DOWN for the Holidays! (Page 26)

Great updates! I weighed in today and the scale hasn't changed this week.

I'd have to say greens wise I prolly added 3 servings that I wouldn't normally eat.

I think that anyone who took the greens challenge this week, and increased their normal intake, was a contest winner :=)

We all get to wear leafy green crowns this weekend. And may we all keep it up.

challenge time

being that i'm in such a good mood today, could be due to the 3 day weekend,  l have a major challenge.  if you are able to,   do all of the challenges so far, today, if your a bad double them.

think they were

drink water half your weight in oz

core challenge repentance

push ups

crunches

add greens to meal.

might have been another one but not sure, we have a lot of freaking pages to look through. need a topic just for challeges nothing else.

will get my challenge done after doing a side job today. plus adding a 5k run with wifey and then min of 30-45min on trainer.  now lets see life try to eff this up for me.

I will take this challenge. And for me ran a 5k (ouch that hurt) plus another 5.5 mi, now off to the pool for a swim and a late night trainer ride hopefully

My update on today's challenge:

32 ounces down, which means I have about 88 to go.  I might float away after this challenge.

I've repented for finding green foods to be ill suited to my flavor palette.  I have nothing against folks who like greens, I just find the texture and flavor of nearly anything green to be completely unappetizing.  I will have some green beans later, though... they're one of the very few green foods I will eat.

How's 50 sound?  With the feet raised about 1'?  Call it DONE!!

50, right?  DONE!!

Maybe some green beans in a little bit.  It IS lunch time.

On an other note, I just got back from running 4.1 miles.  Here are my times, according to Strava:

9:33 for Mile 1
10:13 for Mile 2
11:07 for Mile 3
11:05 for Mile 4
3rd best 1/2 mile time of 4:29
3rd best 1K time of 5:38
2nd best mile time of 9:05 (if I could consistently turn 9:05 miles, I'd be totally satisfied)
2nd best 2 mile time of 19:41
2nd best 5K time of 31:39.

Kudos?

Nice work!

QueenZipp - 2012-11-10 3:44 PM No sub 2. The hills in miles 5-9 killed me. I did do a course record for me by about 2 minutes

Way to PR the course!!  too bad about the bagels.  I can relate, I went looking for mine this morning and they were gone 

totally forgot about the crunch challenge when I got home last night.  Just did them now.  

Today hitting all the challenges so far???  Might as well try.  Better start drinking...

Totally missed the challenges for today. But I did repentance by doing a 1.5 hour tough trail ride on my fat tire. Followed it up with three mile run. 

Fantastic weather here in Florida. November is awesome!!! Dry and cool. 

My eating habits for the last few days have been less than stellar. My husband is off (he works every other weekend) so we've been out and about.  He's also a damm good cook.

Tomorrow I'll be good.

did 10k with the wife,  just finished 30min trainer ride.  have about 12oz of 82 to go.  now off to do the exercises. 

It's 2226.  I just got back from a shipmate's wedding.  Ate more than I should have, but not as much as I could have. 

As I posted earlier, the only challenge I really had left to tackle (not counting the greens challenge) was the water challenge.  I'm 32 ounces short of my 120 ounces, and I feel like I'm gonna float away.  It felt good trying, though.  I'll see if I can make tomorrow another 96 ounce day.

And, to make all the ladies smile, my wedding attire:

(I ended up ditching the tie, though... turns out my shirt is just a smidgeon too small at the neck.)

enders_shadow - 2012-11-10 3:41 PM I can't catch up with the last 3 pages...but I am "down" from last week's weight (by 0.2, but still), I finished my 4th half-mary of the season, I had a nice brunch with Judi (QueenZipp), and now I'm sleepy. Oh, and another highlight to the end of my season? My first race ending in the med-tent. (Severe leg cramps due to dehydration?)...Managed to recover enough to do brunch, so that's all that mattered. Tonight, tomorrow - a little bit of sloth. Monday - back on the plan. Back to the challenges.

Ouch, hope that you are all right! Definitely take a rest day.

Very nice!!!!!

Ok Abbie - I'm in on this challenge!  I just finished my first 70.3 on September 30th and my usually-125lb 5'3 frame is at 136 and holding.  Granted, my bike training added some thigh and butt bulk, but I really want to get back down to a comfortable weight before I start training again in January. 

I've tailored my workouts to accomodate for some dieting and have ischemic colitis, so grains are out and sugar intake is low.

Right now, my workouts are:

SUN:  Nice long run or ride, usually 2 hours

MON:  60 minute spin class

TUES:  70 minute power weight class and core

WED:  60 mins yoga

THURS:  Run (depends on my schedule, anywhere between 5-10k and I push it)

FRI:  70 minute power weight class and core

SAT:  OFF

glad you're here.   looking at your training the only thing i dont like doing is the spinning class, at least in my area all they ever have is bikes with heavy weighted flywheels for resistance which mainly works your hamies and burns cal's and messed up my cycling position,  never got a good work out.  whats your pace on thur.

Grats to both of you and wishing you a restful pain free Sunday :=)
