Back on some type of wagon

Hi all. Somebody left me a comment last week that I had not made a post in over a year. Quite true. Oddly enough I am getting back into something of a groove to kick-start myself into action with my diet and exercise. I just got home from a run and figured I would kick a post out for you all. See the video below for that I posted on YouTube a few weeks ago.



While I have not made it back to raw yet I have changed my eating habits and started to run again.






As another incentive to keep my running up I have registered for the Gobbler Grind 5k in November. That gives me almost two months to double my mileage, which should not be a problem since in three weeks that I have been running again I have went from .5 mile to 1.5 miles. (and if you followed the blog last year you know I went from zero to five miles in a few months)

I must confess to you guys that I am not back on the raw diet, however, I am eating a whole lot more veggies now than I was last month. I am doing a modified carb-cycling diet that is based on that plan I found on Scooby's Workshop. My previous last weigh-in was from early August (so no exact beginning weigh-in point) but as of 4 days ago I am down 11 pounds from my high of 315.

I'll let y'all go for now. Gotta go make my scrambled egg whites and veggies for lunch. Until next time.

Ok now, this is ridiculous.

My how the time flies. Between projects at work, family crisis and just the plain ol' movement of life it has been almost 4 months since I last posted. Sorry about that folks.

I am sad to say that I pretty much abandoned running in June. Here in the Kansas City area it rained pretty much the whole month and with what I suspect was over-training lethargy I just didn't want to run any more. I feel bad because after doing so well with Natalie's fitness program at work the 1st 12 weeks I sputtered and fell out of it the 2nd 12 weeks.

If you were interested I had 6 interim weigh-ins and an additional measurement post I could make but at this point i say let's just skip 'em and get on with the show.

Here is my restart point as of today:

Weight: 294.8
Body Fat %: 37.6

Neck: 19"
Arm: 12.5"
Chest: 49"
Waist: 48"
Hips: 48.5"
Thigh: 25.75"
Calf: 18"

I guess officially I am still down 20lbs for the year but it hurts to say I was at one point down almost 50lbs. I do feel like I have some level of fitness left but I would hate to see how far my running distance has fallen off. I guess I will find out though some time in the near future. Maybe Thursday.

The reinvention of self in 2009 has stalled out a bit. I've got the eyes seeing at 20/15, last month I bought the luxury car I loved from my younger years but now I need to work on the hardest part of my reinvention, my physical self.

I have ~4 months left this year. It is time to get back to work.
