Library and Back

We went on a bike ride after work. We went to the library an ate our fruit at the gazebo. Morgan did a great job leading us. She was going about 15 mph.

What a wimp I am..

I was on my rollers the first time in years but even then I have a bar that the front fork connects where the front wheel would be. It has been a long time since I have ridden the rollers with out it. I am going to take a spin (pun) at riding them the correct way.. Here is what it should look like.. (obviously this is not me)

January 3rd Workout #003-07

Well I got my butt to the gym this morning. It was nautilus today. So I went and did 10 minutes on the arc trainer, all of the nautilus machines in my routine and 7 minutes on the stair climber to finish out the hour. I then sat in the steam room for a few minutes.. I really enjoy doing that after working out just to relax for a few minutes.. I have 3500 steps already this morning.. Morgan and I will probably go for a walk tonight so I can get in the 10,000 for the day..

January 2nd Workout #002-07

It was actually nice getting back to the routine of going to work. I didn't feel like going to the gym this morning. I mean I drove there and kept going and drove to work. I was able to go after work.. I did 10 minutes on the Versa climber, then 30 minutes on the Arc trainer and lastly 20 minutes on the stair climber. I have a month and a day before the race up the galleria building. I had 10,128 steps on my pedometer for the day. .Not bad.. I have already dropped a couple of pounds..

January 1st Workout 001-07 & Fitness Goals

Well it is the start of a new year. Being that I failed on all of my goals for last year I had to think why this happened.. I could use a lot of excuses, such as being injured for 5 weeks, But here are my thoughts..
1. I was not accountable because I stopped writing it down. If no one knows then nobody can say anything. So I will be blogging every day. 2. My goals were set too long, meaning that I thought I could catch up. I didn't have any short term goals. 3. They were not specific enough..
So here it goes..

1. Cycling - To have over 1200 miles
1.a To be out on my bicycles at least 2 times a month in the winter months.
1.b To do the century ride. Hopefully it will be the Tour De Cure in June.
1.c To do at least 3 night rides

2. Weight - to be 190 or less.
2.a To use FitDay again to track what I eat. Again if it is not written down I am not tracking it.

3. Steps - to walk over 3,000,000 foot steps this year (approximately 250,000 per month). It is recommended that you take 10,000 steps a day. I will include Cycling and spin classes (the pedometer should work if not I will need to adjust this or factor in the approximant steps by average cadence and time).

4. Workouts - over 300 workouts of 1/2 hour at a time (walking for exercise is included).
4.a - Take over 70 spin classes this year.
4.b - Try to make each workout to be at least an hour.

Workout 001-07 Kim, Morgan and I went to the park to walk. They walked for about a half hour then took the car home. I continued to walk the all purpose trail and then walked back home. The number of steps for the day is 10, 854.
