Mission accomplished…

 

Well, I made the transition. The first week of school I was struggling to get my bike ride in but I had a successful week last week and accomplished my goal of 3500 calories [or the equivalent of roughly 1 pound] per week…

 

I also had to scale back my miles a little bit. I had an aggressive goal of riding 200 miles in July and I accomplished my objective but almost ruined my knee for riding…

It’s hard to ride at 5:30AM but if I don’t do it then, I probably won’t at all. I also seem to be slower in the morning, but that may be knee related as well…

All these stats come from Endomondo, a fitness app I have on my Google Nexus S [although it is available for iPhone as well]. Pandora keeps me pumping and Endomondo tracks my progress. It’s probably goofy to you, but stats like this really motivate me…

 

I <3 Endomondo!

One of the most important things I’ve done in my fitness routine is to throw out my scale and to start using Endomondo on my Android [available for your iPhone, too]. Endomondo uses the GPS in my phone to track my exercise and keeps a running log with stats like this I can view on their website [click image to enlarge]…

My scale is a LIAR — it rarely says what I hope it will say. Endomondo reminds me that if I do the right thing, the right results will follow and it shows me how my efforts are adding up. THIS inspires me — you may benefit from it, too!
