Veteran 148 Northwest Arkansas | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED OK. Turns out I had my facebook security screwed down so tightly nobody could find me. I've fixed it now (I think). Sorry for the general post here but for some reason the PM's I've sent are stuck in my outbox. ??? Anyway, if you want to find me on FB here's how.  |

The best part is the confidence I have right now. I am really looking forward to running tomorrow after work. Thanks for reading. I have really appreciated the positive support from this group which has drawn me out a little as well as provided some friendly accountability. Thanks. Thanks for sharing. Moving is good and getting pumped up is better. Keep up with the nutrition. |

Regular 71 Hertford,Hertfordshire | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED FBtrin never be sorry for sharing the ups and downs that come with trying to lose weight and exercise. Im in the same space as you on that and have tried over the years to lose it too. work for me is also very intense so i share the problems of trying to maintain a healthy eating balance. great work on the exercise, its the high days like today that get you through the low. Keep going down 2 at midweek is a great start for a 4-5 lb loss week. |

Expert 1452 Troy, MI | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Shout out to my friends: I need your input. I want your opinions. The team I am on requires 5 triathlon/bike races/duathlons during the season. I am registered for 3 already. I plan on registering for the other 2 ASAP. There is a coupon for elite endeavors (event production company) that expires on Jan. 18. I leave in the afternoon to go to Tampa for work (I wish I could stay home with my daughter, I will be missing taking care of her and a singing competition-solo ensemble I want to do an olympic distance. I just am not sure if I want to do a du or a tri. So here are the pros for the tri: Swim-my weakness, never competed with a 1500m distance, easier than a 5k; cons- swimming-I no longer have a coach and I don't swim much. I will be starting a plan but my weakness; 5 strong people in my AG and I've never ever placed, even by default (important to the team and bragging rights). Pros for the du: I don't have to swim, decreased anxiety, no one in my AG last year; cons-hard on lower body, harder than tri, I am a 10-12 min/mile runner, it is usually scorching out in August in Ohio and the swim would keep me cooler. Please give me opinion: Olympic Tri or Du (1500m swim or 5k/40k/10k) |
) until Sunday so I need to think and act soon. | 2010-01-14 8:04 AM in reply to: #2612740 |
Veteran 291 | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED jogo - 2010-01-13 8:24 PM My vote is the Olympic Tri (only because it is on my goal list and I need others to be doing their first so we can encourage each other to make it happen) but on the other hand you have to do what feels right, which one will challenge you the most that you think you can be ready for? Enjoy the time in Tampa, I hate traveling but at least you are going somewhere warm. At least I think it will be warm now.Shout out to my friends: I need your input. I want your opinions.

Please give me opinion: Olympic Tri or Du (1500m swim or 5k/40k/10k) Quickly here....since you're already doing 3 tris and training for those, an Olympic could be your "A" race that you could focus on, especially for the swim. Now, knowing that you want to get points, then a DU would be better based on last year's list of peeps. However, which is more important...personal goals or take it for the team? I think you'll be pleased that you challenged yourself in the Olympic and who knows, perhaps not everyone will show back up this year from last year's list and hey, people might move to a different AG too. So my vote is for the Olympic too. Have a good day folks!! I was muy busy yesterday and didn't have time to inspire or check on folks. I apologize. Hope to catch up with you guys later. |

Member 125 Chelsea, MI | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Okay folks, need a kick in the pants. I do great when I plan ahead (last week is a terrific example), and exceptionally poorly when I don't (the last two days are a good example of that). I'm still trying to make planning a habit, but sometimes I'm just tired and have trouble focusing; then when I'm rested and could do it, I'm in the busy rush of the day and it's too late. Ideas? |

Veteran 291 | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Heather,Looks like you have a plan on your main page, just follow that and do the best you can, even if you do a small portion. Half the battle for me is just showing up and that means at the gym, or just putting my running shoes on as a start. Or jumping in the pool and not worrying about how far I am going to go. What ever I can do to move me towards that workout, getting the running shorts out and having them ready. Whatever it takes....I have to play little games with myself to move me towards that workout, put the running shoes in my way even if I trip over them, put post it notes up as a reminder....what ever it takes.... |

I'm still trying to make planning a habit, but sometimes I'm just tired and have trouble focusing; then when I'm rested and could do it, I'm in the busy rush of the day and it's too late. Ideas? I'm not very good at kicking people in the pants..... I so know what you're talking about. For me, (if it wasn't for my crossfit schedule) I have a hard time doing workouts if I wait until after work. I am often tired, or I can just make an excuse to not do it. What works best for me is if I plan the night before, lay out my clothes and shoes and set the alarm and psych myself up the night before and PLAN for a workout the next morning. As you said, planning is the key. And this is the purpose of our group...accountability. I guess we need to kick more around here......LOL!! |

Veteran 291 | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Need to fit a brick in tomorrow some how, have to try and get up early and bike and run before going to look at an apartment for my daughter up at school, 2 hour drive. It will be nice to see her, even though she has only been back to school for a week, then watch some football games. On Sunday want to try and scope out trail run for next weeks 5k, maybe do a slow run and see what the trail is like. Should be fun, I love running trails...Hope everyone has a great weekend and gets in some good runs, bikes, swims....fun, family...and a little food. |

Veteran 148 Northwest Arkansas | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Decided to try a new calorie tracker since I'm not in the 21st century and have an iPhone. I downloaded the LoseIt app and will give it a try. I like the idea of having a way to record foods on the spot so I don't have to remember when I get home. I don't like having to reenter all of my meals and foods on the iPhone. We'll see how it goes. Anyone else using this app? |

Master 1848 Canandaigua | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Great day for a race up here around 35 degrees and kinda sunny. Third in a series of 6. Mike ran a low 23, I hit 25:30. Lot better then last years race as the high was 6 degrees. Kinda started fast and slowed down as always. Mike and I are hitting the road again tomorrow for a long run.

Regular 71 Hertford,Hertfordshire | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Its the mid month point so time to review my goals for January.

Weight loss 10lbs If I achieve the run part of the goals. I will look to enter a winter duathlon in february Well so far so good 5km non stop - COMPLETED. did 2 x 6.7km runs last week - still cant figure this!! Reduce 400m to 9mins - On course as last swim was 9:38 Ride in sub 47 - this is in jeopardy as weather has prevented the riding so far lose 10lbs - 6 down, 4 to go happy with most areas to date.
