Fitness 2012

Meh, there are lots of exercises you can do for your core at home that require nothing more than you and a floor.

If nothing else just do planks and side planks a few times a day.

I've been rather lax with the weightlifting recently--busy/working late/etc. But I've kept doing the intermittent fasting, and it's still working like mad. Just goes to show that it's 90% diet and 10% exercise.

Re-started C25k yesterday. Foot handled it fine; lungs and legs not so much. Harder this time around, but I'm sure that's because I haven't done any cardio for four weeks. No worries, though. It feels good to be active again, so I know I'll stick with it.

Going to stick to my original work-out schedule for four weeks. Then it'll be time to switch things up a bit. I'd like to go to free weights then, and some cross-training stuff. A month of that, then on to something else, like yoga or something.

Hopefully, I'll have dropped a bit more weight. It would be nice to be out of the "obese" category.

Keep at it girl, slowly but surely.

Did 50-55km around the Dorset countryside earlier this evening, would have gone a fair bit further, but I started out late, forgot a map and it was rather humid all of a sudden.  Maybe tomorrow.

Haven't really gotten back into running this season, and my usual winter gym training was cut short in january by being stationed awat from home by work.

So my usual basic fitness level were shot, and I only slowly got back up running.

But, did two times 5K last week first of the season, topped with 7K saturday, and then just for giggles tried to time my 5K on monday. 28 min. Thats OK for the third 5K since sep. last year I think.

Will try another fast one tonight, and then 7K again in the weekend. If things work out I'll start doing intervals on the 5K ones.

I do need it though Weight has gained uncomfortably fast over the spring with lower excersise levels and I can feel they are harder to lose than they were when I was younger

Did my normal two weekend rides of 35 miles...today's had a weird sighting.  On my way out I was passed by a guy on a time trial bike (with the full skin suit and weird helmet).  You don't see that every weekend on a country road in Wyoming.

My wife suggested I do a weigh in.  We figure I have lost about 30lbs.  I am down to 260.  Only 20 more pounds until I reach my playing weight.  Ran into some guys from the old days who are still playing with the round ball and they said I should come out and play a couple times.

I am not quite there yet.  Need to get my running stamina up a bit more and I want to be able to dunk again before I hit the court.  But I think I might be playing in the fall - knock on wood.

I've got a lump on my leg.

It's called "muscle".

Or maybe it's a tumah.

I bought a steam cooker today:



Already cooked my lunch (chicken breast, broccoli, French beans). Tasted very good after I put some salt and basil-flavoured olive oil on it. I'm on a diet again.

[crazy canuck]

Steaming veggies is ok (although I prefer to grill them on the barbaque) but steamed meat?
