I’ve included having a handful of nuts between meals to keep the metabolism going. Water doesn’t seem to do it, even though I drink about 2 litres over the course of the day.

Today I started including lunges in my morning exercise. I’m not all that good at them because of balance issues, but I still got a burn from doing them, which is a good thing.

Interesting note: the guy I share my office with (I got to find a shorter way to say that – what about gismow?) just started on P90X. I looked at that at one point, but the pre-requisites definitely don’t allow for fat guys to start with that routine. Maybe once I get to that first plateau. Maybe.

Until Seth gets back (which I believe he said would be next week) I’ll add a new exercise each week. Maybe I should get my Wii Fit involved again. But I can’t watch BT and exercise at the same time if the Wii Fit is involved. Hmmmm.

I’ve been faithfully doing my 250 crunches a day and have had very little difficulty in eating a different green vegetable each day. Friday was Green Peppers, Saturday was Broccoli and Celery (Looky! Double Dose!), Sunday was Asparagus. Today? Any suggestions?

Did I say I’m hurting? Wait… my fellow office dweller is gone for lunch. Time for 50 crunches! That’ll bring me up to 150 for the day.

…

I’m back. Yes, I might be going insane when I hurt and I’m doing the very thing that makes me hurt, but hey – (cliche alert) no pain, no gain!

Today’s question posed by our PrimalStride fearless leader, Seth:

What do you look forward to most when you imagine yourself living a truly healthy lifestyle?

I see running around with my son without running out of breath after 10 minutes. I see looking forward to walking with my wife. I don’t see me better at sports, but definitely enjoying them more despite my lack of coordination.

It occurs to me that I should look at last week’s challenge (even though I had not committed to PrimalStride yet) and incorporate it into my daily routine.
