Yes I am late again

Well I wanted to post some stuff on Monday and then again yesterday but as you can see it is now Wednesday and I am just getting my act together and posting now.

So I'll start with what I wanted to post on Monday. Monday's are becoming my check up day. It is the day that I weight myself and check my heart rate and all that exciting stuff, so here are the results of that.

Weight: 246 lbs that is now 9 lbs that I have lost. Not bad for two weeks of training, but I am sure how hard I have been working at work has something to do with it. Not to mention the diet that my girlfriend has me following.

Resting heart rate: 60 that hasn't changed and probably won't for awhile.

Body fat: 28.5 so that is .6% that I am down. I can deal with that.

Now on to Tuesdays entry. Did a 250M swim that went really well. Starting to feel a little stronger in the water which is nice. Really starting to follow my training plan for my water work. I skipped ahead and it looks like it really makes sense and ramps up at the right time. Just need to figure out how to kick or I am toast.

My run went really well too. Did 3.2 Km in 20 minutes. I'm pretty happy with that, especially considering I did that right after my swim. On days that I swim and then run I really have to stretch my calves quickly before I run or else I get a really nasty knot in each of them about a minute into my run. Ran on the track at Kinsmen and it wasn't really busy so it made for a great run. Over all I am really happy with all my training.

As for today, I went for a really nice 50 minute walk with my girlfriend. It was really nice. Winter is slowly starting to let go here so it was nice to just get out for an evening walk without having to put on 20 layers of clothes so you do freeze to death. Was suppose to do a 10 Km ride tonight and I might make that up somewhere this week but I am sure that all in all the walk was good for me too.

Work this week has been very labour intense so I am sure that is helping to my overall training. I try to remember when I am working hard that it is just exercise and that it is only helping me to obtain my fitness goals. Ya I know it doesn't really help but it sounds good!

Have a great night and a fantastic day tomorrow.
