Failure to get my butt in gear

Posted on March 26, 2015

Coming to the end of Week #2 for my new workout goals and it is ending like Week #1.

Beginning of the week I have no issues getting my 60 minutes in, sometimes I can do it in just two hours instead of three.

But by the end of the week, I can't seem to keep up the intensity even with 3 hours to do it.Thinking of just doing some strength training tomorrow and try again on Saturday.

At least, I burned off 2486 calories, which will hopefully add to the weight loss.

One of my dietbet is ending in two days, and while I have lost enough weight to win the bet, I need to keep it off for weigh in day.

Hopefully the rest of your dietbetters are having better luck reaching your goals.

Also, what gadgets do you use for tracking heart rate and calories burned?

That depends on which version of the Forerunner you've got. The newer versions have calories burned right on the watch in real time. The older versions you needed to update data to a computer to get the data.

I try doing 60 minutes of cardio at 85% my max HR, and I feel really really tired after 2-3 days in a row. How do we deal with that?

Get enough sleep at night. I clock in at 7 hours and sometimes take a nap a few hours before the gym.Get the proper nutrition. 2500 calories for a workout will not just "jump out of body fat". Carbs are your friends here. I tried doing a "low carb" diet and I did loose a lot of weight but couldn't do anything even close to this in the gym on that diet. I also take a lot of vitamin supplements.Sometimes tired is really just bored. Bored with the same routine, gym, etc. Try doing something different.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice. This really sounds interesting and doable. Cheers!
