Mav's Massachusetts Mentor Group/Full for the Season (Page 12)

Weigh in - down three lbs to 175 from 178

Got a three mile run with one mile on the elliptical this weekend ( I HATE to run). Swam 1700 meters last night (30 min). Probablly ride and lift tonight.

My water intake is still not right, I drive all day in providence, and public restrooms are tough to find.

TriB4Bride....you are on the South Shore, no?  Join us! 

Oh My that is a lot.  We used to drink that much too; it took time to cut down.  We started making the pot half-decaf, stopped keeping DC in the house (but I still drink them out and about), make a pitcher of tea every day, then cut the tea with decaf/green/herbal.  When I was seriously counting fat grams, I started measuring out only 1 cup of whole milk first thing, and I would drink coffee until my milk was gone, then stop.    Good luck!  I think you will sleep better.  Have you tried melatonin for sleep?

Great job on the weight!   And I'd say that is a Fast Swim

WOW great pace

Hi I AM HERE!

I survived Zoe's first stomach bug!  I havent done a bit of exercise since friday but I did weather another 'first time mom' milestone!

Is this the Foxboro race were talking?  Could me a GREAT motivator for me. Its my husbands Day off, its not at the "butt crack" of dawn, and its short money. So lack of preparedness aside.. I have NO Excuse.

YAY!!!!! SO glad you can make it!!!! Also glad to hear that you and your baby survived the first bug,,,never fun;(

Come on ...who else??????????????????????????????????????

Good Morning. Going to be another beautiful day of warm winter temps!!!

Today is the start of a new month. Try to pick something you want to work on for the month. My goal is to try to get all my strength training done. It tends to be the one thing I dont do if I dont have time. Its important and I cant skip it this month.

I am going to ride outside again today!!! Yesterday was sunny and in the 40's. Today will be almost 60...crazy wonderful winter

Natalie...you still with us....

Anyone else doing the virtual run for Sherry Arnold (the woman from Montana who was abducted during her morning run) to be held on Saturday, Feb 11th?

I had not heard about this but will deinately do this one. Thanks Kristen

Great day for riding yesterday. In the past week I have biked 125 miles...outdoors!!!!! Did everyone get a chance to do something outside yesterday?

I actually cleaned my bike after riding yesterday. I know there is some salt on the roads and it eats bikes just like it does cars. So if you do get a chance to ride outdoors...be sure to wipe your bike down and take a dry cloth to the chain to get off any salt. Also...every other ride you should lube your chain...It will extend the life of your components

Is everyone drinking their water????

Quiet day in here yesterday.  What's everyone up to today?  I am not sure what I am doing training wise.  Life wise it's another busy one.  Surprise!  

Anyone racing this weekend?

Sorry I have been off the radar screen. I have been working 10-12 hours every day and haven't had time to post much.

Bought my first pair of bike shoes on Wednesday and tried them out on the spin bike at the Y. This weekend I plan to install my new pedals on my bike. I also bought a skewer for the indoor trainer. I figure  better try being clipped in in the comfort of my own home before I make a fool of myself in public. The guys at Landry's were very helpful, but those kinds of technical stores make me nervous. It's kind of the same with ski equipment; you want the stuff but have no idea, really, what is good and what's not unless you're an expert. It is amazing how light the new bikes are these days. I should weigh my old 1978 Fuji and compare. Back in the day I thought I was really somethin' with that bike!

My walk/run this morning went pretty well, but I am reluctant to sign up for that race in Foxboro. Last time I was running, I hurt myself by doing too much too soon. I also tend to get kind of carried away at races. Maybe I'll feel better about signing up next week. Also, I think I should try running on some flatter area -- like maybe the track at the high school -- to get a better idea of my stamina in a place like Foxboro, which I'm sure is way flatter than my town.

This is another week where I have to work Sunday night, so I want to try to get in as much working out tomorrow as possible.
