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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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, [...]

By Alex in GoalsHere are side-by-side comparisons for your (and my) viewing pleasure!
58 more days until the Turbulence Training Transformation contest is over. On track to meet my 200 lb. goal by July 4th. Life is pretty good. Going to allow myself a fun reward meal at the Super Bowl on Sunday, but I think I will try [...]

By Alex in Exercise, GoalsHi folks! Just wanted to touch base with you all again and see how you’re doing. I’m feeling stronger every day, and the results are finally appearing in the mirror. Now, after a pretty great start, my weight loss has dropped back to more reasonable levels, but I’m still shooting for 240 by Sunday. That [...]
