Elite  3020   Bay Area, CA |  Subject: Weight Loss Challenge - OFFICIAL WEEK 1Okay, all you guys out there, waiting with bated breath for the beginning of the challenge. This is it, this is the real deal, the officially official beginning. We are starting today, and this is the REAL beginning of Week 1. Week 0 Stats: Starting Weight: 276.5, Week 0 Weight Loss: 0 Weight Loss Goal for Next Week: Lose at least one #(*& pound! Measurements: Chest: ?? Waist: ?? Hip: ?? Total inches: ??? (I did not have time to do this - I'll try and update my own stats, later on today.) Training Minutes: Swim: 60 Bike: 0 Run: 0 Hmmm... maybe that's the weight loss culprit, I'm blaming my workout issues on my new job which is taking up all of my time - literally. Workout Challenge - OFFICIAL WEEK 1: I am adding a Workout Challenge every week - cause this is supposed to be fun right?? And, sometimes I think we need to remember that we are doing this whole triathlon thing for better health and to feel better generally - sometimes it's good to step out of the box. Week 1 Challenge: Do at least 30 minutes of something you don't normally do. Ideas: Yoga, Pilates, Mtn Biking, Kayacking, play basketball etc. Rules: (a) It has to be something active (watching TV does not count) and (b) something you haven't done in at least 6 months. Now the Best Part - WEEK 1 TRIVIA What should we call our group? Hmmm... I was thinking something like the "Fat Loss Follies" and then we could refer to ourselves as the FLF's (pronounced fluffs) - but I don't know. "Challengers"? That's kinda boring though. Post your ideas, and then I will arbitrarily decide which ones I like best, and we'll have a poll. Do you have pets? Yep - one much loved cat named Nemo. He is very cool. Haven't had a dog for a long time as I don't have enough time to devote to a dog. What's your favorite movie? The Scarlet Pimpernel - an excellent film set around the time of the French Revolution. With Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour. Ok, now give me some dialogue from the movie! Sir Percy: "...I would not dream of depriving you of your moment of triumph. But alas, a moment was all I could spare." |

Pro 3903 Andover | Subject: RE: Weight Loss Challenge - OFFICIAL WEEK 1 Week 0 Stats: Starting Weight: 184, Week 0 Weight Loss: 0 Weight Loss Goal for Next Week: 182 Training For Next Week: This will be a "rest/recovery" and a "taper" week for me. Sunday, 9/19, will be my first race! I'ts not a Tri, "just" a 5 miler. Swim: 0 - Starting in Oct Bike: 20 miles Run: 14 miles Weight Training: 2 hrs (M/Tu/Th/F) Week 1 Challenge: I have a kayak fishing trip coming up in a couple weeks but, until then, I don't know that I'll be able to work anything else into the schedule. Unless, of course, mowing the lawn counts.  WEEK 1 TRIVIA: What should we call our group? LOL! I like the "Fat Loss Follies!" Do you have pets? 4 cats. Emily, Benjamin, Sarah, and Stuart "Little" Oliphant What's your favorite movie? Pirates of the Caribbean - ARRRrrr! Ok, now give me some dialogue from the movie! Barbossa: I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no." Best of luck to everyone! Rob Edited by MountainBreeze 2004-09-09 10:15 AM |

Elite Veteran 748 northern Illinois | Subject: RE: Weight Loss Challenge - OFFICIAL WEEK 1 Alas, no miracles occured between yesterday and today. So.... Week 0 Stats: Starting Weight: 137, Week 0 =weight loss 0 Weight Loss Goal for Next Week: 2 pounds Measurements: whispering,here.... Chest: 36" Waist: 33" Hips: 40.5" (ACK!!!!) Training Minutes this coming week -this is a goal for the next 7 days. We'll see how it goes. yoga: 7 hours-ish swim: 1 hour bike: 1 hour run: 90 minutes weight training: 2 hours (this is rehab-ing my shoulder, so I can get back to the swim times that I want.) miscellaneous: 1 step class Workout challenge: Maybe I did my "one new thing" last night. I took a kickboxing class. I'm really trying to come up with fun ways of increasing my aerobic endurance, which is pretty pathetic. I don't think I'll be doing much kickboxing in the future. I'm more of a yoga-doing, figure-skating-watching kind of girl. Taking a class where we pretend to hit and kick things is not fun for me. But now I know. Name for Our Group: Lean Sweep? Flab Fighters? Nope, no pets. Favorite Movie: Hmmmmm.... Pride and Prejudice, perhaps. (See, I like girl-things!) Movie quote: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possesion of a large fortune must be in want of a wife." (Don't worry, it was sarcastic even back when Jane Austen wrote it.) Now to get to work meeting those exercise goals! Good luck, all! Andrea |

Workout Challenge - OFFICIAL WEEK 1: Week 1 Challenge: I have plans to join a friend for weight lifting class on Saturday. It has definitely been at least 6 months since I bothered to do any weight lifting... Now the Best Part - WEEK 1 TRIVIA What should we call our group? I kind of like the Fat Loss Follies too. Do you have pets? I have a fish. Would love to have more pets, but the apartment won't allow it. What's your favorite movie? Hmm...Finding Nemo. I'm not sure if it is definitely the favorite, but I've certainly watched it enough. Ok, now give me some dialogue from the movie! Dory: "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."
