Friday Fitness Blogging


  • Weight = X-2
  • Change From Last Week = +2
  • Met Exercise Goal? No.
    Goal was fifteen minutes a day (walk/bike/swim) at least six days.
  • Current Exercise Goal = twenty minutes a day (walk/bike/swim) at least four days.
  • Kept food diary? No.

Ok. Enough is enough. I'm not just derailed from my exercise plan, I seem to be completely off of it. No excuses, I just can't seem to keep myself going. So I'm going to lower my expectations a bit until I can keep to the program again. Instead of six days, I'm going to require only four. I'm upping the time, but I was already well past twenty minutes on my average workout. I've started swimming once a week, which will cut into my exercise show viewing time, but the shows weren't enough to keep me coming back regularly anyway, so I shouldn't complain.

I haven't been able to keep up my food diary for some reason, but that's too important to dump. I may need to buy a notebook and start to actually write it down instead of relying on coming home to my computer and recording it in my electronic diary. If one method doesn't work, try another.

I'm adding some very low impact weight training to my program when I'm home. It's so low impact I can barely even stand to call it weight training. But those exercises, when added to my regular stationary bike or treadmill time, should help make me feel a bit better. And how I feel is the biggest concern.
