Go GREEN TEAM!
Great effort and well done on the warrier dash. I have just completed my first run in 4 weeks a lot slower than I usually am but 2.2miles in 46 mins and my proudest moment was I did the whole thing with my mouth shut!
I have always ran with my mouth open but now tonsils removed I have discovered the art of running and breathing with mouth closed.. cue a better intake of O2 and less tierd and no hypoventilating and flies in mouth.. this was why I was slower today I think, concentrating on breathing.
I have been doing the NHS couch to 5k and its all interval running 30s run 3 min walk etc and then gradually you build it up.. week 6 im now running 10 mins non stop with a 5 min warm up and a 3 min walk between 10 min runs. You will get there, I feel so much better for doing it and it is a mental journey.. I tell myself I can run a little bit more and push myself.
Eating wise this week, ive certainly eaten more I just need to now manage each meal and plan a bit better. still drinking loads of water.
Itll soon be another weigh in.
Well done team xx0 -
Charlotte, funny you mention the breathing thing cause I just noticed it yesterday myself. I start out my run mouth closed but as I start to get tired my jaw drops. I ran 5k yesterday and it wasn't until the last mile or so that I had to start pushing. Its been a while since i've ran that far. It felt really good though and set my day off with a great start.
Looks like I might finally have some sort of a set schedule now at my new job which will definitely help to get me back on board with a regular workout routine. I've got to figure out meal plans too though cause I'm working 11am to 8pm, straight through lunch and dinnerohwell I'm gonna try to get up and stay up with my husband in the morning to help give me more hours of the day to work with. He gets up any where between 3 and 6am though and I have never been a morning person. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do though, right?!0 -

I hear you! I get up at 4:30 every morning and make mine his lunch for work. I SHOULD try and make the gym first thing in the AM but you're lucky if I get 15min in on my own elliptical!
Almost weigh in time...and I worry that I won't contribute much to the number this week....good thing that the weigh in is the night BEFORE I am going out for an "Un-Bachelorette" party (My girlfriend has been Married for 20 years and is renewing her vows in Vegas...she never had a bachelorette party...we are making up for it!)
My food has been on for the most part. I eat the same things every day for breakfast and lunch for the most part, so that helps.

Sorry guys, My days in NYC, coupled with my period saw a substantial gain this week of 5.6 lbs! :grumble: Next week will be better but unfortunately I still can't workout. Saw my doctor today and it turns out I have a torn muscle in my back. It'll take 6 weeks to heal.0

Hi Ladies
well despite my exercise, eating well and being 100% on it, I have maintained this week. Feeling a bit pants about it but I have drank less water this week and as its the first week since surgery I have been eating 3 meals a day im putting it down to that. body correcting itself and all.
Back on it again today... im doing 1000 press up and 100miles challenge for august if anyone wants to join me.. not sure I will run the miles but ill give it a go.
Yesterday (Friday) I did the following
35 press-ups
30 sit ups
20 leg raises
20 side leg raises
30 hip raises
I can certainly feel it in my arms today.. I did most of them inbetween commercial breaks.
Good luck for weigh in ladies and for this next coming week. I will be drinking lots of water this week, see if it boosts the weight loss again.

Have to give my apologies. Friday and Saturday was my Girlfriend's "Re-Bachelorette" party...and I missed my first weigh in. I did not gain or lose...exactly the same, so it would not have swayed the results in any particular direction...but still...
Back on the Horse today! I am looking to log a few miles on the treadmill...Although, I am experiencing my first case ever of "Runner's Toe"...common in people who fun long distances or trail run (Hello Warrior Dash). I spent last week committing an "Office No-NO" and wore flip flops to work because my big toes are completely bruised under the nail. It looks worse now, but not as painful. Guess this is a good time to get a pedicure with a nice DARK polish...
Tomorrow I'll be back in my BodyPump class.0 -
HELP! I need cabbage recipes! Who knew when you cut off the first head SIX more would grow back!!!:noway:0

Traveling vacations are officially over for the summer so hopefully I'll be getting back into a decent workout routine. I'm on week 5 of 6 non-workout weeks due to my back injury, but I started taking short 1/2 hour walks with my dog as of yesterday and today. I'm hoping to be able to start bootcamp again at the beginning of September. At this point I'm not sure if the minor aches are due to my back not being used, like it usually is, or still from the muscle tear. Last week of vacation so I'll keep walking and hope for the best.0
