Getting a little frustrated. I keep working out and watching what I eat and I was hovering in the 158-159 range. This morning I was at 156.5, though, so maybe there has been some progress.

Last night went to the Karate seminar and got a good quad workout, in addition to some interesting technique work. It was a good experience. Went to class Monday and Thursday, and Wednesday I had the class do mostly conditioning that I did as well. That was probably the best workout of the week. Lots of punching, jumping rope, balance ball, kicking. Little bits of everything.

It's become a lot harder to get motivated to do treadmill work or workout at home now that I'm working during the day. I did get on the treadmill after work on Monday. James fell asleep when we got home, so I decided I should do it while I had the chance. I did intervals of going faster than normal (7), jogging (6), and walking (4). I'll try to get on the treadmill at least once over the weekend.

I went to TKD twice last week, plus participated quite a bit while I was teaching Wed. Did some weights and core work during a couple afternoons. Yesterday I went three miles on the treadmill. Ran the first, the alternated between walking and running for the next two. After the first mile my IT band started tightening up. I tried stretching afterwards, but my hips are sore today. A couple weeks ago it flared up while jogging, so I had been taking it easy on the treadmill. Yesterday was the longest I had gone since that started. I'll stretch it again today and hopefully I'll get a few decent runs in later in the week.

I go back to work tomorrow, so that will make things more difficult in terms of motivating myself to work out. However, I'll be standing and walking around more during the day (as opposed to sitting most of the day), so that might offset things from a weight loss stand point (but not in terms of conditioning).

Weight this morning: 158 lbs.
