Exercise - yes - whew! Weightlifting as planned in the morning, and a hardcore late night cardio session to compensate for some afternoon overindulgences. Calories - yes - because of the extra cardio. Had a good plan, but the cafeteria was out of boiled eggs so I had to find another (less healthy) protein source, and then…

Exercise - yes - danced with weighted maracas Calories - yes - despite being at a party with lots of options for overeating Tracked - yes

PASS DAY 1/3 Exercise - yes - walked a lot at the renaissance faire Calories - no - went WAY over eating all kinds of deliciously terrible fair food Tracked - yes - and was appropriately ashamed
-
Exercise - yes - 2000 yards. Didn't feel like it at first but once I got in the pool I felt great! Then a midday walk to the beach, cold but beautiful. Calories - yes - it was a close one! Local pumpkin bread and some late night snacks nearly did me in. Tracked - yes
-
Exercise - yes - wasn't really feeling it today, but did some weightlifting before bed just because I didn't want to confess here and waste a pass day - I guess the challenge works! Calories - yes - this was tough, 2 catered meals at a conference today. Thankfully there were healthy-ish options, but it sure was hard to…

Exercise - yes - 30 min walk/run to recover from leg day yesterday Calories - yes - despite giving in to a slice of free pizza Tracking - yes

Exercise - Yes - leg day! Calories - Yes - macros were good too, which takes some effort for me Tracked - Yes - planned it last night, modified tonight, no time to log during the day

Chronic stopper and re-starter here - not sure if I'm the best person to take advice from. But it sounds like now is a good time to take inventory of your reasons for being here. What motivated you to lose that weight in the first place? How did you feel 2.5 months ago? What can you do today to get back to that feeling? By…

October will be my first UAC. After months of stress-eating while wedding planning, then a month of honeymoon-calories-don't-count denial, I need a strict accountability plan to re-learn how to be kind to myself. I'm not sure I'll find time to log every day, but every 2-3 days should be manageable and will help me to stay…

Are you working with a physical therapist? Swimming might actually help strengthen the rotator cuff muscles to stabilize the shoulder, but you can't just jump in a pool and start race-training, even with breast stroke - even if you go slowly and build up strength safely with medical supervision, you may need to change your…

I'd like to join too!

My boyfriend and I love to geocache together - that's what we did on our first date! We've pretty much exhausted all caches near us (so now caching is only for when we travel), but we've started playing Portal - it's like geocaching and capture-the-flag combined. Portals are much closer together than caches, and you have…

This whole thing sort of screams, "troll!" But just in case I'm wrong and the OP has actually spent ~$900 without his wife's knowledge on this very poorly planned endeavor... This is a very bad plan. To call it unsafe would be an understatement - it is just plain self destructive. An Ironman is not something that can be…

These look so good for the fall!

I usually make it to about 70-80% of my protein goal. Protein-rich foods tend also to be calorie-rich foods that take time to prepare; eating low-calorie foods on the go works better with my lifestyle. I think it's more important to focus on getting complete protein - all the essential amino acids - than to worry about how…

New-onset bruising is not something to take lightly. In the context of a recent diet, it's most likely a vitamin deficiency (particularly Vitamin K, which is needed for blood clotting, and which requires a healthy amount of fat in your diet). Definitely see a doctor and get some blood work done - one vitamin deficiency…
