Have a great time at the beach!

Last night was another Insanity workout. Again I made it through until the end but with a lot of standing around panting watching the fit people doing their thing on my computer. I am noticing that today I am not near as sore as I have been so my body must be adjusting. Food intake was pretty good yesterday as well.…

Have fun mudding and taping this weekend, should give you a nice shoulder workout.

You still did a great job. While it is always nice to hit your activity goals, if losing weight is your main focus then eating at your calorie allotment is the most important thing! Great work.

Went home last night and immediately sat on the bed and opened my laptop. At 11:00 I started getting ready for bed then decided that I shouldn't be so fricken lazy and got into my workout gear. I put in the Insanity disc that I have failed at twice before. The first time it was my calves and the second time it was my…

Finally had an Insanity workout last night that I am proud of. It was the first time this shift that the reason that I had to stop was because my fitness level wasn't there, not because my body parts were hurting me. There was even a spot where I had to rest because my heart rate hit 180. Although it may sound weird that I…

Great work, 9222 steps, very nice!

Yesterday I am going to chalk up as a mental health day. As I mentioned before I didn't walk in the morning, by the time I got home at 8pm I had a near comatose like 1777 steps. I got home and was mentally defeated. Ended up getting into my workout gear, started a workout but quit within minutes and couldn't muster up the…

Yesterday didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Attempted another Insanity video and made it about 23 minutes into a workout and my right knee started to... ping?? I don't know how to describe it. Shooting pain behind my knee cap. I immediately shut it down just to make sure that I didn't hurt myself. I'm wondering if every part…

Nice work today, your consistency is very motivating. Thank you

@jcaldwell0331 Good job on getting to where you did yesterday. 9510 steps is a great amount to be moving today, especially for the first day of getting on track. There's nothing wrong with having a goal that is hard to achieve, it makes it so much sweeter when you hit it. The flip side of that is if you have a problem…

Yes it is giving you false steps 100% My ride to work takes about 1:10 down a bumpy Siberian highway. My old Fitbit Blaze would give me somewhere between 3-4000 extra steps. I have since switched to a Fenix 5 and it would give me about 400. I now make a conscious effort to power my watch down before I get into the vehicle.

Last night was both positive and negative. Got to the apartment with all of the enthusiasm in the world, threw on my workout gear and decided to start Insanity. All was going good for the first 20 minutes. Minute 21 hits and both of my hamstrings start to tighten up, less than a minute later my workout was over. Made it…

Was looking through some old pictures on my phone last night and seen my progress photos from the summer of 2016. Got pissed off at what i look like today, jumped on the bike and nailed an hour ride. Average HR 147, max 170. Calories in check even with an after workout snack. Calories in 1969 Calories out 3922 for a…

Yeah I am happy with the deficit I have been running, hoping that this Garmin knows what its talking about! Last night rode the bike while watching designated survivor. So far it's great, haven't seen it before but stayed up way to late watching it. Made the bike ride go by fast. As I said yesterday morning, I seemed to be…

It's not THAT bad I guess, but you guys got to remember I'm Canadian so when I say it's -18 that's like 0 degrees F. Probably not as cold as you think it is. When I got home last night I was right wiped so I didn't do any workout. Calories in 2028 calories out 3419 for a deficit of 1391 Running deficit 8939 Theoretical…

Yesterday was a successful day to say the least. After arriving to my apartment from work I sat down on my bed and opened my ipad. Just as I started to get lazy I forced myself to get up and went for a 31 minute bike ride. It was well needed because I literally didn't leave my office yesterday for 12 hours except to go to…

So last night I finally went and got some groceries and ended up cooking my meals for the next week and a bit. Was pretty wiped by the time the shopping and cooking was done and didn't feel like working out. Thankfully I wasn't glued to my chair for the entire 13 hours at work and was able to get some decent steps in…

So last night wasn't as good as I was hoping. I got home and procrastinated, then procrastinated some more then decided to hop on my bike. 8 minutes into my ride a buddy from Australia called me and we ended up chatting until around midnight. Needless to say I didn't get a good workout in last night. Regardless everything…

Thanks guys. So yesterday as I mentioned was my first day back at work. I didn't eat very much due to being dead tired as well as having minimal groceries in the apartment, I'll take it though, one day of low calories isn't going to hurt me. So being New Years Eve, we let the nationals go home early which meant that I left…

Oh one more thing. I got myself a new piece of fitness wear. My wife bought me a Garmin Fenix 5x for Christmas and I absolutely love it! I bought one online back in like August or something but ended up getting ripped off for the purchase so I am super pumped that I finally got one!

Hi Jennifer, it seems a lot has happened since the last time I visited your page in March. I know all about falling off of the wagon then getting back on just to fall off again. I’m happy to see that you have been having some successes and I am sure that with the holiday season being over it will get a bit easier on you.…

Hey Tiffany, Just finished reading over all of your pages for the last several months in my quest of getting caught up with everyone on here posting their stories. Great to hear that you have dropped you BF% by like 6% over the last year. I agree with you on the measuring BF% instead of solely focusing on weight. You…

Hey everyone! So it's been over five months since I have posted. Guess what? I have found EVERY SINGLE pound that I lost. The morning I left to come to work I was 242, and that is on my nice scale, not the mean one that I have at my apartment here in Russia. I fly out of here on January 25th and hope to make some serious…

So apparently it's been a week since I posted on here. That means that a really long post that I did went MIA. Since my last post things have been hit and miss. My food recording has stopped for the last several days but my activity level has been decent. I am heading back to the lake on Wednesday for four weeks or so, I…

I hear ya on the buggy app for the phone. I typically use the computer and it's much easier. I hope the beach goes great, every time I am able to get away it makes all of the long hours sitting at a desk feel like it's worth it.

Jillian, great to hear that you are still putting the work in! That 27k step day was huge, that's more steps then I have ever done in a day, nice work. Crazy to see how much sodium can mess around with water weight. It's frustrating to see if but take comfort in the fact that it doesn't hinder fat loss, just temporarily…

Anyways, with two large bears outside of my trailer I figured i would cuddle up next to my wife and stay in bed for a couple more hours. We head home tomorrow for a week or so then I'm back down here for a month. Hoping to get back to low calories tomorrow for a bit. Might even try to take the assault bike for a rip when I…

Phone wouldn't let me post another picture on the last reply.

Hey everyone, I figured I would check in real quick before I bath my daughter and go out and sit by the fire. I'm down at the lake and have been since I got home. So the nutrition and exercise are hit and miss. The first morning I got up nice and early and went for a 6km walk down to the water. It's beautiful in the…
