Wed 1/9 - A run!

Cardio:

Ran 3.3 miles in about 32 mins with Sarah. 1st run in since Sep 20th.
Walked after the run for 45 mins.

Felt really good to get out for a run again, and Sarah was great company as always. Only goal was to not completely embarrass myself in front of a new friend :) Knees a little bothersome, but not too bad. I wore the Mueller brace I bought and think that might have helped a bit. I'm definitely in poor cardio shape but hope my knees can put up with a couple of runs a week and turn that around.

45-60 min walks the last couple of nights with Sarah have been great! Nice long talks with plenty of laughter. It's nice getting to know someone in the area and we seem to enjoy each others company. I like to think I'm helping her in some small way with our time together, keeping her company while we walk her dog, but I don't know if she understands how much she's helping me too. I'm grateful for the friendship.

Nutrition:
I weighed 180.4 this morning. Good nutrition day.

A little about my journey...

Hi, my name is Kip. On July 24th, 2011 I made a decision to change my life. At the time I weighed 250 pounds, was sedentary, my blood pressure was 170/110 and I was already on a max dose of BP medication to control it. I was well on my way to turning 40 and having a heart attack. This blog is about what I’m currently doing to improve my health and my journey to get my life and health back under control to get to where I am 9 months after starting (Apr 2012) - which is 170 lean pounds, no blood pressure meds and a new outlook on life.

I decided to start this blog for 2 reasons. First, it's a record where I can look back to see what’s working and what isn’t so I can make improvements. Second, a lot of people have asked me what I've done to transform my body, so hopefully it can help someone else glean some helpful information they can incorporate into their lives to make positive impactful changes. So, here it is. Since I'm just starting this blog 9 months in, I'll post a few blogs to recap in more detail where I was and how I got here. Going forward I'll be posting workouts and training/diet/nutrition information I think others can benefit from. I didn’t re-invent the wheel, so I’ll be referencing materials I use along the way. Below there's a picture taken shortly after a body fat test in May 2013.
