They say that "A man with 2 watches never knows what time it is." Well, the same can be said for a man with two scales. I have three.
But, being the optimist that I am, I always choose the scale that gives me the best news. I've been weighing myself consistently at the gym and today it said 214!!! I'm very excited, but as I've mentioned before, nothing it "real' until is lasts 3 days or one weekend, which ever comes last, really.
I went for a great run this morning. No watch, no timer, no heart rate monitor, nothing to measure, judge, or rank me, just a run in the perfect weather and sunshine of a famously California day. It was one of those runs were it feels good even when you are tired, i did say, and don't mean "fast" it just felt good. Decent pace, a couple of long red lights for a water break, a cute mom out for a walk with her dog, and good music on my iTunes.
When I returned I ran into a friend, chatted for a bit, and then hit the locker room and stripped down.
When I got on the scale I smiled just a bit too much when it read, 214!!!
That gives me some motivation to be good as I leave for vacation for a long weekend. I've got my running shoes, gym clothes, and golf shoes packed. I'm ready to go. My goal is to be under 215 on Monday morning.
I think I can do it.

~MUAH!~
I kept to my promise on day one and went for a wonderful run. I went down the main street for a mile and then turned in to a new subdivision to go exploring. It went up and up and up and then I found a link into a dirt road which cut through to the next subdivision which connected me to a trail which ran up the canyon which connected to some orchards and then finally back down the mountain to the main road and back to my dad's house. 4 miles on the dot. A wonderful way to start the day.
And for dinner I had pizza and lasagna it it was delicious.
:-) Tomorrow is swimming, I think.
Thanks for your support
