Friday, July 28, 2006Keeping track of the days - good motivation that gets betterI weighed in this morning and I'm down to 201. Maybe I'll break through the 200 mark this time. That would be nice. I would like to get down to 185. Supposedly for someone my height, I'm supposed to be 175. My wife doesn't think I can get down that low because I'm lifting weights every day. At this...

As part of that class, I took them through the exercises and I did the exercises with them. We worked legs, chest, triceps and abs. When I got home, I lifted weights. Worked my back today. I would really like to get... Sign in to see full entry.Tuesday, July 25, 2006Starting the counting overYesterday, we spent all day out of town. We got home around 1am and I was tired. I was doing everything I could to stay awake to drive the last few miles. When we got home, well, let me put it this way because many of you will be able to relate. I was so tired that I didn't check my email or blogit...

My goal for this week is to run more than 13.5 miles. I'm hoping to run 21 miles so that I'm on track to work up to 42 miles a week by January 1st. My goal is to make it up to 46 miles a...

Next mission is to increase the mileage. I ran 11 miles this week. The most I have run in a week since I began tracking is 13.5. My goal for this week is to run more than...

Running at night has worked out well for me. People probably think I'm crazy heading out the door at 1am but it works for me and my schedule. Tonight there was a nice breeze blowing. I...

I think I should be able to do it. Cutting the mileage in half has made it easier. It has been warm out even though I'm running around midnight. As I ran tonight, I thought about my goal of getting up to 6... Sign in to see full entry.How my new plan is going so farI decided to cut my goal mileage in half this week and just set the simple goal of going out running every night. I have made it 4 nights in a row now. I'm only running a mile and a half because it's just more important to get the pattern down for me. I am running up the hill so I think it's still...

I do one ab exercise every day, a different one each day of the week. I have been switching around trying to hit my abs from different angles. Today I know I did something yesterday that was new to my abs. Today,...

I came home, threw an extra blanket on the bed, and went to sleep. I managed to sleep okay but woke up early. I just laid in bed until Trey woke up. I will be spending most of the day on the couch. I got up... Sign in to see full entry. |
