The 190 Marker
February 26, 2013
Weight is 190.0 lbs, a slight increase of 1.0 lb. from yesterday's 189.0
When I started, or restarted, my program, I weighed 204 and went on up to 207 briefly. I've been a runner for many years, about 36 now, and I love to walk but I like to run even more. If I've been off for a while, I know better than to begin to run right away, so I set the 190 lb. marker as the point where I would begin to run again. I could not resist the temptation to run, however, and as I walked, I found find myself breaking into a compulsory run; I just couldn't help it. Now, I have reached the 190 marker and I'm doing more running, being more consistent with it.
Yesterday was a very wet day here in Oklahoma and I'm not complaining. We desperately need rain. Our ponds are dry, stock and wildlife are struggling, and plants and trees are dying. It was so wet and cold that I did not try to run outside, which is the only place I like to run, during the day. But I was thinking desperately and I was considering going to the mall and walking three miles. I didn't get to do that and soon it was evening. At 9:14 PM (21:14 hours), I suited up and went out for a run. My goal was 3 miles (300 calories) and I did not achieve that, but I did run 2.2 miles and burned 210 calories, so it was not a failure, just less of a success. My rain gear leaked and my Motorola Electrify got wet. I pulled it apart and removed the battery to let all of it dry so it's on life support at the moment and I don't know what will happen with it. I hope it can be rescued.
And the verdict is in and the telephone has expired. I took it in to US Cellular as soon as they opened their doors and a couple of quick checks confirmed that the telephone is gone, so we called the insurance unit and had a new telephone on the way to me. I had to pay my deductible or $100.00 and I'm limping by on a loaner telephone, other than that, all is well. (Grin)
I expected to weigh about 188.5 lbs. today and I was indeed surprised to weigh 190 lbs. so I hope for a better result tomorrow, 188.5 lbs.
