KFB Day 27 – Cheater

June 10, 2010

I cheated and looked ahead. Tomorrow is indulgence day. I’m not looking forward to it. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I haven’t been the paradigm of diet perfection the past few weeks. This was so unlike PCP-me who remained vigilant and faithful throughout the entire program. KFB-me seems to be a cheater. [...]

KFB Day 25 – Weak

June 8, 2010

This past weekend is still affecting me. Although time seems to have returned to a normal pace, my stamina hasn’t. I was doing alright during the jump rope and Strength section of the workout sheet, and I was still going strong at the beginning of the Agility section—that is, until I encountered the Kicks. My [...]

Who knew the two late nights and a pretty killer walk over the past three days would whup my ass today? At work, I was dragging like anything and the clock advanced ever so slowly. Then I got home an did the exercises—still dragging and time was moving at a snail’s pace. Dinner and soon [...]

KFB Day 23 – Walk

June 6, 2010

Even though the past couple of nights were late ones (there I go again, staying up way past my bedtime), I managed to wake up around 7am to begin my very busy day. Knowing that I was going to be on the go most of the day, I decided to start out the morning with [...]

KFB Day 22 – Horse

June 5, 2010

I think I have found a new exercise that will replace the love/hate relationship I had with the Plank. “I have given a name to my pain, and it is Horse!” The Horse Stance wasn’t that bad in the beginning, but at a hold of 40 seconds it is a killer. Which probably means that [...]

KFB Day 21 – Agony

June 4, 2010

At the time it sounded like a good idea. Well, actually it didn’t. It was more of an okay idea which I decided to go along with. Little did I realize that by the end of the night it would prove to be a really horrible idea. After the meeting last night, a couple of [...]

KFB Day 20 – Hookey

June 3, 2010

I am skipping out on KFB today—no workout whatsoever. This was not the original plan I had this morning. Unfortunately there were a number of circumstances that went way beyond my control. As some of you read a couple days ago, I had a deadline to finish a newsletter. Today was the actual printing date. [...]

KFB Day 19 – Shoes

June 2, 2010

The message today indicates that a change of footwear is suggested. The big clunky sneakers are good for jumprope, but hinders the other movements. A light shoe is recommended, especially one with a flat sole, or we can go barefoot (depending on the ground/floor condition). What I’d really love to get is a pair of [...]

KFB Day 16 – Family

May 30, 2010

I have spent much time with family the past couple of days. We were with my partner’s family yesterday, and then I saw my family today. Amazingly enough, there was one theme that seemed to resonate with both groups that I got to hear repeatedly over the two days: “You’ve lost a lot of weight!” [...]

KFB Day 14 – Fresh

May 28, 2010

I will say that I’m lovin’ the KFB exercise schedule, mainly because it mimics my old PCP schedule—Friday is the “end of the week” and therefore the easy workout day. This is perfect for me because Friday is the day that me and my friends gather for a potluck dinner and a movie of some [...]
