Im in! That is a GREAT idea Amy..and very nice of you to throw in the t-shirts. I would like to be in the 20 and maybe 30 to lose group! I weighed in first thing... lost 3 pounds too! I would have loved it to say 5 lbs...but that will be next week...hopefully!!! who else is in this weigh in????

lyssa-gator - 2009-01-11 1:33 PM ok, so i threw this idea out to julee a while back, and she keeps telling me to tell you guys and see what you think, but i seem to get on here and get all worked up about what you are all saying, then i forget. anyway, here was my idea, i think we should have a monthly award on here that our dearest most wonderful mentor GPOL will award- something like this, but it'll have to say the month on it. then you can post it in your blog for however long you want. anyway, the award will go to the triathlete that julee feels most deserving--maybe someone who finishes their first race? maybe someone who loses 5 pounds, maybe someone who overcomes their fear of open water, whatever it is--julee awards the GPOL trophy at the end of each month. what do you guys think?

sounds good to me!

I agree with Isabelle that it is a good idea, and rewards an individual for going the extra mile in various area ie: training, races, or overcoming obstacles...

Sounds good.  Can I nominate Julie to get it for January?  I don't think that she'll ever nominate herself...

I agree...JULIE IS A JEWEL...I think she deserves it!!! Amy IN

thanks Amy....I am very honored by your statement and love this idea that Lyssa came up with! it is going to be very hard for me to chose who will get these monthly awards...cuz already we have an amazing amount of accomplishments among this group!

we all have those days...and yes you can go back to bed....you just tell your boss that we said it is ok...wont that be ok, then????

seriously....dont fret Nicole...just go back on your next swim day and let her rip! I will swim the other 10% for you, if that helps!?!?....anything for my team! hope your day is a good one.

YAY Amy....that is great! seems to be that 2-3 pounds is the average loss for our group...if we keep this up (2-3 lbs per week) we will all be skinny by the time summer comes and you will have those legs that you are looking to find again!....keep up the great work guys and gals...and whatever you do..DO NOT get discouraged if your weight plateaus or even goes up a few....just keep on keeping on. and see Mondays are not all bad! haha

I am in...and for 30 lbs! want to lose the few I gained over the holidays - plus the original 25 I intended for this year....THANKS FOR DOING THIS AMY! and yes, LETS GO TEAM! time to slim down and get in shape! today is the beginning of the rest of your life! go go go!

How cold are we talking? A little cold new hurt anyone! Preserve your sanity and ride outside!

I agree -- if you can manage it, outside is FREEDOM!  Pedaling and going nowhere drives me crazy, even worse than trudging along on a treadmill. 

if you can get out and there is no wet or slick roads.....go outside and get that fresh air! I rode yesterday and it was clear skies...but brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cold! I think it was in the low 40s when we started and upper 50s when we ended. I layered and had no booties, half finger gloves and was pretty darn toasty!

Lyssa...can you send me a list of what you wanted from me? thanks...and pm me your address. I am trying to sort thru things so I can place whatever did not get taken on the BT Pay it Forward thread...Thanks darling and have a great day...inside or out!

I would have used full finder gloves for those temps!

Hi Brooke Lynn,

WELCOME TO OUR GROUP! we were initially closed, but after asking the team - everyone that I have heard from said they would love to have you as a teamy! We will do all we can to get you prepared and ready for that tri in April...so hop right in and join the conversation. We all look forward to getting to know you. Please make sure that you begin logging your workouts in your log area....we have a chart that we will update with your name added to it so that it easy for us all to access each others training logs so that we can check up and keep each other on track and also send inspiring messages. Have a great Monday and week...

PS....I sent you a pm (personal message) with this same info.

thanks...I know I should have! my fingers were a little numb at first but once I climbed a few of those hills...I seemed to warm right up! funny how that is! haha

Congrats to everyone on moving their little tickers down...not that it should be a big deal if you didn't! We should all be feeling pretty grand after a great week/weekend of training and looking ahead to this week. The sun is shining in Calgary (though I only get to look at it from inside), and I think we might actually be in positive temps all week! (Check for flying pigs!) 

Our tri club meets tonight for spin class- my legs are still a bit tight from Thursday's track workout. I have been wondering why they are killing me as running typically doesn't cause me this much pain and I just remembered that our coach had us do a zillion lunges. They get me every time and I always have such a tough time recovering from lunges. I used to do a lot of weight training but lunges, even without weights, would cause DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Anyone have thoughts? I hate the fact that I feel that all of my workouts that follow suffer. 

naners - 2009-01-12 12:33 PM Happy monday all!  I managed to go for a swim this morning, and hope to get some trainer time in this weekend.  It all depends on what the family bonding plan is for this evening.  Now, if I could get them all on trainers.  To bad we don't have enough trainers. .

What a great concept that would be eh? Well you could always set up a little circuit! On the bike while someone else does crunches, and someone else does pushups and rotate!

Thanks, Alyssa for putting out the idea for the monthly award!

Congrats to our fearless leader, Julie for being the first very deserving recipient! The tone of our thread and the huge enthusiasm starts top down! No wonder people are willing to read 28 pages of postings to join in

Welcome to the group, Brooke Lynne!

Great idea for a mini brick, Monica! My tri coach gets us to do a bit of running after we ride just to get used to that 'my legs are jello' feeling when you first get off the bike and have to do the run. A good little simulation for at least part of the tri.
