OK, I followed the rules this morning.  After meeting all the proper criteria, I weighed in at 189, actually down from the 190 I reported on Thursday.  I had 8-10 oz of water before my run and just out of curiosity, I weighed myself again when I got out of the shower and I weighed 190   Oh well, there's my base.

I was very happy that the baggies came back into style.  I wore the speedos in the 70' and 80's and I doubt it was a pretty sight, regardless of what I thought at the time.  and not because of the present condition.  I was no more than 165 until I got out of college--at 6'-2", it's a wonder they stayed up

After going out to dinner and having an oversized Manhattan too,  I am now 131.2. This is what I hoped to have the scale read 2 weeks from now. 

Beach going really isn't my motivation, since crap, have you seen the youth of America lately?  And where I live, everyone hits the beach, whether in perfect shape or not, so, that wasn't enough motivation.  What got me in gear was realizing that I didn't want to be hauling an extra 7-10 lbs around as I try for my first 3 marathons.  I have my weekly weight goals now on my spreadsheet right alongside my training plan for each week.  Subtle reminder, but there.   This is my time, while mileage is low, to shed some lbs.

I am determined.
