Friday Weigh In...success.

Start: 198lbs

Last Week: 190lbs

Today: 185lbs

Well there's the proof, counting calories makes a difference. I know there are a few other variables that can have an affect (or effect? Eeee help.), but either way it's nice to finally make a move on the scale (in the right direction). I am happy with this weight. I don't think I want to make a move to 180lbs. When I was running a lot and not lifting at all I was about 175lbs. I don't think I need to be there. If it comes on it's own fine, but I want to eat at Bravo Burritos every once in awhile.

I have to admit that it was kind of fun counting calories in the beginning but now it has somewhat become a hinderance...to my eating! Sometimes I just want to grab a handful of this or that but think I would have to make sure to mark it down and decide to pass...too much work. I guess that is somewhat the idea.

I work at noon today so that usually means a 3 hour workout of some kind. I am a bit tired from the week so not too sure what I am going to do. I am leaning towards snowshoeing with Zoe.

Last night I stumbled upon this race: Chequamegon 100. It's a no entry fee, self supported ride/race in and on the 300 miles of trails of Chequamegon National Forest. Not knowing for sure if I would be able to commit to it I put my name in before it fills up...I'm in!!!! I have wanted a 100 mile endurance mtb race closer to home, the closest I found was in MI, some 11 hours away. I hope this works out for me.

Later...happy Friday.
