Monday Baby

Okay so I promised to get back to blogging...and actually working out! So here goes.

Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: 3 hard boiled eggs and V8
Dinner: Green beans, summer sausage slices

Workout: strength training and 30 minutes on the bike

Catching Up

So I have a couple of weeks until my first race and I have been a bad boy. I have fallen off the workout wagon. It's not as though I have not worked out at all...but certainly not consistently...and the diet has been bad.

Today is Sunday and I didn't feel like working or working out. So I decided to kill two birds with one stone and I ran to work. After a bit of work I ran most of the way home!

My guess is I ran between 4 and 5 miles. It's not nothing...but I am not in the shape I need to be in!

Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: 2 ham sandwiches
Snack: Salad with nuts and bacon bits
Dinner: Pizza

What? The NCAA was on!

Saturday March 22nd

Breakfast: Coffee (need to get some more protein here)
Lunch: Double cheesebruger and salad with water
Dinner:

Workout: Some minimal strength/resistance training and 35 minutes on the bike.

Friday March 21

So it's been quite a while since a post...my bad. I must admit I fell off the horse with the vacation. I still worked out some...but my diet was atrocious!

On Friday I started tracking again!

Breakfast: Coffee and a bowl of Lucky Charms (I got about half sick on the sugar).
Lunch: Steak fahita and water
Dinner: Pizza and several beers.

Workout: I did some strength training and 30 minutes on the bike

Saturday

Okay...so vacation is really starting now. It's warm and we are here.

Breakfast: Eggs, bacon and potatos
Lunch: No lunch...big breakfast
Dinner: At Bubba Gumps! Steak, shrimp and potato..it was really good!

Drinks...and plenty of them!

Workout: I ran for 4 miles on the beach today and have the sun burn to prove it!

Friday...travel day

So today is officially the first day of vacation...but mostly we traveled.

Breafast: Eggs, bacon, toast, fruit
Lunch: Fried Ziti and a wrap
Dinner: Fried appetizers...not good...and pizza for dinner

My exercise today included lifting luggage and walking through airports! It was a cold one when we got to florida!

Thursday

Trade show day...we will be traveling to Cleveland and walking a show.

Breakfast: Breakfast sandwich and coffee
Lunch: Two cheeseburgers
Dinner: 2 chicken/steak fahitas

Wednesday

Breakfast: Coffee and 1 hardboiled egg
Lunch: Chicken, potato, green beans
Dinner: Loi Loi Pasta with shrimp

drinking a lot of water

Today was a day of rest on the work out scene.

Tuesday

Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: Double Cheesburger and salad with no dressing
Dinner: Chicken Breast, Asparagus, Broccoli and rice

Shoveled some snow today.

Lifted weights (small cycle at kids america including, bench press, fly, shoulder press, curls, tri ext., abs, and some back and ab work)

Ran 4 miles

Post work-out I weighed in at 165. This is the lightest I have been in a while. I need to set a goal weight...but 165 is pretty decent.

Monday

Slept pretty well last night...likely got 8 hours. As it continues to snow today, it makes it tough to want to ride a bike outside!

Breakfast: Coffee and two hardboiled eggs
Lunch: Grilled Chicken salad with italian dressing (it was fun to eat with a spork!)
Dinner: 2 slices of pizza and later a small container of leftover pasta
Water: filled the Power Jug (holds 64 oz) and am drinking from that.

Aerobic Activity:

Anaerobic Activity: short burst of snow shoveling...just about way tired of that!

My first race

My first race of the season is scheduled for April 19th. It is the Miami University Triathlon. It's a short early season Triathlon. I feel pretty good about the bike and the run...but really need to get some time in the pool!

I hope to do 2 triathlons this year, but have yet to set a goal for other races. I am open to suggestions!

Beginning the training blog

Though I did this a while ago, I thought the time was now to recreate my training blog. This is a place where I can keep track of my training, diet, sleep, etc. and try to maintain my goals.

I have a race coming up in April and I would like to add a few more to the calendar.

Please feel free to comment when you think I am doing well...and when I dogging it. The things I hope to keep track of are:

Breakfast: Coffee and 1/2 banana
Lunch: Big helpings of Pasta shells with marinara and meat
Dinner: Pizza at The Yard with a couple of beers
Snacks:

Aerobic Activity: Took a run of about 2 miles on the snowy streets of Coshocton

Anaerobic Activity: Lots of snow shoveling! Update...door bell rang at 9:30pm and someone was stuck in the snow at the end of the street. So I went out and dug them out!

Sleep: 8 hours last night

And I will try to set goals and track race stuff as well.
