Shockingly, I've got a positive update to share! :-) I've lost about four pounds in September. I typically struggle when I travel for work - the jet lag, the social events/drinking, disruption to my working out/sleeping schedule, and general fatigue when I return. However, this time, due to some stomach issues I'm trying to resolve, I've been avoiding dairy, as well as training for a half marathon. My half marathon training as been admittedly half assed, but I have been running more than usual.
We're heading to Hawaii around Thanksgiving, so I'd like to lose another four pounds. I need to up my strength training, continue with my diet changes, and keep up the running. After the half is done, I'd like to focus on the 3-5 mile run, consistently being able to run with no walking, even on hilly terrain
