Iollan's Log
Fitness:
Use TT as my core program, add in core strength training as well
Overall goals
3x a week
Cardio/Interval 3x a week
Swim/Walk/Bike 2x a week
Nutrition:
Continue to eat clean, but focus on increasing calories, I tend to not eat enough most of the time. Continue to track on fitday.
So my focus for the challenge nutrition wise is about changing a couple of habits:
1) Watch my macro’s
2) Get more calories in earlier in the day
3) Plan ahead, have my food with me during the day
Personal Goal:
1) More time with the family, less time with work this summer
2) Be able to complete 42 push ups and pull ups by my 42nd birthday (Sept 31).
3) Lose 20lbs
4) Increase core strength and fitness, move on another program August 1
5) Figure out above program by August 1 J
Competitive Goal
TDB, still looking for a local event

Nice workouts Iollan! Sounds like you bike alot -- I'm biking to work, and it's always a great way for me to start the day -- I always feel really good once I get to work.

Thansk - off to a good start.
I do bike alot, cant run due to issues wit my knees, but try to make up for it with biking & swimming.
Spent 2 hours today with my daughter in horse country, great day for a ride!

I haven't been on a horse in years...actually that is probably a good thing given the size I have been. I would hate to harm such wonderful animals. I think I will add that to things I want to do later in life...go on a nice ride...
Well, Iollan.... what is your favorite part of the challenge so far?

Iollan, welcome to the challenge. You are the 3rd person I've noticed on this forum that rides (horses, that is). Do you own a horse?

I hadn't ridden much since I was a kid, but have ridden about once a month or so since we moved to Kentucky 3 years ago. I have found few things in life that compare to a long ride in the country to help me focus on what is really important in life.
I do not own a horse, although my wife and kids would love it if we did. However, there are only two kinds of horses in this world, those that make money, and those that eat it.
I'm fairly confident that I'm not going to own any of the first kind!
I am fortunate that several of my friends that I've met since we moved here do own farms, and are generous in letting us ride, as well as teach my girls how to ride and care for the horses.
My favorite part so far.... great question.
I think it's that this challenge has helped me focus on a controllable part of my life at a time when everything else is a little crazy; seeing everyone here's success and their struggle has been encouraging. The realization that I can control my nutrition and exercise shouldn’t be a surprise, but as I have always struggled with food, it has been empowering.

Hey Iollan - your workouts are looking good! Isn't it great when you have the extra energy and motivation to push a little harder? I love when that happens.
