DOWN for the Holidays! (Page 27)

Finished off a bad week on a good note. Got in a nice 17.3 mile treadmill run tonight. Need to focus this week and get in my workouts and rectify my eating. No more sloppiness this week. I put whats left of the kids candy way out of sight and don't ever want to see it again.

Here's to a great week peeps!  

Morning DOWNers! 

Finished up last week trying something new --- went to a beginners cyclocross clinic yesterday with two friends. There were about 30 people on various types of mountain, hybrid and a couple of cx bikes. We practiced that mount/dismount thing and worked on carrying and lifting the bike over obstacles and even got to run a big flight of stairs. I had one very minor spill in the grass and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I might even get the courage to sign up for a race. 

Had a pretty good week last week nutrition wise and meeting the challenges. I've had a sore throat since Saturday and it seems to be turning into a cold. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse, but between that and the absolutely awful weather that rolled in yesterday, it might be a scaled back week as far as workouts.

that still  blows me away that you can do that many miles on the treadmill! Good for you for hiding the evil candy. Be strong.

Take care of you.. NO SICKNESS!! That cyclocross clinic sounds amazing. What a great way to get your toes wet, and I am glad your tumble was gentle and on grass.

Morning Downers! I second the encouraging words of ceilidh.

I didn't eat too much this weekend but  what I did wasn't really good.

This is going to be a week of clean eating.

Happy Monday :=) 

Morning all!

I ate decent this weekend, but didn't get my run in - no excuse other than the weather looked really uninviting each morning.

I’ve felt myself slipping a little lately.  After the whole household having the stomach flu and then going out of town for 5 days, I’m a little out of my routine.  So, my goal for this week is to get back on the routine that I’ve been on for past few months.

HOT!!!!!!

Welcome aboard!

Judy, Congrats on 2 min PR!

Sorry to go a bit MIA this weekend, I was house-sitting and they didn't leave me the password for the wireless internet...I hate looking at BT on my iPhone!

Horrible eating....the house had too many evil foods and I helped myself.  Uggg.  One thing that is great about living alone is that I'm in control of what food comes into the house.  Today is a new day!

Already got an hour of fitcamp in today. 

Challenge today....25 forward lunges with each leg!

not at all. glad to have ya

Jump in!!!!

Awesome!

Welcome back.  To repent, you'll have to upload something new and wonderful to the Girls of BT thread.  lol

Today = total waste.  On duty and not doing a thing.

Tomorrow, I plan to do 45 minutes on an exercise bike and as long on a treadmill as I can afford during my 2 hour lunch/PT period.  Might just do 40 minutes on the bike and 20 on the treadmill for good measure.  Still, I WILL go as long as I can afford to on the treadmill.
