Sorry I missed you, again. We’re on Day 43 of the Wedding Fitness Project. Another day, another NSV (non-scale victory). Today’s NSV: My wedding pants fit pretty well. Finally. But, I’m not finished. This project will extend well beyond the wedding, as it’s a lifestyle now. I was well under today, nearly 500 calories. I […]

Well, I apologize (again) for slacking off a bit on this blog. It’s not because I haven’t continued the fitness project. In fact, I’ve been under each of the last three days on my calorie count, had some great non-scale victories and am back in the low 190s on the scale. Highlights from each of

I’ve written about non-scale victories (NSV) several times. I had some of my favorites Wednesday morning at the gym. Despite running my usual notoriously slow first mile (about 12 minutes), I set personal bests (at least since high school) for 2 miles, 3 miles, 4 miles, 5 miles and 6 miles. I ran two miles

A funny thing happened when I started working out, eating better and losing weight: my metabolism took off. I realized that again today when I stepped on the scale at the gym after a weekend full of bad eating and one 7-mile run. Amazingly, I did not gain a pound over the weekend. I’m still

Don’t let days become weeks. That’s been one of my mottos since I started the fitness makeover about three years ago. After a Memorial Day weekend loaded with unhealthy food and one 7-mile run, I’m anxious to get back to the gym and back on track at the table Tuesday. Though it was not a

After spending most of Saturday in Topeka working on our wedding, all of us were tired. I rarely take naps, but laid down for one at about 6 p.m., planning to wake up around 8 and get a late run in. I woke up at 8:30 p.m., figured I’d get another hour of sleep in

The “Naked Gun” clip sums up my Friday. After Thursday’s record run, my body screamed for a day off, and I complied. Unfortunately, I was covering a state softball tournament at a press box loaded with chili dogs, chips, cookies and soda. Talk about temptation. In other words, it wasn’t a good day at the

A year ago on May 22, I burned about 1,000 calories with a combination of a 3-mile run, 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, 20 minutes of weight lifting and old-school 8-minute abs. I was curious how much progress I’ve made physically. The answer: A lot. I burned more than 1,300 calories today running more

The wedding is a month away … time sure flies. Seems like I asked Shana to marry me the other day. Though I haven’t lost weight at the rate I’d like, I’ve been pleased with the progress. I’ve taken my workouts to another level, and I have eaten better in the first month of the

Well, I’m officially up a few pounds from my low at the beginning of last week. I expected that after a weekend full of hamburgers and pop. Yes, it’s unfair that it’s so much easier to gain the weight than it is to lose it, but it is what it is. The important thing is
