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 [...]

Week 9 Summary

<—-Sample lunch during the week.
Week 9 was a so-so week. I did much better on my first trip than I did on this one. I didn’t get to do any spins on the trip, but I did one before I left on Monday. On Tuesday I ran, Wednesday I did the elliptical trainer and light [...]

Week 3 Progress Report

Week 3 is in the books so to speak. I can’t say that it was a grand success. It was great up until Friday, and even Friday was an ordinary OFF day with no major cheats in the diet. But the weekend was a disaster. I’m over it now though. Moving on.

I weigh the same: [...]

I Fell Off the Wagon!

Oh, what a weekend. If I were in AA, I’d be seeking a rehab clinic this morning. I probably shouldn’t joke about that, but it’s my best analogy for a weekend gone awry. I took Friday off from working out and recording my diet although I still had a pretty good diet day. It wasn’t [...]

Week 2 Progress Report

Well, I don’t have any exciting news to report. I did lose 1/2 lb. I guess that’s something. I’m pretty used to being at this weight, and for some reason I can’t seem to get past it. But I’m not going to worry about it. Below is my Calories Burned/Weight Chart for the first two [...]

Workout Stress

Working out is suppose to relieve stress, right? Not stress you out. Well, I’m stressed because I’m having a hard time trying to spin three times a week. Yes, it bothers me when I can’t figure stuff out and make it work. I thought I had it all figured out last week, but I [...]

Track Camp Day 2 in the Pines

Ran 3 miles easy with group 3 in the morning at track camp. It was a group of about 12 junior/high school runners. The youngest looked about 12. Most did fine keeping up with the leader, but three girls quickly fell behind. We stropped and circled back for them several times, but eventually most of [...]

Time to Get Back to Work

I had a great vacation from thinking about exercise. I missed it and worried a few times that I would gain back all my weight I’ve lost, but that didn’t really happen. I’m only a pound up, but I might be a bit dehydrated. It has been so hot here in Phoenix. If you’re not [...]
