AF Biggest Loser/Fitness Challenge-May 3 to Whenever We're Not Fat Anymore

[OakTree500]

Injury is/was minor (I hope). Just a strain on my ankle from pushing myself to-hard-to-soon, again I think. Right now I'm all good, after some time off/lighter running, but I can do 2-3 mile now without it killing me, which is nice

I have around 2 weeks left before my 10K so hoping I can get in some quality runs before then.

Pray for me for I have not mounted a scale or gone to a gym for more than a week now and have eaten breakfast at Big Bear diners three times in that interval.  (There is a reason that bear is so big.)  We went to dinner last night at the Oregon Garden resort's restaurant.  We split the seafood linguine and a seasonal salad before also splitting the (fucking huge) brownie with ice cream and caramel sauce.  I could barely move afterwords.  I sure would like to be near 190 by the time I get home.  I may faint if I'm over 200.

Black Bear Diner? Jesus christ, their chicken fried steak will feed a family.

Amazingly, I finally got on our scale last night, after dinner and a shower and weighed just exactly 190.  I did go to the Y in the morning.  But still .. three trips to that place and no weight gain?  Holy cow.

I haven't hiked or climbed in over an year now... (except for one super easy monsoon trek with a horde of 40 sophomores as my responsibility... that sucked lmao). I literally can't wait to get back out there next year.
And I haven't worked out or ran since April.... 2018 really has been the worst year of my life so far

It is so much easier to maintain fitness than to get it back, especially when you get much older. Life gets demanding and busy when you're young. But if you can find time for it, your older self will thank you.

As you may remember. I don't have a scale. So I can't measure my weight loss since roughly a year and a half ago.
But here's another way of measuring, by added belt-holes.

Starting renovations was about a year and a half ago.
Starting biking to and from work, about three months ago. (30kilometers to work, 30 back)

I might need a new belt.
Also, epic paint skillz, I has dem.

Measurement time -

Weight 280.4 (368 in Feb 2016)
Neck 18" (19" in Mar 2018)
Waist 49.5" (52" in Mar 2018)
Hips 47" (54" in Mar 2018)

I hit the weight on my driver's license today (from Mar 2015, which was a big fat lie then, it was probably from 2005 when I got my WA license). I probably haven't been this weight since the mid 2000's.

Nice job! Very impressive.

Did my 10K over the weekend! Finished in 1 hour, 2 minutes and 53 seconds

Raised around £240 (so far) for charity and all that. Will post some pics at some point this week. Going to have a week off from running now though. Rest time after some 18 weeks of training for it

I just got final clearance for vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I should be able to have it done before the end of the year.

I'm at 272, my lowest weight in a lot of years. 96 total pounds lost.
