De-Flab 1 Week In — No Progress!
It’s Day 8, one week since I started this boondoggle, and I’ve made zero progress! Weight today — 170.4 pounds, exactly what it was one week ago today. I’m actually surprised it wasn’t more than that considering how I’ve been eating,which is to say, badly.
There is still time to make progress. It will be hard to do today because of the Luau party we’re going to tonight. I’ll have to hold back on the mai-tais and poi.
Exercise is going reasonably. Yesterday went to the gym, did a light workout with weights — quad extension, prone leg curls, barbell row, crunches on ball with weight, dumbbell press, and dumbbell curls. Then spent 35 minutes on stationary bike, mostly at moderate intensity but with one two plus minute interval at 280 watts — intense.
The day before, Monday morning, I ran six easy miles without a watch, so I couldn’t time myself.
Sunday morning I biked about 22 miles in around 1:20, steady moderate pace.
Still working on running program. Unfortunately some irritation has come back in the Achilles tendon so I have to be careful, especially with speed work. Need to get back in the pool since that doesn’t give me the same problems.

Boondoggle - holy SAT flashbacks!
And yes, I definitely can’t resist poi, either… I hope you have fun at the Luau and hope the Achilles irritation passes soon!!
