No winners circle for me yes x 2

I am so inconsistent in this accountability group to the point of being a total fiasco. Hey but where else can I use fiasco in a sentence? I got me a new place for doing hill repeats. It is better than going around the block in my neighborhood. You seen how weird a pattern that is. This place give me about 1200 feet or so…

I must be getting old .. .. exercise - upwards of 900 feet climbing. That is kind of good. Calories - I got a beer problem Tracking - at least I know how far out of bounds I am. Not that far actually but ... I got to rein in. Why does it matter? My buddies are all like why does it matter. How 'bout we just enjoy our…

I am losing track of my days. Yesterday I was ok. Yes x 3 Today I am weird as ever. I did this weirdass pattern in the neighborhood for multiple repeats. It is like 120 floors. I don't know if you can see it but there are like 4 lane divided roads on the periphery of my pattern. I can't go on those kind of roads. I am too…

here is me not saying much about yesterday. But today I got some exercise. I got a new neighborhood circuit. It is easy on my knees. It has a little bit of climb to it but in terms of, you know, climb, kind of miniscule. It is like a 3 mile circle and I do it 3 times. 40 minutes or so, so it qualifies. It ain't even 400…

Kudos on them pics @cardio_enthusiast. Makes me wish my mountain didn't have an icy road to it. I think I might go there tomorrow anyway and see if it is still icy. Dentist tomorrow, don't forget! Look for something to put around my finger. Heh, I could keep eating for like 390 cals but I am not really hungry. Think I will…

Getting good exercise for the past couple of days. Got 600 cals of spin yesterday. Got 1300 feet of climb today. No more mountain. That is an icy road now. So I got to do my neighborhood pattern 4 times to get that amount of climb. I do that I see people coming out for exercise. Nothing wrong with that. After that went…

Pleasant temperatures, heh. I finally get out for some exercise. Temperature at home reads out a balmy 39 degrees. Whoa! That's warm enough that I don't gotta do the hand warmer thing. So I gets up to park, put my stuff together and I am a bit quizzical about all that. I better have some in my pack was my thought. Hand…

Enjoying the simple pleasures of life and staying safe. We got rain for the first time today in 95 days. Man o man! I almost feel like celebrating that. At the little schoolhouse the playground wasn't its usual cacophony of running. leaping and screaming rapscallions. Had some nice quality time with PT man and Buddy and…

There is a lot of UK people on here and I am losing track of who they are. Losing track, I guess that is one of my problems. It is only 8 days in to Jan and I kind of haven't got my diet measured all that diligently. I am exercising. That is always fun to talk about if you ask me. Got some good climb today but my knee was…
-
@RangerRickL Heh! I climbed fiendishly today. So for January I got a good climb average so far. I signed on to a climb challenge at Strava. I got 6300 feet in 5 days of January. We'll see how it goes. If it ain't gonna snow I am going to climb. No snow... that ain't saying it ain't cold. I go out in the morning wearing…
-
Oh man! Too bad you didn't get to swing by and hang out with me and Buddy. I thought this thought the other day about Buddy. He has captivating smile and laughter. I told his mom and grandma that. Heh! I told them that I seen that little guy get a whole shopping center smiling. We go to the park and he even gets teenagers…

exercise - yes but kind of skimpy track - yes under budget - yes (close)
-
Congratulations to the winnerrs circle. Welcome to the newcomers. I got a good start. Didn't get carried away last night. Felt good this morning. So ... 1) 3 hours of climbing 2) tracking check. 3) budget... if I close the kitchen right now I will have an 630 cal remaining. For January I am going to be a little more formal…

That is his devious smile. He smiles like that after he has successfully manipulated people, namely me. But for that smile it is almost worth being manipulated. Tell you the truth, I am ok with being manipulated with smiles and laughter and that is how that little guy is. I am going to go see him in about an hour.…

Last day of the year, I guess I like to summarize things. So I sit here looking at my financials. Eh, forget that baloney! I got this gps tracker watch like maybe a year and a half ago. That little thing motivates me somehow. It has like internet software that it uploads to. It actually uploads to this fitnesspal but today…

Heh!

Almost noon. Shouldn't post after a beer and a shot. Went to the road for an unreasonable amount of exercise, climbing. Let me see what Mr wizard says about it. I didn't wear my heart rate monitor. I should have. I kind of punched it in places. Heh, I also kind of walked in places. Mr Wizard says 1900 feet climbing for…
-
Oh, man! I am still out of tolerance on diet. My exercise is fun though. Ugh, hill repeats, now that I think about it, what could be fun about that? Hey, I talk to dog walkers, that's what. Here is what my heart looks like on hill repeats. According to Mr. Wizard, that is only like 600 cals. But I got this box of…
-
ugh, claw back. I just done a 1000 cal burn. My climb, but I am fizzling rather than finishing. Yesterday I got some climb but I run into my buddy (lower case 'b') on the road and we yakked for longer than I climbed. Heh. Some days ago I talked about that water not being frozen and how I was baffled by that. I go to stick…
-
Heh, that is a cool picture. I was looking at that from my vantage up on the Colorado Plateau this past Sunday. I was 50 or 60 miles away but I could squint my eyes and see them formations. Heh, binoculars. Didn't take no pictures. Ain't got telephoto. Shoulda just drove there. That would have been an hour each way…

Breakfast: one and a half buttered cheesey jalapeno bagels. I figure that for maybe 360 cals. Here I sit 7:50 typing into a blog and playing silly computer games. If I got the exercise motivation on me I am usually out by now and heart warmed up to 80% or so. Well you never know. Maybe it will warm up 10 degrees and I will…

I am not getting my minimum exercise every day. Did alright today though. The road: I seen a couple of turkeys. Other than that I had the place to myself. No car went by. Mr. Wizard is telling me I got 750 cal or so for the effort. I better not eat it. I am a little bit over my set point.

yes x 3

Finally got a climb to 2000 in. Would you believe I lost 3 pounds doing it? Probably water weight. Heh, beer weight. I had my layers more or less right. I wore mittens instead of gloves and I had these chemical hand warmer things inside my mittens. Worked good. I was more or less warm. Skin by my eyes was cold. I thought…

Sleep... hey I am sleeping ok. @RangerRickL I recommend retirement. It is kind of nice. Sleep. I discovered this Pandora thing. I am kind of behind the curve on tech so you guys prob heard about it a long time ago. They got piano music on there that is good for sleeping. There is a couple of songs in my playlist, if I put…

I think I am going to start counting my time with Buddy as exercise. That little scamper weighs 60 pounds and I spend a good bit of energy holding him balanced as I try to get him to walk. Little guy pitches out every few minutes and loads my left arm and torsion loads my back with his entire weight. In some sense he is…
-
Forgot what I was going to say. Actually said something and then erased it. I still ain't exercising. Not too bad on the scales but... I get my bike back tomorrow. So I can go back to being an age inappropriate mad man. Then I be challenging people like @cardio_enthusiast into races up a big hill. (but don't ferget that I…

3 days into December and I am already struck out. I ain't been exercising or at least what counts as deliberate exercising. Last day of November I exercised on spin bike. Kind of overamped my knee. My mountainbike is in the shop. I cooked the brakes. I am always cooking the brakes.\ Ugh, bike is down for the count and…

I like reading @2020pinktogo. She causes me to elaborate. Heh, maybe we cause each other to elaborate. No winners circle for me. I been too lax at reporting in. I am kind of tracking mostly and I got my weight maintained. My wife wants to lose more weight. I think she looks fine but losing weight is always good. Hard part…
