I don’t know about y’all, but I seem to have forgotten about my blog. Not totally, though… I’ve thought about it off and on over the past couple of weeks, but it just seems like I never think about it when I have time to update.

I’ll be honest, too… I’ve been very frustrated with my weight-loss lately, and that’s part of the reason I haven’t been overly-enthusiastic about updating y’all with my craptastic results.

I can make excuse after excuse, but when it comes down to it, my eating and exercise habits over the last couple weeks haven’t been the best… and the scale has reflected my efforts. I’ve actually managed to gain and lose a couple pounds, so I’m still sitting at 212lbs as of this morning.

I do have to keep reminding myself that I’ve lost almost 110lbs since March, but it’s still disheartening to not see the scale move the way I want it to.

ANYWAYS… on to some good news

I’ve kept up with my running. I’ve tried to get out there at least 3 times/week, and have done fairly decent.

I did set a new personal running record last Tuesday – 9.11 miles.

I’m not going to lie, it sucked. A little less than halfway into it, I started questioning what the heck I was doing… You can see in the map of my route below, I was out in the middle of nowhere on HWY 30 between HWY 6 & 158.

I was very tempted to cut across by the yet to be finished Adams building and take a couple miles off, but decided to stick it out.

Unfortunately, there were times I had to slow down to a walk. Overall, though, I’m happy I did it… even if I didn’t run 100% of the time. It’s still a distance record, and I’d been wanting to get out on a long run for a while, but had been putting it off.

Well that’s about all I’ve got for today… I’m starting back on my strict diet and exercise routine today. I’ve got to reset and forget all I’ve done in the past and start from day 0. It’s all about what I do on a daily basis to get me to my ultimate goal.

If any of y’all are going to the Rec tonight, I’ll be there… Say “Hey!”

P.s. I’ve disabled comments due to the overwhelming amount of spam I’ve been receiving. I’ll turn it back on when I have time to dig into a solution for that problem. This is fixed
