Weigh-in and second best is great!

Posted on June 23rd, 2008 by AndrewE

If you're new here, you may want to get my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! I couldn't do this without the help of my commenters!

I’m very pleased to be recording a loss this week as I haven’t exercised since Wednesday (except for my race yesterday) as I’ve been sick and I’ve been eating cookies and cake like nobody’s business (and they were gooood!).

And in some none scale victories I went shopping yesterday afternoon and bought pants and a shirt and they were both size “L”.  That is frigging amazing!  It wasn’t too long ago that I was a XXXXL.

Results from my race yesterday are in and I finished 2nd in my age group and 11th overall! It just goes to show that some regulars may be faster but they’re softer and allergic to rain. :)

    I loved watching the X’s drop off my clothing tags!

    Great job on the 5K finish. When I tackle my 5K in a couple weeks, I’ll be happy as long as I don’t finish last…

    I found out recently Andrew when I looked at your “before” photo in your “About Me” section — it is so inspiring to read about successful weight loss bloggers who have completed a large part of the journey already.

    Wow coming 2nd in your age group is fantastic!
    Must be a bit surreal now when you go shopping.

    Check out this bloke in the Wellington’s Harbour Capital Marathon also run on Sunday.

    “”It did chafe. It was comfortable until it rained.” The running gag, he said, was `Are you running late for a meeting?’”

    Chafing is not good. Owww.
