Week Four, Day One

Great Day, ate well, exercised hard, got my 30 min's running, lasted very well and enjoyed the time listening to tunes. Haven't lost any weight, still at 247 but down four pounds, this should be a great week in the fitness zone. I also found a great online zone to track my Triathlon Training, which is pretty cool, the big push won't start until Feb. 15th, the day after we get back from Portland.

Its a New Day

After a good day of COLD skiing and a re-assessment of my goals, its a NEW DAY in the fitness arena for me, its one thing to decide to make a change, its quite another to follow through. Staying focused with my eyes on the prize, make it all worth while. More energy and fitness for better skiing, a higher quality summer and better health. Can't ask much more for a few minutes each day!

Tough Week

After a great week last week and a wonderful weekend of skiing, I dropped the ball a little this week, refocus time and killer week three, didn't completely fall off the fitness wagon, made two runs, missed one, did one resistance workout, missed one, got too busy with everything, stayed up too late and didn't make the right decisions in diet. Watch for next week!

Week 2, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

I was staying up too late last week and my workouts suffered. Next week, early to bed, early to rise. My workouts felt weak due to being tired but, I made the resistance workout on Thursday and the Run on Friday, however, on Saturday, i had a whole day of skiing, skiied countless runs and was able to do so nicely, first day of the year, i suffered trying to get 4 or 5 runs, yesterday I hit at least a dozen runs and did them nicely. What a great day!

Week 2, Mon,Tues, and Wed

I missed my daily update for a few days but didn't miss my workouts! I had a great workout on Monday morning, great run, 30 minutes level 3; good workout on Tuesday, did my 2x10 pull ups; 2x20 squats and pushups and 2x25 crunches. Wednesday, although rather tired, i managed to do my 30 minutes level 3, not as strong as monday but still good. I also weighed in on Monday, current weight was 249, down three pounds, lots to go, but making headway.

Week 1, Friday

Made it through the first week of workouts, this morning at 5am i did 30 minutes on the treadmill on level 3, nice run/walk and its starting to feel good. My diet suffered a little today and i need to focus on that next week, all in all, a good first week of workouts. Next week the goal is to get the diet in check in order to begin the great weight loss. I am also going to schedule a "total body cleanse" in the near future.

Week 1, Thursday

Strength workout today: 2x10 Pull ups; 2x20 Wall squats; 2x20 Push ups, 2x25 crunches. Good workout! Diet was OK, but I need to keep working on it, had a banana, jamacian pork sandwiches, 1 piece of pizza and a bowl of Spicy Chineese noodles with Chicken and Onions. Pretty good but I was a little light on veggies so i ate a bunch of raw carrots. I also got in my Martial Arts practice done.

Week 1, Wednesday

5am Run, 30 Minutes, Level 3, good run, a little sore, a little tough, but good. Food today was Chef Salad, Super Green Drink, 2-Bean Burritos, Pasta with Chicken, Brocholli and Alphredo Sauce. Good day all around.

First Week, Tuesday Post

Well, busy day for sure, however, I managed to get up and workout, did the Strength workout at 5am this morning(2x10 pull ups; 2x20 push ups; 2x20 wall squats and 2x25 swiss crunches), got a bunch done around the home, went to work, Game Stop, Costco and Smiths to get the supplies for the month, home by 8pm, Workout was great, day was great but maybe too busy! Diet was OK, but ate a little too much pizza for dinner.

Official Day One

Well, today was the official day one of the 2009 Fitness quest. It went rather well, I did my 30 minutes of jogging/walking, worked up a good sweat, maybe ate a little much for lunch but controlled my dinner. Official start day weight is 252 pounds, 7 more than i thought I weighed, so its a good thing I am starting! Did study 10 Martial Arts lessons, Day one Complete and, a success.

Daily update

Well, fitness is going well, today I spent most of the day Skiing, what a super workout, and what a blast, Micah and I tore up the slopes, tons of new snow, sunshine, couldn't have asked for a better day! Hey, this fitness thing is kind of fun!

The workout starts!

Well, yesterday, Jan 1st I went through the initial workout of phase 1 without too much hurt, this morning, 5am, hit the treadmill for aerobics, it was a little harder, but made my 30 minutes of jogging and walking. Weight is 246 lbs. Good starting point, know where I need to go! All in all, a good workout.

Happy New Years, let the suffering begin!

Its 2009 and I am motivated to succeed in this plan, have Isaiah and Micah on board to try to get ready for the Triathlon in June, Isaiah has the shortest trip since he is in pretty good shape to start with, Monday all the work kicks off, so i will be a little sore and tired for a few weeks, the pay-off will be great, wish me luck, will be posting daily beginning the 5th.
