I’m intrigued because while on front I’ve made zero progress, on another I’ve made tremendous progress. Due to the influence of Racing Weight, I’ve been very closely tracking my weight and body fat–daily, in fact, as well as running a “stress test” (my own term) on Sundays, currently a three mile time trial. When I […]
I’m trying to change things, hopefully for the better. Despite all of my accomplishments in 2010, there remains lots to work on. My biggest concern right now (beyond my usual concern of my blood sugar) is my body fat. Despite the weight I’ve lost, my body fat hovers near 30%, which is simply unacceptable (as […]
Goal two: Weight down to 165 from 180 (or so). Part of this is to try to win a friendly wager with a coworker, but part of this is because I really believe to get closer to peak performance, I need td lose weight. Yes, weight is not the end all–body fat percentage is more […]
So while I have lost weight since the Livestrong Challenge in Philadelphia, I’m convinced it’s not from running. Why? I’m incredibly hungry all the time and before I do a run, I absolutely have to eat. While I’ve not been a calorie counter–and I’ve had a lot of success losing weight without counting calories–I’ve been […]
I’m running. I’m not much of a fan of running, but I’ve been doing it more and more recently since the Honolulu Marathon is coming. This is not to say that the Honolulu Century Ride isn’t coming sooner–it is–but I’m more concerned with my running than my riding. I’m finding that the Garmin Forerunner 305 […]
I’m starting at ground zero. Well, kind of. It’s clear to me that I’ve done well with my training and diet up to this point–eighty pounds of weight doesn’t just come off–but it’s going to have to be more. So from here on out, this is again ground zero. I am currently working on research–I […]
My weight has been creeping back up. I haven’t been following it as well as I have in the past, but I know I’ve been down with a back injury a lot of the past week and even previous to then I was struggling with keeping my schedule the way I wanted it. So now […]
I’m disgusted with myself, but I realize the only way out of this is to get my act in order. My weight has been creeping up to the point I’m about seven pounds more than I’d like to be. I hold my going out to eat too often as the culprit. But it’s never too […]
A blog post on why endurance athletes don’t always lose weight was linked to on Twitter the other day, and while (1) it was more of a rant on some television show I’ve never seen and (2) I think that the logic of calories is flawed (I’m no less than a zillion percent convinced that […]
I believe I’m reaping the benefits of the training I’ve been doing. Being more consistent in my workouts (I have been blessed by better weather recently than I’ve had in a long long time) and following a program that seems to be working, I’m dropping pounds again for the first time in a long time–down […]
