Moving Along

2 miles, Peter Johnson, walking w/ poles. Making some gains, and getting committed to regularity. Eating better, more veggies raw and stir fried both.

Sunday, Monday

Sunday, 11-24-2013

25 min. spin bike, 5 min. to 120 bps, 5 to 20 min. @ 120 / 130 bpm, to 25 min. cool down to 117 bpm. More felt effort to sustain 120 bpm, may be lack of recovery.

Monday, 11-25-2013

Peter Johnson (2 mi.) w/ walking poles. Feeling as though we're making some fitness gains. Able to push the pace a bit, and feeling energized.

WE FOUND OUR LOST ARROW ! ! ! Feeling like we're heading back into the archery. I need to start on the Focus 24# and work back into the 40# draw.

Spin Bike

220 - 65 = 155
140 = 90%
135 = 87%
130 = 84%
125 = 80%
120 = 77%

11/23/2013 -- 25 min. 5 min to 120, to 20 min. @ 130 / 135, to 25 min. @ 130 / 120. Get some hydration, watch TV, settle on something w/o ads. Remote control in a carrier on the bars.

242 lbs. and 32% fat.

Spin Bike

25 min. Spin Bike, 11-22-13, in front of the TV. 5 min. warm-up to 120 bpm. 15 min. @ 120 / 125, and then 5 min. cool-down. This AM was 242 lbs. and 32%. Some speculation that 2 mile walk on Peter J. is too far . . . or too often. We need to "adjust."

More Ick --

Saturday, Sunday, Monday -- haven't been feeling up to getting out and walking. Maybe two miles is too far. Generally feeling tired. Eating better, but no weight loss to speak of. Weather is nasty, windy, wet, promised to get more of the same.

Let's commit to sticking on this program, without getting obsessive about it.

Progress ! ! !

This AM it was 238# and 33% . . . Two miles on Peter Johnson w/ poles. Stopped to pet Englund's horses. Light sprinkle which is now steady rain. We're feeling better about walking, feeling physically better, and the rain shouldn't be a problem -- since I can come home and shed the wet clothes.

We bought frozen stir-fry from CostCo, fresh shrooms and tomatoes, a decent breakfast.

Tuesday -- 11/12

Peter Johnson, w/ walking poles. Two miles on the nose!

Took today (Wed.) off for VA appt. -- Also bought some more legal books: Evidence, Examples and Explanations (Wolters Kluwer); Evidence, Gilbert Legal Summaries; Legal Writing, Examples and Explanations. They all look most excellent! My cases before the bench are becoming maybe more about gleeful revenge then due process.

That said, let's focus on better diet, getting some exercise. I need to re-include frozen veggies. I'm not getting veggies in the diet. We should focus on veggies and rice/quinoa . . . Weight is up, fat is up.

ICK --

Walked Saturday 11-9 and Sunday, 11-10. After walking we pruned the limbs off some trees in the driveway and dragged them down to the brush pile. HEAVY LIMBS ! ! !

Today I feel totally like shit and taking the day off. BP and BS seem high but under control

GET OFF MY BUTT BLOGZILLA --

Let's say 242 lbs. 35% fat, more or less.

This morning we walked down to get the mail, were surprised to find that my back didn't stop me coming back up the hill. But we got winded.

We tossed walking sticks, raingeear in the truck to have access.

Then off to Big 5 for shoes, New Balance 4E width, and size 12 (It's a small last. My other New Balance are 11 and 4E.) On sale, $45.

Riverwalk, down to Portway, again amazed my back didn't give out. Thinking I should put the Nishiki Mt. Bike in the truck, pump, gloves, and a helmet, so I'd have it when the weather is nice.
