Gearing Up...Weekly Weight Update

Before I get started I wanted to share a cute picture. You all already know that every Sunday I make pancakes for the family. If that isn't cute enough (I know, I'm adorable), Rizzo bought Cece a stool so Cece could start learning about stuff in the kitchen and learn to help out. Last Sunday I pulled out the stool and I was teaching Cece how to make pancakes. I love this picture and I'm taking this moment to be a proud Dad. I can do that because it's my blog and I can do what I want. I dare you to look at this picture and not think that it is cute.

Ignorance is Bliss...Weekly Weight Update

I usually check in on my weight once or twice at home before the official weigh-in each Sunday. I didn't do that this week. I wasn't purposefully trying a different approach it just slipped my mind. I didn't even think about it until Saturday morning (when I started to write this) when I realized that I have no idea how I was doing so this week.

Cabin Fever...Weekly Weight Update

I hate running on a treadmill (now that you've seen my video on the proper pronunciation of the word last week you can really hear me say it, can't you). Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that I have one in the house so I can still get in a workout as the snow is melting but I just don't feel like I'm working out as hard or running as long as I should be. It's SOOOOO boring. Not only that, the moment I step off the treadmill I feel like I'm going to fall down. My equilibrium is all messed up after 45 minutes of what is essentially running in place. I need to get to running outside again.

Cars...Weekly Weight Update

This week started off great. After the Sunday morning weigh-in the family came home for some pancakes and eggs for breakfast (as is our Sunday morning tradition that you can read about at Sunday Funday). I had plans to get over to the movie theater with my good friend Steve for a second viewing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens so I hopped in my car to be on my way. That is when my car didn't start.

Bring It On...Weekly Weight Update

It is amazing what the right gear can do for a workout. This week consisted of getting back in the swing of things after a 5 day "break" for Christmas down in North Carolina. As I reported last week I was still keeping up with the exercise routine but it was challenging being away from home and since I didn't bring my normal running shoes. I was wearing some heavier cross training/hiking shoes because I didn't want to pack another pair of shoes for the trip. This was a terrible mistake and I was grateful to get back on and put on my running shoes to get out for a run.

Tuesday I was back running and it felt good. I was happy I missed the rainy weather to get in a nice 3.2 mile jog after work.
