I was still off my pace a bit today, but I did manage 76 push ups. So that was nice. I expect that I will break 80 on Wednesday. I also weighed in at under 255 for the first time in nearly a month, so that was particularly nice. I really want to get back below 250 before Halloween. We'll see how that goes.

After such a good episode on Friday, Saturday morning's episode was a bit of a let down even with the guest appearance by Martha Jones. I don't have much to say about it, but let's get it out of the way.

Seventy five push ups today, can I get a "what what"? Also another personal best in distance covered during a fifty-five minute workout, so that's pretty dang cool. Also: it was a pretty dang good episode of Torchwood today.

After an off day yesterday, this morning I set another new record for distance in a 55 minute treadmill session. My weight is also continuing to move back in the right direction, so that's good. I've got six and a half weeks to get absolutely ripped for my next cabaret, and I am laser focused on getting there. Or, at least, as close to "there" as is possible. As for today's viewing? Well, it was certainly designed to put me off pizza...

Today I crossed 2,000 cumulative miles in this ridiculous project. So that's pretty cool. I also did 65 push ups, which means on Thursday I should do over 70, so I am well on my way to getting back up to 100 push ups in a session (this time without injuring my back). So that's also pretty cool. On the not-quite-as-cool side, exactly one year ago today I hit a cumulative 50 lbs of weight loss, whereas today... I hit a cumulative 50 lbs of weight loss. I am definitely moving back in the right direction, but it is more than a little frustrating to have spent pretty much all of 2018 oscillating back and forth between 245 and 255. It's almost like I am on a treadmill going nowhere...

This morning I managed to up my distance again, if only very slightly. The last time I went this far during a normal 55 minute workout was way back in February right at the peak of my weight loss. It was only a hundredth of a mile further than yesterday, but I'll tell you what -- I fought for that hundredth of a mile. Beast Mode engaged, indeed.

Today not only did I equal my previous workout's record for distance in 55 minutes, but I also upped my push ups from 52 to 56. I am in monster mode! Although, honestly, I have a costume I need to wear for my cabaret in just under two months, and I really need to look my best because it won't do me any favors. So... Beast Mode engage!

As I was watching today's episode of Torchwood I was trying to remember whether I thought it was a Cloverfield ripoff when it first aired. Turns out that movie didn't come out until a year later, so I guess Cloverfield is actually a Torchwood ripoff? Go figure.

Funny thing, the whole time I was doing my workout today I felt way off from how I did yesterday. Even so, I ended up taking more steps and going slightly further than I did yesterday. I vary my speed up and down during the workout, so I'm never really sure where it's going to end up until very near the end. So yeah, a good workout today. Also a moderately decent episode of Torchwood.

Today was an excellent day on the treadmill, clocking a further distance in a 55 minute workout than I have done since July. There is no question that since I completed Phase One of this ridiculous project, I have backslid some. I took a lot if days off in August, and I am only just starting to get back into a groove. So it's nice to be making progress again.
