Another Week Down

The push-up and sit-up routine is going really well for me. I am enjoying the progression I have been making.  I need to get in a better habit of running more during the week. I did get a good run in today so I am feeling really good right now.

My goal for next week is to watch what I snack on in the afternoon after work and into the evening. I have not done a very good job of it.  I am also going to concentrate on running this next week. It felt really good to get a run into today and I want repeat that experience next week. (several times)

I have said it several times in recent weeks but I am stating it again that I am rebooting this process and I am going to start working toward getting to my final weight. I have been hovering at 290 for the last several months and I want to get off this plateau that I have been on and get to where I want to go.

Today I start.

Digging the Pushups

So I am really digging the push up routine that I am currently doing. My first day consisted of doing a total of 37 push ups in total, now I am doing 72 push ups in total.  The sit ups are also going pretty well, I started at 92 in total and now I am at 132 in total.  I am working really hard to watch what I am eating and to continue to exercise regularly.  I am not sure what my weight is at right now because I am not weighing in regularly.  Once Easter gets here I will update at where my weight is at.

New Workout Day 1

I started my new workout plan this morning and boy am I a little sore.  I am planning on being able to do 100 consecutive push-ups, 200 consecutive sit-ups and 200 consecutive squats.  I am also doing regular resistance training as well.  Tomorrow I am going to be focusing on cardiovascular training via the elliptical, arc trainer or treadmill.  I hope that sometime soon I will be able to run outside...hopefully this week if it is warm enough outside.

Mon, Wed, Fri - 100's series of training
Tues, Thur, Sat - Cardiovascular training (hopefully outside)

I found a direct correlation of my weight and how much I ran. Last summer when I was at the height of my running plan I was at 276...I am going to get back to that and amp it up with some body weight training.

Need do better next week.

This was a tough week and I didn't get to the gym like I wanted to. But I at least ended it on a good note. Ran 2 miles today in 22 minutes, its not my best time by far but it was a good benchmark to improve on.  I also decided to do some 100's training which is pushups situps and squats and trying to be able to do at least 100 consecutive for each. Daylight savings is tomorrow so it will be bright enough in the morning to run, I am looking forward to getting back at it...one final note, I am not weighing myself until the Monday after Easter...I want a surprise for the work I am going to put In.

Beautiful Saturday

It is a great day in south central pa. And I am going to take advantage of it by going for my first official run of 2012. Now this wont be my longest ever but it will be 2 miles.  I am actually really looking forward to getting back to it.

Week 1 in the Books

Week 1 is in the books!  I had a pretty good week, I did end up snacking more in the evening then I would like to but I did offset the snacking by getting to the gym 4 times this week!  30 Minutes of either Arc trainer or Elliptical Machine and then some nautilus weight training. My body is feeling it right now but it is a good feeling! I really want to get back into shape so when Winter finally breaks I am able to run outside in the morning once we spring ahead in time.

Here's to my motivation keeping up during this Lent season and beyond.
