Indoor Triathlon

Last Sunday, I did an indoor triathlon at the local JCC. I didn’t know what to expect and was quite nervous, but turned out I had no reason to. This indoor triathlon was 20 minutes of each exercise. A little different from a normal triathlon which is obviously biking > running > swimming in terms [...]

Weekly Weigh-In

I wish that I had good news to report, but somehow I gained 2 pounds since yesterday and a pound since last week. I had Indian for lunch yesterday which was an indulgence, but I can’t imagine it was a 7000 calorie indulgence. Oh well, I guess we’ll see what next week brings!

In other news, [...]

Running on Empty

That’s how I felt this morning as I attempted to do my interval workout for the week. My workout called for 3 1-mile intervals at 6.8 mph. I managed the first one just fine, but after that it was downhill.  I think I was hungry and worn out from the weekend. I decided to call [...]

Priorities and a Weigh-In

Here are my current priorities in life:

Working
Working out
Spending time with M
Cooking each night
Losing 30 pounds

The problem with those priorities is that they push the other priorities out: the thing that happens to fall out of the list the most is unfortunately this  blog. I just want to put it out there that if I have [...]

Daily Burn

Turns out stalking people on Twitter pays off every now and then. Yesterday, I saw a conversation between two bloggers about their favorite place to track calories. One blogger was about to come over to daily plate which I have been using for a while, and the other suggested Daily Burn. Then later the [...]

Pizza and Twizzlers

I wish I had something catchy to say about eating pizza and twizzlers like Jen did yesterday (she’s great btw, go read now! and then come back). Unfortunately, I didn’t eat healthy versions of these (are there healthy versions of twizzlers). In fact, I ate 490 calories of twizzlers.

I ate 2042 calories total yesterday. I’m [...]

Getting on the Bandwagon

Whoa! A morning post from EatRunLitigate – what is going on? Well see, I’ve been getting up for morning workouts for the last few months. I would love to get up at 5 a.m. everyday because it gives me lots of time in the morning to eat breakfast at home, take my time getting ready, [...]

Accountability

I read a lot of blogs. I often find myself yelling at bloggers when they post week after week about not succeeding. And then it hit me: I am that blogger. I post all the time about the goals I have, but, while I’m usually working well on my physical fitness goals, I’m continually failing, not [...]

Not all days shall be determined by the diet

Today was one of those days that didn’t go as planned diet-wise, but I’m ready to roll with the punches.

I truly have no idea how many calories I had today. I would guess around 1800 – 2000. I had sushi at lunch as well as M’s delicious white bean chili for dinner. Obviously don’t know [...]
