As I mentioned in the comments of yesterday's fitness post, my last two weeks have been fairly anomalous in terms of my diet. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 3 April 2013, Calorie Counting

WGOM Fitness: 26 March 2013, Under 200
This morning I stepped onto the scale and I was under 200 pounds for the first time in 3+ years. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 26 March 2013, Under 200
WGOM Fitness: 22 March 2013, Ouch
Ouch #1 - I worked out hard on Wednesday. I felt it - a lot - yesterday. I probably need another day of recover too, but I'm going to go for a couple mile jog today, and then take off the weekend. I suspect today will be brutal, but having a multi-day rest ahead of me will feel good. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 22 March 2013, Ouch
WGOM Fitness: 13 March 2013, lbs vs. lps
I've been at this healthier living stuff, seriously, for a little more than 2 months now. I've probably worked out about half of those days, maybe a little more. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 13 March 2013, lbs vs. lps
WGOM Fitness: 6 March 2013, Noticing
Over the weekend the first person besides myself and my wife noticed I'd lost some weight. It was my sister-in-law, and she sees us with probably just the right amount of frequency that she'd pick up on a little loss. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 6 March 2013, Noticing
WGOM Fitness: February 27, 2013, Been Too Long
It's been too long since there was a new WGOM Fitness post. Not much to say here. I took the weekend off again, and that ended up including Monday. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: February 27, 2013, Been Too Long
WGOM Fitness: 22 January 2013, Shins
It's been a busy week at work, plus werewolf, so I haven't had quite as much time for working out as I'd hoped. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 22 January 2013, Shins
WGOM Fitness: 13 February 2013, Lent
I suppose it's no coincidence that Lent can be good for the weight-loss, given that both diet and Lenten sacrifice are primarily about self-restraint. Opposite goals, but the same result (cause fasting is designed to make you closer to God, while dieting is designed to keep you further away from meeting him)(eh? eh?).
WGOM Fitness: 11 February 2013, Vacation
I was on vacation last week. I worked out 1 time. It was just lifting, no aerobic stuff. It actually felt really good. I didn't eat the best, but I didn't eat the worst, so I'm ok with where I was on that too. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 11 February 2013, Vacation
First Monday Book Day: Now You See Me…
Back in college I took a two-semester course called "Great Books," wherein all we did was read and discuss (and I suppose there were some papers?) great books. The professor provided a list of 100 great books (it wasn't the Time 100, or any other known list, just the professor's own, but there was obviously a substantial overlap with such lists) and we read maybe 12 - 15 books a semester. A couple times a year I'll pick up one that I haven't read yet. Someday I'll get through the list. Maybe. Continue reading First Monday Book Day: Now You See Me…
