Well, it’s official, according to the scale that was used at my doctor’s office. About 8 weeks since I started, I’m back down to my weight right before I entered freshman year in college back in 1992. 169.5lbs (although I think 8 lbs of that was from removing a colon). Anyway, I think I’m in better shape now then I was back in 1992, because back then, I didn’t do much in terms of weights or cardio.
I haven’t had to drastically change my diet, since I was already eatting pretty healthy. I’ve been trying to run everyday at noon, and also in the evening. And I do very light weights every morning and in the evening too.
I think the running really helped A LOT in burning of my calories. Furthermore, I don’t feel as sluggish during the day right after lunch, and sleep much better at night. And interestingly, I’m not as hungry as I use to be when I wasn’t as active. I guess it’s helping speed up my metabolism too.
Now that I’m use to this routine, I can’t imagine going back to not being active. It just feels weird if I can’t run during noon. So I’ve been scheduling my meetings around my run time. Lol.
I think I need to use slightly heavier weights now to bulk up just a bit. I have a small frame and look scrawny sort of.
