Ghoulies October: Team BT (Page 2)

I'm Dean, hey everyone.  set my goals a little more realistic in the October challenge knowing the workload coming up so should be on target to laugh at the Ghoulies come November......
Just out of curiousity...has anyone told the Ghoulies team what that name means in the UK? have to google it to see, but makes me smile a little inside each time I see "I'm a Ghoulie" from one of the October challenge losing team............(I know it's goolies, but still)

anyway, off to do some work so I can get a start this afternoon on the kicking of some ghoulies.......

I can't find what you're talking about, but if you type in Ghoulie in a Google search, 2 BT pages are on the first page.

Now that I see the correct spelling I see what you mean. Yes, we have them. You'll see that when we kick some BT azz this month. GO GHOULIES!!!

Finished my planks for the day. It seems like such a small accomplishment when you look at the time (4 min per day) but you should see me shake near the end.

Standard plank pose - 30sec x 2
Side plank pose - 30sec x 2
Upward plank pose - 1min
Dolphin plank pose -20sec x 3

As you can see I have a strong back (upward plank) and weak abdominals. Good think I changed to various planks from dolphin only or it would have looked more like dolphin 20sec x 6, 10sec x 12.

First run is on Sunday - 5km Run for the Cure race!

I miss that snow...

Oh I know! My core feels awsome right now. Planks are great!

I used to strength train regularly but it went on the back burner when I started endurance training. I'm trying to strike a balance now, at least for the off season.

Hi! I'm Yanti! I'm sick right now but have deluded myself into thinking I can cover 15 bike sessions and 10 running this month. (I will, even if they're short and easy--I will DIE if I don't get out from time to time)

Nice to see everybody! Even those Ghostie-Zombie (what IS their name?) people.

good morning boys n girls

my name is Mel, and I havent done my pushups/pullups yet today - but the day is young!

(I also did NOT do my 3 mile run last night - and I feel bad about it).

I'm counting on my fellow challengers to help keep my motivation up this month!


enjoy your Friday (we're getting chili delivered here at work, so it's a good day)



Mel

Thanks... now I want chili!! Nice to meet everyone - now let's take down the Ghoulies.

fix't

I hear you on the run, I missed mine last night with weather so I'm not in the best mood, will compensate tonight and a good run this weekend.

I think taking down the Ghoulies will be my inspiration this month for sure.

Hush, you muck raker.

I have this kickazz multiple award winning chili recipe--secret ingredients are Guinness and coffee.

Oh hey ... I am a Hasher ... it's really funny to get text messages like, "Meet me at the corner of X and Y streets in front of the statue for the hash." My name is 2late2cum. There's a few of us on here ... maybe it's time for a revival post in Tri Talk or CoJ.

cant go wrong.

My favorite chili recipe.

Bottle of beer and a cup of coffee for both the chili pot & the cook and you're all set.

I need to find out where to hash in my area. I just learned about it a few days ago. Sounds like a lot of fun!

I have a 3 bean chili recipe I use that I'll post after and we can share.

Spicy three bean and beef chili (modified from Food Network - Ellie Krieger)

2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 cup bell pepper diced
1/2 cup carrot diced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 3/4 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 cups water
6 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce chopped
4 tbsp adobo sauce from the can of chipotles
1 tsp dried oregano
salt + pepper to taste
15.5 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
15.5 ounce can kidney beans drained and rinsed
15.5 can pinto beans drained and rinsed
2 tbsp hot mamas xxx hot sauce (or your choice of HOT sauce)


1 - heat oil in large pot (medium heat)
2 - add garlic, onion, peppers, carrots then cover and cook stirring occasionally until veggies are soft
3 - add cumin and chili powder and cook stirring for 1 min
4 - add ground beef and cook on high heat until meat is no longer pink
5 - stir in tomatoes, water, chipotle and adobo sauce, oregano, salt and pepper, and beans
6 - dash in as much hot sauce as your crowed can handle (I use 2 tbsp hot mamas xxx hot sauce)
7 - cook partially covered stirring occasionally for 50 minutes

Ooooh, that looks certifiably yummy!

I did some core and upper body strength work today.
I am NOT a happy camper with all that's going on with my leg.  Kinda thinking I should rename the blog "total suckage"

Be patient and gentle with your body and everything will come along in time. I know it sucks, but getting angry or pushing won't help. You have a team this month to help you through it.

6 weeks of sitting on my wider by the minute keester is not makin me a happy camper.  I do only what the PT says I can do and am *rewarded* with more pain and more keester sitting.  Kinda like when I was pregnant and myOB promised he wasn't going to let me go past a certain visit without inducing me (would have been a hair early but there were issues)....then he let me go past that visit date.  Thankfully, I went into labor on my own within a few days of that visit cause the reward for good behavior shouldn't be still being pregnant (as much as I wanted my kids, being pregnant was a prison sentence where I counted down at 20 weeks cause time served was starting to be greater than time remaining)

Troof. And you have been rally, raelly good.

Remember, though, your work life could still be operating on the Suck-O-Meter and THEN it would be total suckage. Right now it's just Half-A-Suckage.

oooh...  I could also go for those!

Mmmm....beer and coffee.  The only thing that could make it more delicious would be bacon.
