Well today was a pretty good day. It seemed to work out pretty good this morning lifting. I think I will stay with it and see how it goes. I think the harder days will be my days off because I will have to go when I wake up and not screw around the house and talk myself out of going. That will be the key. It's easy to go after work because I am already close to the gym and awake. We will see how it goes. My sets went up to two sets of 15 reps. I had to cut back on some of my weight to get through the exercises but it feels pretty good so far. Not a lot of soreness yet. I hope that since I am going at it pretty regular that the soreness will stay away. I rode to work and I went for 5.76 miles and I burned 699 calories. I also ran tonight for 6.26 miles and I burned 1,265 calories. So you could say it was a pretty good fitness day for me. I just need to make this a habit and life will be good. Until next time...

Well I have been out of it for the past couple of days. Friday I had another session at the Dentist and it took me a couple days to bounce back. Monday I just didn't feel like doing anything so I didn't. Today I decided to crank it back up though. I am trying something new this week and if it works out then I will keep doing it. After I get off in the morning I head over to the gym and lift, then I sleep, then at night when the family goes to bed I run. It seemed to have worked out pretty well today so I hope to keep it up from now on. We will see how it goes. Tonight I pushed myself pretty good. I did 30 minutes of Intervals on the treadmill, then I went out to the track and did over 2 miles of bleachers, then I went back in to the treadmill and cooled down for 1.5 miles. All in all I got in 6.49 miles and I burned 1,349 calories. I didn't ride my bike to work yesterday but I will ride it tonight. I hope to get things on track and stay there finally. I weighed in yesterday and I am down 4 lbs. to 265 lbs. So I hope to keep that number dropping. Until next time...

Well today was a pretty good day even though I am super sore, but that is supposed to be expected after the week I am putting my body through. I hope that it pays off on Monday when I weigh in. I know this sounds funny but I need to take in more calories than I currently am because I don't want my body to go into starvation mode and not lose any weight. I will have to work on that in the coming weeks. It is a learning process right now. Plus I am trying to be better about eating every 2-3 hours. Today I rode my bike 5.38 miles & I ran 6.09 miles. I burned a total of 1,838 calories today. Not too shabby even though that number is probably a little eschewed because of the treadmill calories. But regardless I burned a lot of calories today. I just need to keep it going. Fit test is the 14th of July. That is scary!! Until next time...
