A better week this week

21 Dec

I have actually worked out everyday this week in some form.  I went to the gym on Monday and Wednesday where I ran and lifted weights.  Tuesday and Thursday, I rode on my trainer in my basement.  Hopefully I can make it to the Gym tomorrow and then a long ride on the trainer Saturday [...]

The Week of Excuses

13 Dec

Let’s see, Saturday I worked from 3:45 am to 10:30 pm.  Sunday I needed to rest from Friday.  Monday I started on-call duty.  Tuesday I was up late with an issue from Monday.  Wednesday I had stayed up late because I was goofing around Tuesday night.  So I decided I needed to get back to [...]

Friday, And I even worked out.

08 Dec

Five days in a row.  I have made it all the way to Friday and have worked out all 5 days.  WooHoo!  Today I ran on the Treadmill for 5 minutes at 6.5 mph.  I also did a 32 minute Lower Body strength training workout.  I feel good except that I weighed in at 250 [...]

It’s Thursday and I am still going

07 Dec

This is the farthest I have made it into the week with consecutive workouts in over 2 months.  This morning I rode on my trainer to the CTS Mountain Bike Racing video.  It is a good workout but it is also a sign of how far I have fallen off even in the last couple [...]

Day 3 - Still Going

I made it to the Gym today for 5 minutes of running on the treadmill with a 3 minute cool down and an upper body strength training workout.  I feel pretty good and I feel like I did something right because it kind of hurts to type :-).
For the numbers geeks,  I covered 0.7 miles [...]

Part 1 Complete

04 Dec

Well I made it to the gym today and and actually managed to run for 5 minutes (which is a lot when you haven’t run for years) and did a lower body workout.  I weighed in at 249 today which is significantly more than the 230 I was at this time last year, but still [...]

The Will to Start

04 Dec

Today is a vacation day from work.  My wife is doing a big Christmas shopping outing with her friend, so I will be taking my daughter to school and then heading to the gym to work out.  I have my gym bag packed and ready to go.  The alarm clocks have started going off and [...]

Starting over again

03 Dec
