I HOPE that you are in IMLP.....I need you there.  I have done a bunch of swim only races.  I love them since you literally show up in a bathing suit and off you go...there is no thinking about it at all.

I had a quiet weekend which was nice I got a ride, run, TRX and yoga in...back to reality tomorrow.

This is a good idea.  Everyone -- it would be lovely if you could post a "real" picture so we know what everyone looks like. 

On the fruit, it seems to me I've read 1-2 servings a day is ok, unless you have a sugar problem in which case they say to watch it, or if you notice blood sugar spike cut it out. And I think you're supposed to also have protein with it.

On another, note, I continue to make healthier choices, which feels good.  I do have a question.  I keep hearing people say that after 30 days, or however many days people choose to follow Whole30, it talks about being able to "re-introduce" certain foods back into one's diet.  Can someone help me understand this.  Can someone explain this?  What kinds of foods are then "allowed"?

Sorry Norma. Still getting to know everyone's names and ID's. The entire family liked them so they won't be around long enough to use as a crutch!

Congrats!!

X2 on the congrats Erica!

I must say Scott - Wholy sh*t. And I must ask, how long was the before pic taken before the race photos? Quite an accomplishment.

When you make a new post there is something that looks like a pic of a tree.  It pops up a window where you can put a url of a pic.

This is correct.  You introduce one food group at a time, taking several days  to see how your body reacts before introducing another food group.  If you have no reactions - gut problems for example - then you add the next food group.  They don't tell you to never eat sugar again, but do say that if you are going to eat something unhealthy, make it worth it.  In other words, don't waste your time eating store bought cookies, but if you go and visit your grandmother and she makes her special cake that only she can make, then feel free to eat a piece.  The problem is once you unleash that Sugar Dragon, it is hard to turn it back off.

I was 250ish in the spring of 2010.  Spring of last year I got down to the low 160s and have pretty much stayed there.

That's awesome! So you went to U of H...I went there a couple of semesters.  Lived in Spring and around Willowbrook Mall area.

Today was a 6 mile walk/run.  My running buddy was not feeling the run today, and it was actually better for me because as we were doing it, I realized it was my 7th straight day of working out.

I will try to get a pic posted in the next couple days. 

Was feeling pretty proud yesterday - 6 miler that was a whole 1:11sec/mile faster than a month ago, albeit not fast at 11:29/mile, but considering this is my first month back after almost 2 years,  I am enjoying the improvement.  Looking forward to Atlanta HM in March. 

Recovery run this afternoon and then some strength training. 

Kudos to all that are eating better and getting those workouts in!!!

Progress is progress, you should be proud!
