It’s August 15th, time to check up on my own status. I’ve run between one and two miles for 13 out of the last 15 days, and the two days I skipped I ran at least two miles the day afterwards. So I’m pretty happy with my progress so far. The running […]

I’ve started jogging again, and have run for about a mile a day for about half the days of July. My goal for August is to run at least a mile every day in August. So far so good after two days.
I may reward myself with that new Nike + iPod thing if […]

Yes, I am a pathetic health blogger. I am currently at, let’s see… 213 lbs. It’s officially spring so I can no longer blame the wet and cold on my sedentary lifestyle. If I didn’t have a dog I’d probably not even walk my 1/2-mile a day.

As expected, Thanksgiving was not kind to my waistline. But there will be no family visiting for Christmas, so I get a chance to get back on track. It is almost January 1st, the Day For Deluding Yourself. I hate resolutions. Getting healthy has been a battle I’ve been losing, mostly […]

This week is going to be a food-fest, I can tell you that. Last week was pretty blah, probably burned off some calories cleaning out the house so the parents don’t think we’re living in filth. My prediction for next Sunday: 210 lb. Honey-glazed spiral ham, you will be the end […]

(Let’s pretend it’s Sunday) Well, I didn’t go to the pool. Is it bad that the only reason I feel guilty is that I said I wanted to in this blog? Hmm… I lost a pound anyways, and I think it’s really due to me running around campus. Although there is […]

Hmmm… I wonder where those 4 lbs went. At least I got rid of most of the leftover candy in the house to trick-or-treaters. I will use the indoor pool this week. I will use the indoor pool this week. I will use the indoor pool this week.

206! My new low! Considering my exercise regimen currently consists of running from class to student activites to office hours and back to class, that’s not too bad. I still haven’t used my newly purchased gym membership… I guess it didn’t cost enough to make me not want to waste the money? […]

I did weigh myself on Sunday, and stayed at 209 lbs. I went to the university rec center and signed myself up for their gym with indoor pool. It was a great deal at $25 per term, and I get a tiny little locker. I could have paid more for a bigger […]

(Okay, it’s Monday, so sue me.) I’ve been running around so much this week, I think I skipped a few meals. Maybe that’s how I lost a pound? ‘Cause I definitely didn’t do any gym stuff! I am going to sign up at gym this week, and set up a minimum lap swim schedule […]
