Hello! So I ran my half marathon on June 1 coming in at 2:35:55. I accomplished two of my three goals in finishing the race and running the entire race. I didn't make it under 2:30:00, so that is the goal for my next half. With all of those hills in the final two miles, I had no energy left.
The month of June was awkward for me. Half tired from the half, focused on selling my car, and trying to regain my daily routine. I never made it below 190.0 lbs, but maintained 191 for quite awhile.
I managed to sell my car and just recently purchased a bike. So now I am a bike commuter which is pretty cool. I ran a 10k on July 4 coming in at 1:16 which was far slower than my first 6.2 miles during the half marathon just a month before. I didn't really train, to be honest - just relied on all the biking to keep me in shape. With the biking I have maintained my weight between 191 - 193. I just recently breached that over the holiday.
So right now, my friend is on another diet and I decided to support her. It is a diet to target belly fat before her birthday next week. She said she likes to diet because it makes her feel clean, so I am going to look at this as a cleanse then. Allow me to clean up my Fourth of July indulgences :-)

You can do it, you just have to refocused. You are doing great in the exercise department for sure, just be patient with yourself, it will catch up with you. Good luck on both you and your friends "diet."

Thank you! I have to say this is a literal diet. I don't think it can or should be maintained as a lifelong eating change. I don't like to diet. I like to lose weight organically through sustainable changes in eating and exercise. But, for her, I'll try this.
