last gym day for a while on friday. did arms and back, then got on the stairmaster and started at level 18. had to bump it down to lvl 15 after a few minutes though. wasn't feeling strong.

on sunday played a round of disc golf at central park in santa clarita, then jogged the 2 miles back to the house. was very hot.

tuesday just a quick trip to the gym in between lectures and only did back/chest and leg presses

no more workouts all week but saturday and sunday threw frisbees  in ridiculous heat in La Mirada and jogged in between holes.

tried running with ilaria in the stroller this morning. she said she wanted to do it so i thought i'd see how far we could go before she got bored and wanted to come home. about a mile in she started asking if we were almost home, so it ended up a 2 mile run. oh well, worth a shot anyway. hopefully i can get to the gym tomorrow. had to take last week off due to a weird mystery sore throat but it's almost gone now.

oh yeah, the illness was a great weight-loss plan. down to about 175lbs on the scale this morning.

today was lat pulls, chest and back, then 30 min on the stairclimber -  aerobic workout level 12
more updates tomorrow

ran for the first time in a couple weeks today. was cruising along at ~9min miles until my right calf started to cramp again. this is getting ridiculous. i need to ride my bike more i think. that should get my calf the extension stretching it needs to really loosen up properly.

in other news, Coldstone has changed their hours. apparently they are only open until 9pm on M-Th. We were thwarted by that unexpected development yesterday, but tonight i got there just in time - 8:55pm. phew. it was tasty.

what's that you say? that's LIGHT ice cream? well sure i'll just eat that whole carton. yum.

um, yeah, about those more frequent posts...been kinda lazy, i mean busy. yeah that's it. too busy.

been doing a bit better on snacking until tonight. i was forced to eat a gigantic cookie and some cake. thanks valentine!

weight is hovering around 185 lb. exercise was steady until about a week ago when my right calf cramped up while running home from work. as soon as that is better i will start again. guess i gotta run more slowly cuz i'm so dang old. :(

still plan on doing pier to peak in sept. and maybe a marathon in oct. hope it happens.

new year - new weight loss plan

hey it's my birthday again! another delicious chocolate cake is in progress, then the holiday choctasm will finally be over. feel like i've been eating candy nonstop since turkey day.

weight topped out at 189.9 lbs this time. plan on being back to 175 soon, if i can get enough exercise. diet will most certainly improve going forward. more frequent updates to come.
