Week 2: Goal is still on track

Week 2 saw me working a different shift at work so the duration of my workouts and the amount of my workouts was down. Week 2 also marked the start of winter semester at school so I had to dedicate some of my time toward coursework. I am now in the final stretch of school, three classes remain until completion in June. That being said I still had a very productive week of work and saw an additional 6 pounds melt off putting me at an even 230 pounds. Below is the workouts used to achieve this:

Monday: 50 situps, 25 push ups, boot camp with Crystal at the YMCA, a 15 minute sweat in the sauna, completed with 3 sets of tennis at the club that evening.

Tuesday: Weight Training focusing on chest and arms, Cross Training class at the YMCA, finished off with a 15 minute sauna.

Wednesday: Spin Class with John at the YMCA, followed by bosu (abs class) at the YMCA, topped off with the sauna.

Thursday: Weight Training and Upper Body work bosu class at the YMCA.

Friday: 100 situps, 30 push ups and a 4 1/2 mile run before work.

Saturday and Sunday were somewhat off days, I took the family dog Coco for a four mile walk each day. Saturday evening at dinner I may have decided on the half marathon that I will be running. The GO St. Louis half is the weekend of April 11th which should give me plenty of prep time to have myself in peak physical condition. I was discussing with Chip today at the gym and there is still a large contingent planning on competing in a Triathlon in Columbia in May so this will be one of my goals for the year.

  1. Hi Ryan,
    I happen to work at the YMCA of Greater Kansas City main office and came across your blog today. I'm glad you are still on track with your goals and that the Y has been able to help! I'm also a runner and thinking about doing my first triathlon this year. Keep it up!

  2. Hey friend! I am also going to try to do a triathlon at the end of July at Smithville Lake. It's an all female tri, 500m swim, 10 mile bike, and 5k run. I'm hoping I'm not pushing too much with the san diego marathon being the month before... yikes! :) Keep up your hard work!

  3. Found your blog and got your email. I'll try to write back at school tomorrow. I added your blog to my roll on mine. Way to go on your weight loss quest. I've been on one of my own...it's so hard. Hoping to see you at the ping pong weekend. Can't believe that's my sister's house, too!
