Yes, I am heading out friday late morning.  Can't wait

Hoping to get to the pool tonight.  It has been awhile so I am looking forward to it!  John plays in a wiffle ball league on Wednesday nights but I think he is staying home due to a cracked rib from this weekend.  If he stays home, I should get to the Y.  What does everyone else have planned for today?

Hey guys - Sorry I have not been around much - I could probably spend a day just catching up on everything-haha.  So I was somewhat able to stick to a workout and diet routine.  Missed today but I will just make up for it on Friday.  They had a small pool at the hotel that was about 12Y long but when I went to go yesterday there was about 20 kids in there so I decided it probably wouldn't be a good workout although I thought it would simulate an OWS.

I realize I have turned into a total tri-geek.  We are working on a cool project at Kennedy Space Center on the Shuttle Launch Pad 39B so I have been basically sitting on the pad for 10 hours a day watching my guys work.  All day i wish I had my bike here because they have miles and miles of perfectly paved roads that I would kill to ride on.  And then the crawler road that they roll the shuttle out on is miles of a stone paved road that would be great for running.  But instead I can only dream of working out out here and then reality hits when I get back to the Ramada with the 1970's themed gym with a bike, old tread mill and beat up weight bench with a bunch of 3lb. weights - lol

Looking forward to getting back home to get back on a regular schedule.

Hope everyone has or had a great week and good luck with everyones upcoming races!

I just went to check out your log and it is private. 

Weighed myself again this morning, and I lost 2 pounds!  That doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm happy with it.  I'm afraid I'll gain it back with exams next week, but I just have to get better with time management so that I don't miss any workouts.  Ughhhh I'm dreading exams.

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!  I wish I could be!  I think I convinced Ryan to do a 5k with me in Kenosha that apparently has like obstacle courses on the run!  That's the end of May, so we'll see! 

Have a good day!

Way to go!  2 pounds is still 2 pounds gone!!

Sorry, I've been having some "problems" so I'll get you added as a friend and then you will have access. :D

Beyond frustrated that I gained .2 this week.  I have been trying so hard.  I know it is only .2 and I might weigh myself again tomorrow, but that just sucks!

  I know the feeling!!  I have been pretty discouraged about the lack of weight loss!

Don't worry about .2 :D  Just keep working at it and you'll lose weight. I am proud of you all!!!

And guess what!!! I didn't TOTALLY fail my stats exam. :D  One more Stats test and then NO MORE STATS.... EVER!!! 

COME ON MAY!!!

Hey Debbie, I know mentally it sucks...but we all know how hard you have been working and you will see results.  So many things factor in your weight on a daily basis.  We still like you!

Quick question...I noticed you have some nutrition on your logs on some days.  Are those accurate?  I ask b/c I noticed one day was under 700cal.  I really hope you are eating more than that.  Under eating can have negative effects on your body and most people should be getting at least 1000-1200 a day.  I generally aim for about 2000.

Courtney...you still having those "problems"?  We still can't see your logs (or at least I can't). 

Agreed!  If you take in too few calories, it can be more detrimental to your weight loss!  Sometimes your body will retain fat just because it doesn't think you're taking in enough.  I took in too few calories on a diet earlier this semester, and I saw zero results.  Even the people on the biggest loser are taking in 1200!

You're doing fine though!  Don't worry about a small weight gain, just focus on long-term goals!  You can do it!

I am... I thought I had you added as a friend so that you could see me...hmmm I will make sure I have you right. Check again in a bit and let me know if it changes. :D  Thanks

What happened!? Is everything okay? 

I'd love it if you'd add me as a friend, too!  I enjoy checking your logs, it's great motivation! 

I sent you a PM and I am adding you ;D

Courtney...still not allowing me.  Did you go into your settings and then privacy settings?  There is a box in there you have to check to allow your friends only to see you.

Ok everyone... try again for me please :D  You should be good to go :D

It works!!!! Winner winner!

Thank you!

Thanks guys!!! it relly shows that you care that you are checking my logs :D  I need to push in motivation this upcming month... I have my first Oly, and I don't feel ready. :S

I guess right now I am just focusing on getting through this weeks tri and then finals... and then.... My Oly.

I biked the course ( Oly) and it is TOUGH, plus the weather in St George is CRAZY windy... I could barely breathe while riding. I guess that is all part of what's making me so nervous.

SO PLEASE... PUSH ME!!!! I NEED IT!!!!

( and I love it )

T1 - Even though I've been working out often, it's still not a long enough for me. (*cough* that's what she said *cough*).  In undergrad, I was in the gym for like 1.5-2 hours a day!  I miss that a ton.  I did my tri training and boot-camp style stuff every day.  I want to get back to that!  Hopefully this summer...

Courtney - I want that jacket you have for sale!  It's awesome.  I have no money though, so I can't buy it anyway.   It's funny that I've been searching through my stuff to see if I have anything to trade...hahaha.  Good luck selling it though! 


How has everyone else been doing today?  The forum has been kind of slow lately! 

LOL @ the that's what she said!!!!

And you'd like the jacket! Even though it's made for a man.... It's great , but too big for me right now. No one has made any reasonable offers.... so if you change your mind let me know :D I want it to find a good home

Thanks for the motivation.  My nutrition logs are incomplete.  I have been good about putting stuff in in the morning and then once I get home I forget or get busy with my little girl and home stuff.  I have been eating at least 1200 calories a day....if not more!  I did weigh myself again today and was 158.8 which is down a pound.  I think I just didnt have a good weight day and I cannot weigh myself in everyday or I become too obsessive.  I think I just need to make Thursday my weigh in days. 
We shall see...and it is only like 2 weeks since I really started "training" so I think it does take some time. 
Thanks again for the encouragement....it means a lot!

I am home with the boys today and no plans for an actual workout.  My husband left for work around 5:30 this morning and I won't see him again until 8:30ish tonight.  I plan on painting during naptime and after Logan goes to bed.  Today's project is the boys' bathroom.  I have three bathrooms and Joe's bedroom to paint over the next couple of weeks.  It is really nice here so we will be running around the backyard a lot!  John has another long day at work tomorrow.  My sister is taking Joe for a few hours so I will get a good run in with Logan!!    What does everyone have planned today?
