Got in the 11k route in 2:03:05, five minutes slower than last time. I think the culprit is the shoes I bought. They are crap and are showing major wear after less than 15 miles. So I'll see if I can exchange them. None-the-less, I got in the walk and burned the calories.

Day 25 - AWO #11
EXERCISE: Stationary Bike
TIME: 20 min SPEED: 13.3 mph DISTANCE: 4.44 miles CALORIES: 132 kcal PEAK HR: 188 bpm Again, a very good workout. I tried to keep the pace closer to 13 mph today. I still hit the 10s, but possibly not quite as hard. My peak HR was back down below 190 bpm. |
Day 26 - LBWO #6
Reps / Planned Weight (lb) : Actual Reps / Actual Weight (lb) (Intensity)
LBWO
Backing down to 0 lb on the One-Leg Calf Raises was a good idea. I'm still not completing them well, but much closer. |
Walked the 11k course yesterday evening. The uphill initial half was a new low at 58:46, but my feet were really starting to hurt because the shoes I was trying were a size too big and so my total time was 1:01:11.

Day 27 - AWO #12
EXERCISE: Stationary Bike
TIME: 20 min SPEED: 13.5 mph DISTANCE: 4.50 miles CALORIES: 136 kcal PEAK HR: 182 bpm |
Reading through your endeavors here is inspiring me, I had a long walk this morning, 9,000 steps. Committed to minimum 30 minutes of something as the only way to keep BG down...see you in the journals...

I'm so glad to hear that. Now if only I could inspire Phoebes to start exercising. Last night she did give me permission to TRY to talk her into it, so that's a start.

Body Measurements
Took new body measurements today. Probably should put these over in my Gym Log, too. Date ... 05 SEP . 15 SEP . 21 SEP . 28 SEP Weight .. 252 .... 242 .... 239 .... 232 Neck ..... 16 ..... 16 ..... 16 ..... 16 Chest .... 48 ..... 47 ..... 46 ..... 46 Waist .... 50 ..... 48 ..... 47 ..... 47 Hips ..... 44 ..... 42 ..... 42 ..... 42 Thigh .... 25 ..... 24 ..... 24 ..... 24 Calf ..... 18 ..... 17 ..... 17.5 ... 17 Biceps ... 13 ..... 14 ..... 14 ..... 14 Wrist ..... 7 ...... 7 ...... 7 ...... 7 For comparison, here are stats from back in 2009 Date ... 15 MAR Weight .. 340 Neck ..... 18 Chest .... 54 Waist .... 58.5 Hips ..... 51.5 Thigh .... 31 Calf ..... 19 Biceps ... 17 Wrist ..... 7.5 Measurements were essentially unchanged from a week ago. |
Day 29 - UBWO #7
Reps / Planned Weight (lb) : Actual Reps / Actual Weight (lb) (Intensity)
UBWO
Initially I thought that this wasn't as good as the last time, but in comparing it directly I see that it is actually a tad bit better. |
Day 30 - AWO #13
EXERCISE: Stationary Bike
TIME: 20 min SPEED: 13.3 mph DISTANCE: 4.44 miles CALORIES: 135 kcal PEAK HR: 196 bpm Started with a resistance level of 4 instead of 2 and ended with a resistance level of 6 instead of 4. Peak heart rate was noticeably higher, even though I tried to keep the speed down close to 13 mph. It might be because of the lack of calories over the last week or perhaps I am overtraining a bit. We'll see what develops. |
Day 31 - LBWO #7
Reps / Planned Weight (lb) : Actual Reps / Actual Weight (lb) (Intensity)
LBWO
Coached Phoebe on her first workout, so the timings were well off and, as a result, I didn't break a sweat today whereas normally the LBWO gets me a moderate sweat. |
Day 32 - AWO #14
EXERCISE: Stationary Bike
TIME: 20 min SPEED: 12.1 mph DISTANCE: 4.04 miles CALORIES: 125 kcal PEAK HR: 177 bpm Slowed the target speed to 12 mph but raised the floors of the intervals from resistance level 4 to 6 to partially compensate. Was primarily interested to see what it did for my heart rate. As expected, it dropped somewhat and was lower than when I started at this speed but a lower resistance level floor, so I call that progress. |
Day 33 - UBWO #8
Reps / Planned Weight (lb) : Actual Reps / Actual Weight (lb) (Intensity)
UBWO
Overall, this is an improvement. I don't think I'll change anything yet, though. |
Day 34 - AWO #15
EXERCISE: Stationary Bike
TIME: 20 min SPEED: 12.8 mph DISTANCE: 4.24 miles CALORIES: 137 kcal PEAK HR: 181 bpm My natural pace was up at or above 13 mph most of the time, so I just went with it. I increased the intensity on the ramp-up of each interval just a bit. |
