Broken!

The wall has come down! I have broken past the 270 wall at last!

Today, after my morning run I decided to weigh in on a whim. 269.5! Plus, I ran a mile faster than I have for a long while. Thanks to my wonderful wife. She splurged for my birthday and got me an iPod shuffle. It seems that when all I have to listen to are my heavy footfalls and wheezing breath, I only run so fast. Now with The Offspring and other such fast paced music I can be fast paced as well. I was a little confused when all of the singing nuns chimed in, but I put together a play list after the run to avoid the cast of Nunsense impeding my workout.

I think I may have also discovered a key to my personal nutrition. A big breakfast. The last two mornings I have been eating a big plate of bibimbap (a Korean dish consisting of lightly stir fried veggies over a bed of rice and a sunny-side-up fried egg on the top, delicious!) making sure I use a lot of cabbage (well, a lot to most mortals; cup, cup and a half at most). This keeps me tided over very well until supper, allowing me to have a lighter than light lunch to keep me going (like a banana or the like).

Of course, those of you in the know recognize a big breakfast, no lunch, moderate supper schedule. I probably could have figured it out sooner. I am happy I have it figured out at all...

Now, what is the new goal? Baby steps. Probably..... 250? Smaller? Ok, 260 but that is my final offer.
