Well, it's official... midnight shifts and my being lazy have totally derailed my nutritional goals and weight loss.... it's depressing.

The power went out in my neighborhood this evening so before my shift started my wife and I had to actually converse and hang out together.!!!...!!!  During the conversation we both agreed that we felt like garbage and it probably was because we had stopped watching our food intake. I think we are going to have to recommit  to some kind of lifestyle, and not just a one month thing. I personally have a long way (50lbs at least) to go to reach my goals. My wife is a good weight but she wants to feel good and be healthy as well.

 

Good news though is that I got my push-ups and yoga in under the wire here at work!

Had a rousing game of ice hockey tonight, nothing like thor's 4 games in one week, but it was fun indeed.  I'm enjoying a Ninkasi ESB 22 oz. tonight, as I've kinda fallen off the wagon of late.  I haven't rewarded myself in a while due to the sore hip and missing all my workouts last week.  I worked out the last 2 days, so I am preemtively treating myself.  Off day tomorrow, and back at it Friday with another 6.2. 

Keep hitting it hard BDAS'ers.   Spring racing season will be upon us soon.

Prost!

Morning:

So, I woke up this morning and got ready for work only to realize as I walked through the kitchen that it was only 12:45.  I didn't know whether to laugh or cry... So after getting up a second time, I made my way to the gym and put in a tough 1000.  I just didn't have it today as I'm sure my times will show when I enter them later... But I burned the calories which will pay off tonight at the dinner my wife's school is holding for her and other teachers to thank them for years of service...

Short run tonight... fighting off the soreness in my left knee again...

I wonder who makes fun of who... you guys are both beastly!  Don't his feet get frostbitten?

This week has been progressing oddly for me.  I'm still adapting to the trainer road plans, and I'm not sure if it's too easy, too hard, or just right.  We'll see how time progresses.  My last swim and my last run were also just weak, but I think that's a byproduct of some stress, which should now be relieved.

Today I took, and passed, the Illinois real estate broker's exam, which is a nice little benefit.  I'm an attorney, so I don't have to take the classes, just the exam.  Long story short, when I buy a house, I will get to cut a commission check to myself.  I was probably over-stressing on it, but it's one less thing to worry about now.  

So now I can focus on house-shopping and triathlon more.

I hate it when that happens!  Good luck with your run tonight and reward yourself with a good dinner with the wife!  Don't suppose they will serve beer at the school dinner . . .

Burd - 2013-02-07 1:47 PM Back in the water today.  500 yards total.  I stopped for 30 seconds but no more than 60 seconds after each 25.  The endurance will come quicker than I think since the lengths were a million times easier than 2 days ago.  Biggest plus was not standing there for 10 minutes scared to death.  Who knows maybe it was the just the fact I know I'm not gonna drown and feel so much more confident.  Got a 3.29 mile walk in there also.  Can't wait for the knee to be better so I can run and add the bike.

short run in this am. right knee a little sore on the lateral aspect. not in the joint. I think this still may be part of my tight upper/lower legs and ITB. Suggestions from the runners in the group? I think I should probably try to do a p90x legs/back dvd to help build and stretch things. I think my glutes are not as strong as needed.

 

Keep strong everyone!

 

Jared, from a nutrition standpoint I think sometimes it is easier to think of addition instead of subtraction. Add healthy foods (veggies and fruits) in high quantities so that there is not so much room for the other stuff. If I do that I really don't feel like eating much other bad stuff.

Congrats on passing the exam and it being out of the way

I know you do the foam rolling Bob, but have you thought about finding a good Massage Therapist that can really dig into your legs?

Last midnight shift tonight! 

Really looking forward to getting back on a normal rotation and destroying a run to earn a Friday night reward!  Also next week my Mom is coming up for a visit with us ( I think mainly it is to see her Grand Daughter..... She is quite the draw) so that should allow some time off for some good workouts! 

Hope everyone's Friday goes well!
