JANUARY 2025 Monthly Running Challenge

chris_in_cal

On vacation I had a medical emergency. I'm dealing with that now and it is not something I anticipated. I had a good and motivating couple of weeks lifting weights and running. All stop.
My future is this with parts and pieces failing and falling off....and hopefully a bunch more good stuff too. I'm going to keep following along, and as soon as I get some clearance I'll be starting back up again.

In the meantime, I want to get this out publicly for some accountability. I'm dropping the weight. I'm logging here in MFP.

I dropped 10-15 lbs last year and that simply is not good enough. I think 52lbs is smarter, about 1 lbs/week. Follow my food diary, or anything else you think would help me stay on track and be accountable.

Ya'll are the best.

Hang in there, Chris!

You are doing great with this weather @Teresa502 . I, too, am hoping this is the worst of it. 35F felt rather pleasant this afternoon.

Nice running @SummerSkier . Sorry about the bruise on your foot. And, yes, lesson learned for you, I think. We have piliated woodpeckers here too. They are so big. It's funny that they can be chased away by smaller birds. As for the tracker, I haven't been able to get it to work for me for a couple of years...at all. It started with having to start from scratch every time and now I just keeps reloading the tickers and I can't pick one. I quit trying.

Sorry to hear about the medical emergency @chris_in_cal . I hope whatever it was, you heal from quickly...and I really hope it wasn't a part falling off. Now that we don't have the newsfeed, how would I go about following your food diary - if that is going to help you lose. I never made mine public because I am NOT one to eat the best foods and didn't want to be a bad influence on anyone.

64.00/80.00 miles

I was called into work again. After I got home, I did a fast 2 mile walk on the treadmill. Tonight I averaged 3.9 mph. Avg HR was 93 with a max of 110 bpm.

@Teresa502 yea just when I get used to the tropics it's time to go home. I'm getting a bit envious of the colder temps!

@chris_in_cal sucks to hear that. Get well soon. I joined a BLC challenge here on MFP. Biggest Looser Challenge. Helps to stay accountable. I'm aiming for a 20-25 lb loss this year. So far, I've dropped 35lbs and got my diabetes somewhat under control. Good luck.

@SummerSkier the moment I have something really irritable I stop to have it fixed. Some of the longer distances won't let me tough it out. Woodpeckers are cute.

@quilteryoyo work is such a double edged sword....

I got a hot muggy 8k in this morning. New route. Found a tower for my elevation training 🤣 this place is soooo flat. Whilst climbing over a guardrail because I took a shortcut, I managed to gently land on my ar$e, might see the blip on strava. Just a bruised ego there but where did the nimbleness go? 🤔🙄
