Moving my butt...

I'm determined to get into shape and that shape no longer is round. Last week's physical challenge was a daily 2 mile run. Mission accomplished. I'm traveling this week. My husband and I are headed back east, first to Mom's, then onto a family wedding. With the trip, my time and gym access will be limited and still I'm opting for at least three 5K runs. The first I got out of the way this evening. I'll shoot for the second mañana before we leave for SFO, and I'll have gym access again at the hotel Saturday next. Friday, my husband & I are going to drive into NYC to meet my sister and a bike ride is planned on city bike paths in Manhattan.

I've been plateaued for roughly a month and not liking it one bit. I'm tired of being obese. Really tired of it. I want to be able to blend into the crowd, not constitute one. (Yeah right. Blend into the crowd. A large man with a full red beard and long red hair. I may have to rethink this desire to blend in.)

Sometimes I think, how can I have lost so much weight and still be so damn fat? I am also beginning to realize that a not-insignificant part of the weight I have lost has been muscle, and so I am now developing the habit of exercise---something I have always disliked. But I have to do it. It is as much a part of this journey that I am on as eating. One thing that is working for me is something I applied to my diet: I don't want to lose even one inch of the ground that I have gained. So I keep at it.
