Monday Check-in: I definitely cheated this weekend!! A going away Vietnamese lunch for a coworker on friday, nice dinner out on with my BF on Friday night (calamari, brick oven pizza, creme brule, and wine!!) plus a quick lunch of fish tacos and fries after shopping on Saturday meant that I was well over my calorie goals.…

I usually buy shirts in a size large/x-large. Yesterday I tried on a medium since there where no larges left on the rack and it fit perfectly!

I ran a full 5K this morning! Not an impressive time but i made it! :)

Tuesday Goals (Update): As of yesterday I have officially completed the C25K program!!! Although my pace is not fast enough to get the full 5K within 30 minutes (yet), I am actually able to run for 30 minutes straight without issue :smiley: I am going to continue on with the C210K trainer (6 more weeks should get me to 10K…

@astronaught and @khenik6064 - Amazing work, hang in there!! I go for W8 D3 tonight to cap it off. Planning on continuing for C210K

I've been following the C25K program for the last couple of months now. As I've been going through the program I've been hesitant to increase the speed on the treadmill, thinking that if I increase the speed then I won't be able to make it through the increase in running time from day to day without having to take a break…

I brought my own lunch today even though we had a lunch and learn with free pizza. As tempting as adding a slice of pizza to my lunch was, I resisted and made it through without taking a bite!

Stumbled across this today and found it to be a funny way to compare your successes. Apparently I have lost the equivalent of a dolphin's brain :) http://ilostwhat.com/

I managed to convince myself to go for a run last night despite it being close to zero degrees, foggy and raining. I made it just shy of 5K. Also came across a group of "professional" runners who were decked out in their fancy gear, headlamps, etc. Although I was no where near able to keep up with them, the fact that I was…

I ran yesterday... not once, but twice. Why? Because I felt like it! Clearly something has changed and I like it :)

Monday Check-in: I definitely had a cheat day last night with some pizza and wine to accompany the Oscars! But, I am finally starting to see a definitive downward trend in my weight again (even this morning despite last night!) which is motivating. My abs are burning still from my workout on Saturday too! I struggle with…

Fitness Friday - I've made the decision that I am going to continue my C25K training (currently on Week 6 of 8) for the additional 6 weeks to aim for the 10K mark. If I stick to the training as it is planned that would put me at the 10K mark by the end of April. Soooo... since I'll have a 5 week buffer, I've also decided…

I made it through C25K week 5 day 3 (20 mins straight running)!

Checking in - I have definitely strayed where my eating was concerned again this past long weekend. Need to get back at it this week to really push myself - a couple of upcoming DietBet weigh ins are good motivation! On a positive note, I ran 20 minutes straight today (C25K week 5 day 3) and it felt amazing! My hand is…

Don't know if the mirror at the gym was playing tricks or not but I actually liked what I saw for the first time in a long time

@pneschich - So glad to hear that your surgery went well! Wishing you a speedy recovery. As far as water goes, I try and get in 8-10 cups of either clear water, black tea, or black coffee a day. I usually keep a water bottle (~2 cups) at my desk and aim to drink one bottle before lunch, one with lunch, and one after lunch.…

@Damensha - I'm glad to hear that you are getting back to a better place! :) @debbieinva - You've come to a great place! There is a lot to learn from the fantastic people here. Just making the decision to start again is the most important part so you're off to a great start! Fitness Friday - I've had a great (and sore)…

Welcome to all the new folks joining :) I haven't been active on here this past week and no good excuse for it either! I haven't seen much movement in my weight this past week but am continuing to see improvements with my strength and changing body shape (bye bye inches!) which has kept me feeling positive. I went to my…

I went to Starbucks and only got a coffee (black) even though I really wanted to carb load on all the delicious goodness behind the bakery case :)

Also I had quiet a surprise when I took new measurements yesterday and found that in only about 10 days I have dropped 2.5 inches off of my belly and waist plus an inch off of both my hips and biceps :D definitely feeling motivated by those numbers!!
-
@birgitkwood - I have day planner reserved just for keeping track of my workouts, measurements, weigh ins and goals. I find that this works really well for me. I like being able to grab it to take to the gym and track my weights on different machines too. I can quickly mark down as I go along which machines I can increase…

I lost 2.5 inches off my belly and waist and an inch off of both my biceps and hips over the course of only 2 week :)

Usually walking my dog through our neighbourhood we will be passed by 3-4 buses bringing home the downtown office crowds. Last night we had one bus nipping at our heels but managed to keep ahead of it and not a single one passed us by. Albeit it is very likely that the bus schedules were just off ... buuuut I'd like to…

Also ... I just noticed that my Fitbit registered almost 75,000 calories burned in the month of January!! :D
