Solid on staying active. The nutrition part... well, I'm doing the best I can. Question of the day: do jalapenos and artichoke hearts on a pizza count as a serving of veggies?  Well......they ARE vegetables......is the quantity really a serving size? I'm thinking the two combined might have been. The pizza place gives this little plastic container that holds a quarter cup of jalapenos as a side. I mowed through those. Between the two slices of pizza, there was probably about a half dozen artichoke hearts. I know, I'm grasping... no. a half-cup of veggies is a half-cup of veggies. If eat a half-cup of chili paste in a day here--and I can and I have--you betcha I'm counting it, especially since I'll probably have blown off half my face in the process  OK. OK. OK. You're right  I like that chili paste idea though...I loves me some hot and spicy! |

Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: January Training and Nutrition Challenge Happy weekend everyone. This challenge does have me working harder on my diet - I have lost 1.5 pounds since its inception. It was three - but then there was that night at Buffalo Wild Wings....  My only run since the start was today. Pretty darn cold - 4 degree windchill. I ended up making a light workout out of it - 1 mile jog and then some speed work. I did not speed at my 5K race pace - but the pace I wish it was! hopefully next week will be better. |

Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: January Training and Nutrition Challenge TriAya - 2011-01-08 11:03 AM No, I just don't think of weight as "lost" since lost usually implies you would like it back....KOM - 2011-01-08 10:19 PM Hummus is a veggie? really?! Wow my point count can go way up!! I have removed 4.5 lbs since the beginning of the month. I am sure some of that was water from all the holiday ham & salty goodies, but a lot is just better water intake and nutrition in order to get my points!! Thanks to you all! I always try to avoid losing weight- don't want anyone to think I am looking for it to return. Have a great weekend all and Happy Training!! there is hummus among us great job on the poundage ... wait, do you mean you always try to avoid 'gaining' weight? I try to remove it. Hopefully never to return! |

Veteran 123 Maryland | Subject: RE: January Training and Nutrition Challenge I'll apologize for being quiet so far this challenge, but I'm not much of a forum troll (no offense to anyone who is fond of trolling). I thought I could at least give a weekly update. First, I wanted to congratulate everyone for their hard work, numerous minutes, copious veggie eating, and great water drinking. Some people have reported some impressive weight loss so far, and congratulations are definitely in order. For me, this challenge has been good, but filled with lots of pain. My knees hurt like hell from all of the running I've been doing (first marathon is in early March). Worse than that though, is the havoc I've brought upon my body from eating so many fruits and vegetables. I don't know if I'm the only one to go from 0-1 servings of fruits and veggies a day to 6-8, but that will cause some serious digestive stress if you make that kind of change. This week has been a bit miserable for me in some respects, but I won't go further into the more dirty details. In the end I did manage to lose 5 pounds of holiday cheer that needed to go. This challenge has been a lot of fun for me so far. Good job to everyone, and I hope you are all able to keep up the good work. Edited by johnnyfulltime 2011-01-08 8:32 PM |

Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: January Training and Nutrition Challenge I finally got off my lazy rear and did some actual training today... A little snow shoveling, swimming, running, biking and crunches. I'm tired. I did ok on the water and fruits/veggies. Nothing stellar, but better than I thought. It's hard!!! I really need to work on the lack of junk food next week... good thing the Bills are done (like they haven't been done from week 1 but I won't go there) and I have no football food to tempt me tomorrow! |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: January Training and Nutrition Challenge I went shopping today and finally found a business suit and even got another pair of dress pants for over 50% off. Then got home walked the dog, 55 minutes on the trainer, and a Jillian Michaels DVD so I got a good workout in today. I'm headed back to Clemson tomorrow, a day earlier than planned but I gotta beat this bad weather that's coming in sunday night/monday. So I'm supposed to be leaving at 10 tomorrow morning. Haven't started packing yet and it's 1. Packing is just so boring to me and therefore I always put it off until I absolutely have to do it. Supposed to be getting up at 8 hopefully getting some sort of workout in then packing up the car and driving back to Clemson. I'm really ready to be back though. I miss everybody so much. I have my own little "family" there and it's going to be great to have everyone back together again. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: January Training and Nutrition Challenge QueenZipp - 2011-01-10 2:24 AM I got up early to swim, now I need to find the motivation to get on my trainer. I got up early to swim. I wound up swimming and running (helps, of course, to be accompanied by a piglet who over and over again keeps begging to know what he can do for me/the tri club, anything, articles, advertisements, promotion, hitting the road, organizing people/events ... after all, he's semi-retired, doesn't work, and just loooves triathlon and does that for a 'living') ... I spent 1hr 43min putting together the rest of that &%$F#@!!! trainer and trying to get a bike on it ... and did actually wind up riding for 25 minutes, so ... I think you can at least manage to get on your trainer, if not even ride it for a bit. |
