Weigh-In Wednesday: 2012 Reflection

Progress Pic side

It’s a blessing to make it to another year; this life changing journey amazes me every day. Sometimes I think about what have I done the past year and I just want to start hollering (In a good way of course). For those who don’t know I started my journey and this blog July 1, 2012. It has been merely six months from the day that I started; I knew my life was going to change but I didn’t know was how much. As I reflect on 2012, I’ve seen how far I came and pushed myself. From wanting to quit on Week 1, Day 1 of C25K to: running my first unofficial 5k, running my first official 5k, and my first 10k. From the first pound lost to 10, 20, and 30. All the way up to my first time weighing less than 300 lbs (I haven’t weighed less than 300 lbs since 2004). As I sit and think about it all a smile come upon my face and I say to myself “Wow Martinus you’ve pushed yourself in 2012.” Once I feel that sense of happiness the smile leaves my face, because I know I’m going to have to push myself twice or even three times as hard as I did in 2012. I’m going to need twice quadruple the determination, tenacity and motivation to get my goals accomplish (which I will discuss tomorrow.) I’ve celebrated, I’ve took breaks, I’ve enjoyed the holidays now it’s time to turn it up 20 notches and crush my goals!

Now to Weigh-in Wednesday **Please note! This will be the last Weigh-in Wednesday, from now on I will weigh in on Fridays**. The last time I weighed in it was on December 19, 2012 and I weighed 299.7 lbs. Let’s see what I weigh now….

Yes I gain a few pounds and I predicted that it would happen. However I’ve gotten a taste of being less than 300lbs. and that was the greatest feeling ever. I’m not going to worry about it because I’ll be back there in no time. Like I said earlier the break is over and it’s time to crush goals in 2013.

Running Mad!

Welcome Back to 300 Pounds and Running

Last night my girlfriend was pushing my buttons and I became irritated. I didn’t even argue with her I just went for a run. I left mainly to get out the house but my run ended up being very therapeutic.

Run Check In

300 pounds and running

I decided to take the momentum from my previous work out and run outside today. The birds were chirping and the bees were buzzing. Wait…. I think I’m dreaming! Finding it weird that I dreamt about running; I get out of the bed, put on my clothes and went for a run.

It’s all up hill from here!

it's all up hill from here, 300 pounds and running, loose weight, lose weight, how I loss weight, heavy runners, big runners,

I tried to switch it up with today’s run but it came back to bite me in the butt. I ran around my neighborhood because I wanted to see something different. I made a right turn where I usually make a left. Everything seemed to be going good with my run. Pandora was playing the right songs to keep me motivated. I was in the zone until I was thought to myself, “Gee, I’m still running downhill!”

Run Back Home!

Nike plus July 12,2012

I’m back from my mini-vacation in Detroit. I decide to take today’s workout to the treadmill in the club house of my apartment complex. My workout took forever to complete, I could feel myself slowing down on the treadmill my body wanting to stop while my mind telling me to keep going, I’m gasping for air. This is the battle I face every time I run. Eventually I hear “Workout complete!”

Running at the RAC

Nike Plus picture of Running at the Rac

Today I went to the RAC (Romulus Athletic Center) with my girlfriend’s father. It’s a local recreation center with tons of muscle heads walking around. The track is located above the gym, each lap equals 1/10 mile. As noted in my last entry running on flat land is amazing compared to the hills/mountains of Connecticut. My run started off pretty good then all of a sudden three walkers took up all of the lanes.
