Today marks another year that I’ve been on the planet. I’d almost be nice to go out and celebrate, but I’ve told myself that I wasn’t going to indulge on anything good until I got back down to 160 lbs. So, it’ll probably be a movie and maybe another 6″ Subway sub tonight for dinner. Maybe in another month or two I’ll be able to celebrate appropriately.

I ran for the first time in a couple weeks yesterday. I ran reeaaallly slow, trying to keep my HR down. I’m sure I looked like I was going backwards to the cars that were passing by, but I did my best to not care what I looked like and to do what I need to be doing at this stage in the game. I’m focusing on keeping things very low in intensity and starting out very slowly. I need to have a good couple of weeks of prep and show up healthy for when my base periods start.
