    Did a long group motorcycle ride today. 300 KM of secondary roads. Great time. Likely sweated off a pound under all the armour.

    Tour de Phat! Farback, you kill me.

    Today I have already done my walk, drank 4 of my 8 glasses of water, cleaned the house and had my eyes opened wide by salt (see separate discussion I posted about that entitled, unimaginatively, Salt). So I am in a good frame of mind. Today I am going to continue tracking every last grain of salt, complete my 8 glasses of water (and maybe even more) and NOT GO OVER MY 1260 GOAL and not eat a single exercise calorie. I am plateauing and am incredibly annoyed with myself. So THAT is what I am doing today.

    Went to spin class this morning, and I'll be running after work. THEN, I will not overeat when I get home just because I'm all by myself. I need to make a real meal and just stick to that instead of snacking for the night. :smile:

    Athletic Conditioning class plus half an hour of abs. It was very cool in the gym, but I sweated so much during just the ab work that my head was completely soaked!

    Today is eat more protein day.. I must admit Im not a big protein fan. I do struggle with it.. But I can see that it a staple part of losing weight. I do eat some fish ( not much) im allergic to shell fish & I hate meat. So I have to look for alternatives. Hummus is packed with protein & I love that.
    I don't mind Tuna, and some salmon. So im going to look for some healthy protein alternative recipes
    I also aiming to do me steps..

    Hope you all have a great day :)

    So, I'm taking a couple of days off from work, starting tomorrow. So, my goal is to keep focused, work hard, and keep a good attitude. I'm fighting the "I am so ready to be out of here" attitude. :smile:

    I usually spin Wed morning but I went to bed early with a bad headache last night, so I didn't push myself. Going to go after work though.

    Try drinking 16 oz. of room temperature water before meals.

    That's a great idea. I have the same problem but will incorporate that.

    Did a cold 20 minute scuba dive to locate a fixed anchor in a lake yesterday at my parent's place. The float from last year was taken by the ice. It's usually a five minute search job but with recent rains and a tannic lake, visibility was 2-3 feet at a depth of 15-20. Took a long time. And by the way, I didn't dive alone. The voices in my head were there. (Actually I'm a fire dept. Recovery diver with loads of hours, training and redundant systems to get out of trouble)

    Wow! sounds like an awesome career? I personally would be terrified. water is my biggest fear
    I really admire people like yourself that are part of fire dept.. :)

    Thanks very much. I'm a volunteer FF, but it's like a second career. I've been at it 25 years. We do several special rescue teams I've been lucky? enough to be a part of for many years in addition to regular firefighting. I just retired as Chief in December after a heart attack last year. I'm still active, but at 59 I'm happy to just drive and operate the trucks and leave the hard work to the kiddies. I occasionally throw on an air pack and go in on attack if needed, but I'm trying to minimize that. It would be a bad place to meet up with that second MI that's waiting for me. I'm doing everything in my control to avoid it, exercise, healthy weight, decreased stress etc.
    Good for you! My son was a volunteer, received his training and became auxiliary. He loved it and we were very proud of him. Then a woman came along and distracted him...too bad. I miss hearing all the stories. So much training involved. I have a great respect for it. Take care.

    Not sure why but sometimes, for no apparent reason, after losing 5, 10 or 15 pounds, I hit a mental snag and all my determination goes out the window (I give some credence to the theory of a "set point") -- the last week and a half have been like that.

    So my goal today is to stop it now, not six months or a year from now when I've gained back all I've lost plus some more, and meet my step and calorie goals.

    Great day to everyone!
