Gain!?! Oh teh noes! The end is nigh! REPENT!
At least I'm not stagnant at 192 anymore. This wasn't exactly the direction I was hoping for, but I saw it coming. When I was sick last week I didn't exercise and I ate a bunch of crappy food. I earned this pound fair and square, though I don't think I'll keep this prize for too long.
I finally got back into some sort of routine Monday. I had my karate class and some new peeps came in to watch/examine/stare during the workout to see if they wanted to join. At the moment I'm half of the students (everyone moved to Illinois), so I hope they join up. I need new people to kick me in the face. I did my first run since being sick yesterday afternoon. 3.5 miles in the OMFG-it's-so-hot-my-shoes-are-melting weather. I could feel my skin baking after the first two miles. And I actually volunteer for this stuff. Hell, I enjoy it.
My brain is tired. I've been crunching numbers for a long, LOOOOOOONG time. At least it feels that way. I decided I'm going to take a break from counting calories. I'm going to be trying some sort of half-assed (-arsed for you Brits) attempt at intuitive eating for the next week and see how it goes. Right now I would like to lose more weight, but it's not the most important diet/fitness goal I have right now. At the moment I'm focused on training for my half marathon. If I keep losing, great. If I don't, I can live with it... for now.
I ordered some new diet/fitness books last night. So soon I'll be reading...
Skinny Bastard - Rory Freedman & Kim Barnouin
Born to Run - Christopher McDougal
The Engine 2 Diet - Rip Esselstyn
I wanted Skinny Bastard and the Engine 2 Diet more for recipe purposes than anything else, but they should be interesting reads.

I want a copy of this to post on my fridge... close to the ice cream. Maybe then I would think twice.
