A sneak peek this morning had the scales at 166.4lb! Wow. That's four pounds lighter than Sunday. Naturally, my usual criteria applied. First thing in the morning, naked, after a poo and before food :-) Of course, it might not hold. So many variables can change things. But when I get a light weight, however "unofficial," it makes me feel good. It reinforces that I'm going in the right direction and encourages me.
I was about to say "good" to describe weight, but I changed my mind and wrote "light" instead. The latter is slightly more quantifiable, though still subjective. The former suggests that there is such a thing as a "bad" weight. I want to get away from that way of thinking. No judgmental words, no pejorative terms to refer to weight.
I had a short run this morning. I'm getting ever closer to my milestone time. Foe me, to be able to break thirty minutes for five kilometres is a big goal. And to do it consistently is my mecca. My PB at Parkrun was 28:45. That's a long time ago, and I haven't been anywhere near it for years. This morning I managed 33:39! I'm over the moon. My pace went below seven minutes per km for the first time in absolute yonks! I can smell a sub thirty 5k!
