Looks like today is the last day to sign up for discounted muck ruckus registration... really want to do one of these, but have too many house projects going on... aagh edit: also looks like there is a warrior dash in Hugo coming up...

a smaller portion of bread? I like the village/country hearth light bread and it actually has some protein in it.

what is 'half a can of tuna'? I'll take debunking metabolism myths for 400 please.

definitely signing up for TM2014 (hopefully a marathon too?). Give me some incentive to keep training my long distance running this winter (need to gear up though, don't have any winter running gear right now).

I don't eat them back, I eat them front! Today I can't have more than 300 cals for dinner, but I'm planning on running tonight, so everything will be all good. I regularly go over knowingly if I'm going to be doing a long run.

I am a badass to be. I''ve never done an organized mud/obstacle course, but I just did my first running race on the 4th (Firecracker 10K) and loved doing military obstacle courses back in college.

Did a 10K on the 4th at a pace of about 9:07, current goal is to be able to do a 9:30-9:45 pace for a half marathon this fall.

I weigh 5-6 times a week in the morning before I work out. I use my lowest weight and don't worry about fluctuations (unless it has been several weeks without a "new" low). I reason that there are a lot of ways for the scale to show an inflated "high" number and hardly any (none?) for it to show an artificial "low" number.…

Does iceberg lettuce make you feel... tried and robotic?

Anywhere and everywhere. Portion control is the main thing I've changed when eating out now. I also almost always skip potatoes (because it has to be some really tasty spuds for me to spend calories/carbs on it instead of craft beer). Of course sometimes I go out of control and then I try burn the calories with exercise…

Do you have a fan club I can join? Well put...

Yeah I think I might be leaning towards the 13.1K - the next priority signup is july 31st, so I'll see where I'm at then and decide which one to do.

Not too far off - 5'8" 195 here (was about 250 in January). Original goal was 170, but if I hit 12% Bf I will probably stop wherever I'm at. (18-20% right now).

Haven't ran a treadmill in a long time - if I'm at the gym now and want to do cardio I use the stair machine or walk the treadmill at max incline.

I'm running a 10k race on the 4th. Then I plan to eat lots of grilled/smoked/roasted meat, veggies and fruit to fill up my normal calories. (I find that when I make sure to eat as much meat as I can first it helps with the temptation to waste my calories on potato salad and other side dishes). then I use the calories from…

Thanks for all the input - sounds like I need to slow down a bit. Since the "Conversation" pace is pretty subjective (for me at least) I'll try to stick to the heart rate.

Thanks for the tips, that training paces calculator is a great tool. I think I'm definitely still in the "time on your feet" stage, but I'll look into doing some speed work.

Better on the treadmill than on my favorite, overcrowded running/walking path.

I started running so I could tired out my siberian husky in less time (now I've actually grown to like it!). I live in Minneapolis and in the winter I am definitely the limiting factor (he can keep up with a 4 wheeler going 20mph no problem). Now that its nasty and humid I have to be careful not to over do it with him.

hah I totally owned a giant piece of turtle cake last friday... AFTER bernaise covered steak fajitas and beer (and ate tons of meat at a work putluck for lunch). I did do a long run and I think I broke even (the scale thinks so too!).

Hi - I grew up in the west burbs, went to the U of M for school, and currently live in SW minneapolis. You might see me and my husky running around lake harriet (although lately its been a bit warm for him!).

I have a stand up work station but I also have a high chair to go with it. I probably stand 50-60% of the day. Helps keep my legs from getting stiff.

26. Just started getting serious about tracking with MFP so I can keep losing (bit of a plateau with 25 pounds to go).

After a quick google that sounds right, thanks for the term. Looks like it's legit, so it looks like I'm the dumb one (just haven't seen that before).

Tricep extension?

Toning = heavy lifting while eating at a deficit/maintenance?

Yesterday I saw a guy doing what I call "full body whiplash pullups" he did them for about 20-30 seconds at a time - it hurt just seeing him out of the corner of my eye. It sort of looked like what gymnasts do on the uneven bars when they are trying to build momentum. Made me feel a little better about my measly 5 pullup…

When I make coffee at home with fresh ground whole beans and french press I drink it black (have enjoyed the taste of GOOD coffee since I discovered it on a trip to a Costa Rican coffee plantation). Especially a good light roast to maximize the caffeine At work it's a different story. We have pre-ground folgers run through…

One leg burpees, alternating, for a good quad workout. One hand (much tougher if you do a pushup). Bosu burpees - flip a bosu upside down and hold it in your hands while you do your burpee (makes the pushup use a lot more core/stabilization) and lift it over your head when you jump. The bosu starts to feel really heavy…

Today we did long jump burpees (standing long jump, burpee, repeat) in my boot camp class. I usually try to always do burpees with a pushup, unless my upper body is sore (I like pushups in general though :p). I think I'm going to go for 100 burpees when I hit 100 LBs lost, although that may be a deterrent (did 50 at 50…
