For the longest time, I'd go through periods where at the end of the day, I'd go wobbly when I stood up. When I was in for a follow up for some reason, I asked the physician assistant about this. She said I was probably dehydrated. I told that to my son, and he told … Continue reading Getting Fit

It's been a good month for working out. I increased my lift weight all around. But also twinged my back. Not bad. Just sore. I wasn't minding my form a few weeks ago and instead of giving things a break, I kept going. I figured I'd have a week off PTO, why not rest up … Continue reading Getting Fit

Weigh-in this month saw me at around the same weight as last month, a little high. But, near as I can figure it's probably a combination of two things. First is that I haven't been all that diligent about my diet. More fruit, more eating out than I normally do. Second is that I now … Continue reading Getting Fit

This month's weigh in saw me running heavier. About 4 lbs. I'm still within a decent weight, but heavier than I'd like. Looking at my tracker, my last peek like this was when I was into weights in Plano. In this case, I'm back where I was back then. I'm diligent about weightlifting. I have … Continue reading Getting Fit

Weigh-in this month had me at the same weight I've been for the last three months. Heavier than I prefer, but my clothes still fit well, if not somewhat loose. This could be due to a number of reasons. The first is that I stopped being as fastidious with my diet on weekends. The girl … Continue reading Getting Fit

Haven't done one of these in a minute. Now that I'm settled, I can get back on track with my fitness regimen. It took a bit of a battering over the holidays, especially with the move. My weight is right where it's been for over a year. A little heavier, thanks to the holidays. I've … Continue reading Getting Fit

There's a guy at my Church that does physical/occupational therapy that holds sessions every week as a ministry. Several of my friends (older ones) go to these. One, in particular, always wore the same type of Nikes I used to buy. As a testament to their declining quality, you could hear him coming from across … Continue reading Not a Fan

I didn't do a fitness post at the start of the month. Didn't seem to have much to say. I tipped the scales at 188. My weight has been in a 5 lb range for most of the year. That tells me my diet and exercise are on track. A little less eating out, more … Continue reading Getting Fit
Again?
I headed out on the bike for my normal Monday ride at lunch. It was hot as hell. As I crossed the big intersection near my house, I was thinking, "Nah, I don't need a repair kit on the bike. I don't go far enough that I can't walk back. Maybe if I go off … Continue reading Again?

I tipped the scales at 192 this morning. Probably less, since I wasn't buck nekkid on the scale. So my weight has been stable - +/- 5lbs since January or so. I think it cracked 190 because I've easily added 5 lbs of muscle in my shoulders and thighs. When I returned from vacation in … Continue reading Getting Fit
