after all these weeks of scraping together a blog, i finally found something to write about... or to be more accurate... i finally found something (worth while) to document... i think... but it will keep me busy, and keep my blog updated. win-win!
i've been riding my bike into work 2-3 times a week for the past month and a half or so. that's about 6.5 miles/35-40 minutes (both ways almost). in the mornings, i have a .8 to .9 of a mile climb through frick park from commercial street up to beechwood blvd. in the evenings, i have 3 climbs with an average of about .8 of a mile per each climb (greenfield ave., monitor st., commercial st.). my diet has been pretty good... very low fat, lots of water. not too, too many veggies but i'll change that. i have been slowly losing weight. i think i am losing body fat, but gaining muscle in my legs. i want to go the extra step and shed off as much body fat as i can, but cant do that successfully until i start lifting weights. i'm always ass-backwards when it comes to working out. i'll lift weights... but then i'll eat bad or just wont do any cardio. or i'll eat good one day... and not do anything else. you get the idea. well now that i ride my bike into work and get two decent cardio workouts per day, the rest is coming pretty easily... "the rest" being eating right and lifting...
lifting weights... lifting has always been sort of a problem for me because i'm not the most motivated person in the world. so to solve this problem i was looking into joining a gym. the first time i stepped back into a gym last week, i immediately remembered how much i HATE gyms! seriously! i settled on one i liked with the thought that, it's on the way home and if i'm paying THAT much money per month my ass will definitely be in the gym. so JUST as i was about to sign up... the day i was going to bike over and hate gyms for the next 3 months (with an initiation fee)... i jumped on google and randomly searched "ab workouts". i wanted to get a list of different exercises that i can do for 2 weeks at a time and blah, blah, blah. i wanted to start with abs because that's the body part i wanted to build the most. then i would have worked arms and chest. so as i was searching, i found this goofy titled workout (which, if i see results, i will post after week 6). and, to wrap up my thoughts, i had all the equipment at home (dumbbells, resistance ball, resistance band). so hear i go... 10+ weeks/3x a week of training, eating pretty good, and riding my bike! i'll document my progress here... so stay tuned. target date is 11/4
