I know. I don't watch the scale that closely or give a second thought to day-to-day weight changes. It does tell me though that my weight now fluctuates just above 155.

j1r!!!

I'm subscribed. It's great that you started a journal for yourself. Good luck on your gains.

oh okay, I wasn't sure since you posted your weights after your workouts.

Yeah I just do that that because the only scale I access to is in the weight room. But thanks.

Today I got my ass up early so I could do shoulders before I left for Virginia. It was a really good workout. I did barbell push presses for the first time and I really liked them.

My Dad lives in a development here, and I saw a sign for a Turkey Trot tomorrow and I really want to do it. Hopefully I still can sign up and what-not.

So, happy thanksgiving, this morning I ran my first 5k road race. It was amazing. Being in a herd of over 3000 people was such a great feeling.

I ran a 24:48, which is pretty good. Compared to last year's results, I would be in the 33rd percentile overall, and the 50th percentile in the 15-18y.o age group.

I have decided to make this thanksgiving a normal diet day. Maybe I'll have some stuffing, but only if I can figure out a way to weigh how much I'm eating first.

I just don't have the desire to eat bad foods that I used to have anymore, which is good, except for when people make me feel bad. And, when my step-mom argues nutrition with me. To her fat-free half-n-half is healthier than regular milk. Despite the added corn syrup and sugar. Oy vey.

Great start to your journal man, keep up the excellent work. Also grats on the 5K run that was a pretty good time

bmx2962

Thanks. Yeah I know I was really happy. It could have been better, I wasn't prepared for having to pass a lot of people in the beginning.

Good workout and good 5K time.

I'm trying to do a 5K in january, but don't believe I'll be able to do it. The cold is really aggrivating the arthritis in my right knee. I'm defintely doing the 5K in June though.

bmx2962

Thanks.

It was super cold yesterday morning. When I started it was in the low 20s. Luckily though I live in Hoboken, and I've been running in cold weather like that for the last month so I was prepared. lol

I'm really into it now and I've been looking for races coming up. haha

A well deserved rest day.

So I worked out at the Pentagon today.

Long story short; my dad works for the DoD.

It was a really great workout. The bars their are definitely heavier than my home gym, but I still had good numbers.
