old cupid boy that I look like.
I have had some great success since I joined the weight watchers core plan. I get plenty of protein and I have lost at least 5 pounds in three weeks. Saturday is my next weigh in and I expect to have lost a few pounds more.
Hope all is well

Run Fat Boy Run Pt 2
Well this was my first weigh in day after being in weight watchers. I am not expecting to lose a bunch of weight but I need some support and Help with my life long weight management plan. My group leader Melanie is Great.
After a few weeks of some slight increases in diet I lost 4.2 pounds in one week. This rate of loss is not expected to happen long term but it was a good kickstart. I DO not like the scales at WW because I think they are off a little. My scale at home was perfectly set with the scales at Emory. But I am going to adjust my weight to the WW scales for consistency. My beginning WW weight on May 30 was 240.4. My weigh in today was 236.2 a loss of 4.2 pounds regardless of the actual figure a 4.2 pound loss in one week is too good to be true.
Also today was my completion of my longest run yet. I ran for 20 mins without a break. For my friends who are runners that is not a lot but for us couch potatoes. Thats HUGE BABY. Check back in a few days.

LOTS TO REPORT
Since my last post I went on my annual trip to Key West Florida. That was one of the best trips I have ever had. And the best thing is my fat ass could not fit into an airplane seat comfortably. Its such an incredible difference.
I met some new friends there and became re acquainted with some folks I have met before. I gained 0 (zero) pounds while I was on the island. I never over ate. I did drink a little more than I should have. The good thing about Key West is you walk everywhere so problem with drinking. I also ran everyday that I was on vacation except the day I traveled down. The day I got back before I went home I went to the gym.
I am in the middle of week 5 of my c25k training and that should be completed tomorrow. Its getting harder but I am able to tackle it better than I thought.
Last saturday I joined Weight Watchers as I feel that I need ongoing support with weight management. I do not feel that the plan at Emory has provided as much in the maintenance portion as I have in the past and there is no accountablility with their ongoing support. I decided to follow the Core Plan . I will give updates on this as I go along.
I put on a few pounds in the weeks leading up to my vacation. 7 to be exact. So I was around 239. I have reduced that to 234 this week.
