Last year I decided to bring my weight down to 150, based on the rolling average calculated by the Hacker's Diet Online, and I set August 31, 2009 as the "target date" for that goal.
As of today I'm ever-so-slightly shy of my target - I'm at 150.6lb. For some strange reason, after losing nearly 40 pounds, it's the last half-pound that's giving me the most trouble. I'm not too worried about it, though - I'll just hit the target a week or two behind schedule.
That said, taking up running over the past month has helped accelerate my weight loss, and I'm feeling much better for it. For the first time in my life I'm able to run for an extended distance without getting out of breath.
It's brutally hot today (high of 29C) so I went for my run this morning while it was still relatively cool out. I've started week 5 of Couch-to-5k, which means that today's run was alternating between 5 minutes of running and 3 minutes of walking. By day 3 this week I'll be up to a 20-minute continuous run, which should be a pretty big accomplishment for a recovering couch potato such as myself...
