Mornin' folks

Lifting and cycling tonight, planning on an easy 2 tomorrow.

I think misterhub nailed it on the head. I've gotten to a goal weight twice, and even though I knew that I still had to be diligent with my tracking, I simply stopped when I got down to that goal and eventually gained some of it back - and in the last case, all of it back. I feel like eating the way I do when I'm tracking…

I am on the same pair of shoes that I bought at the beginning of the year, and they still seem to be holding up well - they're my first pair of Sauconys. I have had Brooks for my last 2 pairs, but these seem to be lasting a bit longer. That being said, I haven't probably put as many miles on these in the same span of time,…

If I'm being honest with myself, I'm not to the point where I'm prioritizing my health and weight loss goals over ordering the types of food everybody else is eating, getting that extra beer or beers, or having a dessert. I started dating someone who is vegetarian and just last night she made me an amazing pesto pasta, we…

I'm kind of new to road biking, just got my first roadie this summer - a Motobecane Vent Noir off of Bikesdirect.com. It came with clipless, but I'm using platform pedals for the time being, and none of my rides have been over 26 miles. My brother in law even set me up with some hand me down bibs and a jersey! Planning on…

Yo.

QotD: Is there a mooby prize? I may qualify for that. My training mantra is "Run. Lift. Bike. Repeat." and I have been consistent with that so far!! Of course I only started that a week ago, but I'm feeling motivated. Alt: I'm pining for just a 6 mile long run in some fall weather, but it's not here yet, and I'm not there…

I certainly could. Took me about 5 minutes (at work, shhh)

Along with what was said, for me being mindful also means being conscious of everything that is involved in the process of eating... the smell, the taste, the texture of the food. Where did it come from? How full do I feel after finishing 1/4 of the plate, 1/2 of the plate? Do I do this all the time? No, not nearly enough.…

Maybe I should have made it carrots, celery and beets instead...

I'm quite happy with the new life we've found here as well! And a big ditto on this one. Ever since I've left the original boards I've gained back almost all the weight I've lost... Yes, you can do it on your own, but man it's helpful to have some folks to lean on. In the spirit of this thread, I decided to update the GoaD…

Alt: I can take over the Tuesday post. I love watching the olympic athletes as well, and it does have an inspiration factor for me. It honestly doesn't matter what event it is, but just seeing them do their thing makes me want to get up off my *kitten* and train. I got out for 2 last night, just trying to get back into the…

I had no idea Dennis passed away... thanks Steve. :'(

So cool

Homemade veggie green curry, rice and strawberries on the side. Good stuff, about 600 calories.

Here I am.

The struggle is real...

I finally got out for a run on Wednesday! Slogged through 2 miles, but I was glad I did it. I don't think I'll be watching too much olympics this weekend, I'll be pretty busy. Might be able to catch a bit of it here and there, especially Sunday. Alt: When I first started running, I formed my life around my running…

I had a similar reaction when I saw this picture recently... There were a few *kitten* said when I saw this as well, since I've since gained 60+lbs back. The weird thing is that I don't remember what about my mindset was so different back then that kept me lean, but I think we all know the answer was that it was less a…
