W6 = 264

W7 = 257

I am only 100# heavier than the average Hurtlocker hosehead!

Not sure I will ever see a weight that starts with a 1 again ... unless it has 4 places.

I'm beginning to wonder why I run these threads, but here I am doing it again.

Hey .. I am less than TeaOlive x 2

The month of March is gonna be a good one !  Time to increase my efforts to de-fat !

Less ice and snow - More great weather days (Not today - 4 inches of snow today).

I love 40-60F to run ...

BTW - I find it humorous when goal weight is within 10# of actual weight ... You all live a different life than I do.  10# is beer and pizza Fridays

The path is very narrow when you travel ! ~ If you are lucky enough to only work 10 hour days and be somewhere you can actually work out ... It can be good ...

For me to be good

*  Work only 10ish hours

*  avoid free beer / wine at hotel

* do not go out to eat with co-workers

* workout and then eat light ~ No snacks in hotel

But I had some good inside and outside options within 10 minutes of my hotel.  One park with a great 2.8 mile paved loop, another with about 7 miles of technical hilly trails.  A YMCA within 15 minutes, a Gold Gym for $5 if stay at hotel within 10 minutes.  a 200 foot vertical hill right outside the hotel to a residential area.

I could be really really good or really really bad ... but it was much easier being bad.

W8: 186

 

But I'm on travel for two weeks -- which is never good for eating right.

I have never lived more than 1/2 mile from farm fields and pitch black at night.  I have visited Chicago a few times ... too much concrete, people ... well everything.

So you can substitute "Old friends" for my co-worker rule ... Don't any of them run?  Earn your food and beer with a good group run.

Maybe the hardest part is being out of my routine.  Well, that and I've traveled to a place where I lived for 12years . . . so there are lots of people to see.  Which means lots of free beer and delicious meals.

 

THough, I thought it was funny that I could only run 2miles from my hotel without entering pitch black.  Living in Chicago you get used to the light pollution, and its benefits.
