One week into Weight Watchers and I'm down 4.8 pounds.

Longest run today! My Time isn’t that great but I was on the struggle bus this entire run. I got lost and then had to run a million hills and my stomach was gross since I woke up this morning. It wasn’t very enjoyable but holy moley I feel great afterward and look at this view.

Meet: @vernificus I started trying to lose weight in Jan of 2015. I weighed 364 lbs. I'd ”tried” to lose weight before, but never really committed to it. I suffered from all the usual embarrassments and body image issues. Then I watched my dad have heart attacks and strokes and met my now wife and soon to be mother of my child. I started being serious about getting healthy in Oct of 2015. I meal prepped every Sunday and stuck to it. The weight flew off. That went really well until I hit all my goal weights. I started to slip some. I've gone up and down in weight, but I swear to never go back to what I was before. I'm down 128lbs as of this writing and plan to get down to at least 199lbs by the end of April. I hope seeing my journey shows people the truth behind weight loss and getting healthy. It isn't always pretty or positive, but it is a process. Starting tip: Be happy with where you are and make sure you have several goals in mind. This journey doesn't end. It just gets more interesting. Track every aspect of it. Food, exercise, time, everything. Don't cheat on yourself. If you eat 3000 calories in a meal, put it in your food tracker and move on. #wlstories . . .

I am a runner

You may not think so by looking at me, but I run.

I’m not fast and I don’t run for long; the most I’ve ever managed is 1.25 miles at a 6 mile per hour pace.  In fact, I’m sure there are purists out there just waiting to tell me that I’m not a true runner.  I don’t have the right form.  I don’t compete in races.  I’m not fast enough. I don’t run long enough.

But, I am a runner.  I run almost every day and some days I run farther and faster than others. Even on days I don’t run, I am still a runner because I know that on another day, I will run and I don’t have to listen to the purists who tell me I’m wrong.

In the month of June and the first part of July, I completed at least two miles every day. I committed myself to improving my time and distance and I felt strong.  Then, I came down with a stupid summer cold and had to take a week off. When I finally felt able to run again, I realized that I had lost a lot of ground; my overall pace was two minutes per mile slower than what it had been just the week before.  I was frustrated, but I recommitted and am working -- slowly -- back to where I was.

This made me think of summer break and my students.  How much they will have lost over the ten weeks they are not practicing their analysis and writing.  How frustrated and discouraged they will feel when they come back to school and cannot perform the skills that they finally mastered last year. That so many of them claim so staunchly that they are not good at school or at a particular subject because they don’t perform as well as their peers.

I will remind them that they are readers, writers, and mathematicians. There will be times where they struggle and don’t feel up to doing what we ask, but that doesn’t make them any less all of those things if they’re willing to work toward improving, just a little, every time they try.  There will be purists who claim that they are not readers, writers, or mathematicians because they’re not good enough, don’t do enough, or don’t study all of the aspects, read all of the books, or write novels.

But, they are readers.  They are writers.  All it takes is the belief that they can go just a little farther tomorrow and do just a little more than they did last week. There will be good weeks and bad, good days and bad; sometimes, we’ll be lucky to put one foot in front of the other. Together, we can finish this marathon.  We may not win first prize, but we’ll  finish strong and remember the distant starting line as we look forward to our next race.

When you see me tomorrow and I can't lift my arms above my shoulders, just know that I did some hard labor... And when Sagi says heavy plus... I don't back down. #icaniwillimust #hardlabor #workhard #liftheavy #livehappilyeverafter #fitteacher

Just went on my first mile walk since my surgery. It was very successful especially since I jogged 20 feet at the halfway point and the last 30 feet. This is the first time I have jogged in years.
