    Yeah, I agree. There's definitely a difference between good workout pain and bad workout pain. I ended up doing a double session of the lvl 1 shred this evening, and my knees started feeling a little sore towards the end of the side body lunges. Hopefully I'll know whether it did anything bad by tomorrow's run with my friend. My arms will definitely feel a good sore tomorrow though. Damn push-ups...

    Yeah the push ups are killer and the walking push ups on level two are crazy, but I'm getting better at them. C25K Week 7 Day 2 this afternoon after shopping for new running shoes (so hopefully no more blistered feet) and probably just strength training in the morning because I have a conference during the day and a banquet that night. I will be weighing in the morning and I'm looking forward to a loss :)

    Good job Everyone! I actually gained this week :( super lame but that is ok I figured i would gain some of the weight back since I did a cleanse last week. I am going to even out my goal to be at 165ish. It is going to be tough since I train but I am going to try hard. We will see if I can do it. Lets just say I want to weight less in any case hehe.

    O man I had a bad weekend of debauchery and drinking and bad eating. I really need to get a hold of this so I can lose some this month. Well today is the 1st and I am not drinking until the 11th! I really need to take it easy on the drinks... pretty hard at 25 but I know it can be done.

    I just joined last week, so I'm still getting a grasp on these message boards, but I'm in for this challenge... I'm actually going on vacation the last 2 weeks of March and am going to my best to walk a lot, make better food/drink choices and still lose while enjoying my vacation.

    Whats up everyone? Feeling good about the WI on Friday?? I might weigh myself tomorrow just to see where I am. I have a dinner tomorrow night... I also don't want to go overboard on food tomorrow... I swear this whole living healthy thing is tough stuff!

    Hey ladies! I gave in and weighed myself on Tuesday... still exactly the same to the tenth of a pound! Hahaha, oi vey. Well not feeling super optimistic yet for Friday but just gotta keep trucking along. Every day is a new challenge. Walk more, be active, be conscious of what I'm eating. Definitely appreciating the fact that my clothes are fitting better tho!

    I feel ya lostalykat... no drinking is tough stuff at 25, ESPECIALLY on weekends. Same with food for that matter. My friends and I have a work hard, play harder mentality which results in weekly diet sabotages when Friday rolls around. Trying really hard to behave better this weekend and next weekend is a ski trip to Tahoe so hopefully all the eating and drinking I'll be doing on that trip will be counteracted by the obscene amounts of skiing I'll be doing.

    Also, signed up for two more triathlons this year, making 3 signed up so far!
    March 26th - Showdown at Sundown (Lake Mead, NV)
    May 1st - Spring Sprint (Mission Bay, San Diego, CA)
    Sept 18th - Nautica Malibu Triathlon (Malibu, CA)

    Deeders- I decided that I need to just hold back on the over drinking. If I tell myself I am not going to even have a glass of wine with dinner I am self-sabotaging myself. I totally know what you mean about the work hard during the week and party on the weekends hehe. Are all your races sprint distance? I am thinking of signing up for a few sprint distances since I have already done 2 olympics.

    Yay! Inching towards it! I can't believe I'm actually losing a couple poundage, I hope this momentum keeps up!

    @lostalykat I've only done sprints but the Malibu race is on the long end of a sprint which I did last Sept and am doing again this year. One day I might get brave/strong enough for an Olympic. You've done 2 already?? Such a rock star :D

    How is everyone doing this week? Feeling good about the week?

    I personally have no clue what the scale might say. I splurged a little but I worked out too, this week also will be a challenging workout week so we shall see what the scale says....

    Uuuugh wasn't expecting any drops this last week. Came down with a cold and then also went on a big party ski trip that was filled with bad food and drinks... :(

    Hopefully will kick this nasty *kitten* cold asap with some R&R and get back into a good stride. Didn't get back until last night so I weighed in this morning.
