Hanging Tough

Workouts are great, weight is staying at about 206, getting ready for an "end o the summer" push to ultimate shape, be watching for the upcoming stuff!!

All I can say is This is one tough workout!

So, stuck at 205 pounds still, but, haven't been dieting at all, so, not disappointed very much. I have been doing this one workout once per week and it is HARD!! Its an interval workout, 30 moves, each 1 minute long, each pretty easy, but here is how it goes: Running in place; 20 seconds nice and easy, 20 seconds medium speed and 20 seconds as hard as you can. Each exercise is done this way and among others, they include: Jump squats, Mary Catherine's, Squat jumping jacks, squat thrusts with a push ups and much more. For more info, check out my workout website in a week or so once I get it updated.

A goal almost met!

Alright, when I started my Fitness Quest I had a goal in mind, that goal changed about 2 months ago, but I did hit a milestone this week. After a great week of workouts, "OK" eating (over did it a few times) and tons of aerobic exercise, I hit my initial goal of 205 pounds. I changed my goal sometime in may to 195 pounds, but it still felt pretty good to hit the initial goal that seemed sooooo far off and sooooo impossible to hit at the beginning of the year when i weighed in at almost 260 pounds. Next big step is seeing a "1" on the scale when I step on it, that will really be something and I can't wait. Be watching for the next big mark being hit, and wish me luck.

Getting a little sore

Even after countless workouts I found a way to get really sore! On Saturday morning I was all inspired to workout. It was leg day and I felt really good. I have done this workout I don't know how many times. Anyhow, I changed it up a bit by doing every exercise with perfect form and until I couldn't do anymore reps. Deep squats, holding movements a little longer, etc. Sunday morning I woke up with sore legs, not bad, but sore, I was a little suprised. Yesterday my legs were so sore I could hardly walk! Talk about sore, geeze, not even sure what up with that, the workout must have worked well. Today, Tuesday, they are still sore but better, should even be able to go for a run tomorrow. Great workout, but paying the price, don't seem to heal up as quickly as I used to :)

a rough july so far

workouts have been great this past week, however, diet has been rough, with the seafood festival and cake for Anah and Stevens birthday on the first, the big BBQ party on the 4th, big work lunch on the 6th and Isaiah's sushi and burger party last night, I haven't been doing too well in the eating dept. Haven't gained, but haven't lost anything, but, no harm, no foul. Next week should go much better. Micah will be at camp all week, we have a busy schedule and a new workout rotation. Will get lots of exercise this weekend with fun and work, looking forward to hitting the next mark and moving forward!!

Weekly Update

After a week of various activities from running to hiking, skateboarding to kayaking, the new workouts have begun. Over the past week I have layed off the weights and increased calories to let my body heal, and heal it has, ready for the new run of workouts. Weight is staying at a good 210 but ready for the next 10 pound drop. Updates on the tough workouts coming soon, wish me luck and have a great day!

Happy 4th of July Weekend

I am on a little vacation this week from work, enjoying family and enjoying my time away from the stress of work. Went for a great run yesterday morning, went skateboarding (bruised my behind in a fall however) then did a great morning workout. Seem to be stuck at 209 pounds but I haven't really been eating too good this week, with the kids birthday, holiday bbq's and all, but am maintaining. Also, beginning next week is a month long intense training session so I am enjoying the time off. Hope everyone is having a great 4th of july and see ya all soon!!!
