DOWN for 2013 - New Year New You! (Page 6)

I had a bad cheat last night. I got a pizza for my son but ended up eating 3 slices. :=( Mindless chow down

I've been lax about entering calories so I am gonna redouble my efforts. 

Great job!!! to everyone who is down this week :=)

Thats awesome! I am training for an OLY in June and working my way up to a 10K I can do a 5K in 28min but the 6miles is sapping me. I am up to 4 miles in 45mins so I would love to do a 10K in 1:11:30!!

There must be something in the air, I did the same thing. Wasn't feeling motivated to whip up anything healthy.

Great new research on artificially sweetened drinks and depression:

Nice! Be strong this weekend!

Just got weight at the Drs office. I am up a pound. However, cold, lack of work outs are the culprit. Now that I am feeling better, I can get on with it. (knocking on wood). One little set back is 48 hours of no vigorous exercise or being in water. Good thing it is only 48 hours, I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and fully intend to be in salt water and pools!

I'll check back in in 2 weeks.

Thanks!!

Right now, I'm training up for a half mary on St. Pat's Day.  Planning to run it in my Irish National tartan kilt and (probably) a green TapouT tee shirt.  :-)  {I wear TapouT shirts before every triathlon and during any running events... it's my way of reminding myself that I will not submit to the course; I may not be the fastest dude out there, but I WILL NOT QUIT!!}

I'm reguarly averaging 11min/mile.  Right now, I'm more concerned with 2 things: 
1)  Being able to go the distance.  I'm working my way up by doing 4.5 to 5.5 mile short runs.  I'm on a self made program where I do a long run on Sunday (unless I have duty [24 hour work shift], at which rate I do it Saturday) and short runs for all my other runs.  I add .77 mile to my long run each week.  The day I'm set to do the half mary is the day I would be doing 13.1miles anyway.  :-)  I will also be doing a 14K run in mid-February which coincides with a long run and is actually 1/2 mile shy of what I should be doing that week... but it will still be fun.
2)  Getting to the point where I can do a 10K and never feel a need to walk.
If I accomplish these 2 goals, speed will come naturally!

Good luck with your Oly and training for it!!!  It was in an Oly I did my 1:28:56 10K PR.  Hopefully, the next time I do an Oly, that will be a sub 1hr!!!

big fat zero weight loss this week

despite being under by 500-1000 calories 5 days and balanced 2 days (so I should have lost at least 1 pound) 

frustrated.

woke up with stomach hurting so postponing swim until tonight and plan to do modified cleanse today (master cleanse and green juice thing)

Congrats on the weightless!!! 

Congratulations! I've been using MFP too. I admittedly don't tend to always use it through the weekend, but I try to stick within my average goal during the week at least. Keep up the good work!

207->212->

Now this week down 3 to 209.  It is my goal, my quest, my mission to get and consistently maintain sub 200. 

Keep the faith, do the work, and eventually results will occur.

Good job all
