@trb and i have unfinished business on hiking a couple peaks.
i'm gonna revise last years goal to 3 total peaks.
this years goal is more diet related and to just work on feeling really healthy again. i've really let myself slip on maintaining a whole foods, no processed foods, zero processed sugar diet.
fitness, doing well in that dept and i intend to maintain it. continue with 5-6 days a week of 20-30 minutes cardio and 30-40 minutes of lifting a day. squats almost every day.
should probably do another trail race in 2024.
weight? just stay the course. i like hanging out in the 180 range.
since grant updated i'll go ahead and update.
i'm on a real good workout grind. pushing 40 minutes a day either stair climbing or running, usually a 20 minutes of each, then followed with 20-30 minutes of lifting. mostly lots of pull ups, pushups and various shoulder, back, and chest workouts and lots of squatting. really keeping a solid routine here and it's feeling really good. been going consistently enough that i finally felt the need to take a rest day yesterday after about 15 straight days.
getting back on my food plan is going really well too, dry january is helping with overall willpower. we're overall good on maintaining a very low processed food, essentially zero added/processed sugar diet, but i do have a tendency to indulge in my favorite junk food from time to time. i can tell i feel better. i'm generally allowing one meal a week that goes a little off the rails.
waitlisted for my favorite trail race, so i impulsively signed up for a random 50k instead. if i get off the waitlist i'll do both, if not, jus the 50k. went and looked at the registered runners list and saw
@MtnElk signed up. it'll be a good time.
it's a depressing life when the only practical way to run is on a road or a treadmill. call me weird, but i'd rather gouge my eyeballs out with a spoon then road run, yes i like treadmills more than pavement running, especially a treadmill that can give me some grade. so it's stair climbing and treadmills. i'll mix in at least one long trail run a week here soon, but holy crap they're a time suck with having to drive 20+ minutes to trailheads.
weight is remaining right around 180, but maybe creeping up a little due to the lifting, too soon to say. i think i actually want to remain in the 175-180 range, but it really is kinda hard if i stay under the weights. i'll think about that more.
antsy to hopefully get at least one solid multi day peakbagging trip in this summer. that's always the goal. after that can usually just take a day off here and there to hit local front range peaks.
