Andrew, my dear-- look at that ticker-- look at your photos-- if you're a failure, then I'm Lola Falana. (and if you say who?, I'm going to hit you with my cane.)
A triathlon is a major feat, and you need ample time to train for it. I can't advise you either way-- you know your body.
But, if you decide it best to wait for the "Tri" and do the "Du" you're still a hero in the books of everyone here, and you know darned well in the eyes of your honey in Massachusetts, and those adorable sons.
What you've accomplished, the changes you've implemented, the friends you've made who love you dearly and who have gained so much encouragment from you, is simply beyond words.
So, my friend, do as your heart leads. But, don't be using words like "failure" or I'm gonna have to come up there and do some moose whuppin'.0 -

Good morning team
I just got done doing my 5 mile run/walk I am proud to say that I think I actually ran more then I walked. I am proud of myself, Monday is usually the hardest for me to run because after working sunday my legs are beat!!!!!! But I did a 5 mile run and 100 crunches in 1 hour 3 minutes, I think that is fabulous!!! TOOT TOOT TOOT I was tooting my own horn
Andrew- Only do what your body will let you dont push it as you will hurty yourself more!! You know this as much as I do.
Beth-enjoy your family functions
Marla- you always keep me laughing
Everyone hope you have a great day getting into Jade ( my 4 year olds ) room and cleaning it today fun fun fun.
Tomorrow is my 11 year olds room even funner- at least he doesnt have very many toys!!!!0 -

Glad you asked..... I wasn't about to!
Just got back from a 3 mile walk with DH. It's hotter than blue blazes out there. We are leaving tomorrow for Pennsylvania. Again.
I decided to go back to the basics this week. Back in the day (like last fall) when I used to lose weight easily (yes I know I was bigger then- shhhh) I cut calories and walked. Since getting to the gym is impossible on the road, I'm going to try some of my 'old school' stuff and see if it does a durn thing.
I know I can't cut calories too drastically when I'm at the gym hitting it hard, but if I'm on my butt in the car, I can. Then when I get back I'm going to my eat maintenance and kick it at the gym. What's the worst that can happen? Nothing? Hey, I'm used to that, so it's no biggie.
I'm feeling positive today, I have a plan and I've reminded myself some thing aren't worth stressing over. Like the scale changing daily. Yes, my friends, 2 days from now when my hormones are singing a different tune, so will I.... but for today, it's all good.
Plans to do some packing, get a pedicure, go to the store, sweep out the car, give the dog a bath- busy day.0 -

5 miles in 1 hour is awesome! I prefer to clean my kids rooms when they are gone. Stuff (junk) can disappear much easier. :laugh:0 -

Many things have disappeared that I claim to have never seen...... A lot of times things go unnoticed but on that rare occasion when it is- I plead ignorance. Huh?0 -

My mom used to do that to us. You parents thinking you are funny. Mmmm hmmm. :grumble:
*hangs head in shame* I am so going to be just like her.

Well, seriously -- I'd issued a moratorium on stuffed animals years ago-- the house was overrun. And they wouldn't get rid of any of 'em, and they started stinking and were dusty. And more kept coming into the house as gifts-- so little by little over the years they have gone off to that little stuffed animal kingdom in the sky-- with the ratty coloring books, broken crayons, Happy Meal toys--
It's what moms do, Shuntae-- :ohwell:0 -

Totally understand. I had a bunch of stuffed frogs I'd collected over the last few years (frogs are my fav. animal, so people would always give them to me as gifts) and finally gave them away when I moved in with the boyfriend. It was way past excessive, and some kids could enjoy them more than I would if they were in storage. I chose a couple of the nicer glass ones to keep around our place for decoration. :bigsmile:0 -
I agree while she was here watching me clean her room she would say no mom dont throw that away I play with it and in my head I am saying when, my friend called and said hey can Jade come to lunch with us, I said absouletly that was a great idea, now I am starting bag number three for trash ( I mean toys) So eating my luch now and fixin to get back to cleaning before she comes home
We have to get on the school schedule this week we start back next monday and she is used to going to bed 10-11 and she has to start getting up at 6 right now she gets up at 8-9 so we shall see how this goes for her first year of school. Maybe with me cleaning her room it was be like a brand new day with new routines, (AM CROSSING MY FINGERS, BUT NOT HOLDING MY BREATH, NOT WITH THE DAY WE STARTED OFF WITH TODAY!!!!)
Well I hope everyone has a great day!!!0 -

You go back early-- New Jersey doesn't start until Labor Day.
I don't know how we're going to afford our books this year--
Should be interesting.0 -
Happy Monday!
Some comments from this weekends' posts. Hi Sara. The scale and I have a love/hate relationship. Right now we're in hate. Getting back to basics - eating, exercise, b-day parties, family - sounds terrific! Lola who?
Chili sounds wonderful. Could have eaten that Saturday night at the lake. Brrr. Running, biking, swimming oh my! School starts here on Aug. 24. Our county is also waiting for our property tax bills to come in. The longer it takes, the better for us. Need to replenish that savings since we've had lovely doctors/hospital bills to pay. Sigh. Summer temps are heading back to us this week. So far next weekend sounds delightful! 92 on Saturday and sun. Hoping the forecast continues to like us and then we'll have a lovely, lake filled weekend. Family, friends, lake, sunbathing, s'mores, what else could I ask for?
My positive is that I have eaten well so far today. Calories under control, as well as my sodium. Lovely weekend led to a headache, ear ache and sore throat this morning.

Marla we get out of school in May, I went to school in ca we got out in June and went back after labor day but not here I dont even think they had 3 full months off. They are ready as am I.
My son goes to middle school for the first year he leaves the school and his baby sister enters it uuuckkk just when I thought I was almost done with that school, I was hoping we moved before she started but no such luck guess I will have to suck it up, my son had very good teachers just didnt like the principal. Oh well I only saw her once in 6 years maybe I wont have to ever see her for my daughter ( oh wait she is the meaner one of the two) guess I better prepare myself to see her more often. LOL she is not that bad ( I mean my daughter not the principal).
Well need to get back to cleaning just thought I would check posts!!!0 -
Good afternoon everyone!!!!
Andrew, don't drown!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could never do a triathlon for that very reason! My hat is off to you for even thinking about it!!!
Hope everyone is doing well....just checking in for a quick "hi"....
OHHhhhh, and when did Lola Falana join our team??? :bigsmile:
Take care all!

The other issue is my triathlon at the end of august. I am far rustier in the swimming department than I expected. I am working on it feverently right now but am a bit concerned about whether or not I can do it. Taking into consideration the fact that failing to do it could result in drowning I am considering contacting the event coordinator and changing over to the Duathalon which subs a 2 mile run for the swim portion. If I do that I will keep working on the swimming for a later event. And to top it all off I might not be able to get that day off so it might not even matter. lol Anyway, I guess I am worried that backing out of the swim would make me feel like I failed, but then again drowning sucks. Any opinions?
Anyhoo, Much love guys!
Positive for the day-Watching Conan the Barbarian Rules!
:drinker:
Batman, Please take it from someone who takes swimming seriously. If you are not ready to do it, don't push it. Addl two miles running is nothing to sneeze at. Failing is not trying again, there will be more and you will be ready. If you need a good lifeguard, I'm certified...or is that certifiable:happy:0 -

August 24th is when we go back too. it used to be at the begining of august but I think it was to hot or something for kids to concentrate. we get out in may just before the month that hurricane season starts. FUN stuff. We don't get snow days we get hurricane days.
Mostly all our stuff is packed and we are wearing close that are probably way to big for us but we don'twant to dirty any of our other close. Tomorrow is Dora live, Should be fun since she keeps telling us she doesn't want to go. :grumble: We never should have spent the money on them. Wednesday is clean up day and then we had out early thursday morning.:bigsmile: Can't wait to see MY family!!:laugh: :laugh: 0 -
Evening my team,
Bobbi-Thanks for the advice dear. I knew I could count on my favorite swimming pal to give me some solid advice. Thanks so much dear.
Shuntae-When I was younger I was the same way with Racoons and Penguins. Had way to many of both. lol
Tamara and Marla-I knew mom's were evil! That's where all my stuff went.
Sam-Love when kids do that. Can't tell you how many times one of our boys do that to us. I am excited for you on the family thing. They will all be so impressed with you fearless leader!
So before I get to my positives, let me start with the one not so positive. The duathalon is full so it's swim or stay home. So here is the plan. I am going hit the pool repeatedly from now until the big day. It's gonna be a race day decision. I'll keep you all posted.
Postives for the day are that my eating was great and I ran and rode today so the excerise was dang good too. The other positive is actually from yesterday and I had completely forgotten about. I attended a baptism for my best friends daughter yesterday and needed to get a new shirt so I shot over to the store and took a look. They had a shirt that I really liked but only had it in a medium. Gave a shot and holy crap. It fit NICE. Friggin MEDIUM....are you kidding me. Feeling good about that one.
lol

Evening All! Just dropping in to say Hey before I go to bed. Been working my 12 hour day and now am wore out. I ate pretty good today so hopefully it will stay with me the rest of the week.
Andrew-Whatever choice you decide Good Luck to you!! You can do whatever you set your mind to!
Hey to everyone else! All ya'll going on vacation Have Fun and Be Careful!!!
Goodnight Everyone!0 -
Checking in quick to catch up. What a busy day. I'm whooped. I still have to pack tomorrow and get a ton of stuff together and take care of a few last minute things. Good thing we aren't leaving until noon. I'll need every second I have!
Positive- productive day, I actually didn't count my calories, but only ate breakfast, lunch and dinner, so I can't imagine I went over- in fact I'm probably under. Hmmm, I wonder, I'm hungry. Heading to log now!0 -
Happy "Last Chance Workout" Team! Everyone must be so busy with their workouts. Not sure I've ever seen it this quiet here.
Positive: Stayed within my calories yesterday.
Positive: As long as I don't side step today, I'll be within my calories and that includes the jello cake.
Positive: Did 20 minutes on the elliptical today. Thought I'd die or fall off, but I did it and so thankful I did.
Positive: Get to leave work at 3 today. (Having to drive 35 mins to get the kiddos, 35 mins back to the doctor for their physicals, then 45 back home is not so positive. But, I won't mention that.)
TTYL0 -
I did my 7 mile walk this morning which was fabulous I couldnt run most of it my hip was hurting possibly from the day befores run oh well thats ok I burned 700 calories between my walk and crunches so I will take it.
My positive for the day: Is I am having turkey tacos for lunch rather then 3 oz of chicken and 2 tbs stubbs bbq sauce, I have been eating chicken and stubbs for a month of sundays!!!! My turkey taco was fabulous. I also ate 3 cups of mixed veggies with it I thought I am gonna be hungry this afternoon but to tell you the truth I am stuffed!!!
Hope everyone is doing good!!!0 -
Kati-That is some great positives! Great work on the elliptical! And getting out of work early rules!!!!
Tamara-Turkey taco's-that sounds GOOD. I'll be having a turkey meatloaf sandwich with oven baked fries tonight. There are no veggies in the house! see what happens when the wife is out of town. lol
Positives for the day- Gonna be nicely within my calories and got out for a ride even though I really didnt feel like it and was mega tired from work. and as usual. Once I got out there I have a blast and was so glad I went.
Anyway, I'll check in a bit later. Gonna hit the hay early tonight gotta be up at 4:30 to get to work on time tommorow.

I did it!! I got up early and went to the gym, only to be beaten up by a big old trainer ( :blushing: 5'1" and 120 pounds:blushing: )
It felt good to get it over with 1st thing. I hope I remember that when the alarm goes off at 5 am on Thursday:laugh: :laugh:
P.S.
Do not send your trainer a text at 10 pm when you are feeling fat and old, telling her you want a tight tummy and to be able to do 10 military push ups in a row. She WILL remember.

Good evening Fellow Teammates! I hope you are all doing great! I worked another loooong 12 hour day today and thought it would never end. Positive for today: My work day finally ended! Thank goodness! DD was in rare form this evening and going wide open. Then went from that to fussy and pitching a tantrum in about 15 minutes! WTH?? Well that caused her to go to bed a few minutes earlier. Peace and quiet for me. Isn't that awful?
Jeannie-I am proud of you for making your early appointment and sounds like you did great except for the late night text! LMAO!! That was funny!
Good Luck to everyone on the weigh in. And hope everyone has great last chance workouts! I'm going to head to bed here soon. Good night!0
