Well, it has been awhile since my last blog post. I apologize for the delay, but I think we were providing a little too much overkill on the updates. So myself, like Burmy, have decided to only post like once a week and provide a weekly review. I have heard from some people that they like the daily updates, but until I get a good sense of what is the best approach, I am going to post weekly.
Last week was pretty much about the same as the previous weeks. The big accomplishment came this last Sunday when my 5K training app decided that it was the right time to try a 20 minute run with no breaks. I powered through it and was able to complete the run pretty easily. I am feeling that my endurance level is up and that I am able to easily control my breathing which in turn is not making me as exhausted. I looked ahead to the next couple of weeks on the app and it looks like from here on out, it is just consecutive runs. The training ends at the end of July. So at that time, I will be able to easily complete a 5K.
As for the weights and overall power training, we have been doing the basic chest and back exercise from P90X, and Burmy and I took some time to work on arms. All that is becoming routine.
As for the overall weight loss/inch loss, I can say that I am only a few pounds away from being below 190. I have not been below 190 for probably a good 10+ years, so that in itself is a big accomplishment. On another note, I bought some new shorts last week and bought them a size smaller than I normally have, and they fit perfectly. I am also fitting into pants that were always a little difficult to wear, but now they are very comfortable. This thing is actually working.
We have been talking about buying a domain name for this site and hosting it ourselves so that we have a little more control over the content. We will keep you all posted as to what happens with that.
Hope everyone had a great fourth of July and we will talk to you all soon. Peace...John
