Slowly

Hi everybody, wednesday again!

How has my week been? Busy, I must admit. I've had two exams and I went for a jog every two days. The idea of running a competition is still alive and kicking, the only problem is that the original competition (the "Bollekesloop") was the weekend that I'll be in the Ardennes with some friends. Not a very realistic goal to come back to Antwerp, so I looked for another competition. That's how I found the Energizer Night Run (http://www.nightrun.be/) which is even closer to my house. My goal for the run is to finish in less than an hour. It's 9 km, so the tempo won't be too fast. The registration fee is already paid, so I can't change my mind anymore. This summer will all be about training for the run and of course studying too (august my friend, august), since I'm not going anywhere (except for the scouting camp).

It's a picture of the Engergizer Night Run of last year. It's in a park, and with everyone wearing those headlights, it somehow reminds me of some fairylike event through the woods. Which I will actually participate this year.










Then, the weight-loss... As the three points after the first sentence indicate, it hasn't been so great. I've lost 600 gr in a week (so my weight is at the moment 70.6) and it somehow frustrates me. I know the second phase is going slower than the first phase, but I just miss the fact that the weight-loss went so fast. Yes, I do realize it's not possible to keep losing weight that fast, but the very fast vs very slow weight-loss is just frustrating. On the other hand, it took me years to gain all these kgs, so why would they vanish in a couple of weeks? I'll say this to myself as a mantra: "Patience my dear, patience."

Well yes, I must admit this is one of my motivations for exercising and dieting as well. But hey, nothing wrong with a good motivation as long as it keeps you going! :)








Anyway guys (and girls of course), that's about it for this week. If anyone would like to run the Engerizer Night Run too, let me know!


And the reason why?
Changing. That's how the person I'm doing it for sees me.
