Another Fitday

How did I do it? A couple of years ago, I used Diet Organizer to help me lose down to 190 lbs. I was really lean and able to ride well. Since then, I've let it get away from me. My weight is now 210. I had started getting it down with an awesome amount of exercise but that isn't practical. I am starting today to reel in those impulses. I got an account online at Fitday and set a goal for my weight. The cold weather we're having will hamper the progress but I'll hit the gym to add to the program. I have to hold myself accountable.

So what are some specifics? Firstly, I'll swear off breads for the next four weeks. No fatty things either. NO sugars. That means leaving off bagels, bread, crackers, oreos, candy, peanuts, peanut-butter... pretty much everything. What can I do. Veg, fruit, water, and such. It also means registering everything I get. Good food journals.

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day.

Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

By
So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
