Last Week.

Well I didn't get time to post workouts for last week because of the inspection that we had at work and putting in over time. It wasn't my typical workout week which seemed good since I was pretty sore all week. I decided to play on the intramural football team this year. Last Sunday was our first practice and it was a good time but I was pretty sore come Monday. Monday was a really rainy day so we didn't do our normal run outside. We ended up playing basketball for about an hour in the gym which was a good time. Wednesday we did cross training for PT in the morning which is always a good workout if you push yourself. Thursday I paced one of my troops during his PT test in the morning. I got in 3.25 miles. Friday was another football day and my legs are killing me from all the cutting, juking, etc. that goes along with playing football. It sure is different than running mile after mile. So it wasn't my typical workout week but at least I got in some exercise regardless. I will try to get in some more running now that we start playing games on Mondays and Wednesdays. Need to get serious about my workouts with my PT test coming up on 31 Jan. 2011. We are getting close now. I think I will start to add 50 push-ups/50 sit-ups when I get up in the morning and before I go to bed starting Monday (13 Dec). I think that will help come the end of January. Until next time...

Well another day in the books and I feel pretty good today. That's not to say that in the middle of my run I didn't want to quit and go home, but I didn't. I guess I am not even close to where I want to be cardio wise. I can't wait until I can run for the whole hour and feel like I want to keep going. I will get there eventually I just need to be patient. I am off to a good start. I got in 6.3 miles tonight. The next few days will be the challenging part because I am off and I need to motivate myself to get out the door and hit the street. I weighed in at 277.0 lbs. this morning so I am headed in the right direction. Until next time...

So I decided I was going to try something a little different this week. I am going to track my weight every day and see if that helps me watch what I am eating. I guess we will see how it works out. I weighed in this morning at 277.8 lbs. If it helps out I might make this a daily habit. It makes more sense to weigh every day so you can see if you are gaining or losing weight. I ran 6.3 miles today and it was a pretty good run. I just need to keep it going through out the week. The gym will be closed Wednesday night @ 2200 hrs. through Thanksgiving @ 2200 hrs. So it looks like Thanksgiving morning I will have to get my mileage out on the road. It's starting out to be a good week, but it's up to me to keep it going. JUST RUN. Until next time...

Well I was a slacker last week and only got in 3 days of running which isn't good. Plus my eating habits fell off when I wasn't working out. I wonder if the two have something to do with each other. Hhmmm.... Well I am out to do better this week. I got in 9 totals miles today. Three miles at PT this morning and 6 miles tonight after work. I am pretty sure I burned over a thousand calories. I weighed in at 280.6 lbs this morning which is disappointing because I gained a half pound. I WILL do better this week, my health depends on it. Until next time...

Well another rough run in the books. At least I got out there and did the run even though I truly didn't want to do a long run. I know it's going to be a tough first month but I will persevere and get back to where I want to be. Tonight I ran 6.27 miles and burned over a thousand calories. Sometimes we just need to fight through it and get it done. Until next time...

Well with my new job it doesn't seem that I have the time that I thought I would have. So with that said I think I have to give up my hour of lifting and just stick to my running. I would much rather run than lift if I had to choose between the two. I think I will always enjoy running much more than sitting in the gym lifting weights. I will start doing push-ups and sit-up in the morning when I wake up and before I go to bed. Plus I still have 3 days of PT that I do with the flight and we do strength training at each on of those sessions. Tonight I got in 6.3 miles and I burned over 1,000 calories. It was rough but it always is when starting over. Until next time...

Well it was a late day at work today so no work out after work. I did get in 3 miles at PT this morning so at least it was something. I weighed in at 280 lbs. this morning so at least I lost 2.6 lbs this week. I hope to do better this week but as long as I'm losing weight that is the goal. Until next time...
