Yesterday…a little late

Sorry I didn’t get to post yesterday. I wasn’t able to take any pictures (except one from my car in the a.m. which didn’t really turn out). I had to be at work at 6 a.m. to drive to Bloomington for a hearing. The hearing ended up being longer than scheduled, so I ended up [...]

30 miles, yoga, and banana ice cream, OH MY!

I biked 30 miles today! Here’s my route:

The weird part about the ride was that the first half was much harder than the second half. I think there were two reasons: the wind was worse on the first half and the roads on the second half were much more even and overall better.

The ride took [...]

Weekend Recap

I did not eat the best this weekend. I need to work on this self control thing particularly when eating out.

Here’s what I had –

Saturday
B: toast (140) and almond butter (150)
S: Luna bar (180)
S: 1 1/2 pieces of homemade pizza (no idea) — these weren’t regular size pieces (much smaller)
D: turkey burger (260) and sweet [...]

Day 5, A lotta salad and too much beer

I didn’t work out on Friday. I wanted to sleep in and M had a softball game after work. I went to the game (and kept score, like the professional scorekeeper I learned to be when we went on our baseball vacation). After the game we went to George’s where I proceeded to drink [...]

Day 4, how many times have I restarted counting?

Well I have two problems tonight to post (1) Weber Grill Restaurant does not have nutrition info for their food. I had the Southwestern Chopped Salad with Grilled Shrimp
Red Chili Marinated Jumbo Shrimp with Black Beans, Roasted Sweet Red Peppers, Corn, Queso Fresco Cheese and Serrano Lime Vinaigrette. (that’s from their website). I didn’t have [...]

Food & work out, Day 3

I don’t know what I was thinking saying that I was going to do two posts a day. I just can’t make that commitment and I should have known that considering some days one post is hard. So back to one post a day.

Today was scheduled to be a one a.m. workout day. The [...]

More of the same (food), Day 2

The day today was almost identical to that of yesterday (except dinner). I did make a minor change to my wrap which I think was a massive improvement: I put a smidge of honey mustard on it which helped keep the wrap shut. It was very good.

M and I’s roommate is moving out of the [...]

Food for the Day, June 22, 2009

I am still getting used to this photographing my food bit (in fact, I suck at it right now). I also decided that for things I eat frequently (luna bars and oatmeal, in particular) I probably won’t take a picture every day. I forgot to take a picture of my lunch today but, trust me, [...]

Day 142 (4/22/09)

Based on my recent successes in races, I’ve decided that my interval training has been very useful, not to mention the fact that I think it makes the run go by quicker. Today, I did a slow mile warm-up. Then I did 3×400, 2×200, and 1×400. I did all of the sprints at or [...]

Day 141 (4/20/09)

I’m back, with a vengeance.

Woke up at 6 a.m. this morning and headed for the gym. I ran 5 miles in 51:22 (.5 mile warm-up and cool-down and 4 miles at 6 mph+ pace). After the run, I decided that I need to start at least doing three weight training exercises per visit at the [...]
