Just got back from a run and it's absolutely FRIGID out there, especially with a strong and very cold wind coming off the Bay and blowing directly into my face.  It's been as cold as I can remember and I could even see my breath - that never happens when there's no fog!!  I just checked the weather and it's 10C right now.  With the wind, it was probably around 8 degrees!  In San Francisco!!!  Freezing!!!!!

Anyways, I'm starting to jog again.  This was actually my second session this week, after having run for the first time on Monday night.  It's been over eight months since I last ran, and sleep levels are way low with Cam now, so I figured I'd be dead after 10 minutes of running, but it turns out that it was not too bad.  My first run was a very solid 35 minute run and tonight I got in a 20 minute session.  I've actually started playing basketball once a week and I've been out to three basketball sessions so that's probably boosted my endurance level.

I realized that I never did post my final weigh-in from the original FatOff last August.  I don't quite remember the numbers, but I do remember that I neither gained nor lost weight from the original start weight so I that means I finished at 189 lbs.  I guess we all know where Cam gets his fattiness from.  :)

I'm starting up another FatOff.  Same as before, I'll see how much weight I can lose in two months.  Playing basketball again will definitely help as not only will it offer a source of physical activity but it will be motivation to keep running - running will increase my endurance which will let me get the most out of the two hours of basketball each week.

I weighed myself this past Sunday so I'll go with that as my starting weigh-in.

  • Initial weigh-in on Sunday March 16: 188lbs
  • Target weight: 180lbs

    • Yeah, that's not a lot of targeted weight loss, but based on my not-exactly-encouraging results from the original FatOff, I'm thinking losing a measly eight pounds will be quite the accomplishment for me.  Let's see how it goes, first weigh in this coming Sunday...


    Speaking of being fat, I just took a "How many cannibals could my body feed?" quiz.  Turns out I could be quite the buffet for some tribe out there.
    How many cannibals could your body feed?

    Hopefully I'll only be able to feed a Jon-and-Kate-sized family after my FatOff.
