Spent 30 minutes walking fast on the treadmill today, but to shake it up I added inclines. What a difference it makes!

They day is still young and I don't have to work today. Therefore I'm going to pack a few boxes and then probably go on a bike ride or something.

All right, it was raining yesterday, so no frisbee. So I have to go running tonight!

If I post it, I have to do it...

actually the saying no pain no gain is in fact true. i think it has been misinterpreted though. when i say pain i am refering to the burn you start to feel. you get this when you have reached you anaerobic threshold which is when lactic acid starts to reach the muscles. when you can push into and through that burn is when you achieve the most benefit. the reference to pain is not refering to joint or tendon pain or strained muscles. those are bad pains. i suppose to avoid confusion i should reference the burn rather than pain. regardless it looks as though everyone is working hard and that is what is important. keep up the good work everyone.

Thanks for the clarification Glad to have you!

Okay, I need to update my goals. I have met my goals from my first post back when this started (well, I don't actually have River's body quite yet but all the other goals are accomplished)
So...I would like to lose 7 pounds and get some muscle definition in my arms (what I've got now isn't much). Just enough to make it look like I work out and care about my body:)

As far as today goes- no exercise but I've been having a hard time with headaches lately so I wanted to take it easy plus I was busy all day. I plan on getting in some cardio and weights tomorrow so we'll see!

argh! has it been a week?

I've only been swimming once and I've put on two pounds.

I also saw a photo of myself yesterday and though "i really need to do sit ups". Will try harder. I promise. Damn I'm crap at this!

2 lbs could very easily be water weight. Don't fret too much about it.

Persephone-Excedrin is great for headaches. Unless it's a migraine, in which case I don't have an answer for you. Good work on reaching your first batch of goals.

After the gym this morning/early afternoon, I came home and packed up a couple of more boxes. Then I went for an hour long bike ride to the bookstore and back. Almost died on this busy street. Must remember to eventually buy a helmet.

Well, I've been doing Tae Kwon Do 3 times a week (M, W, and F) for going on two years now. I've just started going to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays to try to work on more strength training. If I can somehow find the energy and willpower needed to start eating healthy I could actually end up being pretty toned. As of now, I eat way too much fast food so I'm still kind of soft in the belly area. Why does unhealthy food have to taste so darn good, huh? It's blatantly unfair, I tell you. Ah well. So that's my work out regimen. Tae Kwon Do classes Monday and Wednesday. Sparring class on Friday. Gym Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tae Kwon Do on the (very) occasional Saturday.

wight is relative. for instance i weigh myself every morning and i watch to see if my weight is in a range. my weight can be anywhere between 155-160lbs. very easily. this doesn't actually mean i have gained weight. there is alot than can cause your weight to bounce up and down. the best way to judge gains and loss is body fat percentage but for those of us who don't have those fancy things a good old tape measure works well too. i wouldn't measure your waste but rather things that are more consistant such as upper arms, thighs and chest. these are parts of your body that don't change based on what or when you have eaten or if you have digested everything.

ok here was my work out:

one hour 13 minutes on the road bike (outside)
1077 calories burned
average heart rate 158
24.5 miles ridden @ 20.5 mph

Did 45 minutes worth of weights last night, then 25 on the elliptical burning 275 calories. Did 20 minute on the bike for 175 calories. Then the wife and I went for a walk of two miles.

Probably won't be doing much tonight or this weekend as my wife has company coming in from Cali.

WorkerofEvil- Go read "Fast Food Nation" and you'll probably never want to eat fast food again. I've only read the introduction so far, but I already have a feeling that I'm going to be revolted. This is why I'm going to eat the biggest order of McDonald's fries I can find before I get to the chapter titled "why fries taste good". I'm almost afraid to ask.

As for my workout this morning, I spent 45 minutes on the treadmill. Might go for a bike ride this afternoon, but I really need to go to REI so who knows.
