Fitness 2012

[mongers]

Ran Saturday and again today. I managed to run a full mile - very s.l.o.w.l.y. - without stopping today, too! Sounds ridiculous - I should have been able to do that ages ago - but I'm considering it progress.

The 5k in two weeks will have to be a run/walk endeavor, but I'm okay with that. It's a start.

Fitness test at work completed. I easily did three minutes on the step-up with a heart-rate of 112bpm when done. I managed 15 knee push-ups, and 10 (yes TEN!!!) full sit-ups in the alloted time. The squat-against-the-wall thing was hard, but I managed the full minute. And I am woefully non-limber!

It's done, though, and I'll get to see how much better I've gotten this time next year, assuming that I'm still here.

This shit is getting expensive. I have basically replaced my whole wardrobe now. Was out with Mrs MIM at the outlet mall last week. Bought pants. 33 waist pants. Even those require a belt now, and my belt is a sorry beat up thing with two additional holes in it that I made with a walnut spear. So far.


Six months ago I weighed 40 pounds more and wore a 36-37 waist.

I have lost some of the muscle that I gained in the past year from weight lifting, but the thing is positive overall. My girl likes it. She's been frantically signing up for fitness classes at the gym and shit like that. I do all my stuff at home for free, but now she's spending shitloads of (Microsoft's) cash to get more fit.

It's crazy how much you can influence each other just through your own motivation. I think Mrs. MIM is just not used to not being the hottest one in the house and doesn't know how to handle it. 


On the bad side, I really have replaced most of my pants in the last six months. It's not cheap.

Fucking men. 

Anyway, congrats on getting so healthy, and on getting Mrs MiM on the bandwagon.

Since I hurt my back I've become increasingly slug-like in appearance and activity level. It barely hurts any more, I just have TEH PH34R  So I'm back at it this weekend, at least three workouts next week then back on the healthy eating the week after. One thing at a time!

I'm also getting the urge to run again, may enter a race in spring after pay day

Walked 4 miles today. Got reminded why I need new shoes.

[MadImmortalMan]

Fucking men. 

I'm too skinny now though. Not as strong as I was. I think shifting to a surplus in calories will be harder for me to accomplish. I'm just not a big eater normally.

Go you, katmai! Now you can eat those fried Snickers with impunity!

[katmai]

Ewwww I hate snickers. Fried or not. My biggest weakness has always been carbs.

[Ed Anger]

Wait, a snickers hater? Burn him!

[katmai]

I don't like nuts.

[Ed Anger]

I don't like nuts.

There is no way I can safely reply to that.
