Great to see everyone! Having fun reading. Cynthia, I am contemplating doing a cleanse for recharging. Kilosierra83, Good to hear the knee held up. Mine wasn't too sore after the hike but then I went and played with the dog and he slammed it back. Yikes! Chris, I like your thinking. As soon as I arrived at work I talked with my lunch friend's about how I am going "hard core" and they said they want to too. Nice! I have a tendency to want to plan and then I get sidetracked and it loses it's power.

Today has been good. Water goal reached. I feel focused on fixing the stuff that needs to be fixed. Feeling bad about previous choices doesn't get me anywhere but bummed. Glad I joined the group. It is helping me:) Starting the new ST plan tonight. Printed off both plans' first day workouts and will pick it when I get downstairs. Bring on the weights!!!

Where do these days go! Its week six for my aerial arts class, time to sign up for season 2 again.

3 miles RX'd today. 2 at a comfortable pace followed by 1 faster mile:

1. 7:58 (-0:03 from last time)
2. 8:14 (-0:15)
3. 7:33 (-0:11)

For a grand total - 23:49 7:56/mile

I felt great today. I ran with fantastic form (or I felt like it was) and when I finished I didn't feel like laying on the ground for 2 minutes before logging this. I'm pulling a 22 hour fast today just to clear my body out from all the weekend shenanigans. Tonight, Wall-E with pork chops, rice, and green beans! Oh and plenty of water. As of this post I'll be at 135oz...which my goal is body weight in ounces so I have a couple bottles left to go.

Kris that's a great mindset. Focusing on things in the past only bring on depression! Way to be forward thinking!

Heron can you tell me what MCT oil is?

Happy Tuesday Folks! Quick turn around to work this morning have a Root Cause Analysis meeting this morning, can't really say what its about since it involves a patient, but if you are familiar with Six Sigma you'll know it can be a pain. Followed by Treadmill Maintenance Contractor coming in. Then a full shift as well. gonna be a long day.
Posting in my food diary this week, as a periodic maint cross check.

Day 9 still on the pace

Happy Tuesday! Arturo, but who's counting? Chris, congrats on the run and feeling great. Wall-E is such a sweet movie. I cry every time I see it. Heron and John, thanks for sharing. I never heard of that stuff. Yes, I live under a rock. Well done everyone on sticking it out.

I hit the snooze FOUR times this morning. The doctors appointment allowed it. Woke up with a fierce sinus headache since the weather is up and down. Zero badness last night with snacks, even though I was crazed wanting something. Well I better get my butt motivated to face the doc's music. Have a wonderful day all.

Good morning everyone. Good day yesterday - ate well, lots of water, lots of walking. Didn't start that cleanse. On my way to the gym for a legs & core workout!

The brain side of things is interesting. I am feeling more alert and focused but the other day I was dropping things constantly. In my case I think it's just part of the adjustment period since I had been eating really bad and switched up completely. Either way it just goes to show that we don't fully understand what all food does to us, especially the processed and altered crap...

Down another pound this morning, I know the first ten pounds or so drop off fast, but man I wish it would keep this sort of pace!

Plan to tape myself tonight and start recording measurements about once a week.

I'm still in! WOO HOO!
