friday morning….

I was out walking this morning but cut it short after 20 minutes 'cause it was cold ! I made up for it though by walking the halls and stairs in our building. We have a fairly large 3-story building; so walking the halls and alternating the stairs on each end for 15 minutes was …

physical activity and diabetes….

A lack of daily physical activity can lead to obesity, a major factor in developing type 2 diabetes - stand up and step away from the computer ! That is something I need to be constantly vigilante to make sure I get enough exercise. From what I read I can see I'm not alone.

fitness note….

I'm still working on my long term loose weight and improve health project; lately most of my exercise has been walking. I suppose the bike rides are over 'til sometime next spring. I checked my weight today and I'm still on track having lost another 2 lbs since last time I checked. I've lost a …

Yikes I really blew my diet today !

Yikes I really blew my diet today ! I had a deluxe breakfast at MD's and for supper we had pizza and various other items. The deluxe breakfast is 1,100 calories and I guestimate the other stuff to be at least a 1,000. Damn I better not do that again for a good long while …

appointment with the Dietician

I had my appointment with the Dietician this afternoon. I didn't gain any weight nor did I loose any.  We discussed my eating and exercise behaviors and concluded that I need to cut back on the snacks; especially at work. I took my own BP on a do-it-yourself machine and was pleased to see some …

notes….

Slow day at work; I finished a couple spreadsheets and now my pile is empty unless I do some filing.  I will leave early today because I have an appointment with the Dietician; guess I picked a good day for that. I'm hoping I didn't gain any weight 'cause I have been a bit lax …

sunday notes….

After church this morning I did some maintenance on my Google bookmarks. Then I went outside and cut the grass for 90 minutes; a whopping 882 calories ! Now I'm a right tired old dog, but I could go out and have a milkshake and cookies and still come out ahead. Not likely though, I …

tuesday afternoon back at work….

I enjoyed my 3-day weekend, now I'm back toiling away on spreadsheets. Yesterday we did a 60 minute bike ride in the park and then to I-HOP for breakfast. Today I walked 30 minutes before work, again 30 minutes for lunch, and will meet Sweetous for another bike ride after work...

friday evening…

Yikes, I am tired ! We went bike riding after work and did a more rigorous course than we had been. I bet I will be sore in the morning. I will just relax now and do some web surfing...

thursday evening….

This afternoon I had an appointment with the Dietitian at NNMC. It went very well; according to her scale I lost 7 more pounds: from 224 to 217 ! So I am right pleased with that. Things were slow at work and tomorrow is Friday. Hopefully someone won't give me a huge mess that they …

wednesday morning…

We went bike riding in the park yesterday; it was HOT ! I had also walked 30 minutes in the morning and again at lunch. So, this morning I am tired 'cause I had not rode my bike in a couple weeks. This morning is a very nice and cool, perfect day to walk but …

Minimalist Fitness: How to Get In Lean Shape With Little or No Equipment | Zen Habits - great article about exercise; reminds me of the routines we did when I was in Army basic training. I do a lot of walking and bike riding now; I should add some push-ups to the mix. First I'll …

....just finished 45 minutes of cutting the grass ! I did very well today with exercise and diet; well under my calorie quota and over 60 minutes of physical exercise. Bravo !

I slept late this morning…

I slept late this morning 'cause I was up too late last night wasting time on the internet. I was feeling lazy but Sweetous called me from her office and reminded me that we planned a bike ride today. I was feeling too lazy for that but I had agreed to it yesterday; so we …

A busy day

A busy day; up early to goto church and then we took the dogs walking in the park. So we all got some exercise today. When we finished the walk Sweetous went shopping with LB and I went to Wal-Mart to buy bottled waters. Now I am in the process of reinstalling XP on Mike's …

on the front porch watching the rain

I'm on the front porch watching the rain. It rained earlier today while I was in BN in Frederick and now it's raining some more. Sweetous had called me to go bike riding when I was at BN, so I drove home and we went riding in the park. I was concerned that I was …

We had our Bible study small group…

We had our Bible study small group last night and it was past  10:00 when I went to bed ! So, I am tired  and Sweetous wants to ride bikes this afternoon. I'm also very busy at work today and this past week. So, I'm not sure how well I will do riding bike today; …

sunday recap….

I'm out on the porch sitting watching a storm come in; looks like it will be a while though. So I'll sit out here and read a while. It's been a busy weekend with a grocery run to Wal-Mart Friday evening and bike rides over an hour for both yesterday and today. We also went …

Down 3 lbs…

I checked my weight this morning: 217 lbs. Down 3 lbs from last time for a total loss of 24 lbs since March 25th ! I'm pleased that I am continuing to losse, but it is a slow process. Of course, it is really a life long project; without constant vigilance it will come back …

tired now…..

Sweetous and I rode our bikes in the park for 60 minutes. Now, I'm tired as dog. It's storming now, so it's good we got finished when we did.
