Not shopping for gym clothes or sneakers or anything, for a gym. I’m coming up on two years at Boom Fitness and while I like it, I don’t love it. So I decided to see what’s out there. Figured it can’t hurt to be a diligent shopper so I hit NYSC & Equinox Putting it [...]

no, not involving blogging more. I randomly have the best of intentions which then fade fast. Challenges of the activity variety. Back I mentioned a challenge that seemed interesting. Of course, I did nothing with it. Lately, I’ve been watching challenge and I decided if I didn’t join I wouldn’t do it. So I signed [...]

activity miles logged since I began tracking on MapMyFitness in April 2011. That’s pretty impressive. 104.3 of that was in July and I petered off in the fall when work was crazy but got back on track with 61.81 miles in December. I’m hoping to carry that motivation into 2012. Some additional information about that [...]

because really, I’ve killed a ton of brain cells on that this week, with no reward as of yet I’m so glad it’s football season, I just wish it was year-round. On the plus side, my gym is getting Direct TV which means NFL Network. WooHOO! Just like this summer where I began spending more [...]

This HIDEOUS photo on the shores of the Galilee or the main photo on my blog are almost exactly a year ago during the trip to Israel and Jordan. No idea what my weight was then. This was March 2010 at ~ 209 when I joined WW. This photo is today. With Saturday’s WI I’m [...]

So Saturday I said enough is enough – not using them on munchies. Saturday, I was good. Sunday, not so good. 36.5 points, most of which were on [...]

actually, 4.5 is not a good AP count for me for a weekend day when I have more time to spend at the gym, but I was so sore from yesterday that I wasn’t even sure what I could do – so this was better than nothing. I did 60m on the recumbent bike and [...]

no, those two are not connected. The scale did not attack me. First of a gajillion errands today was WI. Really wasn’t sure what to expect as I hadn’t been on the scale since Tuesday night the night after the Jolly Joe’s. I ate much better later in the week, but didn’t know if I [...]

WOW That’s last week’s 1.5 erased and 2.9 “new” pounds. I knew I’d been good this week but didn’t think I’d been that good. In updating my WPs used/APs earned chart this week I realized I’ve been looking at the wrong number. My biggest losses have come when I earned the most APs. It doesn’t [...]

WOW! That may be a first for me, at least since high school when I was playing soccer. Even that in my position as a striker or right full back wasn’t usually 60m straight. Wish I had the fitness and body now that I did then and thought was “fat”. But very proud of what [...]
