Friday the 13th Weigh In

Today I faced the scary truth. I haven’t weighed myself in three weeks, before the wedding week actually. So here’s the scary truth part… up 3.4 lbs to 155. I would like to blame it on the wedding, on being sick and on having an insane job with lots of travel and stress. But really, I still make time to workout 6 days a week… why am I wasting all of the effort? Why do I weigh 10 lbs more than last summer when I only played soccer a couple of times a week and drank like a fish? I can only blame some of this on muscle gain!

There is a lot of motivation for me to get back to goal weight… the beautiful women I work out with, my skinny jeans, my skinny tops, and the biggest motivator… the marathon. I want to have a strong run and have fun while I’m at it. I want to be at 145 come marathon time… that is about 6 weeks away. 140 by the time I go home for Christmas. Tough goals… did I mention that I’m in Paris for work next week? The capital of food and drink? Jet lag, all day meetings, agency dinners, no sleep. But I can’t forget… is there a more beautiful place on earth to run? Two routes that keep me sane in Paris:

Notre Dame (5.5 miles)

Louvre (6.1 miles)

Baby steps right? Start right… have a plan for Paris. Yes, I will start with the Paris plan this weekend. Then I’ll go from there.
