Week 11 Progress Report

I changed my profile picture on Traineo today. I guess I was tired of looking at my fat belly on there. For motivation when I started a year ago using Traineo, I uploaded a picture of my belly.
I took this shot a few months after my gynecologist sliced me up to rid me of a [...]

Week 11 Goals & Progress Report

I’ll keep this short and sweet. I need to stretch everyday and run. I’m also going to try to spin 5 days this week. Eat more salads and fruit these last two weeks. That’s it!
Here is my stat sheet for the first 10 weeks of the challenge. It’s interesting so see the patterns, but more [...]

Triathlon Preparation

Well, I’ll admit right up front that I really don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to training or doing a triathlon. With that said, my third triathlon is coming up tomorrow. Yep. Saturday. Other than doing something, exercise wise, every day for the past 10 weeks, I’ve really not prepared. By default because [...]

Moving On to Week 4

I’ve got to run more. I just know it. I just can’t motivate myself to do it though. It’s so hard, and I have a serious mind block about doing something I used to be so good at, but now I suck at. I just know that if I can run some distance, I can [...]

Week 3 The Journey Continues

I like the look of that. 4754 calories burned. Pretty awesome. We’ll see if I can beat that this week. I know I can if I can get my weight lifting in and my second run. So my goals for this week will focus on that.
Week 3 Goals:

Do all three weight workouts
Run twice for 30 [...]

Daily Calorie Requirements

I’m not sure how or when I came up with this figure, but I’ve been trying to maintain a 1500 calorie diet when I’m in serious training mode. Often I find it difficult to eat enough to meet this requirement. So as the first step in our Foothills Revolution Beat the Eat 12 Week Body [...]

One Mile is Better than NO Miles, Right?

Well, I happen to think so. lol. I actually ran 1.56 miles. Why bother? I was thinking the same thing, but it was getting late, 9pm, and I was feeling guilty. So I did it for my sanity. I just had to run, even if it was only 1.56 miles. I’m glad I did, because [...]

Only 74 Miles to Go!

Okay, so I’m already a little behind on my goal to run 80 miles in 8 weeks. Here’s a shot of my progress from the Nike+ website. I love this website even though it really doesn’t have many features. It’s very simplistic.
I’m just 2.5 miles behind. I can make that up tomorrow.
Tonight I ran [...]

Goal Setting an Important Step in Weight Loss

Most of us understand the importance of setting goals, but there is a science behind setting goals and achieving them. The first mistake is going right for the big picture, like “I want to lose 10 lbs.” That’s a good goal, but it doesn’t focus on the behaviors that will help you achieve this goal. [...]
