I’m grateful for all the cool people on Nerd Fitness who have responded to various posts out there.  Some are about Kettlebells and offering vital information and videos.  Others are just encouraging me in my own challenge post.  It’s a great community.

OK, so this is getting posted from early on 1/7.  I had an issue with the Pivotal Living band yesterday and my sleep, steps and mileage were not properly tracked.  I am hoping that my tracking band functions properly for 1/6.

In other news, my wife Tanya took the family to see Star Wars!  No spoilers I promise but, it was a great movie.  It was also ( Read more... )

This is my first official Nerd Fitness Challenge day!  I am pleased to report that I did a run yesterday and I also completed a learning/beginner kettlebell routine today.  I won’t pretend to remember any of the names of the movements and I know that some of the moves standard to kettlebell are not in this routine.  I will ( Read more... )

Wow, will take getting used to writing 16 instead of 15.

Anyway, yes, this battle log hasn’t been so “daily” of late.  I won’t make excuses but, I will apologize for my lack of upkeep.  On the negative side, I didn’t meet many of my goals the past couple of days.

On the positive side, I did try an intermediate kettlebell ( Read more... )

I'm writing this entry on 12/31 but it is for 12/30.

I didn't reach my step, water, or Bible Reading goals on 12/30 and I also gave into laziness and temptation in many ways.
This was a day that I am still ashamed of but, could have been much better had I simply made better choices.

Meaurements as of 10:08PM.

Today has been an absolutely terrible day.  Not so much physically but, emotionally and mentally I am basically broken down to survival mode.  It could be a combination of added stress from the holidays, a couple of rough days with my son, and other factors.  Basically, I have run out of coping mechanisms and am just ( Read more... )

OK, I’ve officially determined that the Pivotal Living tracker is great for day to day walking but, it really sucks at tracking distance for running.  Steps are hard to judge but, distance is way off.  Per Zombies, Run! I ran 5.32 miles and per Runkeeper I ran 5.3 miles.  My Pivotal Living band had me at 2.04 miles prior ( Read more... )

Numbers as of 9:30PM.  I did not hit many of my goals today.  It was a rough day on multiple sides.  UGH.

Measurements as of 11:04PM.  I will also note that I know that the Pivotal Living tracker is not accurate on my steps/miles today.  Per Zombies Run! and Runkeeper I ran/jogged at minnimum 4.46 miles, if not 4.5 miles this morning.  At the time, the activity tracker said I had only gone 3.3 miles.
