I am really late to the party, here, but I am just now re-committing to myself. After being laid off for a month just after Christmas and starting a new, much more demanding job, I've lost 3 full months or more of what used to be an incredible routine. With summer around the corner and an extra 8-12 pounds from my all time…

Considering my actvity level was a lot lower this week, I am pleased that I didn't gain. I will see a loss next week!

I'm a little late to the party... But my January goals: -Run entire 5K Jan. 1 (DONE) -Do some sort of activity for a minimum of 30 minutes everyday -More strength training SW 1/5/14: 179.2 1/12/14: 176.4 (loss of 2.8 lbs)- still 0.8 lbs away from low weight in December. 1/19/14: 1/26/14: I am trying to focus less on the…

This week went okay. Really struggling emotionally with some things. And it's COLD so running has been tough. I really need to drag my bum outta bed and do a workout in the mornings! And get back to planning my meals... 12/16 CW: 175.6

This week went well. I ran Tues and Thurs. Walked around all day Saturday and Saturday night and did okay with eating over the weekend. I did not really do any strength training, though. 12/10 CW: 177.8!

Dec. SW 183 (up a lb from Nov SW) Dec. GW <180 Goals for December: -Run 3x a week (Tue, Thu, Sat) -Strength train 3x a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) -Stay within calorie limits 6 days a week -Drink 80 oz. of water everyday

11/1: 182.2 11/13: 180.2 11/17: 178.4 11/24: 178.4 (did not weigh) 11/30: I didn't weigh in and am keeping the same weight from last week. I haven't been able to workout for a few days now. I have a terrible cough and body aches. I haven't slept a full night in almost a week due to the coughing. I get out of breath just…

11/17 Check In November Goals: - Run a total of 30 miles: Added 2 miles on Thursday (although I walked a lot due to this cold I'm finally starting to get over) Added 3.63 yesterday FOR A TOTAL SO FAR OF 20.37 *I can't update my ticker from my home PC, so I will have to do that tomorrow from work. - Complete the 30 Day…

I'm 5'3", 30 years old and am currently at my lowest adult weight (180 lbs) I may have been under 180 right after high school, though I was packing on the pounds quickly. I am certainly at my HEALTHIEST right now. My original goal weight when I started at 233 pounds was 175. Since I am within 5 pounds, I have decided that…

Although I walked about half of it, I'm still counting today's 2 miles. Simply because I DID it even though I felt like I was going to be sick and my body aches all over.

I'm in Maine and training for a 5K on January 1st. I'm fortunate enough to have a job where I can use my 30 minute lunch break to walk or run while it's still light out. My current schedule for exercise is: Mon + Wed- I get up early and do a 30 minute belly buster routine and I walk 1 mile at lunch Tue + Thu- I get up…

11/13/13 Check-In!! November Goals: - Run a total of 30 miles: - Complete the 30 Day Little Black Dress Challenge On Day 15 today! - Little to No alcohol. I am going to try for an alcohol-free month. If I do end up going out at all, I will limit myself to 2 drinks, max. So far, not even a sip of alcohol! - Keep up with the…

Another Average Pace PR today!!

Another Average Pace PR today!!

Holy smokes! Positive thoughts being sent your way! I hope you M-I-L has a quick recovery and your babes are feeling better! Maintaining was a HUGE victory!

Lots of good choices! I'm gonna pass on fighting for the oh-so-sexy Daryl (Walking Dead) and go hang out with some HOT doctors!! I choose Grey's Anatomy!

Eating at a deficit is absolutely the key to losing weight. Even if you don't exercise, you can lose. My best suggestion to lose weight AND tone your tummy (based on my experiences. I am not a doctor or professional): -Go to www.iifym.com and figure out your TDEE- 20% and start eating that. -Get a nice mix of cardio and…

11/7- 2 miles (and a new PR for time!!)

11/7/13 Check-In!! November Goals: - Run a total of 30 miles: -3.25 miles every Saturday -2 miles at lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays *This is going to be a tough one to attain being that November is cold! My dad and I are signed up for a 5K on New Year's Day, so I need to be prepared! So far, I've stuck right to plan! -…

<--- Hoping my brother gets one soon, as I LOVE deer meat!! I mix mine with ground beef for meatloaf, or use it solo for a spaghetti meat sauce, in chili or soups. I also like to take steak medallions and fry it in butter with onions over a camp fire... YUMMMM!!!!! ENJOY :)

11/1: 3.1 miles 11/5: 2 miles Plan to reach 30: Saturdays (4 more this month): 3.5 miles = 14 miles Tuesdays & Thursdays (7 more total): 2 miles= 14 miles For a total of 33.1 miles total for November.

This is what I was going to suggest. Only I don't eat the dressing as the salsa that comes on it is good enough that I don't need it!

I'm a single, working mom so I can completely relate! I try to do a lot of my cooking (or prep) on Sundays. I usually roast a whole chicken on Sunday. I serve it with mashed sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and green beans. I don't eat the corn. Then I take the leftovers, layer the chicken, veggies then the sweet potatoes, top…

11/1 Revising my goals, just a tad.

August 31- 186.2 September 30- 183.8 October 31- 183 Down 3.2 pounds in 3 months... At least I'm losing. Slowly, but surely. It helps to look at it like this, though. For the remainder of the year, I am going to focus on non-scale related goals.

I strongly suggest going to a site like iifym.com to calculate your TDEE and then deduct 20% to determine how many calories you should be eating. Then be sure to get plenty of protein, healthy fats, fiber and sleep! Good Luck!

I'd like to join :)

I second this.

New Runner in for the first time!! I'm going to try to run 30 miles in November!
