The Bandwagon

Published

I'm down to 183 lb.! Woo!

Yesterday I behaved, cheated only a little, but worked hard enough all day that it seems to have allowed me to lose some of the water weight I was carrying around.

Today I'm back on the bandwagon.

I needed the sleep, so I slept in today (not by accident, I planned it yesterday), and had a late breakfast of eggs, salad and some cheese. As you can see by the badge at the bottom of the blog, I'm down by 2 lb. from my original starting weight back in the day of 185 lb. Today's plan is to be an adult (blegh, right?), but it's okay because doing so will get some things off my plate that I really don't want to take care of. Like going to the bank, the BMV and working on projects I don't want to.

Later tonight, I'm cooking food for Shabbos (we're having some very special guests this weekend!) and hopefully finding the 3.5 hours needed to brew some beer.

I'm really hoping that at some point today I'll find the time to work out. It's been a few days now and I'm feeling like I'll never get around to it. I think I want to run. Even though I enjoy lifting more than I enjoy running these days (what can I say, I'm a dude), the run will invigorate me in a way the lifting will not. Plus I want to get my mileage back to a decent spot. I've been pretty lame in my exercise for so long.

Alright, I guess that's all there is to tell. Time to buckle down and get to work.

It's Been A While

 Last post was 2015 - 7 years ago! But believe it or not, I'm still going hard at this, setting and achieving my goals. And I'm proud to say I'm more knowledgable and more resilient than ever. The name of the blog has changed, to something I think will resonate more strongly with the message I try to get across - that progress, not goals is what is most important.   We often get caught up in where we are not, rather than the road so far, and how we got here. So I'm going to take a moment to go over the biggest changes to my life since 2015, and what the future holds in store for me.

Working Hard to Get My Thrills

Yesterday I ran with a friend. He's in way better shape than me, so the prospect of running with him was intimidating. Truth is, his body appears to be in better shape, but cardiovascularly speaking, I turned out to be ahead of him by a long shot. We only ran 1.8 miles, and that was the farthest he could manage. We took a couple breaks along the way, and afterwards I compared our pulses after about 5 minutes of cooldown. I was still up at 125 BPM, but he was 140. That's significant, and it's an indicator of my overall health. I'm not the fittest guy ever, but it sure doesn't hurt to win once in a while.

As I mentioned in the past, Wifey did not get a FitBit. I have the FitBit Surge, but Wifey has the Microsoft Band. She hasn't loved it as much as I've loved my Surge. Which is why today, I bought her the Charge HR.
