My wife reminded me of that iconic line from The Devil Wears Prada recently (and by the way, who is NOT excited for the May 1 premier of the sequel!). My goal weight is 150-154 and it’s getting close.
This morning I did my weekly weigh in and left my house sneakers on and the number 158 appeared on my scale. It had been at least two years since I have seen the 150’s. I had some absolute life chaos (all work related) start in late 2023, and when you are someone who has turned to food for comfort your whole life, you … wait for it …. EAT.
My life chaos has not ended but I have been able to organize it logically and see a very clear end path, which has helped. These past five months or so have been a reset for my processing and the results show up on the scale at the gym and in my diet.
This weekend I am running the NYC United Half marathon. This is a hard race to get in. You generally go through a lottery system. I have entered the full NYC Marathon lottery every year since 2015 and only got in once. This year, my wife and I both entered the NYC United Half marathon lottery and in a stroke of luck we both got it.
So this weekend we will start in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, cross the Brooklyn Bridge and up the FDR eventually running thorough Times Square and into Central Park. Can’t wait!
