February Training and Nutrition Challenge (Page 7)

Mine is funny because he goes through spurts...  He goes through months of inactivity, or dabbling in exercise.  Then he gets a goal in mind and goes all out.  Right now, he's clearly on the motivated side...  Oh well, it's not like I don't need the exercise.  And it is nice having someone to work out with.

I am such an idiot.  I had to go to Walmart (the most evil store on the planet, in my opinion) over lunch and picked up a bag of Sweethearts for my kids.  They love reading them.  And eating them. And I think some of the new sayings are funny, like "Text Me".  They didn't have that one when I was a kid!

But now they are sitting here next to me at work.  Taunting me.

So many heroic stories of food temptation avoidance! Way to go!

This month I decided I'm not going to track my veggies because I've been going nuts with life things (job/future worries) and I want to keep it simple. I know that won't be an issue though because it only puts me at a disadvantage points wise. This will give me extra drive to complete my training sessions.

So, my ride never happened last night...  As I was putting #2 to bed she started crying that she thought she was going to throw up.  So I spent most of the night sitting with her...  Fortunately, nothing ever came up! 

So today, I have to make up for it.  I swam today.  A run will happen later after I dig out the mailbox.

My achievements this week - avoided the hamper of goodies sitting in my desk drawer all weel. Even harder, didn't buy any creme eggs shopping yesterday (I love Easter chocolate!). However, my proudest achievement was this morning. I took the bike out and got a flat (not having a good run of luck recently). Anyway, for the first time in my life I actually changed the whole thing myself and only took 12 minutes which I was quite proud of (I usually get my hubby to do it at home). Hurray!

I have more minutes of "other" than S/B/R this week so far.....that's okay.....I was worried about the leg and had to go easy to be sure it was okay.
Day 2 of ignoring ice cream.

<--- Sick. Hacking up a lung. Or two.

Bleh.

But then again, if I can't taste food, maybe I won't eat as much of it.

Feel better! 

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks! I did have a flu shot.... but this sure feels like the onset of the flu.

(Hopefully, the stupid virus isn't in the process of mutating....)

I kind of want to sleep, but I can't sleep. So I've been lying around all day.

very solid first week of training for me in this challenge, love this one

Get well soon!

Nice work Don't forget Monday is included in the first week too so you get another day for points.

Completely failed to avoid temptation today. My friend bought me a pineapple cake back from Taiwan and they are my major weakness. Just ate and enjoyed it
On the plus side, at least she didn't bring me a whole box as usual because that would spell massive trouble!

You can still join!  Pick a team and log your training from this past week on the spreadsheet!  The f&v servings may be hard to log unless you log your food though.

Excellent.  Just logged the f&v I can remember for certain - having fruit every day for breakfast helps

Thanks, that was a typo on my part.  I fixed it.

Can I log jumping around yelling during the Superbowl?

Heehee....unfortunately my team had fewer jump up & down in celebration moments.....more like NO.....STOP THEM!!!  

Only 1 more day left of week 1!!

Couple things to remember:
~you can only get 1 bonus point in each category (foregoing one junk food and 1 point at the end of the week if you got some sort of physical activity in each day).
~I'll post the standings for each group Tuesday afternoon so make sure you get everything for week 1 logged. 

Keep eating your fruits and veggies and get your workouts in!!
