Well I have been nursing a bad knee for a few months now and have turned my training runs into training walks.  I have done pretty good with my diet, not great but I am shooting for long term results and trying to get to gung ho to fast like I have done in the past and put the weight back on, but today I got some inspiring news.  I had to go to the doctor today and I have lost 20 lbs, slowly but surely it’s working. 

 

Changing my lifestyle is the main goal and with some very small but effective I have been sticking to it.  I will be celebrating one year with out drinking a soft drink, I started using Stevia (a sugar substitute) in tea and coffee, and about three months ago I read Morgan Spurlock’s, “Don’t Eat this Book” and I have sworn off fast food.  I always knew it was horrible for you but that was the push I needed to refocus towards “slow food”.

 

So, even though my training has been a bit interrupted, my eye is till on the prize, and that is what it will take to eventually realize my goal…….IRON.
