GREAT JOB!!!!!

 

so great it posted 2x

That does deserve a double post! Contraulations!!!

I haven't weighed myself since the beginning because that number always bugs me and then I get obsessive. Will do some measurements tonight though and post!

Less than a month till MEXICO!!! Need to get my pants fitting better too! Been doing better with my eating for the past few days. I will confess I had an entire small pizza and beer to myself post race on Sat. and some chocolates.....I will be focused!

Nice work!

Thats freakin' awesome Judi!  Keep up the good work!

Woo hoo!  Good news!  Wish I had some to share

I had a brutal post-race week which consisted of eating out almost every meal, lots of wine and beer with dinner and ZIP exercise.  At first I tried to cut back but I just felt ravenous all the time but clearly now my metabolism has adjusted, slowed down and this morning I weighed 141.4 eek!  Hoping it's just that Monday swell from a weekend of workouts.  Or salt intake.  Today I'm back on track... although it will be a challenge with a team lunch at the local pub and dinner out with friends.  Hope everyone else is on track and doing well!!!

This is BEYOND totally awesome!!!  You deserve it; you've worked hard.

On the other hand, I'm back (again) to where I started.  Even a 20 mile run couldn't undo the damage, apparently.  I really need to make a concerted effort to rein in my eating and drop a few pounds before I have to haul it 26.2 miles in about 3 weeks.

Finally got some decent swimming in this past week.  I think that I have finally found an "easy" pace.  Even did a couple 25m sprints at the end for kicks.  Running has also become pretty easy-ish (depends on the temp outside) and I am looking forward to each running day with anticipation instead of dread.  My diet wasn't great this past week, but I think it took a step or two in the right direction.  Wish that I had been able to get a long bike in this weekend, but the rain didn't let up enough for me to feel comfortable biking on the road with traffic on a wet surface.

Weight is down as is body fat.

Total Weight 195.5 (down 0.5 from last week)

Abdomen caliper reading: 17mm (-1 from last week)

Chest caliper reading: 16mm (no change)

Thigh caliper reading: 16mm (-2 from last week)

%BF=14.68 (down from 15.55% last week)

Things are going in the right direction again and I plan to resume weight training this week so that ought to start adding to lean mass while burning some extra fat.

Good luck to everyone this week.

Cheers. -t

I didn't weigh in, will get it done tomorrow.

Congrats to the LOSERS!!!!!  Keep up the great work!

down 0.2 from last week.......147.5.....I'll take it.

rest of my week will be strange, heading to NY to contend with my mother....

I worked out and ate, forgot to weigh in....grrr.....not like the scale would cooperate with me, just guessing.  Well I took a pic post-workout.  Lighting sucks and its blurry, but I'm still happy!

not part of the challenge but interested in what diets/WO plan people are following regarding altering body comp.  Always looking for tips. 

I need to lose about 20 pounds and generally go with low carb, high protein, increased weight lifting. 

What do others do?

 Any amount down is good! Good luck with your Mom.

Jealous of the WY trip, Roni!

My weight is sloooooooowly coming down after shooting up last week due to stress, sickness and no running.

Question:  I've always tracked nutrition here (when I track it, that is) -- I like the way that, especially now, it integrates with training (as calories burned) and shows net calories.

But - I have a new, whizbang Android phone.  And I know there are apps that allow you to scan barcodes and such to enter food (which seems to me to be an easier way about it).  Any apps that you guys are using that you'd recommend?

(and I should say:  I'm looking for something that has more functionality than just entering foods, like you can here on BT)
