I was ready to go only 30 minutes at the 23-minute mark. But I soldiered on.
I was ready to go only 45 minutes at the 32-minute mark. But this blog isn't called RenderingThePussy, so I kept going.
I was ready to stop at 60 minutes, but I hadn't kept the pace, and needed a couple of extra minutes to cross the 3500-revolution mark.

Yesterday's Workout

Here are the stats for my lame-ass elliptical performance:

33:12 minutes
628 calories
1879 revolutions

I did up the resistance to level 5, not that it's an excuse for my tired, brief performance.

Yesterday's Workout

Worked out ~63 minutes on level 10 of the Life Fitness elliptical at an unnamed resort on St. John, burning ~850 calories and covering 8 miles-or-so of ground if I had actually gotten off of the gerbil wheel and put foot to pavement.

Today, the beach beckoned and my calves were happy to oblige with a day off.

Today's Workout

63 minutes this morning on the LifeCycle elliptical at the Ritz-Carlton in USVI. Burned ~850 calories and traveled ~8.5 miles. Started at level 7 and pushed it up halfway through to level 8.

Then late this afternoon, I did another 30+ minutes at level 10, burning ~450 calories and traveling ~4+ miles.

Over the weekend, I ate six pieces of Popeye's spicy fried chicken in a single sitting, with no sides and no biscuits. Delicious.

I suspect that bit of overconsumption will affect my weigh-in this week. Also, weighing myself in on a different scale should affect my number for this week as well.

109 Kilograms

Although earlier this week, I weighed in at 235 lbs., I wanted to note on the blog that while I was in Thailand, I weighed myself at the Mandarin Oriental's gym.

So what did I weigh on the 22nd of January?

A hair over 109 kilograms, otherwise known as 240 lbs.

Just wanted to put that out there. That I was an even bigger fatass a mere two weeks ago.

Today's workout was abridged by a midday appointment.

Workout Goals

Today's workout goal consisted of surpassing three metrics on the elliptical:

1. 60 minutes exercising at resistance level 4 on the Pro-Form Space Saver 925.;
2. 3500 revolutions, to ensure I'm maintaining moving at a pace that keeps my heart rate elevated; and
3. 1000 calories burned, according to the elliptical's primitive computer.

I met this goal on Friday, and yesterday.

Today, I found a little extra juice at minute 59 and kept going until I passed 70 minutes, 4000+ revolutions, and 1180 calories burned.

And now I'm feeling a wee bit peckish.

The Groundhog Saw His Shadow...

So there's six more weeks of winter. Soon the sweaters and coats will be retired for the season. And there will be much fewer articles of clothing available to obscure my piggish proportions.

With the trip to Thailand and the couple of additional weeks off at home awaiting the start of a new work assignment, I've had ample opportunity to exercise. The goal is to get on the elliptical for at least an hour, and at least three days a week. I've done that for the last two weeks, and now weigh in at...

235 lbs.

Considering I started this blog a year ago, and left it to fester, let's see if I adhere to my modest goals and track some progress.
