Yes, I have had a bucket list for years...actually before I knew it had an official name. I have it in a small little notebook that I carry in purse and have it with me always. It is a list of all sorts or things...daring, crazy, silly, standard goals, out of the box stuff, etc. Any time something inspires me, I add it to…

I put weight plates under my toes and it forces me to put my weight on my heels. I'm not sure if that is a healthy fix but my CrossFit coach suggested it and it seems to be working for me. I haven't been able to fully correct the issue without the assistance but I am more consistent now when I don't use them.

Another 1.5 miltes on the rower / treadmill today...so far. Total 22.5...ugh...so far from goal! :(

Finally a decent day of mileage...for me 6 miles (elliptacal / treadmill) Total miles this month = 21

Wow! This sure has been a rough month to get miles in! I really need to step it up! 11/20 - 1 mile walking / climbing 11/25 - 1 mile so far today Total this month = 15 miles :( 40 miles in 5 remaining days...hmmmm...not giving up!!!!

Wow, the Crud sure got me after the Tough Mudder race! I've been down and out for over a week with zero exercise! So excited to get a measly mile in today! I've got a lot of ground to make up. 111/19 -- 1 mile Total 13 miles. *sad face*

I doubt I am doing it like everyone else but I wear my HRM and just add the calories burned under cardio.

Sick the first few days of the month so I decided to take it easy for recovery and race prep. Did CrossFit daily but didn't log any miles :( 11/9 - 12 mile obstacle race Traveling and under the weather since the race. Ugh. Hope to hit the pavement again tomorrow. November total -12 miles so far

My October goal (first time) was 50 miles so I am going to make my November goal 55 miles. It is already 11/4 and I have zero miles in so I need to step it up!!

What a great way to start the day! Congrats!

Another 6.5 down 10/22 5 miles 10/23 1.5 miles

10/11 - 10 miles 10/12 - 16 miles 10/13 - 7 miles 10/14 - 10 miles 10/15 - 10/20 - Injury flare up and moving kids 10/21 - 1 mile

44 miles as of 10/21

This will be my first time but I'm in for 50 miles in October. :)

You are in a great place to hit the ground running! There are great people out here for support and encouragement. It sounds like you have a great support system with your new man too. Do this for you and only you! That's the first rule. Second, this journey is NOT a diet. Consider it a lifestyle change. Don't expect…

I was a hardcord Diet Coke drinker...8-10 cans per day! I initially started kicking the habit by drinking one can then one bottle of water. I didn't allow myself the next can until the water was gone. I then did one can and two bottles of water in between, etc. I haven't had a Diet Coke since 4/25/2012. I cut caffeine…

Glad to hear such a success story! I am only on week 2 of the C25K. I am doing okay but can't imagine those higher numbers. Great to know that it can be done even though it is scary as heck!

You are killing it!!! Way to go! I love your motivation! It is contagious!!

Love your positive attitude! Looks like you've jumped in with both feet. Amazing how good it feels, huh! Having friends with similar goals makes it a little easier because you relate to people who actually "get it". Keep it up! You're doing Awesome!

My heart rate monitor was the best investment I made...oh...and the wireless headphones. :)

You have come to the right place! This is a fantastic group of very supportive people! We are in this together. Welcome!!!!

Thanks for posting this. I am in the exact same boat so I am looking forward to the feedback.

New to the group but happy to be here. I lost about 33 pounds before I found MFP but I have a LONG way to go. I am almost 2 years post divorce, relocated to TX in February, new job, and time for my new life. SW: 232.5 (pre MFP...does that count?) CW: 198.6 (first weigh-in for this group) Good luck everyone!
