Fittness

Ok so I haven't done so well writing on this lately, but I am making progress. To fill in. I've moved, thanks to my wife's wonderful cooking, to what I'd call a mostly vegetarian diet. We'll say about 98% no meat. Still eating dairy and eggs and while we don't eat chicken much, I'd still find it acceptable. But between the diet and walking to work at least 3 days a weak I'm down to about 24lbs. I was sick last week so I expect to gain a pound or so back but even before that I was down to 242lbs. Going well here but looking to get a bit more of a workout here in the coming weeks.

Workouts

Last I wrote I was in quite a lot of pain even considering a visit to a chiropractor, something I don't do. But Friday morning I changed up the workout opting to do some nice stretching yoga poses and then just one set of unweighted squats before taking a long walk to work. Then Saturday it was still nice so we all went for a walk with our dog Tank. Between the walks and the yoga I got my back issues sorted out I'm considering doing yoga every morning and then another workout card and strength at night before bed. That's difficult though because I often drift off to sleep on the chair before the kids do at night. By y the way I weighed in sat morning at 248.8

Workout

30 minutes on the bike this AM. God my back is hurting.

Two sets of squats, two sets of push-ups, mule kicks, two sets of rows, one arm get-up off backs, two sets of lunges, two sets of curls at 25# and 30#, two set of standing tricep raiders at 40#, arm circles for shoulders.

So it appears that I have caught the lifting bug again. I really like the way it feels. It's the way I worked out when I was a kid. Feels good!

Squats, pushups, arm circles (for shoulders), lunges, rows with bands, sit ups, mule kicks, Out if time going to church

Ok so I had a bad workout weekend and I misses a couple of blog entries. So here goes, no weekend workouts but warm weather on Monday allowed me to walk to work and I broke a sweat scooping the very wet snow when I got off work. This AM I was up early for quick 20 min on the elliptical.

Did not pop out of bed today. But I did get 30 minutes in on the elliptical right before supper tonight. Included intervals at :30 to 2:00. It's nice having the readout on the machine if just to see my rpm's at high vs. low intervals. My motion is getting smoother and my endurance is building. Weighed 250.2 lbs this am.
