Skywalker Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I know I always say that I fell off the internet, but this time I really did. Three days with no land line = no adsl. Even my mobile data was off line due to an accidental 'kept my computer hot spotted to my phone' mid- month.I'm not meeting many of my goals but I do feel as if I am turning around the horrendous start to the year.Food is basically good. A little high in carbs but I've cut out a lot of the pure junk.I've mostly tracked except the past few days.Excercise - zip I have a date with the 'tan' on Saturday but this is a misely 3.something km (lap of the botanical gardens for the out of towners).I am getting ready to book (ie pay for) the big trip next January so I am using this to get me moving again along with some hiking mags (which are really just another procrastination tool )Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Skywalker Progress woot: Skywalker's success Character Profile: Skywalker Blog: Just Get Moving Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Fonzico Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Haha whether collecting underpants or magazines, the result is the same! Glad to hear you're alive though And doing well with food - damn, that's a roller coaster sometimes, isn't it? Have fun on your "misely" walk!

Skywalker Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'll park more than 200 meters away.If I was being really enthusiastic I'd ride in (not likely to happen).I'm catching up with my SIL for the tan - she is just getting into walking and I have a love of the 'iconic' hence doing the Milford Track, rather than the many equal great walks in NZ.Tell you what, I'll throw my bike in the car and do a lap of Yarra boulevard - one if my training rides I did this time last year.

I had a half-hearted workout session today too, but am determined to ramp it up next time, for sure.

Hiroro Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 How did your bike commute go?...how far is it? (Do you have flashy lights?) Do you have a rearview mirror? Sorry 'bout all the questions, I'm still feeling out the whole bike-to-work idea and am so curious about other people's experiences. #1 #2 #3 #3.1 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #13.5 #14 #15 #16 # 17 #18 #19 #20 #21 Current Challenge Battle Log Level 18 Pixie Ranger Link to post
Skywalker Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's 24km to work - so a bit further than most peoples commute and I'm not that quick so I allow 2 hours each way (to get changed as well).I have front and rear lights and a helmet light (good for seeing the bike computer). Most of my trip is on bike tracks. I could road commute but it would be more stressful, so I spend longer but don't have to worry about traffic.Commute done on Tuesday, Wednesday I caught up with some old school friends, Thursday the same gym session so back to a normal excercise routine. Steps are getting regularly around 3,000 but I haven't had the one big walk day yet.Food is OK but not awesome. I need to ramp this up big time. I haven't been logging so it's back to it in Monday.Lunch tomorrow is left over teriyaki beef stir fry and I have two salad lunches per packed.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD 1 Skywalker Progress woot: Skywalker's success Character Profile: Skywalker Blog: Just Get Moving Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Skywalker Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've revisited my actual goals:Good snack choices today - fruit nuts with two squares of dark chocolate.I'm starting a biscuit free count +1Yesterday I managed a 5,000 step day. I haven't checked today but I expect it would be a 3,000 day from my activity.I'm restarting the Journalling app, but I haven't found it overly useful/inspiring but I should keep it up till the end of the challenge. I've done this most days at least once per day.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Skywalker Progress woot: Skywalker's success Character Profile: Skywalker Blog: Just Get Moving Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Hiroro Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for the commuting update! That's definitely far enough to count as a workout, a 2hr bike commute is impressive #1 #2 #3 #3.1 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #13.5 #14 #15 #16 # 17 #18 #19 #20 #21 Current Challenge Battle Log Level 18 Pixie Ranger Link to post

Skywalker Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 +4 day biscuit free. Of the last three days - 1 bad snack choices, 2 days good.I'm feeling that I'm just getting back into the good eating routine. Hopefully that's building momentum.I'm regularly getting 3,000 - 4,000 steps so I need to push towards 5,000. I am in awe of the 10,000+ steppers it is as much about time as motivation.I've been using the Journalling app but been.

Hiroro Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Clearly you NEED one of these: hehe.
