Tale of the Scale, Week Two

Sorry, I’m a day late with this. I worked out for 1.5 hours yesterday, then ran errands. By the time I got home, I needed a nice long nap. So goes the time to blog.
Anyway, officially I lost another 1.5 pounds this week. That a total of 3.5 in two weeks.

Why I Need A Trainer

I never was much of one for exercise. Yeah, I’d do it when it when I had to.. but I’d always take the easy way out.
Today I went to the gym to work out. First stop: the treadmill. As soon as it started, I was bargaining with myself, trying to [...]

Tale of the Scale

This morning is my third session with Guido (we doubled up last week). We worked on the “core” exercises getting a couple new ones. I need to getting a schedule firmly set in my mind as to when I do core (every day), aerobic (5-6x a week) and weight training (2-3x a week).
My [...]

Wednesday’s Way

Yes, it’s 2 days after my first workout, and I am still a little sore today. I knew I my muscles were soft, but not that soft!!
While driving home from a meeting I had a nice surprise. I’ve mentioned before that I listen to sports-talk radio while I drive, right? Yes, ofcourse [...]

Post Workout #1

I was sore today!! I was sore in places that I didn’t think I worked. I’m guessing this is a good thing.
Unfortunately, I woke up way too early this morning (like 5 am).. and after running errands all morning, fell asleep right after lunch. A two hour nap helped my alertness, but [...]

The Work-Out day one

Unfortunately, I arrived a bit late for my first workout. An accident completely discombobulated the traffic near my house. Still, I arrived and got to work.
Now I thought for a moment that the long walk to the back of the club, down the stairs and through the locker room so I could pee [...]

Today is the start of new phase. Last week I signed up for 24Hour Fitness’s Six week program. Today will be my first workout with Guido who aims to help me strengthen and stabilize my core muscles, and in doing so strengthen the whole me. A stronger me should be a [...]

The Next Six Weeks

When I was in Illinois, I made myself a pledge. Well, I made when I stepped on a scale near the half-way point and found that I had gained 10 pounds. It was all the bread and white potatoes and lack of fresh veggies, I know.
Anyway, I pledged when I returned home I [...]

The Household Repairs.. Still waiting for the Third Shoe.

OK, the sink is repaired. Funny thing about the furnace… it baffles everyone. For 8 years we had a very quiet unit. They replace the motor with one that’s supposedly identical in size and power and suddenly we develop a noise that is attributed to too much air being pulled through the [...]
