A Departure from “Training”

So it wasn’t a run. Not that “running” is the current state of my workouts. It’s more like “wogging” – half walk, half jog. Anyways, to get back on track, my youngest son is investigating options for school next academic year. We spent the afternoon touring the beautiful grounds of Loyola Marymount University in Westchester (Los Angeles, not New York):

 

Bottom line is we spent the better part of an hour and half walking through this beautiful campus in West L.A. Two miles easy!

That really created an appetite, so we headed off to an institution in Playa Del Rey – The Shack:

This was a regular stop on my lunch circuit when I worked in the area – back in 1982-1986!!! I guess good things have a way of standing the test of time. Good things like a Shack Burger!

That’s a burger, with a slice of cheese, and a Louisiana Hot Link on top. And no – I didn’t have one. My son did though. Sigh. What it would be like to be young again.

Calorie goal:

• Budget: 1780 calories
• Consumed: 2113 calories
• Exercise: 257 calories
• Too few/(too many): (76)

When the Rain Starts Falling…..

I go on vacation. I guess without a goal on a calendar, my motivation goes out the door (or window – whatever is most convenient).

Last I posted, we were in for a rainy weekend. And it happened. So guess what happened to my two day streak? And calorie logging? I guess the good news is I’m feeling guilty about it. A year ago I wouldn’t. I’ll get back on the horse this week, a little bruised (i.e., up a couple pounds), but still able to ride.

Plan:

• Monday: Scheduled rest
• Tuesday: 2 miles
• Wednesday: 3 miles
• Thursday: Scheduled rest
• Friday: 2 miles
• Saturday: 3 miles
• Sunday: 2 miles
• Total planned: 12 miles

It’s really disgusting to think that I used to average 3 times that per week….

Another Streak Started

I'm up to 2 days in a row! Three short miles today.

Calorie goal:

• Budget: 1780
• Food: 2181
• Exercise: 438
• Too few/(too many): 37

Whew. Just under the wire. Today is scheduled rest, which is fine because it's raining. Winter has settled in on Southern California:
