I'm still eating right and dropped down to 174. Haven't been to the gym for the past 2 weeks because I have been working my ass off physically. Shoveling and wheel barreling multiple yards of decomposed granite and dirt tends to tighten the mid section pretty well. Picking. shoveling, and stacking boulders isn't a bad work out for arms, shoulders, and back muscles either,
Got in 35+ miles last week with a couple of days of weightlifting. One of my runs was a 15.1 miler in 2:22 not bad for a long slow run. This weeks mileage will be between 33-37 depending on if i step back and only run 13 or step up andrun 17. Already got 1 weightlifting session in and 1 bodyweight workout in this week too. Don't plan on getting off the wagon anytime soon!!
yup staying on the wagon here also. hell i got up an hour early this morning so i could go and run at the park then when i opened the garage it was pouring rain! but i was already all set to go so i grabbed a hooded sweater and went anyway. it was actually really fun and a nice change from the usual scorching sun.
still been steady weight lifting 4 days a week and I've started making my meals in advance for the week and just putting them in Tupperware to bring to work (makes it much easier to stay on track!)
"A daily routine built on GOOD HABITS is the difference that separates the most successful amongst us from everyone else" -Darren Hardy
Fess up guys, who's slid back into those old bad habits and why?
Did you bit off more than you can chew and not set up a work out program that is fun and sustainable?
Did you go back to an envrioment that entices you to engage in that bad habit?
Did you give up before your new good habit had a change to actually become a habit?
I broke down and bough a pizza......it was delicious and I cried while I ate it since i knew it was bad.....but seriously i changed 2 things portion size, and started packing a sensible lunch and dropped 12lbs in 3 weeks. trying to get to sub 200 and have 12 more to go. Glad to see others in the fight!
I just spent the past hour watching one of the most interesting and thought provoking documentaries on health living. It's a BBC production that was uploaded to youtube in its entirety.
Its all about the impact of various forms of fasting or even periodic calorie restriction can have on health, risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimers, etc.
I'd love to hear what others think so watch it
PS. Today is day 62 since I started using myfitnesspal and about 90 days since I got a pedometer. My goal was to increase my activity level on a general day to day basis without having to fit in a formal workout and to eat a bit healthier diet without swinging the pendulum so far it would be unsustainable. The first month with the Pedometer I didn't see any change in weight other than I stopped gaining weight. The past 62 days I've only failed to get some form of cardio exercise (most of it simply fast paced walking that gets my heart rate up) about 5 days.
In that time I've lost about 19 lbs and my waistline is much smaller by how lose my clothes are fitting. Belly fat = bad stuff so I'm pretty stoked.
Good to hear Chad, I'll have to watch the video when I get a chance. I hit my goal weight of 175 lbs on Wednesday myself. That's 20 lbs down this year. I'm in the best all around shape of my life. All you wanna be race car drivers better watch out. I've got less static weight and more ego than ever. ha ha

I headed out at 6 for a run and got pissed on a little. It was great.
