The new Year, Procrastination, Running and the Gym

Wow, 6+ years later, and the  running is not the 100 mile months it once was, however I do think I got to 50 this month. That is a huge stride from where I was over this past winter and 2011 in general. Fitness and good eating is not something you do on again off again, it is a lifetime thing.

Today I got an hour in and did some good upper body work outs in.  While I had ballooned to over 205 over this past winter, I am now down to a manageable 196. 180 is the goal by summer. That will be here before I know it. Juicing, here I come. 

The Gym and Procrastination

I have a membership at a local Golds gym in Crofton, and ovwer the past couple of months have until recently attended as many as 3 times a week. It is a tough thing when you travel as much as I do to establish a Gym routine, but I try. 

That said, I have been pretty poor about it over the past 3 or so weeks. Gotta get back on the horse.

June and now Summer

A month since my last post, and I am down to 194 and feeling a bit better and a bit more tone. The Gym has finally started to become a steady regimen again. The days of running 20 or more miles a week are likely over. At least for the forseeable future. However 6 or so and some Gym days may be the balance I am looking for.

It's a lifelong thing

In 2005 I started on a trek to lose about 50 pounds that would take me to my weight in 1991 of 195#. I was close to 250 at the time in March of 2005. A little more than a year later I got down to 174. Far exceeding my goal and arguably a little lighter than I needed to be. Today I am at 192 and would be happy to stay between 180-185.

Last year I had a back related injury that took me out of my regimen. I started running less, and stopped going to the gym entirely. this led to more frequent poor eating habits again, and recently saw my weight balloon to about 204, and feeling every bit of it.  The past 2 weeks I have been back on track, and as I head to the gym in about 30 minutes, can only repeat the worn out phrase....Weight loss and good eating, and sleep is not something you do for awhile to achieve a weight loss goal. It's lifelong.  Now I just have to teach myself to remember it. 

Back in the Gym

So long overdue, but after a long weekend of client catering it's time for some me time with the barbells
