HELP, HELP, HELP

Hey girl,

I will gladly check in on you daily if you wish me too. And that will help me too as I have been off and on the weight wagon myself lately. I will check your log daily (prob at night) when I log my workouts. Are you keeping track of your intake? This site is good for it and so is Fitday. I thinks a few folks are also using Calorie King successfully. I think you are also on the Girl Team for the Swim/Run Challenge, aren't you?? Well best to ya and I'll be seeing you (your logs anyway   )later.

Chris

Glad to hear you are on track today and eating well.

Ask us to inspire, motivate you and we will.

Thanks but " Hey Girl" That might confuse my wife and son a lot I do appreciate everyones committment though!!

Sorry about that.  But I'll help ya' anyway. Although you might not think I'm helpful if I don't know what sex you are.  What did you do today and how is the nutrition thing going?? I'll check in after I go get my ride done.

Hmmm... might I also suggest coming back to NYI90!  We don't want to give up on you.

I'm just going to say it - YOU have to want it... US wanting it for you won't be enough.  And you have to want it enough to stick with it day in and day out.

Hey..I'm working towards a healthy weight for IMLP...so we can all try to reach out goals.

Seriously losing a few pounds will make the hills at Lake Placid or IMCDA so much easier to ride up...we are talking serious time.

So glad your first day of clean eating is done...for me giving up those tasty things first few days is hardest not later. I eat by habit more than anything...get a in a good groove and all goes well but get in a bad groove it all falls apart. Now I'm in a good groove..... 

Hope you are still on track. I've got to lose that last 10-12 before I start IM training around the first of the year...

(and still waiting to see if I got one of the coveted CF slots for CDA)

You can do it! 

Michael,
The title of this thread grabbed my attention.

FWIW.  I did Redman 140.6 last year.  This race needs to be taken seriously.  140.6 just isn't twice the distance of a HIM, which you mentioned you've done at least one.  It's a whole new ball game.  Your weight is a small factor in your ability to have a successful ironman distance race.  You need to get a grip and fuel your body the proper way, with proper foods, that will prepare you for training, racing, recovery.  You should be paying as much attention (if not more) to your diet than the other disciplines of training.  And by "Diet" I don't mean "restricted calories", but more of WHAT you eat, not how much you eat.  Stop eating things you know you shouldn't be eating and Start treating food as FUEL.  If you're serious about becoming an Ironman, then take your health and the food you eat seriously.

There.  How's that for a good scolding?
