did 5 more mailbox rounds....total today of 20 minutes downhill,and 30 minutes uphill,and i do mean uphill....i really enjoyed bein able to get some cardio in,and not have to get in a car...when it cools off this evenin,might do a few more rounds...ive found that the day after i jog,if i do hills the following day,then go to the forest the next day,and just do some light walkin...im then ready for some more joggin...from what ive read,mixin it up,and not allowin your body to become too efficient,too in tune,with whatever exercise you happen to be doin,that is the best way to lose fat...anyhoo,i get bored doin the same thing every day..........'keep the continue'
10 oclock,and its rained all mornin...brought my concrete blocks and weights into the garage,,gonna get in a good strength trainin session...if it dont stop rainin soon,im gonna be out there in the heat of the day....i dont like it,cause the heat changes the walkin from an experience i look forward to,to somethin very similar to work.....buuut,ye gotta do,what ye gotta do.......if ye find a road,with no obstacles,it probably doesnt lead anywhere...OUCH........i think its stopped rainin,,,LETS GET JIGGY WID IT......'keep the continue'

in the a:m,im usually about as gung ho,as you can get..somethin about startin off a new day,and especially if i get up early enough to watch the sun come up.., the evenin,is another matter..not lookin forward to climbin that fkn hill...buuut..from pain,will come pleasure.....my thinkin is,im better off,doin 50 to 60 minutes early,and then 15 minuts late,than i am doin the whole 1 hr and 15 minutes in the mornin...tryin to exercise smarter,rather than harder....LETS GO GET THE FKN MAIL....'keep the continue'
Good work this weekend HN, I don't have the net at home anymore (moving soon), so its hard for me to post on the weekend. Personally, this weekend had some mixed results. Friday night the wife and I went to the movies, which is in the mall, so we treated ourselves to a night off the diet. I had a steak and cheese sandwich, which used to be my favorite. Then we went into the movie and I had a big pepsi and some popcorn. I thought it was great... until about halfway into the movie, my stomach felt like CRAP. I guess it's not used to that kind of crazy food anymore, and it didn't like it one bit. I struggled through the rest of the movie, but it was actually a great thing -- I realized that I don't need or want to go back to that kind of eating anymore. Hopefully that will allow me to eat my healthy food with the piece of mind that I'm not "missing out" on all that other stuff.
The rest of the weekend was pretty boring, not much to report. Had another baseball game, did a few things around the house, and eager to get it on this week.
Slice of toast with a tiny bit of strawberry jam, and some mixed fruit for breakfast, and I'm ready to go!

wasnt in the mood to drive to town,so i woke myself up,by doin some pushups,strength trainin with the weights.. then i hit my 'guerrilla cardio' lookin driveway,and did 5 rounds....goin to have some scrambled eggs,with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers,from mrhognuts garden,and have myself 5 more rounds......one thing is for sure,thi driveway is makin my legs stronger...if i didnt get bored,id never need to leave the house...buuut of course, 'IF' aunt molly had balls,she'd be uncle john........'keep the continue'
ivy,when i hear these so called 'experts' say..'it takes 21 days to form a new habit'..my initial thought is, HORSESHIT...it takes me about 3 months,of doin the same thing,every day,before it becomes second nature,or what we call a 'habit'.....youve got a good handle on the problem,and youre in he process of changin an unhealthy lifestyle, to a healthy lifestyle,and that takes time...ive been at this for over 8 months,and i still dont know shit...buuut,i know a hell of a lot more,than i did,and i can honestly say,that i learn somethin about exercise or nutrition,every day......hang in there,it aint over,til youre dead.....'keep the continue'
Yesterday was a bit of a washout. Ate my usual rice and pasta meals, but as soon as I got out of work and ready to head to my baseball game it started downpouring. Rained as hard as I could remember, so that was out.
Looks a little better today, so looking forward to the walk home then a little jog around town. I've gotta find myself some healthy rice and pasta recipies, or I'm going to go crazy soon.
