Diet Time

Time for me to go on a diet. The holidays are over, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentines Day. I put on my winter coat for the fall as well (the extra weight gained each winter), time to start taking it off, shedding the pounds and getting back in shape again and get ready for some more 5k's and Triathlons. I've been riding my bike to school occasionally, that's about 5 to 6 miles a day to school and back. I went to the gym for the first time in a couple weeks last night with Kira. I need to do some heavy lifting so I can beat my dad in arm wrestling. I need to start playing basketball on Wednesday nights again, and I need to run every night when I don't do something active. I think these last couple weeks nearly killed me eating all of the junk food and not doing anything. No more sugar or fat and more fiber and vegetables. I need to get back down to 180 lbs.

Right now I'm around 195 to 200. Which isn't too bad for me. I got all the way up to almost 215 my first year of law school, when Kira and I first got married. We made big dinners and desserts almost every night and made a whole bunch of pumpkin cookies and ate them all ourselves every couple weeks. We also ate out a lot more. When we started exercising again, it took a couple months before I felt like I was getting in shape.

I think I need to keep my dog in shape too. I haven't ran with her for about a month until I ran with her last night. Last time I ran with her we went about three miles and she wasn't even tired at the end. It was a walk in the park. This time, she was getting tired, I could tell. She's getting out of shape from sitting around the house all day. I've been too busy the last two weeks though to do anything, and Kira is pregnant so she can't do much active either, other than go on walks.

Was it a Blue-Bell ice cream diet you were planning on? We sure helped with that! hahaha You actually looked thinner than usual when we came out.
