Done for the weak?

You may have noticed the word weak in the title, if not, look again. I completed my first full week of school in many many years and I am tired. I never gave enough credit to my wife when she was getting all those degrees for her constant abundance of energy. This is harder than I thought. Not just the school work part, but juggling the home, wife, kid, workout, and diet that needs to continue regardless of school. To top it all off, I "misplaced" my pedometer early in the week and somehow lost my motivation to exercise. I did manage to ride a couple of days and walked(in the snow, uphill, both ways) a bit too, but the last two days, I've been drained. I feel WEAK. Oh well, that is behind me now and I get to look forward to a full weekend of shoveling, cleaning, snow hiking, and homework. Health is good, and the normal shoulder/ back pains are at bay for now. I found my pedometer and am back on track for fitness. I never realized that I needed to have the numbers to motivate me, but I learned something new. School is awesome and I feel great about it. Life is good. If you don't agree, do something about it. Life is good. I am done with this weak, time to start anew.

College Boy!!

Made it through my first day at the University of Akron and I am officially a college boy. I had a great weekend eating properly and walking a bunch. Do-do me forgot to weigh in this morning, so that bit of info will have to wait. Gotta go for now, I have to eat and do homework. Yes, homework.

Fourth Day = Pain

Okay, so its not PAIN, but my body is sore. I just have to remember that sore is good. Sore is my body telling me that it is healing. Sore sucks, but is also good. I love/ hate sore. My wife and I ran/ walked 3.67 miles last nighs, came home and made a delicious Asian chicken cabbage salad for dinner and then crashed hard. 5:45am came way too early this morning, but I did it and managed to ride 5.29 miles on the trainer while the wife enjoyed Just Dance 2 on the Wii. Neither of us wanted to get up, but we did it. Yeah us! 316lbs., this is working.

I forgot I had this Blog

So I think I pull my head out of my rear-end and start this back up. This week has been pretty good considering the cold temps. Monday I managed to ride just under 6 miles on the trainer and walk just over 6 miles too. Tuesday was 5.89/ 5.05 ride/ walk and I managed 6.4 miles this morning on the trainer. Eating has been good, either protein fruit smoothie or whole grain cereal for breakfast, fruit/ string cheese for snacks, left-overs from the night before dinner for lunch and waaaaaayy healthy dinners. Water consumption has been steady at just over one gallon per day. Weight is down from 319.8 lbs on Monday to 318 today. Slow and steady wins the race. Stay tuned for more.
