I'm making the decision to improve my health starting today. I don't believe that my golf game is being negatively affected in a major way necessarily. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life and I cannot continue down this path any longer. This is all about me being able to live a long healthy life for my family. TheGauntlet is my driving force over the next 90 days and that will be the perfect jumping off point to get this train rolling.
Tappin' from my Samsung Note 3
Curious if my knees can handle running so I did three miles after dinner. So far so good.
I knew Hawk was working hard but seeing it in person was impressive. Time for me to turn it up another notch for the final push.
I am seriously so mad that I am sick. I do not want to fall out of this great routine I have going on. I am thinking about doing yoga anyhow. I think T25 might be too intense for my energy level, but yoga shouldn't be bad. I just want to make sure I keep up these good habits. I know I haven't had a ton of progress yet, but I have lost 6lbs and I put on a pair of shorts that previously were too tight on my thighs. Sadly they were my old 'fat' clothes, but hey, it's still progress.

I am so out of it now in a good way. If it wasn't close to bedtime I would totes take a nap.
if your knees don't hurt you are doing it right. Try keeping your weight forward and land on your midfoot as opposed to heel toe. It allows the soft tissue to take the brunt rather than your bones and joints. Plus its more efficient.Ran three miles. I am surprisingly sore in my quads, calves, and glutes. Maybe using different muscles? I just assumed that the biking would make running a breeze, but I guess not. Knees don't hurt though.
Switching to new programs is great. A change can really lead to quick gains.I'm absolutely lost with Crossfit Acronyms and WODs. Congratulations on a good workout anyhow.
Today was my first day of switching from a 4 day split to a 3 day push/pull/legs split. Felt like the workout was really effective and should start bringing on some new gains. I'm excited.

Awesome. Some people can get a bit crazy with the against the grain nature of the forefoot running philosophy and that you need minimalist shoes but i have done perfectly fine with regular shoes. I just like to pretend that I am falling forward and my feel keep churning to catch myself. Keep up the awesome work.I actually did a little reading before starting up again and that is exactly what I'm doing. I was pretty flat footed/slappy when I used to run a lot, which probably explains the problems I had. Now to just get the muscles used to it and I'll be fine. I'm going to rest them today and hopefully get back at it tomorrow. I like that it appears I'm getting a bigger calorie burn with the running and god knows I needed a change of pace. I've been pedaling a bike for 6 months now and am just about over it.

It's tough. I would say that if you at least keep your weight flat until you are better that would be progress because your body will hold on to everything to help heal itself. Sometimes no news (in this case loss) is good news.
I have noticed on my journey that just as important as losing weight when things are good is avoiding blowups when things aren't. Have you tightened your diet up extra during this time to compensate?
I have stuck to the diet during this, except for some added honey that has gone in my tea to help with my throat. My weight hasn't changed at all. Fortunately, I only missed one day of working out, because I am about go to work out right now. I am feeling a lot better today. I still have a really sore throat, but I can at least speak again, and swallow, so I figure there is no excuse not to sweat too.
JB may have just been trying to be nice (you know, do the good husband thing) but he said yesterday that he can see a noticeable difference in my weight. Whether he was lying or not, it was really nice to hear and I plan to use it as motivation to keep going!
