March 31st a new beginning

I have not been posting because I have not been exercising. I don't want to look like I am feeling sorry for myself, so no posts. I have had allergy and asthma problems for half of Feb. and all of March. For some reason this year has been a real problem for me in the breathing department. I take all my regular meds. and on top of that I got a Kenalog shot on the 23rd. I have an appointment with Armstrong today to get his opinion. I have gained weight and that is most likely a big part of the problem. Mom and I decided to give each other a different type of anniversary present this year. We promised each other that we will eat better and cut out the junk we eat at the house. That start on Weds. Will let you know how this works

Goal setting

Reading Brandon's blog he said; no more goals. I am wondering if that is the way to go. I know when I set a goal, then not follow through with it, I get depressed. I have set eating goals, weight loss goals, running goals, bicycling goals, weight lifting goals, projects around the house goals. Some I keep and some I don't. When I fall off the goal wagon and get depressed for not meeting my goal, I eat, stop exercising, or both. I will think about this and then decide if I will set any more goals. Last week I ran 7.95 miles in 1h22m. I water jogged for 2 hours and with both the run and water jog I burned 2414 calories. I did not meet my goal of 30 miles running. Goal setting?????? Another 4 inches of snow and white is still my favorite color, for now. Have fun

3/11/10

Yesterday I was able to get in 20 minutes of YRG, 4.20 miles of running and a 1 hour water jog for a total calorie burn of 1322. It was a good workout day. I started sneezing with a runny nose around 7 this morning. By 9:30 I was chilling and put on my coat. I really hope that this is just allergies. Just Run

3/9/10

Got in 15.67 miles in 3h24m burned 2819 calories last week. We had a nice weekend in Kanab. The weather was good and most of all there was very little snow. Yesterday I was able to get a 3.75 miles run, a 1 hour water jog and burned a total of 1082 calories. Good start to the week. I bought a new pair of New Balance 906 trail shoes. I crushed the Montrail Masochist trail shoes that I only have 112 miles on. They were a light weight shoe which I loved but not built for a 240 lb. person. I will still get my mileage out of them with short trail runs. A good start to the week. Get in some sort of activity this week

3/4/10

Got in 5.53 mile and burned 927 calories in my walk/run today. A good workout. My legs are sore like I have never did this before. Like Brandon I am not going to put down my times. The time will be better as the fitness gets better. So I will let that take care of it's self. Snowed 4 more inches today and another coming in for the weekend. Cell phones will be on. Just Run

3/3/10

Yesterday was an ok day. I got in 4.08 miles of mostly walking with a little running in 60 minutes and burned 747 calories. Not that great but at least I did something. We are going to Kanab for the weekend and it should be fun. Just try and get in some type of exercise each day

March second!

Yesterday was a good day. I logged everything that I ate and the total calories were1925 with a protein count of 115. I need to add a little more protein. I will continue to adjust these amount with the amount of exercise I get. I treadmilled it yesterday for 6.06 miles in 84 minutes and burned 1145 calories. I have to walk quite a bit to get loose, so I shouldn't get to upset about how long it takes me to do 6 miles. I will try speed work once a week. I am not going to post my blood pressure but once a week (to depressing) and it takes awhile before it starts going down. My starting weight was 242.2 and this morning I was 239.2, a good start, wish I could loss that everyday. Stay Positive and Just Run

March first!

Here I go again, starting over, again. I am hoping for a better attitude since spring is just around the corner. Looking back through my logs I seem to flounder the months of January and February. My mileage for Jan and Feb 09 was 54 miles. My mileage for Jan and Feb 10 is 90 miles. It must be the time of year. Since I am aware that my mileage suck during these 2 months next year I can do something about it. Went for a ride Saturday to the Swell which helped my cabin fever. We have a outing planned for this weekend which will be fun. Here are my stats and they are not good. 3/1/10 I am 242.2 lbs with 41.2 % body fat. My blood pressure is 146/93 and my pulse is 75. I don't have to tell anyone that is not good. I have the Ogden Marathon in 10 weeks so time to get moving. Three weeks later I have Utah Valley Marathon. I am not going to set any weight loss goals. I just need to get healthy. I need to feel comfortable in my skin again. I will try and stay more positive with everything. Stay positive and Just Run
