Day 31: 2nd Strength Day
Dead tired. Last night we got home later than usual, so it was about 8:45 when I went up to read stories to my 2nd grade kid. Turns out she had to read for 20 minutes for homework, so we decided that she should read first and then I’d read last. Sounded like a […]

Day 30: Swimming
So, still feeling good. Struttin’ around in my now-i-can-fit-into-them-again khakis. Just finished lunch from Panera after today’s swim.
I didn’t have any running/workout clothing at work (thought I did) but I did have my swim suit and goggles, so I went swimming. The only problem is that I had a meeting from 11-12, so […]

Weight Training - weeks 5 - 8 (or 10?)
[Mike] Well… here it is. The much anticipated second workout for Chris. I can’t believe we are already 4-weeks in. The reason we switched up his workout was because after a certain period (in this case 4 weeks), everyone’s body will begin to realize that a workout is no longer a workout any longer, […]

Day 30: New Pants?
Good morning. Just a very quick note to get the day started.
So, the wife is still recovering from the trip to Boston and we’re catching up on things that were neglected during our weekend away. Like laundry. Which means that I had no clean pants this morning because they’re sitting there in the laundry […]

Month 2, Day 1: Monthly Weigh-in
Technically, we’re not a full month in, but to keep things on a nice even schedule, we’re pretending that 4 weeks are a month so that we can do all of my monthly weigh-ins on a Monday. Its pretty much the same thing as a weekly weigh-in, but we also take a Tanita body […]

Days 26-28: Boston
I had hoped to get at least SOME workout time in at the hotel gym this weekend, but to no avail. Early mornings and late nights, with classes for most of the day. However, it turns out that its generally easier to walk around Boston than to try and drive, so we got a lot […]

Day 25: Weights and Measures
I didn’t post yesterday, so I’ll cover both yesterday and today in this post. I got busy and didn’t have time to blog.
Yesterday was a swim day. I got 50 minutes total in and hit 92 lengths, so over all 1 1/4 miles (88 lengths). No cramping or soreness at all. Since […]

Since Chris is still in the beginning stages of this life long committment, we will be still keeping a focus on total body muscular endurance and […]

Day 23: Cardio and Missing Time
I feel like I’ve been abducted! Or worse! Today I lost 6 days of my food journals over at Google Notebook. No clue what happened. They were there, and then they weren’t. Honestly, I’m not conspiring to hide the evidence of what I ate that NOTORIOUS week that I gained a pound. We’re looking for […]

Day 22: Weekend and Weigh In
Well, I tried to stay SOMEWHAT active this weekend. Saturday had us cleaning house and we went out for a bit, but then Louanna and I started working on her website. Have to get it done on the weekend, since I don’t have any time during the week to help her get it up and […]
