It seemed so much easier on N64

by Pie December 20, 2010

Just finished out a straight hour and some change on a cardio-a-thon after work. Some how despite the great feeling of the added massive boost to the calories burned, It just seemed much easier when I could just tilt the analog stick to the max and watch Link barrel across a field. But new personal [...]

Sprinting to goal

by Colin September 26, 2010

It’s 3 pm and I’m at a net 85 calories eaten for the day! Also, best ending: ran 4.2mph for 30 mins, bumped it up to 4.5, then after hitting my “finish line” at 45 mins, did a 1-min cooldown — then ran 6 mph for one minute to finish hard! I’d never tried the [...]

Getting more motivated

by Colin May 9, 2010

Six days ago, I was hoping to see 197 within a few weeks, but I saw it today! I know I only *saw* it. It’ll take a while longer before I’m reliably 197, but seeing new numbers as my low-fluctuation is still an indication of progress. So, awesome: *saw* it ahead of schedule, and now [...]

A few weeks ago, I started using the treadmill.  I wanted a change of pace and I needed to switch up my cardio a bit from the ARC Trainer.  I won’t lie, it sucked, but I stuck with it… …this past week, I completed 15 miles on it… …yesterday, I completed a mile in 10:13 [...]

Status Report: Week 6

by Steve265 November 17, 2009

First off, I would like to say Hi and give my thanks for being able to be apart of Fatbloggers.  I started this journey at 265 pounds and miserable.  I had yo-yo’d weight wise pretty much all of my life so I knew what it was like to be thinner and (relatively) happier with myself, [...]

Back after a long hiatus; peripatetic method

by Colin May 2, 2009

Hi all! After not exercising for nearly a year, I’ve gained back about 12 of the 28 pounds lost, so have run headlong into an easy “away” motivation to get back into fitness. That is, I am motivated to escape (get away from) wearing the same few clothes I still feel ok in, instead of [...]
