The weight is still coming off. I normally weigh myself before and after each run. The "official" weight I try to record each Monday is the post workout run. It usually comes after an easy 3-5 mile run. I wrote about my sub 200 weigh-in a bit ago, and I'm very pleased with my progress. I have stepped on the scale under 200 lbs before most of my runs lately. My lowest post-run weight has reached 196.8 last week. I seem to have steadied around the 198 plateau. I'm still hoping to hit 190 by the end of this month.
While it is not easy balancing a diet with running longer distances, I really expect this effort to pay off down the road. I'm still battling mentally with a sub 4 hour marathon time; however, I expect to improve my fitness and training over the winter where the current struggle over a 9:09 minute mile will seem like a distant memory.
