After two months weighing an average of 248 in May & June, I think we're seeing a breakthrough!  For July, my first weigh-in is 241.8 :)  I also have a new wallpaper for my laptop for all my weigh ins during the second half of 2015 so, for now there is only today's weigh-in.

For reference, here is a smaller version of my weight for the first 6 months of 2015

2015 Wallpaper 02 half - 2015

I'm often, if not always, looking ahead with hope :)  I have a couple specific goals for July 2015.  One, I'm looking at 100 miles worth of running training.  Two, I am looking for a 31 day running streak which, intimidates me a whole lot more than the 100 miles.  Three ...kind of as a byproduct of the running, I'll be completing my third full marathon in a 70 day time period on July 18th which will make me eligible for the Marathon Maniacs and also a Double Agent.  A Double Agent is a person who is a Marathon Maniac and a Half Fanatic :)

I'll have to keep today's blog entry short & sweet since I have to run back up to a local gym and get signed up so I can resume my karate training ...you know, the karate training that started way back in 1982 :)  My first karate promotion was May 5th of 1982 and my last promotion was October 18th of 2014.  I have one belt left between me and first degree black belt :D
