I keep canned items for lunches at my desk; canned soup, chicken, and Rotel (spicy tomatoes). I cup up raw veggies and fruit to eat along with that everyday. Sometimes, I also bring portioned out leftovers when I have them. I look at the grocery ads on Wednesdays and decide what our dinners will be and shop on Sundays. I…

This older lady at my gym always goes for the bigger lap lane. The one that includes the ladder. She likes it so she doesn't have to get her hair wet (she told me so). Her thing is walking in the lane for about 30 minutes. This is fine but heaven help the person that gets "her" lane. She screamed at me and my fiancé one…

This is awesome!

Yesterday after my big group ride I didn't eat all my calories back! Big one for sure! I've been a cyclist for a long time and use it as my "eat all the things" excuse....not yesterday. Baby steps :)

Yes!!!! My home page is all "kittened"..........

Do like me and ignore it :) After years of snide remarks about my love for cycling, I've learned to keep it to myself. After work I surround myself with "like minded friends". I've even had bosses that once they found out about my cycling they've constantly commented on hating cyclists and sharing the road with…

hmmm.......this may be a con. Too many unanswered posts ;)

My first Half Ironman in September! My training starts in less than ten days so I'm hoping to look real good in my (very tight right now) tri kit :)

I'm susceptible to vertigo. I felt it coming on Monday afternoon so I left work early and took my meds and slept it off. I took two days off from exercising and now I'm back today trying not to miss my riding day. In the past I would have used it as an excuse to feel sorry for myself and miss a week's worth of workouts. So…

Lots of good advice here! :)

I like to mix some radio pop in with my heavy metal. I like Disturbed, Volbeat, 5FDP, and some 80's heavy metal :D

I'm right there with you girl! I hate washing and drying my hair also. I'm going to start HIM training in April (which calls for a workout everyday except Mondays) so I may start playing with air drying it over night and buns and.....ponytails:) Your hair is beautiful!!!!

Swimming drills today after work. I was going to do a heart rate run tonight but stormy weather is moving in:(

Running. Focusing on keeping the heart rate in check. It tends to go through the roof :o

Finally going to breakdown and hem my dress pants. I've got four pair that just hang in my closet due to being too long. That is too long after my round belly went down :)

My NSV is I've ran three days in a row! That's a record for me. Plus I'm doing a heart rate type workout to keep track of my heart rate and keep it in a certain zone so I'm super focused on that an not the fact that I'm up to 3 miles straight:) I usually do the Run 4 Walk 1 which is still my fav but I needed the confidence…

I would recommend the bella shorts by Terry. terrybicycles.com. They have liners as well. They were my first riding shorts and come in short, medium, and longer lengths. Look for the yoga band style for extra comfort in the tummy area :)

Hello Athene! I may not be 100% in the fat category but I'm for sure in the slow category. I've done a few sprints, and olys and can't get fast to save my soul. But I keep trying and I'm stepping up to a half distance this season.....wetsuit legal :) Good luck to you!

I used to tell everyone that I had lost 240 pounds! 40 of my own and 200 of his ugliness! Life was so much better after that decision. More time for living life now!

I've compared MFP to my Garmin and MFP overestimates. I use my Garmin for swimming, running, and biking.

Today, I am grateful that I feel like trail run/walking. Even though I still have a cold and it's 37 degrees outside I can't wait. I'm sure it will make me feel better. Yes, and I'm especially grateful it is Friday!

This probably sounds weird but...........when you know the snacks are there and they are tempting you try chewing mint flavored gum, or brushing your teeth. I've even used Halls sugar free cough drops to make me not want something. I've also put treats in the freezer for later then thaw out a little at a time to meet my…

Use a foam roller as much as you can. Before and after workouts.

Farm to Kitchen Charity Do you ride bikes?

Wow, a friend of mine just had his bike stolen right out of his driveway. So sad.

Participating in the 22 days of pushups challenge.

Roadie in the summer and MTBer in the winter. Love them both!

I stayed in the pool until I had accomplished 750 meters. I usually swim a few laps and leave. But last night I made a plan and stuck with it. I struggle with swimming and knowing this I still signed up for my first half distance triathlon!
