It’s the middle of the week, and I have drill in the National Guard coming up this weekend. That means a lot of work, long hours and honestly, a good time. I get to see a bunch of men and women I enjoy working with, and respect. They also motivate me to continue working hard to maintain my weight within regulations for my height.

This morning, I weighed myself (as is my daily practice) and I found that I had lost 3 lbs since Monday. This is a good thing, since Monday morning’s weigh-in was frightening. I’m at least headed back in the right direction, and sticking to the plan is giving me results. The bad news for me is that I will be unable to run tonight, tomorrow night, or Friday (and likely not at all this weekend, either) due to a very tight schedule. I might try to get to bed early tonight to wake up and run in the morning, but with the weather as it’s forecast to be, it’s unlikely.

However, there is good news in the consistency department: Sherry ordered a treadmill that arrives Saturday. That will take away my excuse of inclement weather. If it’s too hot, too cold, or raining outside, I’ll still be able to get a run in. I’m actually pretty happy about that; I want to get more consistent with my running.
