So I know that it has been a long time since I have posted, almost two months, but I figured that with my schedule the way it was is school I needed the time I was using to exercise, to devote to homework. I feel like I am going to get decent grades this semester so now it is time to get back on track.
I have decided to ease back into it, I have wanted to run a mini triathlon for quite some time, so I went to Runnersworld.com and downloaded an eight week running program that is supposed to take me from couch potato to being able to run 30 minutes at a time in this eight weeks. I have never been a runner so this is going to be an accomplishment. The program is set up so if I feel like I need some more practice on a week I can draw it out another week, but I am hoping that I can stick to the program. If anything the best thing that can come from this is I will drop some weight and start running 30 minutes at a time. They say it takes 21 days to make a habit, but in my case eight weeks isn't bad either.
For those of you who have followed my blog and though, "I knew he wasn't going to keep up with it" well your wrong, I will and I am. I have my priorities and right now getting passing grades is my priority. It will pay the bills in the future. I still have the desire to lose weight, and right now my goal is to shoot for a loss of 50 pounds by December, provided that my final semester in school isn't too overwhelming. That means that I have to lose 1.5 pounds a week until the third week in December. I would like it to be more, hopefully I can lose 2 pounds a week and lose 68 - 70 pounds in these 34 weeks, but I am going to make a realistic goal and go for it. One and a half pounds a week isn't terribly hard to do.
