Just a really quick note as I run out the door. It appears that I am down a few pounds. I've no plans to celebrate by knocking over a Little Debbie's armored truck and consuming the proceeds. That would be bad.
Anyway, I'm going to work in pants that seem to fit a little better this morning. They are, ashamed to admit, the largest size I have ever worn...but they had started to get snug. Ok, tight. Ok, I couldn't wear them for a while because I couldn't fasten the button without fearing that the pressure would loosen the stitches that held the button and it would fly off at a speed large enough to injure someone. OK!?! There, I said it.
I've been watching what I eat but only seriously in terms of portions and maybe a little in not just grabbing something sugary when I am the slightest bit hungry.
Also, yesterday Jake couldn't go to the gym since he had a group to go to. I decided to go on my own. I know that sounds mundane to you but I haven't gone to the gym alone for decades. I think it's a good sign. He wants to keep me encouraged, but I want to keep myself encouraged too.
And, I would like to officially welcome one of Jake's friends to our band of marathoners. He heard what we were doing and decided to join in. He will be very motivating as well. (Of course he will, like Jake, need to take it down a whole series of notches if he wants to actually run with me) Any runners out there who can tell me if it is better to run with someone or if you should go at your own pace?
Ok, gotta go shape young minds into the geniuses of the future!

Go Your own pace. Unless you don't want to finish!
