So, right now, I have reached a weight plateau, and as that has caused me much frustration, I have turned my focus to physical fitness goals, such as committing to run a 4-mile race in August. Yeah, maybe not a big deal for some, but I just started running about 8 weeks ago. I am now running 2 miles once or twice a week. My cardiovascular system does fine, but I am trying to take it easy on the knees, especially since I am still doing weight resistance training 3 days a week. Another goal is that I want to do a triathlon this year. I haven't picked one out yet, but I have introduced swimming and biking into my exercise routine. I am swimming a mile now, and have done a couple spinning classes(my butt still hurts).
Nutritionally, I am still sticking fairly close to the eat good six days a week, eat whatever I want one day a week in moderation method. I occasionally have been mixing in some carb cycling every once in while, and I save that discussion for another post.
But for right now, I just wanted to let you know where I am at in my journey, and hope you will find time for a journey of your own.

Hi, I'm Michael Long. Join my on my journey into living a healthier life. Having lost almost 150 lbs, my goals have transitioned from losing weight to physical fitness and continuation of good nutritional habits. My inspiration for this blog is to share what I have learned and am learning along my journey. I am just a normal guy who has been where your at, and has learned how to translate all the gobblyguck from "experts" into sensible "real world" applications.
