1 week down
(crossposted to fitnessdeathmarch.com)
Starting weight: 194
Current weight: 191
Goal weight: 180 (with strength increases)
7-day change: -3 pounds
Total change: -3 pounds
To goal: 11 pounds
Highlights of the week, fitness-wise:
- There was free pizza at the all-day gaming event I attended yesterday, but I had four really good all-natural nutrition bars (2 Larabars, a Bumble Bar, and a Clif Bar) and plenty of water, so ate only one slice of thin-crust cheese pizza
- I went out to Macaroni Grill and got the super-healthy broiled fish entree
- I bought lighter weights, so that I’m not putting my ego above proper form
- I ran 12 miles, started the “one hundred pushups” program, and followed my free weight routine religiously
Goals for next week:
- Run my 3 miles just a little faster [method: get more energetic music]
- Keep up the rest
Does anyone have any suggestions for good running music?
My workout music for the fitness room has often been instrumental hip-hop. A lot of RJD2. For running I’ve been listening to stuff that’s peppy and a little poppy. Throw Me The Statue, Oh No! Oh My!, I’m From Barcelona, Vampire Weekend, and Zookeeper are good for that. Don’t know if this helps.
Whatever MP3 player you use (I have an iPod shuffle), you should have a Last.fm account to share your tunes with your friends. Its basically a social networking site with a music focus. If you are already on there, add me as a friend. If you aren’t… sign up!

I will check out last.fm, thanks! I’ll try your suggestions too, Jereme. I am working my way through some new CDs, but will get there soon.
