Works for me! I just found out I'm probably going to have to work some OT on Saturday after all, so Sunday would be excellent. And nice to sleep in a smidge. :)

i might get talked into a half some day...but a full marathon is far beyond the limits of what my attention span can take on the ol' C2. even with a 10k, i sometimes get that whiny "are we there yet?" voice in my head. :)

Some great ideas from others. Being busy or working an abnormal schedule can certainly make eating healthy and working out challenging. You mention having a family...any chance you can enlist them to assist with chores and dinner after work, even if it's just two days out of the week, in order to squeeze in a workout…

Awesome! Is there a general consensus whether everyone would prefer Saturday vs Sunday? @jneen29‌ I usually wear workout type clothes, depends on the weather, but layering is helpful. Hiking boots are a good idea if you have them, but you can probably get away with sneakers for poo poo point. Definitely bring water and…

7.5% so far (including before joining MFP) 5 more lbs to goal and i'll be at 11%

SW:(Starting weight) 162 lbs (May 2014) CW:(Current weight) 150-152 GW:(Goal weight for this month) 145 Start of the month(03/01 Sunday): 151.2 03/07 (Saturday): 150.6 03/14 (Saturday): 149.2 03/21 (Saturday): 151.4 Total weight lost: +.2 lbs this the absolute wrong week of the month to hope for any weight loss with only a…

I actually could do either Saturday or Sunday that weekend (28/29)

I got divorced for a reason. Just sayin'.

The medical conditions that run in my family scare me. Maybe more so since it doesn't appear like much effort is made to try to use lifestyle changes to help manage things like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, which really just leads to worsening health and other complications. I want to be healthy and fit now in my…

I don't really need to lose weight, so I get a lot of less than supportive reactions from people when I say I'm trying to eat healthier, work out more, etc. I also would like to lose about 5-10 lbs, which would loosen the waistband on a lot of my work pants to a more comfortable and flattering fit. I also felt more…

Concept2 has a ton of resources on their website, including advice for newbie or "novice" rowers. Definitely look through some of their videos on technique to make sure you get the proper form nailed before you start trying to row longer times or distances. Rowing is an excellent full body workout that is also fairly low…

absolutely i'm interested! was out of town over the weekend and just checking back in. sundays are usually good for me (i normally work wed-sat)

Getting ready to hop on the rowing machine for another 5k

SW:(Starting weight) 162 lbs (May 2014) CW:(Current weight) 150-152 GW:(Goal weight for this month) 145 Start of the month(03/01 Sunday): 151.2 03/07 (Saturday): 150.6 03/14 (Saturday): 149.2 Total weight lost: 2 lbs

i'll start by saying i really enjoy bikram hot yoga. i found it really improved my strength and flexibility as well as helped me sleep better and made me want to eat well and take better care of myself. however, i don't feel that the classes themselves made any huge difference in my weight. taking better care of myself and…

I have done Bikram yoga and really enjoyed it. The heat of the room seems to help me go deeper into the postures and improve my flexibility. I think what I really appreciate about it as opposed to a more meditative or relaxing yoga is getting familiar with the postures and seeing my improvement as I practice more. It may…

As a long time rower and former coach, I feel I should share a few words of caution regarding high resistance settings with basically max effort. I don't know your background and you're welcome to take this however you like, but that combination can lead to injury. This is especially true if your form isn't excellent…

Getting ready for another 5k row and a PiYo workout

I'm up for it as long as it's not miserably rainy. A light rain or mist can be sort of nice. I'm out of town this weekend, but should be available the couple weeks after

hiked poo-poo point with a really fit friend not long after i moved here...it was rough, but beautiful! i'm definitely in better shape now, but also haven't done much hiking since. mt. si is on my list though!

meh. i'm a broncos fan :smiley:

sounds like hiking is something that is catching everyone's interest. maybe we should set a date/time to meet up and get it done? saturdays are usually no good for me, but a sunday would work! and really, the more the merrier :smile:

same here! i usually don't have trouble staying within my calorie goal, but some days it takes way too long to motivate myself to work out. even though i know i'll feel better after. happy to have more "friends" here to kick my butt

signed up as well! doubt i'll put up as many meters as @20yearsyounger‌ though :smile:

PiYo Core and a 5k row

i'm a "morning person" working a 2pm - midnight shift. sleep is something i struggle with.

swam, no. kayaked, yes. HYE driven in a country where they drive on the opposite side of the road?

yuck corned beef and cabbage?
