Body Composition Challenge (Page 10)

laurak11 - 2011-08-09 6:09 AM Forgot to mention offically got my foot in a boot.... MRI on Monday... pretty sure it's a SF that I've been nursing since March due to IM training/pushing to hard to fast.... Either way it will be good to know, and I've already come to terms that I'm in for alot of swimming/biking!

To track how many calories I have burned in the last week, I am using a Droid App called Cardio Trainer.  It puts a little box in my notification bar on my phone.  I want to keep this over 3000 (just 2500 for the last 7 days so I need to do more work) which lets me know that I have burned at least one pound of fat in the last week.  I then need to just keep my diet in check and I will accomplish my goals.

I just though I would share.

I thought I should post my photos from today here as well as in my log.  Photos are so honest that I feel guilty I was not as strict with my food intake (ate a lot of unnecessary junk last week) or workouts (skipped a bunch).  This honesty motivates me for the next week so here it goes:<

BigDH - 2011-08-09 8:00 AM it is good motivation. I was thinking of changing my avitar to my picture, ha, probably be a little too much public motivation for most people though.

BigDH - 2011-08-09 8:59 AM looks nifty, why don't you just rely on BTs calorie tracker?

Week 1 Results are below.  I did consider creating a Google doc spreadsheet but I like tracking our progress personally.  With Google docs, I feel it would be easier for someone to quit (not that you would) the challenge (I have seen this with myself).  By tracking each one of you and myself personally, we all are accountable to someone besides ourselves.  I have decided not to track BF% since we are all measuring this differently or not at all (which is fine as it is just another measure to track success).  It still is a good thing to measure weekly if you have the capabilities (I still cannot find my calipers!  My sons may have used them to measure something somewhere).

Keep up the inspiring progress--I know I need it to get my diet in check.  The problem is that when I run more (relay coming up so that is all for me right now), my appetite is out of check and I eat, eat, eat.  The hell with portion size.  This has got to change for me to see my line head south.

I'm always so envious of people that can find scenery like that just outside their front door.

I've been doing so good these past couple of days but they are having a bake sale for charity and I cheated - and it wasn't good - that's the worst.  I'm all for the 80/20 but if the cheat isn't good quality tasty food then it's just a total waste.  Fortunately it was a small cheat.

Hope everyone is having a good day. Rainy up here!

Green Mountain Cam???  If so - that is my go to spot when I get home to ride and run - Dinosaur Ridge is so much fun

That is why we are going to keep this up until October 31 or even longer--whatever it takes to meet our goals!
