Training has been going pretty well except for the fact that I've ran straight into the "proverbial wall!" I'm stuck at 203-205 pounds. I know work and nutrition are my biggest enemies to gaining those last few pounds of muscle I'm looking for. The schedules in retail are not condusive ...read more

Hey all! I'm back and am planning to post quite a bit more and with more frequency!! As some of you know, I have been rehabbing a bad back which took two fusion surgeries to fix. Things are slowly getting better and I'm getting back to a regular gym schedule. I'm putting on a decent amount of muscle ...read more

Overall my training has been going fairly well. I know my running has improved but I still need to work on my pool fitness. You dont realize how hard it is to keep a steady breathing pattern while swimming especially if it's been awhile since you have trained in a pool! Things are starting to improve ...read more

Ok, where do I start? I do need to write something everyday rather than try and sum up the week! It's hard to remember everything... I picked up my training last week because I made it official with my entry into the Pacific Grove Sprint Triathlon. Believe it or not but I was actually a bit ...read more

Greg and I went and trained for the Pacific Grove Triathalon early Saturday morning. We scoped out the course and did the four bike laps. The weather was cold and overcast with a bit of moisture in the air which made me extremely glad I decided to pack that extra long-sleeved shirt! Greg ...read more

It's been a little while since I've blogged here but I figured it was about time to get back into the swing of things! I graduated from college with a marketing degree last November and have been searching for a full-time position since. I figured it would take some time to find a new job but I ...read more

The drive to Arizona took about 10 hours and it was actually relaxing. The weather here is quite a bit cooler and it actually snowed. It wasn't a whole lot and it didn't stick but it was cool to see. It's good to get away and see my family for awhile. My little sister is too cute and she has been ...read more

Finally! The weekend is here! It was a busy week and I have no plans but it will be nice to relax a bit. I'm going to get back in the gym this weekend and test out my ribs. I can't believe they still hurt. They're getting better but it still hurts to cough or sneeze. The only other thing I want ...read more

Today the rain finally came. I'm not a big fan of rain but, at least, it's warmer and they say say we need it. I can't wait for summer! I had to laugh after watching the sports highlights last night. The Sharks beat the Ducks in the final minutes 3-2. I'm starting to wonder if I am bad luck to the ...read more

Unfortunately the Sharks lost but at least it was an exciting game. The score ended up being 7-4, which is actually a very high scoring game in hockey. It's like a football score being 49-42 or a baseball game being 15-12. You get the picture.. The Anaheim Ducks were the better team and they looked like ...read more

So far it's been a quiet weekend. Then again it's only Saturday afternoon. The Super Bowl should be good tomorrow but it's hard to get excited about the teams that are playing. Neither one is one of my favorites. It should be a good game though. The ribs are doing better. The hardest part is the ...read more

It's tough not being able to go to the gym! There is no way I will be able to stay out of the gym for 4-6 weeks though. I've been walking, which is better than nothing, but if I kick up my heart rate at all it goes right to the injury area. The good thing is it is getting better each morning and with ...read more

After a few health issues, I'm back in the game again and should be around quite a bit more. Greg and I went to Hollister and rode motocross yesterday. I had a blast! Unfortunately I ended with my first decent crash and went over the handlebars at the end of the day. Anyway, I busted up my ribs ...read more

While Greg and Debbie are away, I will continue to do my shoulder rehab work until fully healed. Greg's strength program will begin next Monday and should be pretty successful. I plan on adding supplements and adjusting his diet as we go along. The "Inwithfitness" web site is coming along ...read more

New years day 2007. Wow! The time sure does fly... Today was a relaxing day and was spent watching the college bowl games. USC was able to beat Michigan pretty easily and Boise State is beating Oklahoma going into the fourth quarter(28-20). Tomorrow is the first day of Greg and I's new strength ...read more

As of January 2007, Greg and I's workout will change to a more heavy-based lifting routine. The goal is to hit each muscle group twice a week with cardio work thrown in at least four times weekly.  For example, day one would consist of Chest and Triceps. Three to four solid exercises per bodypart ...read more
