This week could best be described as “slowly regaining momentum”.  With the monstrous let down in intensity we both had over the last few weeks, we were finally able to get a little bit of traction by repeating last weeks efforts with some quality time at the gym and track while keeping the eating healthy.

I walked upwards of 12 miles (still hobbling a bit) and got to the gym once this week.  I managed that and eating relatively healthy all in the middle of New Orleans for a week long conference!  When I wieghed I had actually gained a 1/2 pound which was a bit frustrating, but after the weeks of debauchery Read more

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the many well-wishers I have had over the last couple of weeks regarding the accident.  I really am pretty lucky and had no real damage to speak of.  The only thing still “healing” is my lower leg and ankle which took a pretty good hit in the crash.  Thus I have yet to start my running again, but I did manage to lift a couple times this week as well as a couple of ab workouts.

Unfortunatley, the net effect of the last couple of weeks is still 0 pounds, but I think once I start running again I should get back on track!

Mr. Gentlenibbles

Total weight loss - 11.5 lbs

Best mile time - 9:08 min

Mrs. Gentlenibbles rocked in her 5K last weekend taking 6 minutes off of her last time from a couple of months ago.  For any of you that have ran a 5k six minutes is a lot of imporvement in just a couple of months.  She also got back on track with her eating this week and got to the gym Read more

Well, I have gone above and beyond this week to come up with a great excuse for not much progress.  It is 7:45 AM on Sunday morning and Mrs. Gentlenibbles is running her sexy ass off in the 5K we scheduled to do today and I am not.  In an effort to get out of running this event I chose to crash my motorcycle on Friday night. 

I was wearing my leather coat, riding boots, and helmet which undoubtedly is the reason I walked a way relatively healthy, but I am still nursing a bum ankle, bruised knees and elbows, and very sore back, and some other small aches and pains.  I consider all in all to be pretty lucky.  I was thrown forward over the handlebars, but somehow the clutch lever got between my neck and the strap of my helmet ripping the helmet off and sending me and it rolling across the street in Read more
