Ken D's Group - Shut (Page 5)

Everyone's got some very busy weekends planned!  Enjoy them all.  We really don't have too much.  My parents stopped by yesterday and overnight and just left.  My wife has a whole weekend of baking planned, so I will be helping with that.  Tomorrow night we are going to a hockey game.  That's about it.

Gonna take it easy with my workout today.  I've been pushing the bike and run hard lately and my legs are very tired.  Should probably go to the gym and do some upper body weights. 

My plans for this week-end are very busy.  Saturday  I am gonna go for a 3m run then a bit of shopping and  my husbands Christmas staff party, so I get to get all dressed up for that..yay so excited...... On Sunday I will be recuperating  from the Christmas party free food, booze and rides home, what more could you want!!!! hmm that sounds bad, I really am a good person, but I stay home with my 3 boys so I am taking full advantage of an free night out! 
We have family arriving on Sunday so we will be visiting, cooking, lots of laughing and relaxing!

Sounds like a well earned weekend of fun for you, Enjoy!!

Make me jealous and tell me what the weather is by you guys today!  We woke up to snow and looking at 12-18 inches today.  I know that is nothing compared to other parts of the country but I HATE snow!!!  Treadmill run for me today.  Anyone heading outside for a workout?

Check out Tim's (chichitao) log.  Link  He hit his goal weight yesterday.  Now he just has to maintain it.  Way to go, Tim!

Thanks Ken!  Now I've gotta set my sights on a new goal.  The plan is to go from my current 214 to 212 by Jan 2nd.

And it was a nice "chilly" 43 degrees when I woke up here in Texas today.  Supposed to be in the upper 50s to 60.  Gonna get in a long run today.  Tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 63 and hope to ride the bike.  Tues is showing a high of 68!

Thanks!  Run a mile for me!!!  I hate being couped up inside.  I think your goal for January 2nd is reasonable with the holidays!

I just want to say thanks to everyone as having this winter group has already been a big help with keeping me motivated.  I was looking at my calendar and realized I worked out every day this week.  I decided to go back and look at when the last time I did that was...it was JUNE 2008!!

I have been a model of inconsistency in the past and really hope to change that.

And I came in at 213.5 today beating my goal of 214!! Wahoo!  So to celebrate I went out and ran 6 miles!

Those are some great results already, keep at it! 

This part is huge!  Consistent workouts are a huge factor in triathlon success.

Great work, Tim!  Way to go!

This group has been great for me so far as well.  I love logging my workouts and trackign progress.  I'm more determined than ever!!  You're inspiring, Tim!

Cheers!

Good luck with that!  You are either very brave or very foolish.  It's going to be a madhouse!

I think it was a little of both bravery and foolishness, I was out most of the day and have visited pretty much every tri/multi sport store, in what we here call the lower mainland, and almost came home empty handed, thank you Speed Theory for not allowing that to happen. I am thankful for the lack of time I had to actually spend in a mall.  Time to unwind a bit and then I'll hit the bike.

Wait, wait, wait.  Just hold your horses! 

You can't tell us the tale of hitting multiple tri-stores and then NOT tell us what you got.  So, what didcha get?

LOL, I can't tell you, my hubby might be lurking about and I don't want to spoil Christmas morning for him.  You'll have to wait till after Christmas just like him:-D

Not sure if I will be able to walk tomorrow!  I learned how hard it is to do squats while holding my 28 1/2 pound (accurate weight as of his doctors appointment today!) child.  Not sure if I will be doing that again.  Oh and then my 42 pound child wanted me to do it with him.  I think I did 5 with him!  Who needs the gym!!!

Good morning everyone!  Christmas week is upon us.  I get to work today and tomorrow and then off until next Tuesday.  I'm trying to figure out how to get my workouts in.

Today - maybe swim at lunch.  Maybe trainer ride
Tomorrow - same as above
Thursday - Family is coming over, maybe run early. 
Christmas - I don't realistically see anything happening
Saturday - ???

What do y'all have planned?

I'm going to try to make it business as usual, if possible.  I've planned for it that way, anyway...we'll see if it comes to fruition.  Shopping is done...the only major thing I have to do is cook Christmas dinner on Friday.

Today:  It's going to be in the 40's, so I have to take a spin on the bike at lunch.  Lower Body weights tonight with my wife. 
Wednesday:  Treadmill work.  30 minute run. Stretch.
Thursday:  Upper Body weights, 30 minute run, stretch.
Friday:  Off. 
Saturday:  Lower body weights, stretch.
Sunday:  20-30 miles, medium intensity on bike.  Hopefully a chilly group ride.

That's my plan.  Up to me to execute!

I have a friend who's been doing P90X and loving it.  Very challenging I've heard!   I hope you get it for Christmas!

The trainer I have worked with for over a year recommended it.  Because of schedules, I had to stop training with him.  I know I will be motivated to do it.  I actually use the treadmill I have in my basement so I know I am ok to work out at home.  A friend did just P90X for 3 months and shaved 30 seconds off her mile.  I am not really doing it for that but it would be a nice bonus!  I just need something to change up what I have been doing.  I am 90% sure my parents got it for me. 

Because I"m on vacation until the new year, I am able to get even more training time in, so...

Today is bike/run and a little strength. 
Wednesday: bike/run and a little strength
Thursday: We are doing Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve this year, but will still get in a workout in the morning.
Christmas day: The food I ate the night before and probably the chocolate I will be eating in the morning, will guilt me into some sort of workout later in the day.
Saturday: business as usual

Tuesday- Gym for a 30 min run and some strength
Wednesday - Home workout video
Thursday- pool
Friday nothing (to busy to do anything)
Saturday- I am not sure it if it's nice out a run

Swim is done.  And I smell like the pool.
