Happy New Year!!!!!

Good workout today, 5 mile run, felt good

Swiiming is fun when you do it right!!!

I just finished my swim workout. 1000 Meters and I could have done more, as I started the prescribed workout I was wondering if I could finish since it was so much farther than I have ever gone, But as i got into the workout and used the skills that i have been reading about, It started to feel easier!!!

One more day in the pool this week!!! Can't wait.

good workout day

Good workout tonight, One hour on the trainer while i watched the 2010 tour, I forgot how much I anguished over lances final tour. He crashed three times in the 7th stage, but hung on and finished the tour, He is a stud.

Oh well...back to my workout, LOL I rode 15 miles and kept my heart rate very low zone 2+ the whole ride, I'm dealing with a little lower back pain that I think will go away but a bother, none the less.

Tomorrow is a big swim day, supposed to swim 1000 meters. Double the farthest I have ever been and I'm a little nervous about it but I am supposed to go real slow and 400 of it will be drills so I should be fine.

Last night I did a workout that had one legged pedaling. OMG if you have never done it, it is very hard. My right leg needs work!!!!

Have a great night everyone.

Change of Plans Today

I was supposed to head to San Diego today, but michele was sick. she was running a fever and has taken all day to get it under control. I will do my training on the indoor trainer today and hope that she feels better, keep her in your prayers

First Day in the pool

I was a little nervous about getting in the pool today, Not because I can't swim...I got that covered. LOL

It was because I really don't know how to train for swimming, I purchased a swimming for triathlon program that included a video and that helped and gave me a few drills to work on. I started by doing the drills as a warmup and then worked on turning my hips with each stroke and breathing. I ended up swimming 600 meters which was 200 more than I ever did in a workout. I felt good and the feeling I got from accomplishing this was great. I will be spending 3-4 days a week in the pool until july. I should be much better soon.

I followed that up with a 2 hour ride on my regular road bike and avg 136 HR for 2 hrs I was very happy with that as well, I worked on form and pedaling technique since the effort was so low.

my goal is 11HRs of training this week. 2.5 down!!!!

Making Progress

Spent a few hours in the gym this week, feeling good, getting lighter. I will get in the pool starting monday, wish me luck.

It rained all day

Anxious to get home and get on the scale to see how I am doing, I ate everything in sight this weekend and hope I am still where I was last week.

I have along travel schedule this week, working out will be tough..... Have a great week!!!

last week

Sorry.... last week was our national sales meeting and Golf tournament. I love that week for what it is to our group and the interaction with the customers. I was proud that I didn't gain any weight!!! even though I ate terrible and kept terrible hours. But that week is behind me and I look forward to the rest of 2011.

I am going to have a great fitness week and can't wait to update everyone on my progress. Have a great holiday, god bless

Great night tonight

I hung out with some close friends and my mom made dinner for all of us. during dinner the topic of running the las vegas Half marathon Dec 5th came up. I am not running but listening to everyone talk about it made me think about trying.....What does everyone think?

I have lost 7 pounds since OCT 27th!!!!!

I was happy when I stepped on the scale today!!!!!

Veterans Day

Great day to be american and remember all the servicemen and women who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice for all the we have in America.

I got up early and went to the gym and ran on the treadmill for an hour. I felt better than I thought I would. I am feeling better each day, Got to keep at it.

Have a great day

Todays Ride

Well.....I rode for an hour and 18 minutes, I felt good for the first half hour and suffered the last half hour. my legs were sore but I tried to ride as strong as I could. I burned 884 calories!!! I am going to eat good today!!! LOL

Please say your prayers for my brother in law Tommy, he has been in the hospital for 8 days. Also say your prayers for my Uncle Alex who is recovering from Open heart surgery.

Have a great day

great day at Torrey!!!!

A week off of work

I needed some time off, so I took the week off, although I technically am on vacation, just the time away from the office has helped to charge my batteries. I went to the gym today and rode for an hour 21.5M and HR 130. I felt great. Then I got on the treadmill for an hour and Ran/Walked. my lower back was tight in the last 15 mins, but I worked thru it. Overall I felt good, I am riding by bike tomorrow morning so I will see how that goes.

Have a great day everyone

Its friday!!!

lots going on today at work and at home. My uncle is doing great but my brother in law is in the hospital,..... I hope they finally take care of his stomach issues so he can have a better quality of life.

Im still doing great on my diet and losing weight. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am heading to Kansas city to see the dolphins and the chiefs.

San antonio is a cool place

Had a great day at the Commscope symposium, got to see a lot of long time friends. also got to ride a boat in the river, that was really cool. I want to come back with the family to let them see it. I also ate at a brazilian steakhouse. too much meat!!! ate more than I should have, so I rode one hour on the bike in the gym. I felt great, my left knee was sore the first 15 minutes but once I got warmed up it felt fine. I kept my heart rate at 115 and turned 82RPM avg. so nothing to BLOG about...LOL but I was happy I spent that much time on the bike. Cant wait till tomorrow, I'm doing the Segway tour of san antonio!!!!! I have never ridden one and think it will be fun.

I tried to get an earlier flight home to be with my cousins for my uncle's surgery but couldn't get one... so I wall head to the hospital as soon as I get home. I will pray for him as I know that gods angels will watch over him.

Great start to the day!!!

I woke up and got on the scale and was 5 pounds lighter than i was last week!!! 31 more to go!!! my goal is to lose 35 pounds by Jan 15th. no significance to the date just the one I picked based on the Livestrong weight loss tracker.

Today I traveled to San Antonio to attend a conference, I will Spend 45 mins on the treadmill tonight.

Have a great day everyone

Great Day today

I rode 20 miles on my bike and it was nice to get outside and ride. I had to push myself a few times when I felt like turning around and going home. But I am glad I didn't quit. It was great. Cant wait to weigh myself tomorrow morning. I think I will be happy with what I see!!!!

I will be heading to San Antonio for a conference which should be a blast, my boss was going to go with me but backed out.....I am bumming about that, I enjoy traveling with him.

good night everyone. Happy Holloween

feeling a little better

I rode an hour on my spin bike this morning, I felt better than I have in 2 weeks. I think it had a lot to do with the energy I got from spending the evening with friends, although they were in mourning over the loss of their mom, I was feeling the love that was in the house and it gave me emotional strength that I took to sleep with me. God bless them and keep them in your protection and grace.

Diet piece has been a struggle, I feel hungry all the time.... But going to stick with it

I have lost 1.5 pounds. i have a heavy heart today because a good friends mom passed away yesterday. I will say my prayers for their family to find peace remember the good memories. Remember always to tell this close to you that you love them.

Day ONE

I have not taken care of body over th last 18 months and it shows, I am going to get myself in shape with the goal of running a marathon in 2012. not a half.....But 26.2.

wish me luck
