Pulled the MTB out Tuesday and cranked out 9 miles at yargo before it was DARK. Looking at getting a much better light for night riding and will be hittin the trails hopefully 4-5 times a week. Late rides but the park does not close till 10  //SLAMIN// Should be rakin about 60 miles a week and burning roughly 900 or so calories a ride. Been doing my push up regiment and curls in the am and need to pull out the P90X dvds again as well. Beach in a few months!

ugg....Had a lipids test. My good cholesterol is too low, my triglycerides & cholesterol are too high. I was told to cut out the beer, get off my butt & eat less sweets  //:'(//

Guess age & genes are finally catching up with me at 32. Everyone was fairly shocked at my results because I'm pretty thin. I'm just out of shape & have a strong weakness for beer, cake, Ice Cream & marbled red meat.

The regular workout started this week, along with a better diet. So far so good, just been hungry...

Have had similar issues, different people have different genetics.  For me hard exercise works, the easy jog or turning the wheel on the exercise bike or elliptical doesn't....  I actually found that diet had less effect than exercise, as hard exercise forces your body to process your intake of calories very differently.  Basically your lipid profile is showing that you are storing unused calories as blood fats which aren't being required by your body to do its job.  Cut the sweets, sugars, any low quality fast burn carbs....

My TG was at 260, my HDL was 33, Total Chol was at 5.5. Since my son came, I've been in a terrible routine of Going to work (sitting all day), coming home & other than playing with my son, I've been sitting around watching tv, drinking beer & eating a ton of sweets, breads & about anything else.

Outside of running, I joined a gym this afternoon down the street from me, I quit eating out at work & have stayed away from the vend!

I just really hope I can stick to everything...

2014 - End of 1 solid year of a fitness program.  3-4 crossfit workouts a week and 2 12-week 5x5 strength cycles this year.  Cardio work capacity is way way up, and my one rep maxes deadlift/squat/bench/press are 315/215/195/120.  I have never lifted serious weight before, max bench and squat were 125 when I started, very excited.  Blood pressure and lipids are down and I feel great even though working out sucks.  2nd year is going to really open things up now that I have a base cardio and strength capacity to work with.

Well done Jonathon! It's always nice to see the payoff after putting so much effort into something.
