Maintaining

Weight: 249 (0 change, -3 total)

I'm maintaining during this week of endless birthday parties and cake, so a zero weight change is okay with me. We've all been a little under the weather this week so my exercise has been low. On Friday though, I did go for a run with Kathy. It was the first time we ran together. She more or less left me in the dust as she's in better shape than me, but she was a good sport and ran at my much slower pace.

I know I seem to mention that I need to do better on every post, and that is true. This week though I am hoping to get the spark I need. I am meeting with a trainer on Tuesday evening to develop a workout/training plan for the Warrior Dash. This is a hard thing to do on my own. Yes, the blog is making me somewhat accountable for my actions, but paying for a trainer should also help me in that regard. I will not be meeting on a regular basis with him, but plan to check in every two or three weeks to monitor progress and measure specific goals. I am looking forward to getting started.

Today is the last of Ryan's birthday parties (just us on Tuesday, his school friends yesterday, family today). I'm starting to feel a little better, though I'm still having trouble breathing. I'm going to try to get either a jog or a good walk in some time today, and a more strenuous workout in tomorrow. I'll post on Wednesday, after I meet with the trainer.
