Day 91b – Progress? What Progress?

by Bill Wallace on July 6, 2008

This is going to surprise many of you. It surprised me! In fact, I’m still a little stunned. Okay, make that VERY stunned.

The plan was for June’s exercise and weight results to be better than May’s. Not only are they not better, they are not worse.

THEY ARE THE SAME!!! (bizarrely the same! … cue Twilight Zone Music)

I am just stunned!

But the differences were in how I got the results:

  • May had 16 training (or exercise) days
  • June had only 15 training days.

The difference of one day may not seem significant but it is when I was attempting to improve June’s results.

It’s all still learning for me and I plan for July to be better than either May or June. It shows me that there needs to be more focus, and less “just thinking it’s going to happen.”

I love statistics, while 97% of them are made up on the spot, you can’t argue with figures! :)

    I love the stats as well. I think it gives you that competitive feeling which is quite important when you are competing with just yourself.

    I too am a stats freak, and find keeping them is motivating. Sorry I haven’t commented for a while, your blog in my bloglines profile has been showing inactive for a while, then today showed as 10 unread, not sure what is going on there.

    Freakily similar months – a lot of my months are similar too, but not so similar as that.

    Interesting to see your goal weight is 76kg, my goal weight (now my maintenance weight) is 75kg, so pretty similar.

    Hi Andrew, Andrew :)
    I have been a little slack these past two weeks. Not a lot of training but I really do need to get back into it. So I’m off today for a 10km run/walk. Not sure about getting the Garmin 305. Even at $213 it’s 213 I don’t HAVE to spend. Though it would be nice to know how far I am running each time without having to re-measure online or by car.
    I will start re-posting. It’s funny. I start my day by going through my bookmarks now. So thanks to you 2 for not being as slack as me!
