2nd Day of Fasted Cardio: Check. After I had a cup of coffee, I headed out to a nearby walking trail to get in an hour walk. Tip: always make sure your headphones are charged and keep a backup, non-bluetooth pair in your car just in case. I got to the park, only to discover… Continue reading Day 11: Project Reset

Day 10: Project Reset
Another day, another fasted workout. For the month of August, I decided that I am going to focus on incorporating more fasted cardio workouts. I'm not committing to everyday; I'm not committing to a certain time or mileage, though I would like to get in at least 30 minutes; and I'm not committing to just… Continue reading Day 10: Project Reset
Day 9: Project Reset
Today was a much needed rest day, and I'm not talking about an active recovery rest day. I'm talking about the kind of rest day where you don't even hit 3,000 steps. I seriously haven't had a do-nothing rest day for months, as I'd always make sure to at least get in my 10,000 steps.… Continue reading Day 9: Project Reset
Day 8: Project Reset
Before my workout, I was seriously contemplating buying pre-workout; even if it was the non-stimulant kind. It's actually something I'm still thinking about. Before the leg portion of today's workout, I spent 30 minutes on the treadmill. Originally, my plan was to just walk the 30 minutes but, after 5 minutes of walking, I was… Continue reading Day 8: Project Reset
Day 7: Project Reset
I sort of got to a late start to the day. Even though I was ready to workout at 8, I didn't end up starting until 9:30 because I didn't know what I wanted to do. Did I want to walk/run on the treadmill; go hiking; go on a walk, if so where, near my… Continue reading Day 7: Project Reset
Day 6: Project Reset
Today was a much better day, workout wise and eating wise. I ended up doing Week 7, Day 2 of C25k, which was 25 minutes of running with a 5 minute warm up and cool down. Like this past Sunday, I increased the speed by .1 every 5 minutes. However, instead of starting at 5.0… Continue reading Day 6: Project Reset
Day 5: Project Reset
Today was another 'blah' day, though I did manage to get my 10,000 steps in. I was exhausted, had some motivation to workout, but just felt uncomfortable. So, I popped some ibuprofen and went to a nearby trailhead. I wanted to do at least 2 miles, but the hike ended up being 1.98. I want… Continue reading Day 5: Project Reset
Day 4: Project Reset
Today was another 'blah' day. I only got ~6,5000 steps in instead of 10,000. I was going to go on a walk before or after dinner, but the motivation just wasn't there. I did have an amazing workout though. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes to warm up, then did another leg workout… Continue reading Day 4: Project Reset
Day 3: Project Reset
Today was, what I'd consider, a lazy day. I did not get my 10,000 steps in. I got just over 7,000. Sundays are technically rest days but since I took it easy on Saturday, I decided to do Week 7 Day of Couch to 5k. Todays run consisted of a 5 minute warmup walk, 25… Continue reading Day 3: Project Reset
Day 2: Project Reset
Good news, my arm is getting it's strength back! For the past couple of weeks I have not been able to put weight on it (ex: prop myself up or hold a high plank). There's still discomfort, but it's not as noticeable as it was before, and I can't go holding a plank for 30+… Continue reading Day 2: Project Reset
