New Workout

Sorry it has been a while.  I was on vacation in Las Vegas. Our yearly, no kids allow trip.  I managed to lose weight while on vacation.  I tried something new.  I ran outside.  on real concrete.  I was able to see something other than a a screen on a treadmill.

Google told me it was a mile one way.  But I think it lied and it was really a mile round trip.  My shins were seriously sore  afterwards.  I should have wore my new shoes.  A mile on a treadmill feels like it takes longer than when out and about.  My last posting showed some sight I saw while running.  

TRX WORKOUT

Earlier this week, I got my workout for the next 2 weeks.  This new workout includes using TRX Straps.  I think the picture says it all.  I am surprised I have the strength to type this.  

My first run, Las Vegas style

Today was my first run that did not involve a tread mill.  I ran down Fremount street.  Google map said it was a 1.9 run one way.  I think it was really 1 mile round trip.  It was tough put I did it. It was nice to see something while running that was not a screen on a treadmill.  

Some of the thing I saw while running

Vacation workout.

For those who follow me on Facebook knows I hate morning workouts.  I have set a goal of working out every morning while on vacation. I may even try a morning run.  

When trying is just not good enough

I returned back to the steps and rowing today.  I think it is time to mix some of my earlier workouts with my new ones .

This was prompted by a statement I keep  Getting told.  "We'll at least you are here and trying,". I don't want to be known at the guy who is just here.  I want to be the guy who pushed past trying.  I want to be the guy who did it.  

So if I plan on 3 sets, I am going to do 4 sets.  If I think I can do another push up. I am going to do two more.  

It's time to stop just showing up.  

I'm Not a Runner

This Nike Commercial made me laugh, yet I related to it.  I hope you enjoy.

The best 3 pounds I ever lost

After struggling to jump start the weight lost, it started.  I lost 3 pounds.  The best 3 pounds I have ever lost.  I have been working hard at the gym. I noticed the change came when I buckled down on breakfast again and increased my water.

 I am one pants size away from being out of big and tall. Today was the first time in I don't know how long.  I was able to buy shorts with a 44 waist.  

Burn Baby Burn

I need to burn extra 1100 calories a day just to lose 2 pounds a week.  My 45 workouts averages about between 500- 600 calories.  I need to find another 600 to burn.  Any ideas?
