_Dara_

Week 1 was great. Could have been a little tighter on the diet side, but nailed all of my workouts. I swear, my biggest challenge is actually logging everything......I'm terrible at keeping up with my food log!

Good Morning!! Pounded out a short swim this morning (1000 yds) before work and will lift weights this evening. So far so good on week 1. I was a little lax over the weekend, but no harm done.

Nice job!

Got in a 3 mile run at the lake this evening........hot &windy.

You all have some great ideas going!!!! I'm thinking I might do Medusa this year.

Good Morning Everyone!! My name is Dara. I am 39yo and am in Oklahoma City. I am 5'3" and weighed in this morning at 126. I would like to drop down to about 115, but my main goal is to lean out.

Hey!! I am excited to be doing this challenge. I have been very slack on logging my food for the past few weeks and really need a kick in the pants to get going again.

Race the Reaper on Sept. 1st. It's a 10K obstacle course race.

Hi. Sent a request. I am 39 and have a 13yo son. I also do a lot of running and swimming and have started weight lifting about 4-5 months ago.

Hello!!! I am in Oklahoma City. Getting started is the hardest part for sure. Try making it fun or join up with a group. Where in Oklahoma are you at? There are a lot of different types of classes around to get you going and tons of 5Ks and fun runs this time of year. There are also a few running & cycling clubs that are…

1. I am still pretty new to lifting, only been doing it about 4 months or so. But I am loving it & totally addicted! 2. I have followed a couple of programs I got off of bodybuilding.com. I am getting ready to order Ashley Horner's program and give that a try. 3. I didn't have a whole lot of weight to lose, but I did lose…

Yep! Getting ready for a 6 mile obstacle course race over labor day weekend.

Thanks for the responses! It is a good price and I think I'm going to go ahead and order it. If you are interested, I will let you know what I think once I get started.

I'm 5'3 and my goal is around 115. Currently at 125.

Thanks for all the comments! So, for those of you that have competed or are getting ready to compete, do/did you use a coach or did you do it on your own? If you did use a coach, how far out from your competition did you wait to get one?
