I haven't been running much since around August. I dropped out of Headlands Hundred at mile 25 because I simply didn't feel like running that day. Since then I've ran just a handful of times. Right now running just isn't as appealing as it use to be.
In the meantime I have been playing and writing a lot of music and focusing a little more on Jiu Jitsu. We recently moved our gym from an industrial area to a new commercial area. It's an exciting move that is bringing in more students, and the little gym that I helped my friend Bernard start is growing into something larger than we expected.
Last week I got on the scale for the first time in a long time. I was a little surprised to see my weight at 205 pounds on Christmas day, and then at 209 pounds today on New Year's Day. My issue is that I really enjoy food, and I still eat like I'm running ultramarathons.
This is not a New Years Resolution to get back down to 185 pounds, and I was actually going to write this last week, but my laptop got damaged last week so I was unable to sit down and write anything. I don't like posting from my phone because I would rather compose my thoughts on a laptop or desktop computer.
My plan is to get back down to 185 pounds, not because it's a New Year, but because I feel healthier at that weight. I'm going to mainly cut back on soda and use portion control for my meals. My plan is to check in on here every Sunday and post about where my weight is and how my week has gone.
I plan on taking at another month off from running, so I'm going to have to really kick up my Jiu Jitsu and cross training Steel Club and Steel Mace workouts.
Hopefully next week I'm under 209 pounds.
