Yes. There's room for improvement but overall - I'm good.

One hour of vinyasa yoga.
-
Boot camp this morning (burpees, squats, bench press, tuck jumps, etc.) and a very soggy 3 mile run at lunch.
-
I run all my halves without fuel (or water - but I don't live in a hot place) and I'm not hungry for a few hours after. My anti-fueling tendencies don't work well for a full though; I've run four and have yet to figure out what works best for me. Bonk!

I do morning runs fasted up to about 8 or 10 miles. Longer than that, I'll have a packet of oatmeal or a scone or something beforehand. On runs longer than 15 miles I'll fuel during - I like the warm gooey disgusting Gu. Marshmallow flavor and Birthday Cake are my favorites.

This is funny because I'm also from WA State and call it soda. Although i honestly can't recall what any of my friends or family members call it.

I love hot yoga (all yoga) - I don't know if it's any better of a workout but I feel like I can get in a deeper stretch and there's something satisfying about sweating out buckets (I've weighed myself before and after and sweated out three pounds of water, and that was with drinking about 20 oz). I like running in hot…

4.69 mile run

I skipped the gym this morning but did an hour of yoga after work.
-
I'm at the gym 3 days a week, run 4 or 5x a week, yoga once a week. Saturday is generally my only rest day but I'll often go for a hike.
-
Boot camp: 4x thru: 5 burpees, 10 push ups, 20 bosu squats, 30 mtn climbers, 40 toe touches, 5 reverse burpees, 10 KB DL, 15 bench press, 20 tricep extensions, 10 side planks w/toe taps, 20 KB swings, 30 jumping jacks with tuck jumps, 40 Russian twists. And a run at lunch. Maybe.

Boot camp this morning - D/L, KB swings, rows, stairs, lunges, etc. And a 4.7 mile run at lunch with speed work.

Tonight is "Thursday Night Hill Run" - it's a route my friends and I do weekly (on Thursdays ;) ) and it's about 2 1/2 flat miles through downtown, onto a trail, through the park, and then the hill starts - up the dock, up, up, up through a neighborhood - 500 feet of elevation over about 0.6 miles. About 6.3 miles total -…

Hi, I’m Shelly, 48 years old, and I’ve been on MFP for 8 years. I’ve always been active and was always thin growing up … but then when I was 33 I was trying on bikinis in a department store dressing room and the reflection in the threeway mirror was an unpleasant surprise. The bathing suits went back on the rack and I…

I'm 5'10, 140 something pounds (haven't weighed myself in a while) - I wear a US size 6, small shirts. When I'm at goal weight (136#) I occasionally wear a 4 / size XS, but mostly I'm a pretty solid 6.

I'm 48. I don't really think about my age much. I still do all the same activities I did in my 20s and 30s. Still have plans to go bigger and better (well ... not to BE bigger, but to accomplish new goals ;) I'm happy with who I am.
-
I usually run fasted (for morning runs and races). Sometimes I'll have a little oatmeal or cottage cheese, or maybe part of a muffin. But I don't eat anything within an hour.

I'm training for a 50k in October. I've done 30+ half marathons, 4 fulls, and this will be my first ultra. Training was going very well until I was diagnosed with a "stress reaction" in my foot. I haven't been able to run for five weeks. I get to go out and run ONE mile on Thursday ... and then build back up from there. So…

I've been doing yoga on and off for over 20 years. I started with an MTV workout - on VHS. I went to a hot yoga studio for years, mostly doing power vinyasa with a few hatha and yin classes thrown in. Then my gym hired a great instructor. It's a fantastic counter to distance running and I think it's helped to keep me…

I'm 5'10, 150#. My BMI is 21.5. I haven't had my BF% calculated in a while - I'd guess low 20s. I wear a size 6 and size small tops. My clothing size doesn't really change too much though, even with a 20# weight swing. At 155# I was a size 6 in most things (although some of my smaller fitting size 6s became too tight and…

I'm 5'10. Starting weight 155, goal weight is 134. It's where I was a few years ago and i stayed within a few pounds and then in the last year and a half or so the scale started creeping up. I run, do spin, yoga, a boot camp class, and lift weights. And I do a lot of hiking.
-
3 or 4 times a day for me. First thing in the morning before the gym, at lunch before I run - and again when I get home from work. And sometimes once more before bedtime for kicks.
-
Ha - I never realized how abnormal I am. I go 3 or 4 times a day. Overachiever right here.

Height - 5'10.5 Weight - 151 this morning Goal Weight - 136. That's what I weighed 4 years ago and I maintained within 5 pounds of that until a year ago and then I got complacent and the weight started creeping back. Bust - 8 year old boy. (36A - they sell bras my size in children's' stores!) Waist - 27?? Hips - 36…

You're off to a fantastic start! I'm 47 and I've been on MFP for 6 years. I started at 158, got down to 136, but starting slacking off in the last year and now I'm at 147 working to get back down to the mid 130s.
-
I'm 5'10 1/2. My goal weight is 136 because that's where I was 4 years ago and I like how I looked.
-
I just want to repeat the part about not going out too fast - other than that, sounds like you're well prepared. Have fun!!

I live in the Pacific NW and between trail running and hiking I spend a lot of time up in the mountains. These are the hikes I've done in the past couple weeks: Church Mountain, Diablo Lake, and Yellow Aster Butte. You can see some of the smoke from the wildfires in Canada in the Diablo Lake pic.
