Hi Everyone! Sorry I have been absent! Just horribly busy! The girls are good, and Dayanne is fine. Day has been running a little with me and has dropped 4 pounds! I am happy for her. We went to an art show last weekend and it was a real good time. It was a juried show and had very high quality stuff that was a lot of fun…

TGIF! Quiet day so far here in Indiana. That is a good thing! Not a lot to tell about. I have been training hard and I am a little on the sore and beat up side today. My shoulders hurt from the extra upper body workouts and the swimming. All of the family is well, at least at this writing! Day and I are going to an art…

Good Morning Everyone! Sorry for my absence! Day and had a very busy weekend. We got our flowers planted and the garden out. We went to spend Saturday with our mothers. Monday we worked out and had supper with our best friends. Yesterday we went to the casino, no luck. Monday I ran about 10 miles! Pretty decent time.…

Good Evening All! Happy Memorial Day! We went and seen our mothers Saturday and it was a nice enough visit. Sam went back to school on Saturday too. Yesterday we planted the garden and our flowers. They both look nice! Today we had a cook out with our best friends, in between thunderstorms! So it has been a nice weekend!…

Good Evening All! Well I finally did it. I worked out to exhaustion! I just had no more left at all! I have been trying to find this place in my head and body for about 2 months, I found it and it brought a smile to me on the inside! No pain anywhere, just no gas left! LOL I believe I am triathlon ready. I am fit and…

Good Morning Everyone! Marie I am glad your machine is back up and going for you! Don't worry about the other stuff, you will be fine! Question for the group: How many of you have web cams? Let's talk about that! Sandy and Birdie! I used to be really camera shy. I did not want my picture taken. I will see what I can find…

Hi All! I am smiling! I just posted a new weight! I now have a normal BMI! body fat percentage is down to 11%! I am ready for my Colts tryout! It has been a journey, so many days and weeks I did not think it possible! Everyone here has made it possible for me! I thank you all from the very bottom of my heart! ( and my…

Birdie! I have dealt with a lot of stress in my family too! It is a weight loss killer! I can only suggest that you just stay focused. Remember this, we are all in this together! It is just life. Some crappy some good, but just life. It is very normal to worry over your girls and family. I would be concerned if you didn't…

Good Morning Everyone! I read the post and it looks like everyone is doing well! Day and I went to our race on Saturday and it was flooded out. The course was under 2 feet of water. We did help pick up fish out of the parking lot and put them back in the lake! LOL What a day! LOL Amanda had he big school performance Friday…

Hi Everyone! Maire listen your doctors! Dayanne I have been married 36 years and we are on our 5th box of salt! And one of those I used on the sidewalk to melt ice about 10 years ago! It can be done. I think food taste better without salt and I just cannot tolerate salty foods. Gayla 3 in a row! Good for you! Lets shoot…

Good Morning Everyone! Beautiful day here, finally! I am going to mow the lawn after it dries up. I need to wash Day's car and clean up the inside some. Sam's really needs it too! I have the beds made and the last load of laundry is getting ready for the dryer, and the dishes are put away and the floors cleaned. Busy busy…

Good Afternoon All! Birdie that food sounds great! And I am hungry! LOL Just got back from my swim. 1,900 yards today just a little short of 1.25 miles. I am getting stronger with the swim so I am a little encouraged today. I am planning on biking a little today and lot tomorrow. I am also planning on running today. It…

Good Morning Everyone! Gayla I am sorry about your family issues. I know what you are going through. I have been dealing with the same type things for years now. Not at my house but at everyone else's. I don't really have any "break through" advice for you. I would only remind you that you too are entitled to a life. I…

Hi Everyone! Marie great for you on the weight loss! Tell Jerry that I am thinking of him. I am sure that all will be fine. Today I rested! Day and I went to see our mom's. I had a great visit with mine and a very nice lunch. We talked for about 4 hours. Very nice afternoon. Tomorrow I pick up my race bike and I am…

By the way! Nice pictures ladies! I enjoy them! I will try to post some more myself before long. Jeffrey

Good Evening Everyone! Just a short note to say hello! We have tornado's not too far from here and some rough weather coming in. Quiet day here, no word on the job yet. I know I am in the final 4 but who knows? I am not worrying about it. If this one does not work out another will. Today was yoga day. After that I ran 2.2…

Chris, I started at 272 and now weigh in at 183. I was a 42 waist now a 30. I did it the same way you are doing it. If you feel good, continue, if you are starting to feel some pain (not soreness) back it down. Pay particular attention to your diet and be sure to get the proper amount of nutrients that you need for this…

Good Morning Everyone! MARIE! So very happy to see you back with us! Now don't over do it and rest up! We had one of the busiest weekends ever. The girls were great and a lot of fun! Sam went through graduation although she still has her student teaching to do yet. But the worst is over for her! Amanda is great and waiting…

Barb, Thanks for the update on Marie! Marie if you are up and reading, get well soon! I have missed you! Jeffrey Ran 5.5 miles last night, rode the bike 14 miles, and did my strength and ab workout. This old man is tired today. This afternoon we are going to Indy to pick up Amanda at the airport. She coming home for Sam's…

Margarette, My daughters have the very same issues! Hang in there, that may be a contributing factor, but I think that the salt intake will solve some of the issues along with an increase in workout intensity. Be well, train hard! Jeffrey

Margarette, I have had some similar things happen on my weight loss. I would recommend taking a good look at your salt intake. Salt will cause water retention. It takes very little water retention to alter your weight some. Your weight really appears to be pretty good. A 3 or 4 pound loss is approx 3-4%. That is large for…

Good Morning! Another beautiful morning here! I am still a little beat up from yesterdays workout. I will probably ride my bike today and test out the new computer I put on it. I have made the final 8 out of 1500 for a position with a firm out of Chicago. I started reviewing and practicing for the panel interview that I…

Good Evening! Gayla keep the faith sister! It will all get better. I hope Neil heal well. Well I swam today..... I did the mile! 53 minutes for 1,800 yards. Just a little over a mile! I am triathlon ready now, just need to work on my speed in all events. I also ran 3 miles and then a plyometric workout for an hour. I am…

Good Morning! Your first step is done! congrats! Just go and get 'em! I am certain that you will do fine. If I can do it anyone can! If there is any help I can offer just ask! Jeffrey71

Good Morning! Beautiful morning here today! Rain is coming though, Sandy you may be getting it now. I am heading out for a swim here in a few minutes, and then some household chores. Pretty quiet day! Gayla I hope Neil recovers rapidy, and you get some deserved time for Gayla! Birdie there were about 300 in last Sundays…

Good Morning! Beautiful day here in Indiana! Sunny and calm winds. I am going to help my neighbors today put storm doors on and workout some. I have to do a couple of things to my race bike so I can ride it in traffic. I am also planning on running some on the road today. I want to run another race in a couple of weeks and…
