Not sure how it happened, but apparently, just by living this past week, I’ve lost 3 lbs. WOO!!! That’s some nice motivation to start off with, eh? 
Trying to figure out a way I can sync DailyBurn, this, twitter and facebook all together. I’m sure I can probably write a server-side script somewhere to do it, but no idea how.
Anyone have any ideas, and/or is familiar with any of these API’s?
After taking some time off due to closing on a home, unpacking said home, going on vacation, etc… I’m getting back into my fitness bit again.
I gained a bit of weight (about 6 lbs) over the course of these 2 months, but I joined a weight loss competition here at work, so I’m gonna be trying to burn it off.
Now, I just have to figure out *HOW*, as I don’t live in an apartment anymore with an easily accessible gym. Any ideas?
I DID IT! I STARTED LOSING WEIGHT!! YEEEUH BUDDY!!
I actually managed to get up this morning at 6am, too. It helped that the wife practically booted me from bed, but, you know. Went to the gym, did my morning cardio with her there which was really nice, said our goodbyes as she went to work, and then I saw the scale and thought to myself “seriously, if I still haven’t lost a single pound, something’s going wrong” and decided to give it another shot. Sure enough, TWELVE POUNDS have gone away! I danced into my clothes and all on the way to work.
After seeing that number, I looked at myself again, and realized that I am actually getting… well, leaner. My arms look more muscular and not filled with fat, my sides have shrunk a bit, my belly has recessed, my legs are toning… it’s hard to notice but, I can see it now, just a little.
Totally motivated now to keep going.
I could not, for the life of me, get my HR up today, unless I went full out. My legs were getting tired long before my heart and lungs. Is this unusual? I had to double my resistance and run as hard as I could for about 8 minutes before I made progress. Then I just… kept going. I ended up going over 1.3 miles and burnt more calories than usual, even though it wasn’t all from fat. But man, I was sweating like hell when I finished!
I think I’m going to by my co-worker’s old bike, once I move into a house. A nice morning bike ride would probably be a perfect way to burn some calories without an on-site gym. That, and it’ll let me explore the neighborhood, and see what’s around there.
Weee, progress!
