weight challenge
I challenge you to lose weight within the remainder of the year (5 to 4 months left).
That was the goal of this blog for our family and friends!
We seem to have strayed from that purpose (most of us).
So I challenge you, cabrons!
I am aiming at losing 20 lbs and at least one pants' size down by the end of December 2012.
I currently weigh 255 (July 24).
What will you lose by the end of the year?

moving alonge
I wanted to See how everyone is doing on their training. I am doing pretty good right now. I still have a lot of endurance work. I ran a total of 10.5 miles last week. I hope to run 15 this week. I am starting to lift more to strengthen my legs.

I have been running faithfully the last two months. I am now changing it up a bit. I am running intervals during the week and at the end of the week i run a continuous run with no walking breaks. I am going to try 30 min straight today. I am on track with the Ragnar training schedule, i want to start some of this core training like the program that was posted. good luck to everyone.

We need four guys to do this Freakin' race
Hey, we need to do this race.
All we need is four us guys and a $120. for our team registration by Feb. 29th.
Click on this link: http://www.vigorutah.com/project/vigor-5k-summer/
Here's blurb:
Think Amazing Race meets Survivor meets Minute to Win It. We call it Vigor. Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll encounter: plunging into a pool, swinging, climbing, chopping, balancing, push up-ing, crawling, blindfolding, sliding, and memorizing. Oh, and did we mention you will get muddy and wet? This race will challenge you like never before — mentally, emotionally, & physically.
* You can be sure there will be more obstacles and surprises on race day!
Your team will begin at Bywater park. You will go up a small flight of stairs and begin your way down the road towards Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center. Along the way you will encounter Bucket Head challenge. One teammate will hold a bucket on their head while fellow team members throw ping pong balls into bucket. Once you have three, you will be given a raw egg. This egg must finish the race with you. You teams will then arrive at the pool at the Recreation Center. One teammate will jump in and retrieve a diving ring at the bottom of the pool. Teammates will exchange the ring for a brick which must finish the race with you. Your team heads up hill and on the way compete in Card Ninja where they must throw playing cards towards a watermelon until one sticks. You'll then arrive at your first Vigor Checkpoint. If you've somehow lost your brick or egg, you can complete a challenge to get a new one. These challenges are tough, so make sure you don't crack your egg!
Your team will enter the property of Mountain View Memorial Mortuary & Cemetery. Welcome to initiation hill, this dirt hill is just a warning to what the rest of the run will hold! At the top you will climb a 7 foot Swinging Log Challenge. At the bottom of the hill there will be a poster and your teams must memorize what is on it. You will head up another hill and recite what you memorized. If you don't remember, you must go back and try again. Once you recite it perfectly, you will be given a helium balloon (with no string) that must finish the race with your team. This is the last item that your team must carry through the race. Your teams will now go through a set of trenches, cross over a tight rope, crawl under an obstacle, and swing across a rope swing. It is a possibility you will get wet and muddy, but you will not be covered, and if you are careful you can escape with minimal traces of mud and water. Vigor checkpoint #2 will await you next. Were you able to keep your egg, brick, and balloon safe? We hope so! If not, get ready for another tough challenge!!!!
Your team will then climb a 7 foot ladder obstacle and meander through the web. Next is a series of walls to climb and a cargo net climb, and then tire climb. Flag find is next where you must find your team number out of hundreds of flags. Vigor checkpoint #3 will be available to make sure you still have all your items. You will now enter back into Bywater park and go down our slip n' slide. At the bottom one team member will be blindfolded and take part in our blind side challenge. Teammates will help them complete a challenge from a distance. You'll finish off with pennies and popsicles. Your last team challenge. The good news? You'll get to keep the popsicle.
Course is a 3 MILE, Military Style Obstacle Course with 15+ obstacles for runners 9 years and older. Our course will be partly on road, dirt, and grass. You must register as a team of four, as many challenges require a team effort to complete. Runners under the age of 18 must have waiver signed by an adult and must be accompanied by an adult during the entire race.

Is there any body out there?
I had a minor set back last week, my right knee has been giving me problems.
So, I laid off running and have been hitting the weight room something fierce. Oh, yeah, the guns are looking good. Booyah!
I have a workout buddy hitting the gym with me - so that makes workouts more fun and consistent.
I hope my knee gets better, so I can hit the road and treadmill (Wyoming is cold right now).
I have been reading a lot about running and training programs. I am utilizing Jeff Galloway's website and his book on running.
Like Kyle, I have been making better food choices at lunch time and at dinner.
For breakfast, I make a fruit shake or eat oatmeal.
Jeff Galloway and all the nutritional books I have read indicate that drinking water throughout the day and eating small meals, i.e, an energy bar or an apple, will cause your metabolism to burn fat in your system. My plan is to drop 45 lbs this year - two pounds a week.

great start again!!!!
I have started a work out plan this year with my main focus on running. I am looking forward to the Hunstville race and Raspberry days race as well. I have to lose 40 lbs before i run Ragnar this year. I have been running consistently since January 2nd with a total of 18 miles ran thus far. Today I had the opportunity to run in Moab. This was a nice run outside. The scenery was great and i actually ran pretty good. I need to continue to add a mile per month on my Run. I cant wait to lose Lbs. I am making better choices when I am out of town. (this is very hard) I am limiting my Bread intake and absolutely no soda. I also do not eat fried food. This is going to be hard to do at the Superbowl. Updates on the blog helps with motivation.

Get out and workout!
I participated in 5 5ks this year.
Almost gave up drinking soda - Coke, I hate you!
I lost over 10 lbs last year. I hope to get down to 210 lbs this year.
This year I am running 1/2 of the Ogden Marathon.
My plan is to run every other day with resistance training in between running.
One tidbit for you, having an exercise plan in place will lead to success than just stating a goal.
You can't build a house without a plan, folks.
Also, research has shown that one factor for a successful exercise program is to have a workout partner.
This blog will keep us connected and motivated like a workout partner.
I am concentrating on running as my primary avenue for a cardio fitness, but any time you get out and workout, you're on the road to a better you.
Get out and workout!
Let's plan to run in Huntsville (July 4th) and at Raspberry Day's this year.
Heather and the kids have watched me hit the track and make smarter choices at dinner and they are now participating in a healthier life style.
So, the Bujans' family are all in for 2012!
Please post an entry about how you did last year on the road to a healthier you!

Shed the pounds 2012
Last year was a good year. I myself completed five separate 5k runs. Holly completed three 5k runs of her own.
I feel good that I did more in way of activity last year than many of the years before. This year I have specific goals in mind. First, my resolution was to do at least 150 crunches and 75 pushups five days a week. The first week of the year ended last night and I am happy to say that I completed my goal for the first week. 51 more weeks to go.
What I found was that the more I did the more I wanted to do. It ended up that on most days I would do more than the 150 crunches and 75 pushups. When I started 20 pushups at a time were a struggle. Last night was a banner day with 50 pushups in a row. I can only see great things coming from a good plan and perseverance in continuing to train. I would like to complete at least the same amount of 5k's this year and I am sure that I will complete more than that goal.
To everyone out there still exercising for yourself and your family continue to make goals and strive to g=keep those goals. Don't make goals that are too far out of reach. Make goals that are attainable and then reassess them as they become easier.
Good luck and see you at the finish line.
