It makes me sad inside because a lot of the kids just stay inside and watch TV ALL the time and they're pissed off because they can't have 3 twinkies for breakfast. The worst part is that they learned it from the parents.

Yeee - that does sound horrifying, but hopefully eye-opening. Yikes does this country need to wake up! We're so unhealthy!

Just got back from the gym. Spent 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 on the treadmill. It was fun, but I can't wait to back to Madison tomorrow morning and have my school gym and all the city bike trails at my disposal! Not to mention the lake should be getting warm enough to swim in soon.

Weighed myself and it's steady from last week, but I'm retaining water now which means I've probably lost some. So double yay!

I finally dragged my butt to the gym- i'm getting sooo lazy. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and 30-45 minutes on weights and such.

Not really, more just got tired of being a lazy couch potato.

Really though my wife is constantly in the gym, working out, watching what she eats, etc. I felt I owe it to her to try to be in good shape since she works so hard at it, plus I owe it to my kids to try to set a good example. I owe it to myself too so I can be healthy and happy.

Okay- finally got around to finding out my measurements last night. The totals are only for the past two months (well, just over actually) b/c I was stupid and forgot to measure myself when we started this whole thing. So anyway:

total inches lost- 4, although I don't think this is right. when I measured myself the first time around I must have been wearing constricting clothing cause I know that I've lost more around my stomach area, but oh well.
total pounds lost- 10 but since my weight fluctuates so much this will most likely change soon.

So anyway, that's my report:)

Just got back from the gym- 30 minutes on elliptical, 15 on treadmill, 370 calories. Would've done more but was feeling a bit tired.

Looks like there's some really good progress here! Congrats

Yesterday I woke up and was surprised by how little I was sore. But, then as the day progressed, so did the soreness. And today, although a bit better than last night, I'm still sore from the Mon extravaganza.

So, I'm taking the day off. Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow.

30 minutes at the gym. Sort of low key--I walked fast on the treadmill.

Finally went to the doctor about my persistant illness and found out some good news. My blood pressure has gone down more (not that it was high to begin) and my core body temperature is up to 97.8 degrees F now! The past few years it's been around 97.0-97.2. Maybe, just maybe, my metabolism is finally getting better. I think there's a link between core body temperature and metabolism, but I could be wrong.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Worked out on the cardio last night. 25 minutes on the elliptical, 20 on the stationary bike, 20 on the treadmill. Burned 365 calories. Hit the trails and put in 3 miles.

Walking at lunch today and going to the gym tonight.

well this is the first fit club post i have seen. i suppose i should read more posts. i myself am an avid cyclist. i average about 200-250 training miles a week at 21+ mph on my road bike. i also race a couple of times a month as well as mountain bike a couple of times a month. i like seeing other people who are or want to get into a shape other than an apple. if there is any other cyclists out there who want to share training tips or would like to hear any let me know. i am no pro but i will help however i can. i am sure everyone has noticed how hard it is to find time to get a good work out in but for the sake of your health make the time whenever and wherever you can. the old saying no pain no gain is true. with hard work and dedication maybe we can put together a lean mean browncoat army to march on FOX.

Just finished two sets. If all is good, tomorrow I'll go for a shorter roller-blading thing. Don't want to over do it.

Welcome

And very true!

Sorry, but this is so very NOT true. Ask any professional and they'll tell you that if it's uncomfortable, or starts to hurt, then stop. The sort of thinking you're getting at leads to avoidable injury.
