5K a Day Challenge Update

Ok, so it's now June 14th and just about halfway through my challenge.  I am about a mile behind where I should be for the month but I am still going strong.  I've been having issues with my legs hurting, mostly in the shins and my right knee so I started taking ibuprofen in the mornings and after my runs to take down the inflammation.  Not gonna lie, can't wait for this challenge to end so I can take a few days off and recuperate.

On a side note, my wife and I recently took new photos for our weight loss journey.  To be honest, she looks a hell of a lot better than I do.  The first set of pics we took looked like crap cause of lighting and a crappy camera.  She retook her pics with her iPhone and they came out great, maybe I need to do the same.  Unfortunately my measurements have not changed much over the past few months so I obviously need to change something up.  Most likely my diet.  I hate dieting.  I like food and I like to eat what I want but after a talk with my wife, I guess there is no getting around it.  I am going to have to cut out all the bad stuff.  So from now on I will be attempting to follow a more strict diet and see if I can get under 240 lbs and stay there.

Right now I am hovering around 240lbs.  My goal is to be around 225 lbs by the end of the year.  I will be experimenting with different regimens of weight lifting and cardio in order to lean down more without losing too much muscle mass.  Suggestions are welcome.  I will post another update about this in 2 weeks to keep myself accountable.
