Monday, April 17, 2006I weighed myself yesterdayThe results were good. I lost 2 pounds last week. 1 pound the first week and 2 pounds the second week. Maybe this week, I'll lose 3 pounds. No, probably not. I'm still not exercising anywhere near like I would like. Today we had a freak snowstorm so I didn't go run and my son and I didn't go for our...

I had forgotten that I had swapped days on teaching them from Monday to Friday. So I taught karate while my son got to play outside. He wasn't feeling bad about it all. He loves to play outside so that's as good or... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, April 13, 2006The body's fitness level memoryMy quick search this morning has come up empty. I don't remember where I read this little tidbit. My search did turn up several articles that show that maintaining a better fitness level will help maintain a better memory for your brain. That means you'll be able to better remember how out of shape...

My son and I went for a run/walk today. We ran uphill with me pushing him in a stroller. That has to be a good workout. My hope is that I can be back in good enough shape within two weeks so that I can run the whole distance...

That's going to be great motivation for me. I am going to be off for a few days for spring break so I didn't commit myself to anything for this week because I know that it's not going to happen while I'm...

It's the way we were built. It is essential that we keep moving. This is more for me than you as I try to get myself psyched up to do more exercise but if it helps you out, great. The weather has finally changed... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, March 16, 2006One of the good things about the warrior diet is the daily rewardAnd I rewarded myself last night. I grilled up steak and crab for the family. Yummy! Then I took everyone out for dessert. We went out and had some ice cream. It's not recommended that you eat ice cream very often but on the warrior diet there is no such thing as banning foods from your diet. That's...

Today is the 4 week mark and I have made it to the first goal of losing 7 pounds. That's pretty cool. I weighed in today hoping because I knew that I was getting close. Now it's on to the next goal. The second goal is a... Sign in to see full entry.Saturday, March 11, 2006I'm sore from what little workout I did do on ThursdayI can feel it in the front of my legs and in my abs. I didn't think that I had worked my abs at all but I forgot that I showed the soccer team a good exercise for abs. Turns out that I'm right. =) I am going to start doing my karate workout on nonkarate days. Right now, there is too big of a gap...

I went to one of the local high schools and ran the soccer team through part of my karate workout plus showed them a few moves for fun. Today I can feel that I used those muscles. My legs, chest, and triceps are sore. And my... Sign in to see full entry. |
