Well I got through the Insanity workout which about killed me. It was 55 minutes in length and I figured I was able to do 40 minutes of it. I burned somewhere around 950 calories for the day with both workouts. I ended up setting in my office for 30 minutes after the Insanity workout just sipping water. I was that wasted. The other night I made me some nachos and last night I had a cheeseburger, fries and a large carmel/marshmellow shake. I have worked my but off the last 2 days and then I sabotage it by eating this junk. WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!. NO EXCUSES

Bicycling in the wind

About 4 pm I went for a bike ride during the windiest part of the day. Lucky it was mostly flat. I did 13.9 miles and burned 1105 calories. Most likely burned more with the wind but 1105 is good. I felt it this morning in my whole body so I pushed myself through the 40 minutes of YRG. The class made fun of my because of all my moaning. But I did it and burned 417 calories. I have Insanity at 2 pm this afternoon, we will see how that goes. Then maybe some water jogging tonight. NO EXCUSES

Life is good! I have found something that has been in front of me for the last 5 years. Exercising with my classes. I am feeling better and the weight is coming off AGAIN. I got in 2 hours of cardio yesterday and burned a bunch of calories. Just exercise. NO EXCUSES

04/26/10

I got in another good week of exercise with 6 hour and 42 minutes of exercise. Only a little over 8 miles of running but quite a bit of cardio. This morning I did 45 minutes of YRG. No Excuses

04/25/10

No exercise Friday or Saturday but did do yard work. Today road the bike for 10 miles and burned 850 calories. It was windy and chilly so it was a more difficult workout. Will try and ride the bike more. Billy and the kids were down for the weekend and had a good visit. Just workout, do something, no excuses

Yesterday I got in a 3.50 mile run on the treadmill. I was awful sore from the previous day and could hardly move. That is what made the run. Doing it when you hurt and don't want to. I am still losing weight. Today it is snowing again. With the pollen so high one day and snowing or raining the next, it is hard to get outdoors to run. I just need to get some sort of exercise in anyway because it all adds up. NO EXCUSES!

04/21/10

Today was my killer day. I got in 45 minutes YRG, 55 minutes of Insanity and a 1 hour water jog which burned 1592 calories. All but the swimming was at work, which is great. I think as long as you are active and watch what you eat it will pay off in the long run. My first love will always be running but I think a change up does the mind and body good. NO EXCUSES!

I did yard aerobics again this weekend. At least that is what Grandpa calls yard work. Last week I was able to get in 5 hours and 52 minutes of exercise. I have been feeling better. Since the first of April I have lost 5.8 pounds without trying that hard. Watching what I eat and working out with my classes has helped. I had to quit beating myself up because I was not running what I thought I should. It looks like I will most likely cancel my Ogden Marathon in May. I just have not had the urge to run that much. We will see, I have been known to change my mind. No EXCUSES

I don't know if I have mentioned I have been doing yard work. Pruning trees and hauling limbs to the burn pit. I have a bunch of project to take care of around the house. That is one of the reasons I started doing the workouts with my class at work. This morning I was able to get in 40 minutes of YRG which burned 400 calories. Yesterday afternoon I ran for 5.58 miles and burned 828 calories. No excuses

I got in a YRG workout this morning before I got my migraine headache, not much fun. I still have not been running much but I am getting in workouts. With the YRG, P90X and the new Insanity workouts I have at least been doing something. Running and bike riding will come. Main thing is just do something active

4/9/10

I was quite beat up Mon. Tues. and Weds. so I took a couple days off, live to play another day. We have the Ballet tonight so we will see how the workout goes. Hang in there and keep working out.

For over 5 years now I have been doing lectures to my classes on everything to do with fitness. When the lecture was over they would do a workout and I would read my fitness mags. That is 5 years of workout I would have been paid to do. The reason I did not workout with the Inmates was the comments that our Staff would make whenever a staff member would workout with them. I decided to hell with them, I need these workouts in the morning to burn calories the rest of the day. So I started on 04/05/10 doing the workouts and no one has dared make a comment to me so far. Yesterday I ran 4.01 miles in 45 minutes and burned 410 calories. Billy, YRG means Yoga For Real Guys. I found out about it when Diamond Dallas Page was here making the movie and we were all setting on the grass talking. I hand picked 16 inmates to be in this class. They are all over weight, have health problems and most have never worked out. After the first 6 classes most are losing weight and feel somewhat better. I'll try and get you a copy. No excuses, just do it

My breathing is doing better and I don't wheeze as much. I got in a monster workout yesterday. I did 20 minutes of YRG. My class did a 90 minute session for Insanity, which I was only able to do 46 minutes of. Walked on the treadmill for 26 minutes while waiting for your mom. Mom and I did 60 minutes of water jogging at the pool. I am starting to lose weight again. No Excuses, Just Workout

4/1/2010

I kept my promise to myself and did a walk on the treadmill yesterday. I wanted to start up again and to see how my breathing was. On Monday I got another Kenalog shot which seemed to help quite a bit. We did have two days on very strong winds, which stirred up dust and pollens. I was on the treadmill for 70 minutes to check out my breathing. I warmed up slowly, then a little faster. I finally ran 4.5 for one miles, then I caught my breath walking. I did incline walking for awhile. It was tough but hopefully, for now, the worse is behind me. I got in 4.03 miles and burned 480 calories. Well, I did not disappoint myself by not working out, and got in an April 1st workout. No Excuses Just Run
