We’re into the second week of November and I realized that I didn’t put out my plans for this month. I will be focusing on my weight loss this month. I gained some traction in October, and I want to continue the momentum. The goal is to get my weight down to 190lbs by the…
I cracked the Intermittent Fasting code. For myself, anyway. It started with being comfortable with being Uncomfortable. Using that as a mantra was a game changer last month. But I’ve also started thinking of Intermittent Fasting as an exercise. Sometimes, I do my regular time restricted eating (TRE) and hold off having my first meal…
This was another good month for staying on track. Slow and steady is the way. Stick to the fundamentals: watch food intake, get good sleep, and exercise. My average weight went down 2.6lbs over June’s weight. So, I was down to 202.6lbs. My heaviest of the month was 205.4lbs. Lightest was 197.4lbs. Towards the end…
May was a better month for staying on track for weight loss. I managed to get my average weight down to 205.8lbs. That’s down 3.1lbs from April. My heaviest was 209.6lbs and lightest was 201.2lbs. It’s a combination of things. Intermittent Fasting. Getting to bed early. Not watching as much late-night TV. And getting in…
It’s the day after my long run. And I’m happy that my thighs are not tight or aching. That Legs Up on the Wall stretch really helps loosen the muscles. I’m still grateful that I found it. But my IT Band is aching a little. Which worries me. Maybe I won’t be doing any running…
There are plans. And there is the execution of the plans. The plan for this week was to get in two small runs and one long run. And the execution of the plan? I did one small run. Not two. My Friday got away from me. And my running window disappeared. I didn’t want to…
At the beginning of the year, I decided to get a subscription to Runner’s World. I wanted access to some of the online articles, but it includes getting the paper magazine, as well. I figured that the articles could help me prepare for the Around the Bay race. It had been many years since I…
The Around the Bay race is only two weeks away! My weekly running got kiboshed because I was expecting to do a run on my treadmill, but the treadmill is not happy. It’s out of commission at the moment. And let’s face it, I’m not following the “Motivation follows action” motto. I should have prepared…
It might shock you, but I didn’t do any running while I was on my trip to BC. I know. Crazy. But then when we got back, I had the sobering realization that the Around the Bay road race was only four weeks away. And I had only run 16km as my longest distance. The…
My weight crept up in March. My average weight was 189.2lbs — an increase of 0.5lb over February’s average. Although, I was a little disappointed, I have to look at it in perspective. It was only half a pound… Instead of beating myself up, I looked closer at my plan. Last month, I decided to…
