And I assume that you're aiming for a calorie deficit? so 300 cal over your goal should still be losing weight.

I've had a look at your diary today, other than dinner that looks like good healthy diet. You're so close! Also, you have a 4oz chicken breast at 620Cal. Man that's too high. Assuming you're measuring uncooked 4oz (110g) chicken breast should be around 175 Cal. You might want to look into that.

Hey all. I have been scarce lately. I have been lurking though.

My training came to a screeching halt yesterday. I was run off the road by a pickup while I was running. I hurt my foot pretty badly. Now I am hoping that it won't make me have to bail on the HIM in a month. I took today to wallow around in a pity party. Tomorrow I will try to get to the pool and see if I can at least swim.

Will will not talk about my lack of losing any weight....

Went back to MFP and found a 1oz cooked chicken breast. I plugged that into the last 2 days, and I ended up with leftover calories on both days... even with eating Sonic and McEwww for dinner the last 2 nights. I split my salad and chicken for lunch (there is a lot of it), and will have that with my usual PM snack stuff for dinner. That leaves me a lot of room for a snack after school if needed.

Thanks for helping me get back on the wagon, everyone!

Had a great ride yesterday, It was short but had some awesome climbs, and a couple of sprints. Really enjoyed it. Did 1250 of climbing, and PR'ed a couple of Strava segments. We will do this ride again in June, and I am hoping to really nail it hard. I stink at climbing. The two sprints we did I Pr'ed and almost beat the fastest in our group.

Today is a "recovery ride", will take it nice and easy. Tomorrow is a light swim. Sunday I have a Sprint tri I am doing. Does anyone have a Fenix 3 and know how to setup the tri for a reverse tri. May or may not be on tomorrow. Keep logging your job and keep up the good work. It is so great to be able to share my journey with others.

Have Fun Always,

John

Originally posted by AussieTurtle Hi All Who's up for a group challenge? Let's start with something easily achievable How about minimum 30 minutes workout each day for 1 week. You'll need to update your training log daily and check in every 2-3 days. Who accepts the challenge?

My next point, is your calorie goal. 2,500Cal seems alot to me if you're wanting too loose weight. I assume that it was calculated for you my MFP? How much deficit does that give you? MFP tells me 1600 cal/day target (sedentary, 261lbs for a 1000 cal/day deficit). For someone who's not doing much training at the moment 2,500 might be a bit high. If you're eating well (lots of fruit and veg) like you have been 2,000 cal can be a lot of food. and should be manageable for you. Remember that 500 cal/day turns into a pound a week

How about Wednesday?

Allllrighty then...

I was trucking through logging my diet (even logging Pei Wei where they apparently add sodium by the tonne...), and I hit a speed bump. If y'all remember, Amy (the lovely Mrs. Me ) had a particularly nasty kidney stone about 6 months ago. Well she popped another UTI, so they did the scan. I'll give y'all 3 guesses as to what they found... and the first two don't count. She went in on Friday to have the sonic procedure done on the stone. Everything seemed to go swimmingly until Sat morning. I was a couple of miles into my ride, and she called me with a 101+ temp. I swung the bike around and hauled arse back to the house. A quick trip to the ER had her staying over Sat and Sun nights, with a late discharge yesterday. So, in the interest of full disclosure: what I ate, much less logging what I ate, fell to the wayside.

As far as my Sunday weigh-in goes, it didn't happen either. I'll get my mid-week in the morning.

It's also kind of depressing seeing that lonely 5mi ride on my training log. Going to have to get him some company

Checked it out. I was set at:

Starting: 276lb
Height: 5'9"
Goal: 200
Lightly Active
Loss/week: 1lb

If you look, you can see that I changed it back to sedentary because it dropped to 2180cal/day. I believe I had it set on Lightly Active because I am an Auto Tech, therefore I am all over the shop most of the day. Add in the teaching at night (I think better when I walk), and I believe I genuinely fall under that category.
