Quick update

Had a setback last week with Drew being sick. Couldn't go to the gym. I also got a little stressed out about Scarlett's little ER visit, so I sort of fell off the wagon with the diet. But, I didn't gain any weight back and still managed to lose some since the last time I reported. I am at a total of 13 lbs. lost. Need to get back on the 3 hour diet wagon.

I never did post about my workout a couple of weeks ago where I ran 3 miles on the treadmill in 30 minutes. All while Mary was threatening that if I quit, I'd have to run another mile. I've never run 3 miles in my life!

Ran a mile today with intermittent cardio work. Then did upper body. I'll be hurting, since I didn't make it to the gym last week. Gotta get motivated again. Ryan and I are going to go out this weekend probably to Ruth's Chris steakhouse, so I need to be good this week...

I am still in it to win it!!!

Weighed in at 179 this morning.

Ran 4.25 miles at 7 per mile pace yesterday, I am getting stronger and leaner every week. I have back off the cardio a little. I am doing weights 3 days a week and will only do 3o minutes cardio on those days. I will do an hour of cardio when not lifting.

Yall keep it going!! How is Mom doing??

Sneaking Up On You!

The Eye of the Tiger - thats what I've got, and I'm sneaking up on ya'll!

I was a little disappointed when I weighted in this past Monday, because I had only lost 2 lbs last week. So, what did I do, I backed up and put my head down and broke right through that brick wall. Can you? Break through that brick wall, that is?

Here is how you do it. Go from 1 hr of aerobic to an 1 1/2 hr of aerobic, from 1000 cal burn to 1300.

LOOK OUT: When we hit the 30 days out mark, I'm going to "two-a-days." The fat will be in a full melt down by then. No Problem!!! This contest is mine!

Psycho DAD

One way or the Other

I will succeed!!!!

I just had a MRI on my knee to rule out anything other than Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). I still can't run for more than about 6-7 minutes without pain and to continue running through the pain only makes it worse and lengthens the recovery. They did give me some more potent anti-inflamatory meds so I can stop popping Advil like it is candy.

On the other leg, I do believe my hamstring is getting better although slowly. Many months of injury take much time to repair and I have been told many times that the hamstring does not recover as quickly as some other muscle groups.

So, I am still going keep dieting, swimming (although not much lately because my shoulder has been hurting) and doing some strength training.

Where has everyone else been. Surely you can take a few minutes to provide a update.

Jump! The Old Steam Engine Is Right On Top Of You!

It's getting closer, you'd better jump.

Saturday, 1hour & 35minutes of aerobics today! 35 min on stair stepper, 30 min on stationary bike, and 30 minutes on treadmill, and of course another day of 1000+ cal burn.

But, it wasn't easy. I was wipped by the end. Tomorrow, I think I will cut back to 1 hour, I don't want to scare you "younguns" off.

The Old Steam Engine Is Rolling! Coming After You!

Look out, here I come. Ya'll better find a place to get off the track safely. Yesterday: 1 hr 5min on stair stepper at a new record pace. Today: 1 hr 10min on stair stepper and another 1000 cal burn day!

The Old Steam Engine Is Rolling!

Matt is Here

I am still chugging along. Been a tough week for exersize. I have been working alot this week. We have a audit starting on Monday and it is alot to prep for on top of my everyday job. I did not get to the gym to weigh in so it will have to wait till next week.
