Veteran 413 jenks | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! I weighed in at the gym this evening before dinner and I have put on 5 pounds. My goal was to add 6 pounds of muscle through the winter months. My waist has gone from a 33 to a 31. Goal is almost met. Already I am running fast and biking stronger. upper leg measured 3/4 inch bigger. Arms measured 1/2 inch bigger. Now lets go racing. |

Veteran 385 | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! QUOTE] Woo hoo!!! How is everyone else doing so far this week?? This has been a little strange week for me. I did a 50 mile bike ride on Sunday on a very windy day and the route was pretty hilly. The result is that I have paid for it in the way I have felt this week. The fatigue factor is in effect. The running miles are starting to increase, we will see how the body responds. Overall, I am happy with where I am considering all of the other aspects that life throws your way as you all know. |

Master 3888  Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! Was down with a cold Wed thru Saturday. I rested Sunday, then did an AM swim Monday, then spin in the evening. Ran 6 miles yesterday so back on track for the most part. Tonight should be spinning plus a short run but I may go to dinner with a few clients so spin may be out, then it will be just a run. |

Left work early today, got home and and noticed it was only 4:30 - I have enough time to get a bike ride in before dark. Quickly changed and jumped on the bike - Great ride. Forgot how good it is to ride mid week. -Steve |

Veteran 385 | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! Does anyone have any diet advice or areas I should look for as I start increasing my mileage on the run and the bike? I seem to feel more tired as my mileage is increasing. |

Veteran 413 jenks | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! last year when I was ramping up for my HIM, I made sure I cut ut as much greasy food as possible, it made me feel even more fatigued. I also started padding extra protein to help muscles rebuild. peanut butter in Oatmeal or on a bannana, with the whey protein right after a ride. This helped my body get the extra protein but not all in one dose. Other athletes told me that the fatigue is normal and your body will make adjustments. I also did three weeks of adding miles then on the 4th week backed off to let my body recover again before adding more mileage. Hope that helps. |

I am doing the 3 week build up and the one week recovery, but I have not changed my eating habits to accommodate the extra work load on the body. I probably need to do a meal plan just like an exercise plan in order to make sure I am getting the additional protein. Thanks again |

So, I try to focus on having healthy food on-hand when I want it. |

My son's 1st birthday is today and we are having a party for him tomorrow. That means lots of time today and tomorrow getting ready. I am hoping for a run sometime tomorrow and a bike ride on Sunday. Just have to see how it plays out. Hope everyone has a great weekend. |

Master 3888 Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! No big plans for me this weekend (that I know of). I need to get in some good runs. Maybe go for a 10-11 miler tomorrow or Sunday. Can't wait for it to warm up and the daylight savings to change so I can have after work runs/rides etc. Maybe this weekend I should come up with some kind of nutrition plan. I know my eating habits need some serious work. |

Member 71 | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! Well I was going to run a 5k but going to do my 11 miles tomorrow instead and get on the bike Sunday morning. I need to work on my meal plan as well. More so because I get so bored with things. I dont eat meat only fish so I really need to explore my different options and get enough of it! |

Pro 6191 | Subject: RE: Elaine's Awesome Start to 2012 Group! - Closed! Regarding meals: I'm actually trying out a service called Relish. Every week, they give you new recipes. You pick the ones you want to cook, and it creates a pdf of your shopping list and recipes. At $7 a month, it's pretty cheap. There are sample recipes on the site if you're interested. They seem (mostly) well-balanced and they list the nutrition data.
