Tag: 2011goals

I graphed out the numbers that I found interesting over the past year.

If you look at the graph there are dips in June then a downward trend Sep on.  They can be explained via the pulled hamstring in June.  Sep on was due to the constant work/personal events that all clustered around that timeframe this year.

Diet:

Actually was more structured earlier in the year.  It became more of a fuzzy guideline as the year went on.  Overall I think I’ve stuck pretty well to the Paleo.  Diet suffers the most when I’m not working or out of town.

I think a bit more structure is required for me to reach my bodyfat goals.  I will have to put in exceptions for eating out.

Sleep:

7/12 Months averaged over 6 hours, but even in the months that dipped under they only went under slightly (lowest at 5.73 hrs)

Workout:

3 times a week. ~12 times a month.  Met this goal 9/12 Months.

Most of the time I was able to meet this goal fairly easily.  I was actually able to push into the 20+ times a month about half the time.  The times I missed were only off by 2 or 3 workouts.

Body:

Goal of 3% or 12% (This was actually the same given my starting was 15%).  Rounded off the year around 13%.  Not exactly what I would have liked, but I think to make additional inroads here I might have to be stricter than I’d like. I believe that 1-2% at this point will be fairly difficult, but we’ll see.

Stretch:

5 mins a day was a bit ambitious.

Not once did I actually hit this goal.  I think next year’s goal should be to stretch with every workout or 3 times a week (greater of the two).

Social:

I did not eat upstairs more.  However I did seem to meet the 2 times a week goal.  Basketball actually ended up consisting of a large portion of the counts.  I would have struggled a lot more if I didn’t count basketball as a social activity.

I definitely was doing a much better job at this earlier in the year.  And I started bumming out in prep work as the year went on.

Ironically the stretch and really stretch goals I think were at least partially met.

I did get haircuts at more reasonable intervals and happened to update my wardrobe twice this year.

 

 

 

 

 

This comes a bit late, but finally found some time to do this.  May was good, mostly a bit of recovery from the relay then back into the usual.

Diet:
This month was an improvement from last months attempt at Paleo.  Caloric intake seems to have normalized a bit this month, still on the higher side.  I blame the beer more than anything else.  I also found and purchased some raw milk to try.  Really good, but also really expensive haha.  I have more thoughts on this, but I’ll save it for another post.

Sleep:
Average Sleep for May: 6.28 hours.  Keepin it real.

Workout:
Got 21 in 31 days month.  Had a rough start to the month when I was still recovering, but work has got Ultimate goin every Thursday which gives me a lazy out day.  Summer is coming up and I’d like to try working some swimming into my workouts (first gotta learn to swim though haha).

Body:
Bounced a bit more this month 11%-14%.  Still more or less the same though.

Stretch:
22 times…what?  More than I worked out.  Nice!  Will try to keep it up.

Social:
16 times this month.  Ultimate counts =)

Image:
Work has made this earlier by bringing on the Onsite Haircuts.  Now I have no excuse for not getting a trim!

Another month goes by.  To be honest this was a pretty tough month.  Lots of work and lots of…well work.  As the month played out I didn’t expect it to be a progress month and I was more or less right.  I also swapped to a single sport schedule and a taper for The Relay event.  I’ll be going back to multi sport for May.

Diet:
Let’s just get this out.  During The Relay I was not Paleo at all carbs and stuff galore.  I think my average caloric intake has gone up.  Part of that is due to some beer consumption.  I also slipped and had desserts a few times.  I want to experiment with the quality of the food I eat a bit more rather than just controlling the kind of food I eat.  I’m also interested in trying out raw milk, but have to look into it some more.

Sleep:
Average Sleep for April: 5.81 hours.  So it’s the first time I’ve dipped below my quota.

Workout:
Worked out 22 times in 30 days. Not bad considering the taper at the end of the month.  Biked a few times and even gave Old La Honda another crack.  Made it up a bit faster, but still not where I want to be.    I’m starting to consider that I need to up the quality of the workouts I do.  I’ve been pretty good at being consistent in doing them, but based on my performance at The Relay something is still missing.

Body:
As I thought, no change here.  Still in the 12%-13% range.  Might try consuming more water?

Stretch:
Stretched 19 days.  Feels like I’m still not getting enough in.  Chiro suggested possibly booking massages to work out tension in muscles.

Social:
Social 15 times.  Basically no Halo play, but I’ve been trying to get out more.

Total fail.  Didn’t have time or energy to spend on groomage.
