Gold Bond is my friend.

Welcome back friendly followers of Husky Runner.  A few quick updates.   I have been to the gym 8 straight days.   I am a little over a third of the way towards my goal of 3 weeks straight at the gym.  I can tell my cardio strength is coming back surely but slowly.  Finally, Gold Bond is my friend.  Walking and jogging, not running, because if I were being chased by somethings I would be caught for sure, take a hell of a toll on my fat thighs. But the cool medicated relief of Gold Bond is like a cold beer on a hot day for my thighs.   I know, TMI but it's true.
It's all working.  I can feel it, can't see it but that will come.  Thanks again for reading and supporting me.

Pants on the ground! Looking like a fool..

Quick update, my pants keep sagging today.   They weren't last week, but they are this week.   I have my belt to the tightest loop, so the only thing I can think is that my workouts and the better eating have been working a little.   I hope that is the case.   I think I will be sitting at my desk a lot today, so I don't have this happen to me. Good stuff.  I have been to the gym 5 consecutive days, which is a record for me.   My initial goal is to make it 3 weeks straight, to make it part of my daily routine, so I stick with it.  So far so good.   I am also not weighing myself regularly because that has always discouraged me if I am not losing enough fast enough.   I am going to go on how I feel rather than how much I weigh this time.   - Husky Runner

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!! HUSKY RUNNER HAS RETURNED

After a 2 year break from really doing nothing, I have decided to retire being fat and lazy.   So many things have happened in the past few years, including me gaining a bunch of weight, which is no good.   I think I have to get back to what helped me stay on course before, this blog, and your support from reading this blog.

I am happy to announce that I actually jogged a little bit on the treadmill last night at the gym.   I wasn't planning on it, but as I was doing my workout and increasing the intensity, I felt it was the natural thing to do.  Don't get me wrong, it didn't last long until I had to slow back to a walk but it is a start.

I will keep this short, but I have to get back to my original goal.  I want to be there for my kids...  yes, that is correct,  kids.   If you haven't already seen the multiple FB posts, wife and I are expecting a boy in July.  YAY!    Oh and if I win the 1.5 Billion Lotto tonight, I am having lipo done tomorrow so this is all for nothing.  :)

20 lb kettle bell... Wow.

So I think I may have over estimated what I am capable of to begin with. 20 lbs doesn't seem like a lot but swinging it around it gets to ya. It feels great after the workout though. Not tons of stress on my shoulders. So let the kettle bell abs, arms and legs begin!

Here I go again...

My constant battle with obesity begins again. I hate starting but I really like getting done. I hate this struggle that I am losing and have been losing since a few years after high school. I need to do this and stay with it. I need help. I need to lose this extra weight. I need to lose 1 pound. Then another after that. I just want to feel good about myself again and not have to dread putting on socks, or putting on pants and hoping they won't be too tight all of a sudden. I just need to stop making excuses on why I can skip today or why I can eat this or that because I worked out earlier. I just need to shut the f up and do this. So if anyone would like to help with your words or time I would appreciate it. I look forward to getting in better shape and not being injured finally. I will try to update my blog because it does actually help me but I can't promise how often I will.

Hello!

So it has been a while now since I started my new workout routine. I am noticing a difference. Which is a good thing, now if i only could get the diet part of it down. I am not good at watching what I eat, actually I am really good at watching what I am eating it is just that what I am watching is bacony, fried goodness most of the time. I need to stop it. Oh well it's getting better little by little. I can figure it out. I have to.

New workout plan for Husky Runner

So I have recently joined LA Fitness, and so far... I love it! With my membership I got a free fitness evaluation, and I found out that even though I have been running for the past year basically, I am not that fit. I can't imagine what I was like before I started running. I also found out why I am not losing more weight. I was only working on the cardio, and not really the lean muscle. So I have a new plan, cardio and the Push, pull, legs workout with weights. So far I can feel the difference, and although I am sore from lifting once and a while, I am not as sore in general from just being fat. :) Oh well. I also have made some other changes in my life, I realized that after selling my house... finally, I thought I would be less stressed out and happy. I was wrong, I was the exact opposite and I started to become depressed and have severe anxiety and panic attacks. I decided it was time to do something about it. I figure I am trying to get my body right, I may as well get my brain right too. This is something I have been fighting since my Dad passed a few years ago, and this is about the time of the year that he started to notice he wasn't right. So the thought of not having my own home for now and other stuff really fucked me up for a few days.

I realized that the only times I am truely happy and carefree are when I am around my wife and daughter. So all the other times, I need a little something to keep me going. That said, I have been on it for a week now, and it is like night and day! I feel better and I am not worried about the small things. I am still hoping that someday sooner than later we have our own place again, but who knows when that will happen, we have a nice place to rent right now from my mother in law and I am greatful for that. So until next time.
