A friend of mine just started up a blog to keep track of/stay accountable for his weight loss efforts, and it made me think of how long! it’s been since I’ve posted. Well I’ve been busy, and whatever…I’m kinda lousy at staying regular!
First day back in the gym since…June, maybe? and I can definitely tell [...]

Sprint triathlon results!
By Alex in Exercise, GoalsHeather and I competed in our second Cornman Sprint Triathlon this morning, and it was pretty good. The weather didn’t fully cooperate, but there were just a few sprinkles here and there, nothing major. I didn’t feel nervous at all for this one–it was a known quantity, and I knew just what I had to [...]

A quickie – DO MOAR PULLUPS
By Alex in ExerciseJust wanted to share Jason Ferruggia’s excellent article on how to improve your pullups. This is something I’ve wanted to work on for some time. Dropping weight alone has helped me. I went from not being able to do one overhand pullup to being able to do four right now. My favorite tips:
Don’t go to [...]

A Milestone!!
By Alex in GoalsHowdy howdy folks, hope you’re having a great July and getting out to enjoy this gorgeous (minus the rain) weather! I’m writing today because, for one, I forgot to update over the 4th of July. Constant Reader, you know that my original goal set forth waaay back in the day was to hit 200 lbs. [...]

Weekends kill me
By Alex in GoalsSo, it’s been just over 5 weeks since I started PSMF, and I’m down about 20 lbs. That’s nice and all, but take a look at my chart (at the top) and you’ll see some pretty severe yo-yoing. If I could eliminate my weekend binges, I’d be down even more. It’s having to work the [...]

Tonight’s workout
By Alex in Exercise, GoalsIt’s the end of day 2, and I want to recap what I’ve been feeling, as well as share my workout from tonight. So far, I’ve felt pretty good. I am still urinating at an annoying frequency, but I attribute that to a combination of the diet and the fact that I’m drinking more water [...]

This is a test
By Alex in NutritionOkay, everyone. After much research and thought, I’m going to try an experiment for a few weeks to see what sort of results I get. I’ve read The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook before, and even gave it a half-hearted attempt back in the winter of 2008/2009. I gave up before I saw measurable results, partly [...]

SRSLY U GUYS
By Alex in Exercise, Goals, NutritionHey guys, I’m still here…I just haven’t had the best April. It’s been fraught with too many half-starts and nutritional shortcomings to mention. I am looking forward with a fresh face, however; I have been pretty active this week following my performance in the Drake Relays 8K.
Obviously, having never run the 8K before, I set [...]

Tonight’s workout
By Alex in ExerciseWell, I guess you wouldn’t call it a workout, per se, but with Heather at work, I figured today would finally be the time I could get to the weight room and test out my deadlift and clean & jerk! So, it went a little something like this:
Warmup: Medicine ball wall throws: 8lbsx50×10 ft (guesstimate) [...]

Your feet will love you
By Alex in GoalsWhile I don’t necessarily suggest going out and running around town barefoot like they do in this video, I wholeheartedly agree with what they’re saying. I’ve had my Vibram FiveFinger Sprints for about a year and a half now, and I am trying this year to live in them as much as possible. For example, [...]
