I don't want to blame winter, but it doesn't help. I get less activity, and am more drawn to cookies, sweets, and comfort foods. My lack of diligence is showing up on the scale in a big way over the past month and a half. I'm working this week on restoring my focus on better choices and tracking, tracking, tracking.

Hi

I can't remember watching 60 minutes of football without an offensive holding call. I haven't seen anyone making this point - and I admittedly didn't watch the game closely enough to know - but my instinct is if the O linemen aren't getting called for holding then they are likely getting away with a ton of it. That will…

> My last trip to the Golden Arches was ... ... on Friday, and it was pretty tasty. To each his own, but from my perspective they're good at what they do. I don't eat McD's often, but when I do I enjoy it. Repeating the theme ... no serious never/always examples come to mind. I try to regulate with portions and balance…

Finished week three. I ran on Tuesday in fresh snow on a favorite big loop back in my old hometown. Day 2 was Friday morning on the TM at home - it was sub-zero cold here in MN. Finished the week on Sunday morning with another tour of the great indoors on the TM at home. Good week. Encouraging. Not very much hip pain,…

Hey, Kim @minimyzeme! C25K is going well, thanks for asking. I'll log week 3 day 2 this evening. I like the structure and would recommend the program to anyone wanting to transition from walking to jogging.

Way to go, @GOT_Obsessed!

I'm not a fan of the TM, but I'll be on one this evening. It's 4 degrees outside with 17 mph winds. It will be sub-zero and dark by the time I'm done with work and able to run, so ... the TM is a necessary evil.

Taking note. My office moved in early Nov and I'm near a TJs now. I've only been in once. We have a Fresh Thyme nearby too. Always interested in your tips!

Finished week two. The good news: I got to do my runs in favorite old running spots in my old hometown. The runs felt great. The bad news: my out of town travel was unplanned and events kind of conspired to keep me from doing all three runs. I logged week 2 days 1 and 3, and will move on to week 3 tomorrow. Going great.…

Good morning. Skol Vikings!

Week 1 complete. I did Mon on the TM at home, Weds on the TM at work, and Sat on a bike/hike path near home. Simple enough. I'm getting some mild soreness in my hip, but nothing I can't tolerate. The good: got all 3 workouts done. Not really a struggle to complete the short 60 sec run intervals in week one. I noticed the…

Red light foods: peanuts and peanut butter My best example of a green light is fresh fruit (apples and bananas most often)

Most of the time, to be honest, I'm not working out on off days. I've always been a poor cross-trainer. I want to start doing this simple 10 minute stretching/strengthening workout on non-running days.

Awesome! That's a great way to start. The C25K workouts are no cakewalk, so you want to be accustomed to walking 30-40 minutes at a pop before mixing in the run intervals.

I know that. I remember. Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was trying to ask if you just recently joined us here at MFP. Call me Brian. I'm a 10+ year GoaD. Does that qualify as old? ;-) Welcome! Let's do this!!!

Are you new to GoaD on MFP, @GennaroC2? Welcome back if that's the case.

The Jags beat the loathsome Pittsburgh Steelers, and I'll always love them for that. But ... It doesn't really matter who wins the AFC as the Vikings are clearly destined to win it all. Skol!

Here!

Most of my fam is on a long road trip today. I haven't pinned the details down yet, but I promisef a comfort food casserole in the oven when they get home. We'll go light on any other eating or drinking.

Hello!

Hi!

I got nothing, but am reading the posts above with interest. Habit defense is really intriguing. First things first ... I'm a Tuesday weigher, and have been skipping out on recording because I didn't want to face the facts. Tomorrow that stops. I'll log my weight and start moving off of my current rough patch.
