weigh in wednesday…thanksgiving week edition.
The results are in, another 2.4 lbs down! So close to breaking through my “glass ceiling” pf 300lbs…or is it a glass floor? Doesn’t matter, I’m breaking through this week damn it!
Today’s run went well. I love this route, or variations there of…it’s quiet, decent roads and along the forest preserve. Lately on these early morning runs, I’ve been heading this way. I ran with headphones again, nothing like a run and Green Day on shuffle to start the day! I think part of me is worried that I’ll enjoy running with them too much. I don’t want to rely on them as a crutch. I was in the mood for some toonage…
Thanksgiving is upon us…and as a fat guy, it’s been my favorite holiday. This year, I’m scared shitless. I don’t want to fall off the wagon tomorrow. I’m pretty sure I’ll be ok…besides I’ll be with family and friends who will lend a hand and keep me in check.
I have a lot to be thankful for. I’m thankful for…
- my wife, Pam. My best friend.
- my daughters, K and PG…this is PG’s first Thanksgiving, and I’m excited.
- my family…I don’t see all of you as much as I’d like, but I love you all.
- my friends…especially Jon, for busting my chops and sparking all this
- my job, coworkers and bosses (all 4 of them)
- my new marathon friends
- Dave & Pace of Chicago for helping fan the flame
- Coach Jen and her guidance. I’ll admit, I was leery at first. Six weeks ago, I would have never thought I would be able to run 3-4 miles.
-for the progress I’ve made and the progress I will make
- being able to run
There’s more…but that’s the short list. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy the day!
