DOWN for the Holidays! (Page 21)

are you a Traditionalist or not? 

????

Now, now... that would be like a shot of crack.  The first hit releases all the endorphins built up in the brain at once, giving the ultimate high.  Every hit after that is taken in an effort to achieve the same high, but to no avail.  We can't have that!  You hafta go slow!

They're all badazz! 
I'll post a teaser of me in my UtiliKilt Mocker, just before the OBX Tri (though, I'm sporting Vans sneakers and my traditional "TapouT" pre-race shirt [a story for a different time if asked]). 
I'll do up a combat booted shot in the kilt I plan to wear to a shipmate's wedding this coming Saturday.  I just gotta find the camera with the timer.?

Usually, I let this question go unanswered.  Today, I'll just pique the ladies' interest levels with this.  See my comment at the top of page 2.  That should do the trick.  ;-)

Bet you thought I was gonna forget the teaser.  NOPE!!

BG Info... I always wear a TapouT shirt before a race.  ALWAYS.  This was taken after my friend, Beth, and I finished setting up our transition areas.  She's much better at it than I am.  We were still about 2 hours from gun time when this was snapped. 

The IM I am doing next is pancake flat in Key West so I have been riding flat courses on my computrainer to get use to flat, steady state rides. It took me 4 hrs and a  few seconds to go 85miles at about 224 Watts avg.

You got me thinking so I went and looked it up. I am at 3355 miles biking this year, and I have done 1 IM 1 HIM and I think a total of 6 other rides outside. So about 3000 of those miles have been on the trainer. I love the trainer and the treadmill. I have two little kids so most of my training is late at night in my basement.

what I was able to come up with for today 22.5 hours and 77.4 miles of running 

Nice day for those who could get out (or do overnight treadmill runs as the case may be - amazing) for others - I hope you overcome your ailments (self induced  and otherwise)  

Have a great November!!!

Got in 1:15 on the bike or 26 miles and then a  4 mi run after to throw into the mix.

Had a pretty rough week of eating. Concert on Monday, Halloween, gone over the weekend. Need to clean up my act this week although we have dinner plans tomorrow night and then going to see Zac Brown Band Thursday night.

Am i too late to join in? I tried to join the weigh in mondays forum but it seems that it has been abandoned and i am the only one posting anything. I really need to be accountable especially over these next coming months. I will post a little more about myself when i hear back from you guys.

I look forward to hearing from you

Absolutely Diane :-) Welcome to "Down with the Holidays". 

A Challenge for the Week.

Eat as much green as you can. 

Lets have a mini-contest.

Who can eat the most servings of green veggies this week?

Keep track of your servings and we can report either on Friday or Sunday. 

had an amazing run this morning

Challenge on the green veggies accepted!

You sound like my husband. 

He'll eat anything slathered with blue cheese...

Awesome idea!! Count me in!

Name: Sara

Basics: In my 30's currently 135 lbs

Goal: Shooting for 125! Although I'd be happy with 130 if I'm toned!

Activity: Jogging a few days a week and incorporating fitness programs. Currently doing the Insanity Asylum -- but looking into ordering the Insanity Asylum Volume 2. Anyone else want to take this on with me?? Workout buddies are welcomed!!

Dieting: Cutting down meals into smaller portions and decreasing carbs in my meals. And staying away from the Christmas cookies! LOL!

Good luck to everyone else!! Thanks for the motivation Abbie!

After a really bad weekend, I need a challenge like this. I'm in.

Good start to the week so far: 4 mile run this morning. 1500 in the pool after work.

lunch. 2 greens complete.

side note: I took the sushi off the rice on all but 2 pieces.

Green challenge is GREAT for me. Breakfast= smoothie with spinach and kale (and fruit). Lunch= sauteed cabbage.

Dinner is going to be around the fire ring so I made tons of celery and carrot sticks to much on. The wine, however, will be red!
