My weight hasn’t been up consistently, but it’s not going down either. On the other hand, my body fat has been going down a bit. I want both to go down. My body weight was up markedly today–an anomaly to be sure, but anomalies are recorded–to 184.4 pounds, the most by far since I started […]
I can work out, work out, and work out. At most, it’s only half of what keeps me healthy. The other half is diet. Diet is where I often fail. Part of the issue is simple: I have to eat. And while I make a lot of efforts to eat healthily (what is healthy is […]
Every so often, instead of a Sunday run, I go on a Sunday hike, this past week to Kuliou’ou with a bunch of my Twitter friends. It’s a nice change of pace. I’m just not sure how to count that on my workout schedule. Is it the same as a run, hour for hour? Less? […]
I’m grateful for the days off. It’s a much needed few days off from work which can be really helpful in getting caught up on so many things, including coding projects, work for my part time job, cleaning house, and cleaning the truck. And a little bit for working out. My back is mostly better–it’s […]
I went for a group run on Thursday night; while I have had a training partner at work when Twitterless E was stationed temporarily where I am, since she’s left I’ve been training alone, which I almost always did before she came. But on Thursday I met up with a few of my Twitter friends […]
I’m still not a fan of running. I don’t think I ever will be, even if I’m doing it better than I ever have before. But I will say this: running is likely helping to save my life. There’s no more time efficient and cost efficient aerobic exercise for me than running. Putting in half […]
I’ve been missing some workouts recently. The weather is one of the things I blame, and my crazy schedule is another, but all those are are reasons I don’t get done what I need to get done. What I need to do is make up those times. When I miss an hour ride, it’s not […]
There’s no question that I can manage my stress better when I’m working out. The pain between my shoulders lessens considerably when I’m on the bike, in my running shoes, in the pool, or on the weight bench. When I’m not doing those things, it takes me days to just get to the point where […]
I’m stiff and sore, but not from working out. In fact, working out is helping; it’s just the usual stress and strain of being a social worker that’s getting me this go around. It is many times one of the more difficult jobs in the world. In addition, between working two jobs, maintaining three blogs, […]
If fitness is a ladder, the last few weeks I’ve been going down. The combination of a few days of travel, some social obligations, an unexpected weekend work day, and a week of being on call really contributed to this. But the person responsible is still the guy in the mirror. What’s important right now […]
