23 pounds

Back On The Rowing Machine

For the end of the month, looks like I will only be able to row 10km at a time. My youngest son is taking swim lessons at the YMCA. His lessons last for 45 minutes and 10km of rowing lasts for a little bit less than that. I plan on rowing the rest of the month with the exception of the up coming weekend. Here’s what I did this evening … total time, 41:35.8, 2:04.7 per 500 meters, 23 strokes per minute.

8:07.2 2:01.8 23 2000m
8:14.6 2:03.6 23 4000m
8:29.0 2:07.2 23 6000m
8:31.0 2:07.7 23 8000m
8:13.5 2:03.5 23 10000m

Not a great row tonight - I ate dinner about a hour before exercise - blah! My wife made this delicious, healthy muffins and yours truly put away four of them. I didn’t feel so hot rowing tonight.

One thing I have noticed over the last few weeks is that I have been losing weight during the week day, but gaining it all back over the weekend. It seems that I am giving myself permission to pigout on the weekend and undo all of the good work accomplished during the work week.

I broke that strangle hold this past weekend when I didn’t put back on a couple of weekend pounds. I finished the weekend just about where I started it, 166.4 lbs versus 166.2 lbs on Friday. Tonight’s exercise will likely mean I weigh less than 166.0 lbs tomorrow morning.
