Always happy to support people, feel free to add me! I'm a runner and I've been on this journey on a long time.

Back in business! January was a brutal month, but it's over now. February 1, 2019: EXERCISE: Yes. 4.25 mile run in 38:15. CALORIES: Yes. Under by 207. Net total of 2083. 189g protein. Good on all accounts, except for... TRACKED: Yes, everything, which is why I was way over on sugar.

Always happy to meet new, motivated people. Add me! :)

January 27, 2019: EXERCISE: Yes. Ran half marathon distance in a personal record time of 1:40:38. CALORIES: Under by 363. 178g protein. Over on carbs, which was a bit necessary after the long run. TRACKED: Yes. Especially the post-run Gatorade and pastry.

I've fallen behind, since I'm already out of the Winner's Circle. January 25 would've been a pass anyway. January 26, 2019: EXERCISE: Yes. Half mile jog plus 35 minutes of weight lifting. CALORIES: Under by 95 calories. 181g protein. Over on fats. Right on target. TRACKED: Yes, including dinner at an Italian restaurant.

January 24, 2019: EXERCISE: Had to take my cat to the cardiologist, which involved lugging him around quite a distance (and he's 17 pounds!) Logged over 11,000 steps in total. CALORIES: Under. 2290 target; 2764 consumed - 617 burned = 2147 net, which is right where I want it. Hit my protein target, was over on fats, and…

That's under maintenance for today. TRACKED: Yes, including the Belgian truffles someone brought into the office.

January 21, 2019: EXERCISE: Braved the wind chill to get to the gym and ran a 6 mile easy run on the treadmill (10:00/mile). CALORIES: Under. 2290 target; 2263 consumed (193g protein) - 627 exercise = 1636 net. Still struggling to hit the sweet spot of calories on running days. TRACKED: Yes. Had plenty of banana bread…

January 18 and 19: As I alluded to earlier this week, I needed to take some time to reflect on my goals. Both this time and the last time I was in the UAC, I slimmed down really quickly, both times a little more than I really wanted to. I decided I needed a reset. Didn't track for large portions of both days, so that…

Physics major ;)

We're out of them in the office now :( I did not indulge in the Reese's cups today, which is good, because I was barely under.

January 17, 2019: My weight was super low this morning, as I have seriously increased my running mileage since the start of 2019. But it was enough that a co-worker asked me if I was doing all right, like I was starting to look ill. I feel like I should probably reassess my goals and targets, which is currently set at…

January 14, 2019: EXERCISE: Yes. Got in 25 minutes of walking just walking to and from the doctor's office, but as a result of having blood drawn there during that visit (and the long run yesterday,) this was a rest day otherwise. CALORIES: Yes. 2020 target; 2239 consumed - 221 burned = 2018 net. TRACKED: Yes. You'll see I…

Hey everyone, I'm John, I'm a runner, I've been pretty active on here for about two years now, but there's always room for more friends, more motivation, and more people to cheer on. My diary is open to friends and I'm currently training for a half-marathon. Let's be friends!

January 9, 2019: EXERCISE: Yes. 35 minute walk on my lunch break, plus doing the laundry included a lot of walking to and from the laundromat and a small amount of lifting. Garmin watch says 577 active calories today (MFP calls it 495 from the sync) so that's quite a bit for not having a really focused workout today.…

January 7, 2019: Pass #1 Woke up sore after four straight days at the gym (still not quite where I was a month ago.) Too cold and couldn't find the time around work to take a brisk walk. Had plans in the evening. Work stress then caused me to eat a little too much anyway. On to the next one!

January 6, 2019: EXERCISE: Yes. Got my long run in today. 8 miles in 1:04:10 (8:01/mile). It was my first fast run since having oral surgery in December, so I finally feel like I'm back to my old self again. In total, I ran 22 miles this week. Climbing to 26 this week in a slow build up to 50. CALORIES: Yes. 2020 target;…
