Well I am a little frustrated for a couple of reasons, first my Nike+ is giving me fits for my morning run. Normally my Nike+ is a little ahead of what the treadmill reads mileage wise, because of my stride on the treadmill I normally run a little farther than what the treadmill says. Well that wasn't the case today, I actually ran faster than I normally do because I wanted to get in a longer run this morning. When my Nike+ is working correctly it gives me a reminder every mile I run but for some reason I was half a mile off by the end of my first mile. When I checked to see what it was doing my speed was like a roller coaster so I don't know what was going on. On the treadmill it says I ran 7 miles but I barely got 6.1 on my Nike+. Since this is the first time it has happened with this sensor I will just have to keep an eye on it.
My second frustration is that I have hit my first weight plateau. It sucks but I think this is where I hit my first plateau in Kuwait also, right around 260. All I need to do is work through it and my weight should keep coming off. I think that now that it is June and that I run during work I am going to incorporate some weights into my schedule now. Once I get off work I will head to the gym and do a quick 45-60 minute workout. I think that will help the weight loss also. Now is a good time to start recording what I am eating also. That way I can start tracking how many calories I am actually taking in. My running totals for today were as follows: I ran 6.11 miles, burned 1230 calories, and I ran for 76 minutes. I weighed in at 262 today so I only lost one pound this week which I don't understand how that is possible but it is what it is. So in total I have lost 20 lbs. since I arrived here. Until next time...

You sure have some good totals. I think your running is coming along wonderfully. Don't you hate those plateaus, they suck. I did not run this weekend. My excuse Friday was Grandpa and Sat and Sun it is my allergies. I did get the lawns mowed and edged. Grass pollen is high and it wipes me out. I will try and get it together Monday. I did sign up for the Utah Valley Marathon on June 13th, had to. It will be my first marathon since turning 60 (still don't like that number). I think it would be worth your while to track you calories for awhile. The weights, light weights high reps. probably do you some good. You take care. love ya dad ps I read a few of my emails and they looked like a slow 6th grader had written them. I will try and read them before I hit send in the future.
Monday I ran for 70 minutes, went 6.12 miles and burned 1100 calories. Allergies are still bad but I sucked it up and went anyway, glad that I did. I lost 1 lb. last week. I have all my totals at work and I will let you know my monthly total Tuesday. love ya dad
Hi boy, hope you are doing as well as can be expected. It is nice that you have a month under your belt, I don't want to hurry the summer but I wished it was four for and your family. But truthfully I wished it was next May and were coming home for a month. I miss you a lot and it sounds like your weight loss is coming along nicely. Kathi is coming for a visit in two weeks and I can't wait to see her. She'll be here for four days. I will close for now. I love you my boy be safe and know you are in our prayers always. Your mom. P.S. I can't believe how tall Bella is getting.
