DOWN for the Holidays! (Page 18)

OMFG.. HIlarious!!! Love the little arms. 

LOVE the dog costumes!  I wanted to dress mine up, but she was having absolutely NONE of it.

Been tough the past couple of days -- uncle passed away, garage broke, dog needs to go to the vet -- but still managing to hang in there nutritionally even though I haven't been training much.  All day I've been hearing the vending machine calling my name, but I've somehow walked away!  Go, me!

Might be able to do some training today, but it'll depend on the guy who's coming over to fix the garage and how long something like that takes.  Regardless, I'll have something healthy for dinner -- weigh-in tomorrow will keep me in line.

That sounds like a great regime. I like protein bars and bananas for quick pick me ups. The protein bars are kinda sweet but I don't feel like they are as bad as a candy bar. 

Apples are awesome too, and they keep well. 

It's Friday!!!

I did yoga last night and I find it just knocks me out - pressed snooze and slept through my morning workout!

So I weighed in and while it's moving in the right direction it's moving VERY s-l-o-w-l-y!  Down to 141.9 - half a pound from last week - 1.1 total.  Now if I could stay away from the mini chocolate bars I might see more progress!!!

All the lifting and carrying up and down is a great workout as well.  Sounds like you covered cardio and strength those 3 days 

Happy Friday!  Not much movement for me this week.  Did great on workouts, but seems like I had something sloppy creep into the diet every day this week.  I'd be going along well, then make impulsive bad decisions. Yesterday I had a Mexican buffet and margarita for lunch.  Really want to see some movement this week, so I'm going to be less impulsive and more thoughtful on my food choices!

Good morning guys and Happy Friday!!!

Did a bit of a long run (for me) yesterday so I let myself sleep in today.

Nutrition has been pretty good for me this week.. i lost a pound.. very slow going. But I am staying on track with what I am eating so I feel good about that. :=)

"regimen"

I need to go back to spelling school... 

Pretty decent news from my little corner of the world...

Weight is only down 0.2 from last week, but I expected that... my weight loss usually goes like this:  lose a chunk (i.e. 3 pounds last week), then gain about 0.5 to 1.0 and hover there for a few weeks, then lose another chunk.  So, I'm in that hovering phase right now... actually pleased that I'm a little bit below last week's weigh-in.

The good news, though, is this... I do monthly measurements and today was measurement day and FINALLY things moved in the right direction.  Lost a few inches all over.  I knew this from how my clothes were fitting, but it was rewarding to see the numbers.

This past month has been good:  dropped about 6 pounds and over 4".  I'm only about 3 pounds away from where I started out the year (my goal is to be below that number by year's end).

Down another 0.4 lbs this week.  It could have been more but considering all the beer and cake (no candy though) I ate this week, I will take it. 

HAPPY RATTLESNAKE FRIDAY! (I warned you I was into snakes ):

I usually do great throughout the day but the evenings kill me. Last night, milk & cookies as well as a chocolate girardelli chocolate square. Need to have like... more carrots available. Those tend to tide me over really well.

Wednesdays and Fridays are really hard to get workouts in because I'm busy all day, and sleep is scarce. However today after work I'm planning on getting my long run in, hopefully before it gets dark. After the run I'm gonna knock out some easy laps in the pool just to keep my technique up, but I don't need much in terms of swimming fitness and speed as far as the triathlete goes. TGIF.

136 Up 2 pounds this week....Not so great on water consumption.  I think I do better when I weigh everyday.

Off to NJ this afternoon, not sure if I can much internet access.  I have my iPhone, but I hear its' tough getting on line.  we shall see.

My weight has been all over the place this week but I ended up with a new 2 pound loss.  I am sure that's mostly water but I'll take it. 

Workouts have been going well too. We have a lot of rain forecast for the weekend, keeping fingers crossed that doesn't interfere with outdoor running and biking.

Not sure if it's coz I am using Safari on a Mac, but, I cannot see certain jpegs. I when someone uses the direct link I can see the image.. but the image code I cannot...
