Dodgersmom and Doughboy's Group -Full (Page 3)

I did it!  Alarm went off at 5 and I really got out if bed.  I was smart enough to get my stuff ready before going to bed so all I had to do was roll out of bed and roll onto the bike.  Only one quick stop to let the dog out.  Kept a consistent 70% of my max watts.  Not terribly inspired, but not bad either.

Today, it is going to be in the mid 70's and light winds.  Anyone in North Texas who can get out and do something today...don't miss this opportunity!

So, goal 1 for the day met.  48 oz of water at work was pretty easy yesterday so I know I  can do it again.

Anyone have any fun weekend plans?  Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the mid 60's. Not as nice as today, and windier.  I have to decide between a long ride outside or my 2:30 haircut appt.  Both are important.  If I cancel the appt, I have to wait till January.  Decisions...decisions!

Happy Friday gang!!

Got 48 oz of water done yesterday.

Today's plan - swim (warm up, 100 yd freestyle, 100 yd cool down), bike (10 minutes) - may aim for more. Have to start practicing for the 30 min. in Jan.

There is supposed to be a snow storm here in CT, so I am just hoping its not that bad that I can't even make it to the gym. I am so jealous of the 60 degrees in AZ.

Be careful out there Lina.  According to the news, the weather up there is supposed to be terrible today. 

Makes you wonder, if the weather is this bad in December, what aer January and February going to like?

Good morning all. My goal for the day is to get re-aquainted with water. More specificly, splashing around in water. Because I havent been in the pool in about 2.5 months I probably will drown so if you dont hear from me you know what happened.

I'll do the water goal again today as well.

It has already started snowing in CT, so my gym has decided to close early today. Fortunately, it hasn't hit MA yet (I work in MA and live in CT), so I may be able to hit the gym in MA if I can get the timing right between leaving work and before the gym closes.

Wish me luck.

Oh! And I had forgotten about the water goal for today, so thanks for reminding me guys.

Be careful out there on those roads.

Drink up!!

I checked out the nutrition on this site. It's probably just as good when you get it set up but fitday has all my info already. So I'll be staying on fitday for a while. I did ok with my nutrition yesterday, 2315 calories. About 200 of them were the whiskey night cap I had before bed. I also hit the H2O goal. I made my morning swim but it did not go well. I was tired, I need to get to bed before 1am if I'm going to get up at 6:30.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I don't know that fitday is any better (or worse) then this site. It's just where I started logging my food more than 2 years ago. I know the site, I know how it works, I like all the graphs and all my custom foods are already in the system. I'm too lazy right now to switch. I'd log it somewhere though. It's really an eye opener when you see just how many calories you consume.

I totally agree about the dreamdill Susan.  My gym has an indoor track.  It's small.  11 loops to a mile but I would rather run myself dizzy on that than use the dreadmill.

New toys are fun.  I have used the vanquisher's before and liked them.  I am now a big fan of the Aquasphere Kaimens.  I need to find the pool though.  I am embarassed to say how long it's been since I swam.

Made my water goal today...off to the ladies room (again!)

Once you find the right pair, buy a few to make sure you don't have to worry about them not being available when you need the next pair.

 Good advise. Same thing for running shoes. Find a pair that fits right and feels good then buy 2-3 more and save them until you need them.

2153 calories yesterday. I did have one splurge-I ate one one my daughters birthday cupcakes. The thing is I didn't enjoy it. I just inhaled it right before a late afternoon nap. I was hungry and they were sitting on the counter.

I'm going to finish up here and get on the bike trainer for an hour. Later this afternoon I'll hit the gym and run for 30 minutes then lift. Anyone else doing anything this weekend?

So does that mean you'll swim today?

We're going to run this afternoon.  Its beautiful out here now.  Cold front coming thru and will drop the temps 40 degrees tonight.

Good advice on the goggles.   I tried them today and LOVE them.   I think I'll buy a few pairs WITH the optics, and maybe a few pairs without.   I'm thinking I'll wear my contacts when racing, even though I hate them.  Either that or splurge on some Rx sunglasses to wear on the bike and run.  

Got my swim in - just 1600 today and a few drills, but we were running out of time.  Off to two parties now!

Hello goodafternoon everbody heyjust a question what do I do next to join or begin this mentor program .

Hi Freddie.  Welcome.  All you need to do is drop by here when you can and just let us know how you are doing.  We are a very casual group with athletes of all abilities.  Tell us a little about yourself.  What re you planned races for next year.

I always find that the weekends are harder for me to get all my water in.  When I am sitting at my desk it is pretty easy.  I will make an effort to keep a water bottle with me all the time.

Today is filled with errands and taking mom aout to dinner for her birthday.  I will get on the trainer or at least do some core work tonight.

No workout, not enough water and Pei Wei for dinner.  Tomorrow is another day

Night all
