So I thought I’d log my weekly calories during the 6-week calorie burn challenge TrySports is hosting, that I first mentioned here. Week 1 results are here, and Week 2 is here, and Week 3 here. If you haven’t already, come out and do the challenge with us – all you need is a heart rate monitor and the ability to do a group run or walk at TrySports at least once a week (they do them Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:15.)
Still slow going. I am dying to get back out there! Patience, patience. My ankle was killing me after my run on Sunday – going to take it easy. Going to hike Mount Mitchell very soon and the last thing I want to do is ruin that opportunity!
Week 3
Wednesday: Cycling – 14 miles – 1 hour 12 minutes – 702 calories
Saturday: Running – 6.17 miles – 1 hour – 716 calories
Walking – .60 miles – 11 minutes 27 seconds – 49 calories
Total for week: 21 miles – 2 hours 23 minutes – 1467 calories
Total for challenge: 9212 calories (out of 10,000 for challenge)

I had the exact same problem. The day before Thanksgiving, my wife told me I looked like “A 32 year old man trying to look like a suburban hip-hop wannabe thug” because the butt of my jeans were near my hamstrings. She forced me out the day after Thanksgiving to go buy clothes that actually fit.
It’s been a little more than a month, and I’ve already lost another pants size. I’m looking very forward to seeing what it looks like when I create my own event horizon.
