the summer of fitness

first week

did it

winter workouts

2010-02-02T23:08:00.000-08:00

winter is here, and we've all been forced inside, which sucks. The treadmill is fine, but I miss terrain, and that's something Boise has going for it that Nampa doesn't. A treadmill is like a simulation of exercise, I'm moving, but I'm also watching X-files.

Fitness Fall

2009-09-18T13:53:00.000-07:00

As September is more than half over, I propose that we move on into "Fitness Fall" or possibly "Autumn if you got 'em," though i'm not entirely sure what that means, but Scottie thinks it's funny.

all i need to get moving again is a body suit, anybody know where I can get a bodysuit?

if taking vitamins with wine is wrong, I don't want to be right

here's the skinny

2009-07-11T01:29:00.000-07:00

I figured I had lost some weight. I've been moving a lot more and eating better and less. small E's scale told me I had gained 10 pounds in, like, 6 weeks. So a little test proved the scale was off, and the scale I weighed myself on in the first place isn't this one, so all that to say I'm not a tank.

vitamin report

2009-07-06T22:55:00.000-07:00

Scottie says that to tell if the vitamins are going to do any good, they must dissolve inside of the body. To test this out, drop your vitamins in a glass of water, and hope they dissolve.

this is them just after he dropped them into the glass

this is a few minuets later

The goal is that they break down in five minuets or so. Costco brand vitamins passed the nurse man's test!

I'm not sure if today I kicked the crud out of fitness, or if fitness kicked the crud out of me...

vitamins, shoes, and fiber

2009-07-01T23:08:00.000-07:00

I bought vitamins. A huge Costco box of them, it's a 100 day supply of vitamin packets, with about 6 different things. B vitamins, fish oil, calcium, ginseng, a multi. So I'm about 3 days in to the first 100 days of the rest of my life.
Shoes: I was going to buy some, and I went to the sale at Fred Meyer, but nothing was comfortable enough. There was a sale at Sports Authority, and I went to that, too. I tried on a great looking, great feeling pair of gray and pink Asics. The guy said they are the ones. Comfort and longevity. Then he asked why I needed new shoes, and I told him about the blisters and all my problems, and he told me to buy Sof Sole inserts. The ones I got get heated in the oven, then put into the shoes and they are wonderful, and half the price of the Asics. Now, when I do get another pair of shoes, I am going to look at the Asics again, because they felt nice.
Fiber: Psyllium. I guess it's like sand paper for the gut and gets all the stuck gunk out. I'm excited for my 'alone time' tomorrow. I took 2 servingstoday, and should for the next 3 days, and then I should be doing pretty good. I will definately report back on this.

I think I need new shoes

2009-06-30T12:18:00.000-07:00

because of the terrible blisters. I thought I would just get through it, and they healed, and then today again those spots are causing me trouble. So, you see, it really is a need.

Summer of Fitness

2009-06-29T21:37:00.000-07:00

The last three days have been somedays and now I'm wondering do I just jump back in or do what I missed. I'm sure it won't matter but it helped me stall out for today!

the movie of fitness

2009-06-08T08:56:00.000-07:00

it was suggested to me by two of my summer of fitness cohorts that the movie Run Fatboy Run is a good jumping off point for the group from a cinematic standpoint, and I agree that we as people should strive to have holistic experiences, so that's why I'm recommending it.

one of our rules

2009-06-07T12:12:00.000-07:00

is to work out everyday, but some days. I've just lived through 2 some days in a row. Tonight I think I will do the Wilson's pond walk. I think it's funny how excited I feel about the walking.
