Weight Loss Challenge Starts Now

Walked 3 miles with the dog last night.

Tonight it's back to running and workouts.

Ok. Totally forgot again to post. So crazy. But I have not forgotten to workout at all.

Thursday night I ran 2 miles immediately followed by a 30 minute workout. Right after that we recorded with Chris, aka Dr. Quest. I was exhausted by the time we were ready to record.

Then yesterday I biked for 7 miles. Then did another 30 minute workout. I am really enjoying biking, even though it's still hard work and I push myself while out there.

Today is my light day to let my body recover...and it needs it.

My gf and I have been biking a bit lately. I find it's my favorite type of exercise I think. I used to ride my bike constantly when I was a kid.

Just got back from a 3 mile walk. Hot as hell, even this late. Hope tomorrow cools down because tomorrow it's back to running.

Ran 2 miles today in one of the muggiest days here. 2nd mile was pretty rough. Then did a 30 minute workout that focused on legs, abs, and shoulders.

Might go for a walk tonight.

It looks like I have started my plateau period. This past week I barely lost any weight. I'm going to stick with my routine for now. If there is still no change, then I might switch up my routine a bit. I know these plateau periods can end as quickly as they start.

Just biked 7 miles and then did a 30 minute workout focused on calves, back, and abs.

I think once August 12th comes, I will up my distance on my bike to 10 miles. 7 miles seem to be pretty easy going now. If I find that 10 miles ends up being too much, then I'll scale back a mile or two, but I think I'll be fine.

Walked 3 miles last night with the wife and dog. Had to jog a little during the walk back or else I would not have made it back home in time to record with Chris Campbell.

Tonight I ran 2 miles, then walked a mile with the dog, and then did a 30 minute workout focused on biceps, back, and abs. Almost 2 months straight and have not missed a day yet.

Tomorrow it's back to the bike.

Road the bike for 7 miles again yesterday. Next time I bike, I will be going for a 10 mile bike ride to see how that is.

Then I did a 30 minute workout focusing on thighs, calves, and abs. Then I took the dog for a 1 mile walk.

Light day today. Just a 3 mile walk to give the body a chance to recover.

Walked 3 miles tonight. Was my light day.

Back to running tomorrow. Fun times.

[starjoesryan]

Ran 2 miles yesterday. It actually felt a lot easier than in the past. I will still be sticking with 2 miles for a bit longer before upping it. Then I took the dog for a mile walk.

Today is the 2 month mark on my journey, and I am happy to report that I am back to losing weight again. Weighed myself today and saw a very nice drop in my weight.

Today I will be biking 10 miles for the first time. Hope it goes well.

Rode my bike today for 10 miles. Felt good. Felt like the push I needed to make the ride a real effort again, without overdoing it.

Then did a 30 minute workout.

Then took the dog for a mile walk.

Very happy to have a light day tomorrow.

Forgot to post again.

Walked 3 miles yesterday with the wife and dog.

Today it was back to running. Ran 2 miles today. It is definitely getting easier to do. Not easy enough to up the distance yet, but definitely not dying at the end like I used to be.

Then did a mile walk with the wife and dog.

Then did a 30 minute workout show. My wife joined me. Always makes he time go better when someone exercises with you.

Tomorrow it's back to the bike.

Just biked 10 miles today, and then did a 30 minute workout focused on thighs, abs, and aerobics.

Walked 3 miles tonight. Nice cooler evening. Went with my wife and the dog.

Tomorrow back to running.

[starjoesryan]

Ran today. Decided to have myself timed today. It was almost exactly one month from the last time I had myself timed. Last time I ran a mile in 10 minutes and 26 seconds. So I gave myself the same goal this time as I did last time of 9 minutes and 40 seconds. The goal was to reach that, and if I did, then I didn't have to run the 2nd mile today. So I went out there and pushed myself and when I finished my time was....

9 minutes and 20 seconds!!!

I beat my last time by 46 seconds in just one month.

Then I went for a walk with my wife and dog for a mile. Then did a 30 minute workout focused on biceps, triceps, and thighs.
