100 Days and Weigh-in

Ok. I've pretty much dropped the 100 days thing. A failure, on the concept itself. Haven't been doing the gym, haven't been pushing myself, and have gone back to eating like I was, even if I am still tracking foods. This shows up in the weigh-in today. I'm 224#. Up 4# from last week. Yeah. 4#. Good job me. So, we have to recommit. I know I said that last week, but I didn't mean it. I have to keep starting over, again and again, until I don't stop.

100 Days - Day 19 + 20

No workouts, and not paying much attention to the diet. I'm feeling like the 100 days thing might just be a loss. Start again? Go for something smaller? Much more thinking to come on this.

Weigh-in

I held firm at 220# this week, which is as much of a blessing as I could hope for. I've got to get the diet tracking again, and get to the gym, and I think we'll be on track again.

100 Days - Day 17 and 18

I did not get up early on day 17, just like I thought I wouldn't, and I got home late as well, so no workout at all. I did get to the gym today, though, and put an hour on the treadmill, with a walk/run cycle, that got me just a bit over 5.4 Km done.

100 days - day 16

Laziness again in the morning. Could have gone to the gym for a run, chose to stay home and eat. Could have gone about lunchtime, didn't, chose to read instead. Thought I would get in a game this evening and then come home and work out. Game ran really late. With 15 minutes in the day left, I could do a very shit workout and call that ok (like I've done before), or I could just not. I think I've got to look at what the point of the 100 days was. It wasn't just to get in a something every day (though that is part of the notion), but it was to get a workout in. If I'm just going to not even half-ass it, then why am I bothering? I should abandon, and go back to meaningful workouts, that make sense, and that don't make me stress. Or I should just do my workout when I'm supposed to, and not do a half-shit job at it. Tomorrow will be no better for workout time, unless I get up early and do yoga, a workout likely will not happen. I pass on tonight, and will think about this 100 days plan a bit more. As well, my calories are so far over this week because of celebration stuff, that I will be lucky to hold ground at 220#. I feel I'm likely to gain again. And that makes me annoyed at myself. I need to recommit. I need to remind myself of why I'm bothering, and why I want this to be successful - and then I need to start making it a success.

100 Days - day 15

It was difficult to get in a workout yesterday. I had an opportunity in the morning and blew it off, and that left with with no opportunity in the evening. So, yay? Lesson is to just take the opportunity when it comes. I did manage to get in a very weak workout of bench press. Hardly what I'd call sufficient. I do find I'm half-assing a bunch of these days so far.

100 Days - day 14

An hour on the stat bike today. Overeating also. Just not keeping the goals in mind.

100 Days - Day 13

Still late in reporting these things, but did a little over 5K of running today. Actually did some jogging on the treadmill as well, so that's good. I'm absolutely going to have to work back up to where I was, but the legs feel good afterwards, so I'm thinking it wasn't too bad. I haven't reported my weigh-in for the week yet, because the weight went up to 220#. That's because last week did have some exercise in it, but it was all light workout days, and I was eating over the limit for 6 of 7 days. Some days pretty far over. I think the diet thing works if I keep the calories on target with lower workout efforts, and works if my workouts are intense and my cals are a bit high, but the double bad combo just means I gain back. At least it was only 1 pound. So, trying this week to keep the cals down, and get back to cardio on the regular.

100 Days - Day 11 + 12

Day 11's workout had to be short because there was too much traffic. I didn't get back in town until much too late, so I did a shoulder workout. Day 12 was early morning yoga practice. 30 minutes of yoga reminds me how weak my abs are, and how much I need to do way more.
