$341 raised

If you are new to loseforthefuse.com please read the first post or pledge here.

Yes, again. 1 pound less again. I'm trying to convince myself that I must be building lots of muscle and that even 1 pound a week is something. But the psychology of the whole thing makes me want at least a week or two where I put up some big numbers. I guess if I only lose a pound a week for the next 41 weeks I'll still end up losing 68 pounds, so I'll just keep on going. If gradual weight loss is the goal then consider me Pele.

I do want to hoot a little bit about a first I accomplished this week. Just yesterday I ran a 5k. That's right, 5 Kilometers, in a row, at the same time. It took me about 41 minutes, but I did it. In case you are wanting some translation, a 5K is equal to about 3.11 miles. I also ran my fastest mile this morning, timing in at 11:23. I know these may seem like little things to you, but to me it's pretty amazing that my body is starting to do them.

As always, please pledge to help encourage me with the link at the top and one of these weeks I'm gonna throw an s on that lb and the world will rejoice.
