More Excuses and another apology

Hi readers (if i have any of you left ;)) Sorry about the lack of updates. I'm ashamed to say i have not done my exercise since my last post, a friend from out of state was up and we had other things going. Tomorrow i'm going to re-start and get back on track...

Still having blogger issues, think its on my end, day 15 update

Ok folks, i know its been real sporadic of late, its a combo of being busy and having login trouble with Blogger. I think the login trouble is on my end, dunno yet though.

forgot to weigh myself this morning before eating, so i decided to not weigh and throw off the stats. Will do it tomorrow.

also did 2 rounds of aerobics on top of my strength to make up for the lack of exercise last week.

I'll try and get things more regular, hang in there.

Wii Fit - Day 14

Ok, i know updates were a bit sporadic lately, but here we go.

Week three.

again started with strength training. I can tell that after missing those few days, it wasn't my strength that suffered, it was my balance.

I was wobbling and falling all over the place.

I have some friends coming up, so strength training is all i have time for this morning. Will do the aerobics and yoga this evening.

See you then

Wii Fit - End of Week 2

sorry for the lack of posts folks, for some reason i was having trouble logging into Blogger.

First off, the data:

Total Workout time: 2 hours 24 minutes

Starting BMI: 37.47 - Obese
Starting Weight: 267.6 pounds

End of Week 2 Data
Week 2 BMI: 36.82 - Obese
Week 2 Weight: 263 pounds

Change in BMI: -.65
Change in Weight: -4.6

WOW. It does work. Like i said earlier, this is the longest that i've stuck with an exercise routine since high school.

At this point, I think its important to remind everyone, i have NOT changed my eating habits. I'm not dieting. I'm exercising. And in 2 weeks, doing nothing but exercising at LEAST 30 minutes a day has netted me almost a 5 pound loss and almost a full point loss of BMI.

I'm heading out for the day, so i'll give a more complete update this evening.

A little more on the smoke here

http://www.chicoer.com/news/ci_9697483

On Wednesday, an air-quality alert was issued stating that conditions continued to be unhealthy in Butte County and that there were "localized areas of hazardous air-quality conditions."

The alert was issued jointly by two county agencies: the Air Quality Management District and the Department of Public Health.

It said that on Wednesday, the air quality index was expected

to reach 250, which means the air would be very unhealthy for everyone. On Tuesday, the index reached 233.

When the index is between 151 and 200, the air is unhealthy for everyone. Between 201 and 300, it is very unhealthy, and between 301 and 500, it is hazardous.

The alert recommended that people stay indoors with windows and doors closed, that they run air conditioners on the "recirculate" setting, and that they not run swamp coolers. They should consider bringing pets inside the house to protect them from the smoke, the alert said.

No update today :(

Sorry guys and gals, still suffering from extreme smoke in these parts. It looks like a foggy December day here, but its hot like June. In short, its miserable.

Will get back at it just as soon as possible.

No Evening Update Today :(

Due to the heavy smoke from the nor-cal wildfires, coupled with me being out in it and breathing it all day, my asthma has been acting up and my chest is too tight for heavy activity. I'll be doing a weekend exercise to make up for it.

Thanks all, see you tomorrow.

Wii Fit - Day 10 Part 1

Way late for work this morning folks, but i have a responsibility here!

BMI: 37.31 - Obese
Weight: 266.2

Wii Fit - Day 9 Part 2

Total Workout Time: 38 minutes (not correct, something had to have happened, because i watched the clock, i worked out for longer than this..but the rules state that i have to report what the Wii says)

Good evening my dedicated readers :)

Decided to switch it up tonight, went with strength training first, then aerobics, then Yoga...

Right off the bat I noticed an improvement in my ability to do the strength exercises because i was not tired out from the aerobics.

Setting new personal bests at every turn here. I think this is because i'm fresh for the strength training.

I managed to hit 100% on the rowing squats today, but the motion feels so unnatural and i fell off the board twice. I'll keep practicing it.

Have i mentioned recently that i still hate planks? Ok, good. Although, i have to note that today it was much easier. Again, all these "easier" results are more likely from the change in routine, rather than a change in muscle development.

I'm noticing too that a lot of these strength exercises can be used with free weights when the time comes. This even further increases the versatility of the software.

unlocked the final strenght exercise, the single arm stand.. WOW thats hard. I mean, hard as in WHOO this is the most out of breath i've been all week.

The single arm stand feels more like aerobics than strength.

Aerobics

I really think this is the way to go, Strength then Aerobics, then Yoga. I'm not nearlty as out of breath and am able to put more of myself into the aerobics and the strength training than vice versa.

Still having difficulties with the balance board and the step aerobics programs. Very frustrating. And very jarring when the workout stops and lets you know that that you did it wrong.

Rhythm Boxing is fast becoming my favorite. Every time i start throwing punches, i hear "ITS THE EYE OF THE TIGER ITS THE THRILL OF THE FIGHT!"

Rocky Balboa I aint though...YET!

LOL

Thanks for reading folks, and hey, do me a favor, if you guys enjoy this blog, go ahead and give it a Digg down at the bottom of the page.

Thanks all! see you tomorrow!
