I Did It! I Completed C25K

by Joel Wagner - 0

For the third time this week, I ran 30 minutes nonstop this evening. I walked in a 5K a couple of weeks ago. I am learning a whole lot about myself through the process of running. I will continue posting more updates over at Can Wii Do It? over the next few weeks, if you're interested. To read my latest post, go read Joel: I did it.

The Art of Slow Slow Slow Running

by Joel Wagner - 3

I ran 1 mile last night and it took me 18:45. I saw a post on the Couch To 5K's Facebook profile the other day that questioned whether someone made a typo when they said they ran a mile in 33 minutes. They couldn't imagine someone only running one mile in 33 minutes. My contribution to that discussion was pretty good, so I posted it on the Can Wii Do It? blog this evening. Enjoy The Art of Slow Slow Slow Running...

Goal-Setting 101: 4 Essential Elements of All Life-Altering Goals

by Joel Wagner - 0

In the past I've come up with New Year's Resolutions, and more recently Visions for the Year. They sort of helped to guide the first four to six weeks of the year, but rarely have lasted much beyond that. This year is different. This year I'm for real. I've decided to create a BHAG - a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal - for myself. I am making active steps in moving forward on the goal, and I am setting myself up to either win big or fail big.

Can Wii Do It?

Carol Richtsmeier made me do it. She has pretty much shamed me (guilted me perhaps?) into blogging through my weight loss this year with her. I'm doing it because I want to run a 5K. She's doing it because she's tired of dragging along the extra baggage. Well, me too. She's done all of the legwork and I'll do some design work when I get a chance, but she's set up a blog call Can Wii Do It? to track our progress. I suggested there might be others who would be interested in blogging through their journey (either with a Wii or without). If you are, she would probably be the person to contact since she's doing most of the

Enough Is Enough! Why I’m Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired, and What I’m Doing About It

by Joel Wagner - 4

The picture speaks for itself. It's the new year, it's time for a change. My little Wii guy isn't going to look like this much longer. He's going to get closer to a healthy weight. Wii Fit tells me that a healthy weight for me would be around 140 pounds. That's more than 100 pounds away. But a weight of 10 pounds less than now is a healthier weight than whatever he currently weighs. Weight loss I have a friend who has lost over 20 pounds in about two months. I asked him about it, and he tells me he is severely limiting how much he eats and exercising a lot. But over the holidays, he continued exercising and
