By the Numbers

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

One of the things I need to do in order to become healthier is to lose some of the fat I’m carrying and build up muscle. A person might lose one pound of fat a week by burning 500 calories a day less than needed (3500 calories burned = 1 pound of fat lost). The […]

Off Track

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

My PAD Project is off track by nineteen days (I tore up some of what I wrote) and I’ve got only three pages at the moment. I’ve got a bit of catching up to do!
The good news is that I’ve also started resurrecting an old romance manuscript that I wrote way back when I […]

Whiney

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

I fell quickly back into the “I’m too tired”to walk when I get home from work routine and I won’t be logging any progress in time or distance for the past two days. I haven’t done anything truly physical to train since Monday - no stairs at work and no walk around the neighborhood.
The difference […]

Breaking Away

Day two of training - back to work…
Now I need to figure out how I’m going to work out and get through my work day. The experiment for today is to walk that same 1.68 miles as yesterday after an eight-hour day at the desk. I’m also going to attempt to climb the six flights […]

The PAD Project 2006

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Since I haven’t written anything regularly for for quite some time, I’ve set myself a goal of writing at least one page per day for an entire year (365 pages total) to see what happens - I’m calling this The PAD (Page a Day) Project 2006. I really enjoy writing and would like to […]

Nervous Nellie

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Today is the day I plan to start my “training” regimen and I’m going to run my first race on September 30, 2006. I’ve chosen the X-Terra 5K (3.107 miles) Scramble at Lake Tahoe as my inaugural competition: https://www.xterraplanet.com/races/registration/index.cfm?race_id=407&CFID=946945&CFTOKEN=86098281 and I’ve just registered. Now I’m nervous!
At this time, I’m weighing in at 211.5 pounds and […]

The Road to Fifty

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

No excuses and no explanations as to why I left such a large gap between my first post and this one. Suffice it to say, I’m here now and I plan to post on this blog as often as possible with my progress on the Road to Fifty.

Today is the third day of 2006 and […]
