DOWN for the Holidays! (Page 24)

LOL same here, but I have cats.

Come to Jesus meeting time for me, been a huge slacker this week. Eating has sucked, workouts are short or not existant like yesterday. Turning the page today, gonna shoot for my long bike and hopefully get my crap together.

Me and Halloween are fighting, he has got the best of me but no longer

For me it is usually the boys

I am right there with you. Letting the stress get to me much too easily, leading to bad eating and just wanting to lay on the couch. We CAN do this!! So thankful for the support of this group!

Doing so-so on the greens but more importantlyu am eating a tons of veggies on general.  The push-up challege would have been easier if I hadn't done 150 push-ups the day before, but did it regardless. 

Dr. says I can't run for at least 2 weeks due to a tendon issue.  While it is dissapointing it will give me time to get in a better biking and swimming routine.   90 minutes on the bike trainer and strength training planned for today.

You are just wiped from the 18 miler on the treadmill crazy boy!

I can't get over that... lol

You are going to turn green!

5 cups of salad greens, 2 green zucchini and half of a cucumber

My complex wants me to write a review of their management team and bribed me with a massive sugar cookie left at my door!!!  WTF!!??  I should throw it out, but I put it in the back of the refrigerator, I'm not tempted to eat it.

90 minutes on the computrainer today and an hour trail run today

Whoever came up with the push up mini-challenge... {{{high five}}}... It's sparked me to do 50 "feet up" push ups per day.  I'm at 40 for this day, with about 2 hours till bed time.  Having the feet elevated really draws the core into play.  This may be better for me than I think it will be.

And, I haven't forgotten about the combat boots with a kilt photo... I just still haven't found the kilt I want to use!

Awesome!!!

So.. could one consider artichoke dip from Applebees as a green? There's a lot of green stuff in it.. The yummiest greenish thing I at all week :=)

The "50 push-ups a day" self challenge is DONE for today!!!  My core is a wee sore, too.

Meeting was held and things changed. Got in a solid day. 100 miles on the computrainer, sweatfest central burning over 3600 calories and then a 4 mi run after. Went to a concert tonight and limited my eating and beers. Hopefully we are back on track!

Aww, you can't throw out a perfectly good sugar cookie!!!!! Save it for a special occasion.

Ouch!  Way to go!

Nice job !  I had been thinking you were doing some "insane" miles so far out, but goodness you are probably right on track.  Have a strong last 2 months and and awesome race!

Friday weigh-in for me!

As kind of anticipated, I'm up a little bit ... about 2 pounds.  Not too worrisome... this is how my weight loss usually goes. Big drop, slight increase, maintain... then back to a big drop, rinse and repeat.  By next week I should be down about 3-4.

So - started at 155.

Last week: 151.8

Today: 154
