hey there time for another update....
As of late I've been thinking about switching it up and doing the gym in the morning so that it frees up my nights and gives me a better start to the day by boosting my metabolism early in the day. This morning was my first time doing a morning work out and I have to say I feel pretty good :)
I'm a little frustrated because my nike+ sense didn't seem to be working right, but alas I ran anyway knowing i could just post something here and update it on my loseit app. Funny thing is technology doesn't seem to be working for me at all today in that the loseit app didn't actually update my Facebook as it should have...I guess what matters is that it's done and I'm ready to go about the rest of my day.
So this morning I ran just under an hour and was able to burn an additional 916 calories to start the day. This is awesome, but I really need to stick to eating smaller meals throughout the day versus three large meals and eating smarter in order to continue progress. Something seems to be working however, when I got on the scale yesterday I had lost almost 7 lbs since I last weight eight days before... Some may say this is too fast, but I've got some pounds to lose and I am certain that much of that was water weight and the progress will slow to a more normal pace.
Anyway, I'll take it... I am starting to notice some muscle growth in my arms too, but when all is said and done, I am feeling a lot better, my endurance is growing, and I'm excited about getting in to better health and shaping up.
That is all for now.. thanks for the support and kind words so many of you have shared. It really has been a great motivator to continue on this journey.
