x2 You never know what your time will look like until until you throw all 3 together. Even then its gonna be different day to day depending on how you feel. On a race day you could feel like crap and not even want to be there. Then again, you could feel like crap all throughout training and then feel great on race day and blow yourself away with what you can do.

Yea, I know. It sucks to look back and see what I was doing before.

Hummus. 

I've been sick all week. So I guess it's some sort of success that I'm REALLY upset I can't run. I mean, when I started this running thing 6 or 7 months ago, I wouldn't have believed I would ever WANT to run! I have a 5k on Sunday and unless I wake up feeling normal tomorrow... I might not get to do it. BOO!

I signed up for a triathlon in April, but I did that last year. Joining the triathlon team here in Miami was a big move though, they are all so fit!! So, sticking with that is an accomplishment.

As soon as I can start training this year, I'll let you know! 

Successes: Signed up for IM SG (although some days I don't know if it is ), cut out alcohol, got back on my IM training diet from last year, and swam con't 1hr X 2....

Goal for next week.... Start P90X, get my road bike back on the trainer, start my "actual" training plan for IM SG, and con't w/ my meal plan. Excited to be off till Thursday after today!!!

What??? no yogurt????? oh you don't know what you are missing!!!!

I like the fiber one bars... They have a bunch of dif flavors...

Yay P90X, I am starting next week too, due to illness I was unable to start this week. let's keep each other posted! 

FOR SURE!!!

Oh no, I do know what I'm missing. I do throw yogurt in my smoothies, but can't eat it on its own. Fiber one bars are good, but they cause...um..issues.

I've tried hummus in the past, but it falls into the smelly category. I'll try it again and see what I think.

That's a success! 



Congrats on making the transformation! 



Some of the changes we're making take so long that we often fail to appreciate the real significance.  Take some time every week/month/year to reflect on what you've done that makes you proud. 

Hummus. 

Successes?  I went to yoga class last night and got through it without snapping off any of my limbs.   With the holidays over, I'm hoping to get back on schedule next week.

Have a good weekend everybody!

I 2nd the notion of HUMMUS!  i love that stuff!  roasted pepper, garlic, pesto, it doesnt matter.
also, i sometimes take a knife-full of peanut butter sometimes if i need to take the edge off of my hunger right before bed.

Successes:  - Made it through the first week back after winter break. (fellow teachers can relate)  
                  - Signed up for 3 races, although my husband might not consider that a success since he had just given me the annual                        "we can't put anything on the credit card" speech.
                   - Training was consistent and felt good.


                  
                  
 

I serioulsy <3 peanut butter!!! I eat it about 3 X day!!!

successes:- improved swimming up to 1300m a session. seeing improvements in running fitness and managed to stick to training plan with the exception of 2 sessions.
Things that need work:- the 2 sessions i've missed have been bike sessions so need to get more time on the bike. my diet needs attention still eating food left over from the holiday period. finally need to post more on the forum.

Which Iron Man is IM SG?

Peanut Butter is definately the best.  And all of you who suggested natural peanut butter... Thank You Thank you thank you.  It tastes so much better than regular peanut butter, especially on wheat crackers.

Have hit all my workouts and ran a 8:08 mile today.  I was running my mile on over 10:00 last year...lets hope that keeps up.

I eat six times a day.  Three meals and three snacks. 

Some of my favorite snacks are :


1 bannana sliced into half. Take natural peanut butter and I put 2 tabloespopons on the bannana (on the dry side).  I then take half of a (Yoplait) boston creme pie (fate free) and put over the P-Butter with some natural granola.  I love this and its approx. 300 calories.

I also take graham crackers and place natural p-butter on one side.  I then put fate free whipped topping and make a sandwich.  I place them in the freezer and wait until the get frozen....taste like a ice cream sandwich.  3 of these are also around 300 calories. 

I can relate to the "can't put anything on the credit card".  I had to hear that last year...lol.  I took a new approach!  My wife has now joined me in tri training... Whooo   hooooo!

I hit all my workouts, I cut out alcohol which is sad and temporary, I love a glass of wine at night. My biggest accomplishment this week was getting a lot of work done! I'm self employed and its too easy for me to lose chunks of work time dillying about on line, I didnt do that at all this week, that's huge for me and I notice my mood is always better when I've had a productive day.

SNACKS: I love this topic. x4 on peanutbutter! I eat it almost every day. I like an apple a day, keeps the doctor away. Zee744, If you're eating enough during the day, starting with a good big breakfast that keeps you full for a long time (say, oatmeal) and a decent lunch, you shouldnt really be feeling too snacky... I eat a snack after I work out mid morning (1/2 a peanutbutter sandwich) and maybe a piece of fruit around 3-4:00 but thats it for the snax.

I'm with Iceman, if you dont want to be eating icecream, dont buy it ; )

CONGRATULATIONS SRICH426======= t h a t s  f a s t ! =======

Wow!  Keep up the good work!
