Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open (Page 4)

Thanks I didn't eat or drink a ton so I didn't get sick - although if I had gone to town I think I might have blown chunks. My biggest problem - heacy legs and never being able to catch my breath. I finally had to down grade to 1 minute running and 1 minute walking just to get through it. Still - it was rough!

I am a manager with US Steel. I wish that it had to do with diving....scuba is kind of the reason I got into this whole thing. I needed something to do to lose weight and keep in shape for the level of diving that I do....and I guess I just went a little overboard...lol.

Tomorrow starts the logging on MFP....and after a day off of going to Urgent Care with the wife and then taking care of all the Christmas stuff in the house.....I'm hoping that tomorrow is as nice of a day as today was and after church will be a run outside....as nice as watching football while running has been, I am missing running outside.

Kyle

Kyle, I hope all is well with your wife! Urgent care is rarely good...

Well I was good and walked the dog today and yesterday and hopped on the trainer for 30 minutes - so I'm 1/28 on the s/b/r and 2 for "doing something"... Haha. We also moved all of the furniture out of our bedroom in preparation for some construction over the next 2 weeks - renovating a bathroom and our bedroom (believe me it's about time). Time to get back in the air this week and my teaching semester kicks in on the 18th. I won't have my bedroom back until probably the 19th or so. But it will be good to have everything done though. Can't wait!

DQ do you want feedback, or just someone to look at pictures? I'm in if I can help.

I'm up for a 2 pound goal for Jan (I should check the scales before I commit- we don't have one in the mountains so I'm not sure what two weeks of skiing has done to my weight.)

Today I couldn't get in the groove, but hit 40 minutes of cross country skiing (lots of messing with my left boot to avoid a blister). I'll call it a workout! 1/24.

Dave - I'm in for helping as well, feel free to text, email or whatever. I am terrible at MFP but I can try really hard to help out that way also.

Got up at 3 am and got a bike in. It was a little shorter than I would have liked but it took me a little while to get my pain cave ready. I am not sure this being out of the house by 430 to get to work on time thing is so great. But I got back in the saddle. Literally the first time since IM, I had to take my race wheels off and put my trainer wheel on last night and my race number is still on the bike. I woke up with a splitting head ache and almost talked myself out of it, but the challenge made me get out of bed. THANKS THOR for the challenge!

1/24

It's Sunday, which is the day when we give some thought to our goals from the past week and make new ones for the week ahead. (Weeks start on Monday.)

All you have to do is hit the quote button to the goal post and add yours with your initials. Putting it on one sheet will make it easier for everyone to keep track.

A couple of suggestions:

1) Pick out a beer to enjoy if you accomplish your goal this week. My goal is to drop 2 lbs and my reward is a tasty two hearted ale. I have a case of the in the fridge - but I will wait to drink one until next Sunday WHEN I accomplish my goal.

2) Choose two or three goals to focus on. These goals should move you towards your goal for the month and goal for the year.

3) Be specific. Instead of saying I want to lose weight, write I'm going to lose 2 LBS

4) Make it challenging but achievable. IMHO it's better to start with something small and achieve it than to go big and fall short.

How you can help others to achieve their goals

1) Reply to posts in the forum. Nothing is better than getting a ataboy (or girl) for something you have worked hard to achieve.

2) Go to their logs and like the tough workouts they have done. I'll leave it to Thor to explain Likes.

3) KINDLY bug people about their progress or lack there of. Example: Hey Dave - I know you made it your goal to lose 2 lbs this week, how's it going. How can I help?

DQ -1) Lose 2 lbs, 2) PT 5x, 3) Complete workouts for first week of OLY plan, 4) BTx5 days

Nice work on battling through to get the 40 minutes in. I fricken hate blisters.

I will take you up on Thor's and your kind offers to help. DM your cell phone if that works. If not, we can always do facebook.

For those interested in the Weight Loss Challenge for January... Just hit quote to add your numbers and goals to this post

DQ - I weighed in at 228 (I gained 14 pounds in 20 days - not good). January goal = 10 LBS/Weekly goal = 2

Doug- 1) lose 3 lbs, 2) 10k yds swimming, 3) 3 runs, 4) bike trainer sessions.

Edited by Hook'em 2016-01-03 8:10 AM

Doug - 1/1/16 = 251.6.  January goal = 12 lbs/weekly goal = 3 lbs.

Are there any openings in this group for 2016? Based on the name you seem like my kind of people!

My guess is Dave Q, our amazing mentor would say yes!! He posted a "get to know you" thing to fill out on the first page (2nd post maybe?). Copy and paste it and tell us a bit about yourself. Also, please put your name at the bottom so we know/can respond appropriately to who you are! That would be great.
Welcome!

I almost did squat today....hahaha, but the day is not yet over, I can still get PT in.
Today was gut the bathroom down to studs and move more junk out of the master bedroom. Ack! I did not get the trainer ride in I expected....but!!! my sis-in-law in Utah is getting up at 4:30 am her time to ride for an hour so I thought I'd get up at 6:00 (east coast time) and be on the bike until 7:00 so our times overlap! Waalaa! training partner! LOL
Guys come tomorrow to start renovating - they'll be here by 8:00 and I'll be up to my eyeballs in primer and beadboard... My early mornings will be key to get workouts in - thankful that hubby is making an effort to be around (not traveling) during construction over the next 2 weeks. That is very helpful.
Sis-in-law is going to re-do her training plan for IMMT (though neither of us has signed up for it yet....) and email it to me. Neither one of us has done much and her original plan had us starting 6 weeks ago so we are a bit behind... I had a nice long chat with her today (she's also a PT) about training - I need to step it up, she's hardcore. My 8 years senior to her is no excuse. LOL

Fire it up, people! Git 'er done!!

1) PT 5x 2) swim 3 times 3) bike 3 times 4) run twice 5) finish both flight students to wrap up their training

She's doing better today....a few prescriptions and some couch/tv time and still tired and down but better....the urgent care that we go to is roughly a extended hours dr office. so it isn't too bad....i've seen a lot worse. heck I've been in ER's that are a lot worse.

Absolutely - in the spirit of full disclosure - we do have a UT fan in the group. If you can stomach that - you are in! Be sure to fill in a bio sheet which you will find on the first page. Looking forward to getting to know you.

DQ

Who needs a mentor when Jenn does a dam fine job in her own right. Must be all that Heady Topper your drinking. It's got you at the top of your game.

1) Lose 2 pounds
2) Work out of 30 min or longer 6x this week
3) Log all food
4) not get laid off...(lol...little out of my hands but that is a goal for this week)

And beer is TBD....but just might be a Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard....

1/1/16 - 270.6 January goal = 10 pounds = 2 pounds this week (or a little more)

I didn't start seriously training for IMMT until mid-jan so you will do just fine. However - if you blow off PT - there is a CLP in your future. Come on woman - make it happen!!!

Work out 2/24 - 45 min run 11:20 pace for 4 miles

Proud to report that I ate as well today as I have since mid december. I recorded every calorie and sent pics to Scott. One day is easy... Onward!
