I have often welcomed those who have lost 100+ lbs (~ 50 kg , ~7 stone) to “the club” and joked that club meetings were on Thursdays. I recently suggested that we try out having a regular weekly thread to talk about issues that are particular to those who have lost 100+ lbs, those who are well on their way and those who are just at the beginning of a journey this big.
Welcome back to the Century Club! Each week I will provide a topic of the day that has been on my mind or inspired by previous posts. However you are free to talk about any topics you think might be relevant to current and prospective club members.
Previous Topics: Uniqueness - Aesthetics - Resetting Goals - Routine Breaks - Metrics - Starting - Dog Days of Summer -"Bad" Days - Labels - Aches and Pains - Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes... - Accountability - Elevator Pitches - (Half-)Marathon Training - Celebrations - Water Weight - Comments - Travel - Disconnects - Activity - Years! - Fun! - Rhythms - How strict? - Relationships - Loose Skin Redux - Multiple Centuries - April Fools! - What didn't work? - Milestones - Seasonal changes - Is it worth it? - Surprising Food Facts - Mistakes were made - Time to Vent - Relief Valves - Seeing Objectively - Tips you hate - Fear and Self-Loathing - Starting - 2020 recap
What keeps you going?
This past Monday, tens of thousands of people came to Boston to participate in the 125th running of the Boston Marathon. I spent most of the day taking a half-marathon length walk around town between miles 23 and 27 (the bars and restaurants beyond the finish line).
My thoughts as I saw the elite runners complete the course in about as long as it took me to run half the distance I ran a few weeks ago all while making it look easy and the less elite runners coming in closer to 3-4 hours. The sheer determination in their eyes as they struggle to keep on going.
I swear this will be my last post linking weight loss to long distance running this year. Lol.
So what about you Centurion? What helps you keep going?
