Daily Wrap
First off thanks for the comment Grandma! If anyone else wants to drop me a note the ask me anything box works as well, I think the comment system for individual posts needs looked at. So I’ll get to that later.
Today’s food was great, Tiffany made real good Chicken Tortilla soup that was delicious and pretty healthy as well. The total calories for today were 1520, about 29...

1602 calories today, about 50 over the daily goal. Which is fine. Today was a hang out with the family day.
Nathan has a cold that has him upset and crying at midnight. We’ll see how the night goes.
Planned out dinners for the week, trying three new recipes. Found some 0 calorie Alfredo sauce that I’ll try out when Tiffany and Nathan have some homemade sauce. Should be...
Weigh in
Just stepped on the scale and this week it is 224.6.
That is exactly a 3 lbs drop from last week and it brings the total loss to 10.2 lbs.
Hmm imagine that, stick to the plan, work hard, eat right, and the lbs come off. This was a good week, gotta keep after it.
Daily Wrap
Hung out with Nathan today and we had a pretty good time. Total calories for the day were 1477. About 80 calories below goal.
Also did 72 pushups, so that was good. Next up for pushups is a test to establish sets going forwarded. I really struggled through this last week on them.
Weigh-in day in the morning. Pretty strong week, so hoping for a good result.
Daily Wrap: what is a really good day?
Today was pretty great. 1550 calories,
1 calorie over my daily goal. Ran 2.74 miles, and broke my mile record.
I accidentally set my iPhone to Day 1 week 4 of the couch25k program instead if Day 3 week 3. So instead of an easier run it kicked it up a notch, noticed the first running section was a little long and noticed the mistake. Decided to just go with it. Was rewarded with easily my...
Daily wrap
72 pushups, and a good food day, 1315 calories. Probably a little low but better than being high and I haven’t been hungry so it’ll work.
Legs felt pretty good day after run, so bring on tomorrow.
Daily wrap: Wednesday Run
Good day, good day. Calories were 1435, about 100 below goal.
Got the Wednesday run in at 7:30. Normally I see no one at the South Albany track at that time, maybe 1. Today there were 4 other people, strange for a foggy winter night. Went 2.2 miles and Tracy Morgan telling me in the Nike+ app that he was proud of me for running more miles than last week.
Legs felt better than they have in...
Daily Wrap: Return of the pushup
Started back up the pushup program, and knocked out 64. It was good I need to keep these up, quick little struggle that I don’t mind. Just need to keep them active in my mind. Will do them on off run days (Tue, Thu, Fri).
Food was good again, under the calorie goal at 1415 for the day.
Legs are not too bad, a little discomfort but par for the course lately. Looking forward to see how...
Daily Wrap
Good day, ate well and got a run in.
Legs still hurt but feel better than they have the last couple of times out. Went 2.29 miles, decided to redo week 3 which I was on last week and do it from day one instead of being on day 3 and will stick to a M,W,F schedule, till C25K is complete.
Calories were good too, 1511 for the day which is 38 below my daily goal.
Perfect, now just keep it up for...
Weigh in and weekend wrap
Weighed in at 227.6, gain of 1.2 lbs. I think I was dehydrated last week when I did the official weigh in since I checked a couple times over the next few days and had gone up.
Oh well, had a birthday dinner for mom and continued the weekend of eating less than stellar (trivia last night at Rogue Brewery, Kobe cheeseburger and rum and diet cokes). Back on track this week, 3 runs and eating...
3 am wrap
Went out for my moms bday and ate poorly and drank poorly. Much fun was had, 2291 cals.
Will weigh in tomorrow a sneak peek on the scales has me expecting to have gained since monday.
3 AM daily wrap
No exercise, 1560 calories. Food was perfect, no exercise time for sleep.
2.02 miles today and 1460 calories. Legs continue to hurt when running but ibuprofen and ice helped afterwards.
Busy weekend coming up, poker night Friday, trip to the coast Saturday, Mom’s bday Sunday. Going to continue stretching through the weekend and hit the ground running on Monday and get three good runs in next week.
But enough about the future, today was good.
Edit: looking...
Daily Wrap
Calories were good today, 1385. Well below the goal. Time to own up to be a slacker on the exercise front again. Did some stretches, watched the P90x intro video, and read through the nutrition guide, but no running.
Gotta get back on track, exercise wise. Eating is going great but this week I’ve only run on Sunday.
Daily Wrap quick edition
Shins are still hurting so I did a good stretching routine in anticipation of a run, but that made it flare up. So I’m postponing my run till tomorrow, I will get out tomorrow no matter how they are feeling.
Calories were perfect, 11 over my goal for the day at 1560 total cals. Happy with how the food is going, and happy with how the running was progressing till my legs started hurting,...
Weigh In day
Usually it will be on a Sunday, but with travelling this past week it is today. Last time I was at 230.4, and that was 9 days ago. This morning I was 226.4, so 4 lbs, over the last 9 days. Which is great considering we went out of town for 4 and a half of those days, and had a mini party for the BCS title game. Going into last week I would have been ok with a staying even.
Next Weigh In day...
Travel back home Daily Wrap
No exercise today, just a 5 hour drive. Calories were great today, which I’m happy with since it was very much an out of routine day. 1554 calories, which is 5 calories over my daily goal. Hard to get much closer than that. Pushups tomorrow, and either some cross training or running depending on the shins.
Daily Wrap
Tried to be really good today to offset the last few days, and probably overdid it a bit on the food front. 1189 calories today.
Did the re-evaluation for the push up program, and did 26 pushups, which puts me in the high range for continuing on.
Did week 2, day 3 of the couch 2 5k program, had to do extra walking because my shins were killing me. Took some ibuprofen, sat in the hot tub...
Self evaluation for pushup program.
Did 26 continuous pushups, so my first day of week 3, looks like this

Sheesh.
Short and sweet
1789 calories today. Legs feeling better, let’s see how tomorrows’ run goes.
Run done
2.05 miles in the books, another Tracy Morgan congratulations via Nike+ this time for running more miles this week than I did last week. It was at elevation so I was a little more winded but not much. Also very hilly compared to my runs at home. Legs are still killing me, concerns me because I’m doing some pretty easy workouts (walk/run over a two mile area) hopefully it gets better soon....
Two day wrap
1750 calories yesterday, 1755 today.
Both days are a little higher than I’d like on a normal day, but for travel days and being out of my routine it’s pretty solid. No exercise yesterday, about to go get a run in.
Daily wrap whoops
2316 calories today, way above where I wanted to be. We decided on dinner late and ate out, I looked at my calorie app and choose a meal that left me at 1540 calories for the day… However it wasn’t verified in the app so I looked it up when I got home and it was way more than the app showed. Oh well, chalk it up and move on.
Leaving straight from work to California tomorrow. ...
Daily Wrap
I’ll try and do some interesting posts in between these quick little workout/calorie recaps daily. However these keep me on track.
Today’s calories 1462, pushups 53, walk run 2.47 miles for Week 2 Day 1 of couch 2 5k.
As far as eating and excerise it went pretty flawless. Overall I feel great except my lower legs, which continue to hurt. Rest of my body feels worked but...
Daily Wrap
Free Pizza lunch from work (avoided), pizza and rum for national championship (limited), and I ate breakfast. To end at 1618 calories is a win I’d say.
Too bad the Ducks lost, but it was an enjoyable season. Gotta get a run in tomorrow.
Daily wrap
1579 calories today, 47 pushups done for the 100 Pushup program. All in all pretty good.
Shins are sore from the last run and keeps getting progressively worse after each run. Bought some running insoles to go in my Nike running shoes, hopefully that will help.
Schedule calls for a run tomorrow, but the Ducks are playing in the BCS title game. No way I’m missing that. My Mom, Step...
Think I settled on a theme
What do you think?
I'd like to set a goal...
I’m a person who likes to set goals. So…. This is what I’m thinking. Portland’s run like hell Half Marathon, its the last Sunday before Halloween. I’d like to run it… They don’t have 2011 info up yet, but its been going for 7 consecutive years, so I’m thinking it will probably be done again this year. Interested? http://www.terrapinevents.com/run-like-hell-portland_register.htm
Got the run in
It was 30 degrees, and started at 9:30, but got 2.90 miles in. My shins hurt a bunch right now though.
Out to dinner
We went out to dinner, it was a Christmas gift from Tiffany’s grandparents. Delicious.
Done consuming calories for the day, at a total of 1849. More than than the last few days but still pretty good.
Still need to run tonight, it’s going to be a late one.
Late night daily wrap
Not much going on today. Total day of rest, in prep for hopefully a faster run tomorrow.
1360 calories, which is low, but that’s better than being high. Poker was fun, good night!
Daily wrap up
Not too much going on for this non run day. 1495 Calories, 42 pushups, tried a plank workout but Nathan was pretty wound up. Going to incorporate them into my non run days, interesting core strength building exercise.
Pushups
Day 3 of the Pushup program. 1 week down of the 6 week program. 42 pushups today, it’ll be fun when I can crank out 100 non stop.
I think I’m going to add planks to the 100 pushup program.
Hi facebookers
Say hi if you stop over from Facebook. It’s out there now, i better follow through.
Daily wrap
Did 2.53 miles on day 2 of the couch 2 5k. Some of that was extra walking at the end after the cooldown. Lungs felt great, much better than last time I think that’s because it was much warmer. My calves were killing me, so I was pretty slow. Calories consumed for the day were 1445, so that’s probably a little low? All in all a good day, even woke up early enough for a quick...
Calories
1372 calories eaten today. Probably a little lower than they should be, but the only exercise I did was the Pushup program.
Weather looks cold and wet for the run tomorrow. I think instead of running to the high school and doing the track I’m just going to run the streets and and turn around when the couch 2 5k program notifies me the workout is half over.
My iPhone is clearly my...
Push-ups
Did my daily push-ups, did an additional 5, so above pace for the 100 push-up program.
Legs are really sore today from yesterdays run, especially the inner part of my right leg. Calfs feel better than I thought they would. Let’s see how tomorrow goes, hope it warms up a little. Forecast calls for possible snow in the morning turning to rain.
Day one in the books
Good first day. Ate better (1555 calories), exercised, got this going threw some bread crumbs on Facebook and twitter, got setup with Nike+.
Tomorrow will be back to work for me. Going to start getting up earlier and eating a breakfast. Have my lunch packed and ready to go. The running program has tomorrow as an off day (running m/w/f or Saturday). Starting the 100 push up program to go...
Couch 2 5k Week 1 Day 1
2.2 miles in the books, 28 degrees for the workout. Cold tired and calfs sore, but I can do it.
Photos to look back on one day.
Took some photos to show the bottom. Not fun now, but hopefully soon I can look back at these and say never again. Let’s go.
