Captains log 05062013

Not too busy for a Monday.  A little site after my long run yesterday I found time to get a 4 mile walk in at Cook park here in Denver.  My new balance pedometer showed I got 8800 paces in before work called me to an outage.  2.5 feet per pace. 

Later I got to the gym for the first time in a couple weeks.  Walked for 30 mins on a sharp incline and then rode the recumbent bike for 4.5 miles.  Great day of a slow burn.

At the gym I did weigh myself.  Granted it was a late day weigh in instead of my normal first thing in the morning.  I weighed in at a light 242 lbs.  While the number has not changed since my last weigh in by much I had to remind myself that I was drinking several ounces of water while working out in the evening and throughout the day.  I would say that I feel like I'm back in the 230's.  My clothes fit like that too.  So I would put that as ~20lbs lost in ~ 60 days. 

That is half what I lost last time in the same period.  I feel that this is due to several factors, the biggest being that my muscle soreness this time reminds me that I am building lean muscle.  The scale is not going to change too much if I am doing this right and can say I am happy with the results.
