One Month Left of The Sky Fit Challenge. I've Lost 15 Pounds!

We are officially two thirds done with The Sky Fit Challenge with just one month to go!  At the moment my weight is 186 pounds, down 15 pounds from the start.  My body fat is 13.8% down 5%.  Feels really good and I cant wait to see where I’m at when this is over.

I had something really exciting happen this past weekend.  I was coming home from playing football for almost 3 hours with my buddies and I had forgotten to eat dinner.  In the past I would have been so excited.  That feeling of working out then being super hungry was something I was addicted to.  I would rush to my favorite takeout restaurants or the food bar at Whole Foods and stuff myself when I got home.  At this point it would be late at night and with a stomach full of food I wouldn’t go to bed till 2 or 3 in the morning.  But not this time.  As I drove away from football and thought about what I was going to eat the feeling never came, that love for food and dessert that comes over me like a high school kid seeing the girl he likes walking down the halls just didn’t happen.  Swear to god, that is how much I love food and want it when I’m hungry.  But that feeling didn’t come this time!  I’m not saying that because of this challenge I’ve lost my love of food, far from it.  What I’m saying is the addiction is going away, I’m starting to see food for what it is: fuel for the body not the way I used to see it as a sport or a hobby.

After working out on my own for almost 2 weeks it was great to be back with Rob.  We got back to our old schedule of 3 days a week with him and 3 days a week on my own.  Generally I take off Saturday and do my long run on Sunday. Everyone who runs has there favorite way.  There is the outside runners, the treadmills runners, the road runners, the trail runners and so on.  Then you have people who use Ipods, others who need TV’s or just plain old nothin’ but your thoughts, those people are machines in my opinion.  Me?  I like the combo of treadmill and TV.  Specifically my computer and Netflix instant player.  I can watch more crap movies and TV shown while running to the end of the earth (of course, in reality, I’m running in place in the corner of my living room).  But with those movies I’m lost in a world of Mad Max and Rambo or lately season 2 of Friday night lights. That show is like crack.

So, on to the final month!  Wish me luck.
