2015 Wrap

I'm doing this a day early as I'm definitely too tired to hit it again (recovery definitely became an issue this week) and tomorrow is my work's inventory, which is moved up into ungodly hours to start, so I don't have enough time to get in the workout and shower and get to sleep at a reasonable time as it is. Instead, I'm just going to take the break and shoot for a full week next week.



One of the neat things about doing this blog since the format switch in October is I can just glance at a month to see how many workouts it had. While this is (obviously) not a workout post, it is useful in the context of providing a compilation of this blog, though this is (to me) somewhat woeful. I don’t look at this as something being better than nothing, though in this case, it is probably true, but rather in what was measured vs. what the potential was. Definitely came up wanting overall...

Total Posts in 2015 (including this): 21
Actual workouts: 17
Highest total, month: Tie: December, October (8)
Most frequently used equipment: Schwinn Air Dyne
Miles logged: ~103.85
Minutes logged: ~497 (8 hours, 17 minutes)
Weight start: 250
Weight end of year: 245
Net gain/loss: -5
Total goals reached: 2

17 workouts is something I wouldn't really be satisfied with if it was over 1 month (though it would be more reasonable at my current level of conditioning), let alone over 3 as it was here. The 8 workouts in a month is nothing I can put any kind of positive stamp on, truthfully. I do, however, feel like I finished strong and established what I set out to do, which was find the current level of Cardio fitness. The weight loss was nice, but the main focus is improving Cardio, though I won't be returning to that until after I get back from my next business trip. Once I get to what I consider at least a close approximation of Cardio fitness, I'm definitely looking at getting back to the gym, barring having to move and/or more Shoulder issues...assuming neither of those is in play, that's looking more like February or March at the latest...

Before I leave for the next business trip, at the start of the new year, I'll be back with a Goal Post.
