here in Edmonton! I almost feel like taking the bike off the trainer and going for a rip...hmm maybe not, still snow and ice on the side roads...| 2012-01-04 5:40 PM in reply to: #3969947 |
Member 106 | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! katieduffy - 2012-01-04 7:36 AM Hey guys! DQ - ouch! I love your perseverance, though. Darren - hey, Costa didn't break her ankle. That'll speed you up. Melinda - can you do a little forum swim seminar? That would be awesome. The swim is definitely my weakest event, but I think it's more about freaking out in my wetsuit / OWS than actual swimming that's the problem. Not that I'm a great swimmer, but I don't freak out in the pool like I do sometimes halfway through a race. OK, got up at 5 this morning but sat around with coffee for a long time and didn't actually leave the house till 6, then got stuck waiting for a drawbridge on my way to the Y pool. Still made it there but only got in a very short swim and no weights. Nevertheless, I'm proud of my whopping 500 yards because 1) I've only been to the pool 1 time since my A race last season, last weekend in August; 2) I was really sleepy; 3) It's 16 degrees this morning. I did NOT want to leave the house! Now, I have that new-swimmer-jello-arm thing happening, which actually feels awesome because I know I did something, if that makes any sense. That's why I think this is such a good group - I left the house because I told someone I was going to swim today, SO I HAD TO SWIM TODAY! Hope everybody has a great day! The swim seminar sounds good! I've done a couple OWS's but never had to deal with wetsuit dilemma. If anyone has questions you can send them to me and I'll do my best to answer them or point you in the right direction. I'll can write up something later tonight or tomorrow about drills and breathing techniques if that helps. |

Qua17 - 2012-01-03 9:08 PM swimmindy - 2012-01-02 12:07 PM Got back in the water today. 1000 yds in 20 minutes, kept the strokes long and didn't push it. Still don't have an inhaler or a doc's appt, everyone's off today! The scale was nicer to me this morning. Managed to lose almost a pound over the New Year's weekend. Back on my healthy "diet" meaning more veggies and less chocolate.
Melinda - Congrats on the weight loss! Keep it up!!! Thanks! I'm almost to my first weight goal... almost at 20 lbs loss since late September. It's a balmy 50*F here in sunny FLA and it's supposed to get warmer to about the 70's by the end of the week. I actually had to put on layers today! I guess I shouldn't rub it in, but the summer's here are brutal and not looking forward to another one. Tomorrow's workout plan is to hit the range and break in my new iron's (an early bday present) and then the pool to hopefully get in about 1500yds. Still no inhaler and still no doc appt... I can't believe how hard it has been to get ahold of this guy.... he's never in the freaking office! I may end up going to a walk in clinic just to get one until I can get a new prescription. I really want to get back on my bike and start my run/walk comedy show |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! Hit a little bump in the road yesterday and didn't get my workout in. I had to stay over at work then came home to feed the pup and then went grocery shopping. By the time we got home it was 9:30 and I was starving! I got my run in today though Training schedule for the rest of the week: Thursday: Run Friday: Bike Saturday: Bike Sunday: Swim and run |
However the pool is closed until the 6th so those swims I had planned this week aren't going to happen 
I decided to start Couch to 5k to get back into running if it gets too easy I'll change it up but it's a good place to start.| 2012-01-04 6:29 PM in reply to: #3970261 |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! Evening Everyone: Thanks a ton for all the support in regards to my finger. I went to the gym determined to find a way to get on the spin bike and I found a way to make it work. So I was incredibly psyched about that. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with a hand doctor who will figure out what to do with my finger. I plan on making it clear that I will do anything he says as long as he can find a way to keep me moving forward. I also appreciate your suggestions on how to improve my work in the water. Hope everyone is having a good week! DQ |

Expert 1662 Spokane, WA | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! Lost .2 lbs! 199.8. Pretty stoked to be going downhill. Ate really good yesterday and today. good portion control. Food seems to taste better when you don't overindulge. Workout was killer this morning. 2100 yd swim in 56 min. I also ran on the dreadmill for 2 miles in full sweats like I used to when I wrestled. Wife and I are just getting into climbing walls, and we went climbing tonight. That's a pretty killer forearm/ leg burn. Keep up the good work BTers. Love reading the posts. 6.2 mile hill run tomorrow! |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! kevinbe - 2012-01-04 11:47 PM I took a rock climbing class my last semester of college.... Its definitely a great strength workout. I remember at the end of the 2 hour class trying to climb one last route my arms and legs would be shaking they were so tired. I did learn its very taxing on the forearms and my instructor had actually developed tendinitis from climbing so be sure to stretch out your forearms and legs after every climb.Lost .2 lbs! 199.8.

Extreme Veteran 532 Munich, Germany | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! Hey guys, I too love the biggest loser. I used to watch the show all the time. Because what we get to see was pretty much what I was doing (even before I even knew of the show). I obsessed about food and working out. Until I realized that I seriously have a problem. I went to see a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with bulimia. I thought that was rediculous because I never make myself throw up. She told me that bulimia comes in many forms. And what I'm doing definitely IS bulimia. Since then I see BL with different eyes. I mean you don't get THAT fat without some sort of eating disorder. And you can't just get rid of that eating disorder just like that. But what you can do is trade it in for some other obsession / disorder. And that's what they're doing at the BL. When I started losing weight I went from binge eating to bulimia. I never realized it to be honest. I always thought the way I was losing weight was super healthy. Well in the end it kind of was. Until it became an obsession and there was nothing else than calorie intake vs. outtake vs. workouts. And that's the concept of the BL. Oh and then there is the factor of "letting my trainer / the others down". There is no worse feeling for people like us. Letting someone down. We're letting ourselves down all the time. ALL the time. And that's bad enough. The fear of letting other people down will make them stick to plans. And when you get out of the BL you either keep obsessing with all this or you gain your weight back. It's happened to many of them. |

I have found that I can actually get a run in even if I am fairly hungry though. Excercise seems to make the feeling go away, somehow I have managed to go up to 5 hours after breakfast, much more than that and I get a little light headed. Always a tough choice, because if you don't eat sometimes the workout suffers too. |

Hey, did anyone else notice Ali is looking a little beefier, like crossfit beefier. Thicker neck, wider shoulders, um...nicer a$$, looks like she lost some weight in her face? |

Member 106 | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! I love climbing... my first and only experience so far has been in Alaska. It was the most amazing experience. I wish they had a place around where I live. Note about the doc: I finally got an appt.... in February!! FML! I guess I'll have to go to a walk-in clinic just to get me by. I can't believe they couldn't take me in. It'll take like 5 minutes to get a prescription and walk out and it's kind of an emergency now. |

Extreme Veteran 532 Munich, Germany | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training -- closed -- good luck out there! February?!?!? Gosh I'd freak out!! I once walked into a doctor's office with a shattered foot (yeah I still walked). They offered me an appointment about a week and a half later. Well the nurse did. The doctor never even looked at my foot. So I went to the next doctor's and they took care of it. As for the snapped tendon in your index finger. Had that almost 2 years ago. Took forever to bee ok again. But in my case there was nothing they could do. I just taped the index finger to the middle finger and gave it time. I'm glad that was before I was done with school. Now that would suck since I have to type all day long :D |
