I know I should be on next weeks thread. But if anybody checks in here I wanted to say that I was reading… But it's been crazy when I was in Austin. Kim, you look fabulous when I saw you… I'm not surprised you're having such success. Heron: Arturo tell me you said very nice things about me. That I look to fit, I think? I…

I will send you my cell phone number Arturo. Today is Wednesday, and my life is going to be so darn crazy until we start driving toSan Antonio on Friday after work. I can't wait to spend some time with Caroline.. It's always just 20 minutes hair 30 minutes there or a 4 mi walk to Starbucks if we're lucky. It will be very…

Safe travels John! No doubt Jen…We are all bracing ourselves down here in Texas for his arrival. ;) Kelly and Mark: I'm so stoked about your scale challenge success! I was off it for a month for a whole 30 and I'm a better person for it. I have all kinds of tape measures, I think that's a good way to go. But I might force…

Hurray! Can't wait to hang out with you guys at the barbecue! Arturo: I sent this to you in an email: I sure hope you don't get stuck in Houston, we are not even in our home right now. we've moved into my mom's guestroom while they tile our bedroom floors. If you find a $30 air B&B room and need a ride over and back to…

GRITTY GODDESS was a blast! If you are not signed up for an obstacle run this year, why the heck not??

I am SO looking forward to Paleo Fx and meeting you guys! Super excited just to get a hug if we are all on different tracks! Caroline and I only have Expo tix for Saturday so we are attending a talk in San Antonio Friday night by Dr. Kaayla Daniel (who is also presenting at PFx. Arturo, I sent you info about it. Might be…

I'm so excited to get to meet all of you!! Arturo, Caroline and I are also going to wander exibit hall! Have you already gotten your tickets for that. I can get you a one-day pass for exibit hall if that helps. We will be in very late Friday night (really in San Antonio Friday night) so we will be all over exibit hall…

Heron - I love all your baking but I would have eaten all the pastry puffs before the friend could take any. Ha! I applaud your efforts to find ways to make things GF. With your baking knowledge, I bet you'll come up with the best version. I'm really inspired by how flexible folks are with their "way of eating." I guess…

I'm looking forward to when I can use this. I like these guys. I still have to start the primal blueprint John. Right now I'm just trying not to stress over all the different things that I have to read and summarize and write about. None of them have to do with diet and exercise.:( But someday I will have time to read…

Kelly: I don't know of any exercises that reduce a particular area. My understanding that fat loss works as an overall thing and there are certain strength training exercises that will build in town certain areas to make a shift in body appearance. So while we're whittling away our fat, we should be toning up our shoulders…

Heron, are you and Arturo coming to Vegas??

Jealous of your Spring Break Kim!! Jen, the lack of motivation had to hit sometime. We were beginning to wonder if you were human. It is nice to know you're just like the rest of us. I love it here too... motivation is a huge issue for me and there is no better place to borrow some. ;) Can anyone else do Tough Mudder…

That sound like such a treat!!

Also- we are doing Tough Mufder Chicago on May 9... Who's in???

Wow I have missed you guys! Stacy & Rae... Been too long! I know it's hard to get back in the swing of things but stick around. My days work out so much better when I do. I just wanted to catch up on everyone and say Happy Easter!.

Jen, welcome to my world! I remember we talked about this earlier this year. Do you remember we were talking about how people make great progress in the beginning and then after a couple of months a lot of people stop. Something ends up happening to many of us. Either we hit a plateau and get discouraged because things…

Way to go Kevin! It must be hard to kick a habit like that. You are doing great! Well... I'm out for now. I fell off the Whole30 Friday night. Hosting Caroline's family & we were out of town at out Galveston condo. I used that excuse to have wine & non-whole 30 foods. I'm happy to have shared the spirits with them but the…

John: what is the 20 | 30 | 50 Sec Hold? The L Oblique Bridge?

The no dairy is killing me too. Still no sucralose either. Sigh Waaaay to much almond butter & nuts. I'm very hormonal lately so all bets are off. But I'm hanging in there.

So today was day one of another whole30 challenge for me. I wasn't going to do this one but I'm in a very dark place with food and activity right now. Wish me luck. I miss my sucralose but after just one day I'm already feeling better. Big thank you again to TJ, Kevin and Hammer..it's always easier to get to the first week…

Oh Kim! All your mountain bike talk has me so jealous. It used to be my absolute favorite sport. I guess it still is I just haven't done it in so very long. Can't seem to fit in the training without big sacrifice to them kids & the graduate work so I've shifted to these obstacle runs twice a year. The mud runs are crazy…

Kim: I can't get off work Friday either. So I was gonna try to buy a one-day ticket. I don't know if they even sell such a thing. If they don't, then I'm only going to be in the expo floor. There are a few sessions that happened there, but it's way less expensive than buying that ticket. I'm going to look into what these…

Day one. Thank goodness we are doing this. I am in such a dark place with food and activity. Kevin, email me at Carolsalva1@gmail.com I will forward emails but I'm not able to do it this second. When I get your email it will remind me and I'll have the information to start forwarding them to you. We got this!

Heron! Those guys should be ashamed! But I bet all 40 of those people were happy that you had control of the food. Did you get any pictures of the event? John, I'm sorry to report that I didn't do much recon work. The sad truth is that I was kind of locked away in my hotel room a lot of the time doing my masters work. Brad…

Awesomeness!! (Jen you need to just hush your mouth over there!!) Kevin that's pretty cool that you already started. And you're going to be so ahead of the game. Are you getting the emails? I have them all… How unethical is it of me to forward them to you? You can't sign up with them after you've started because they want…

I'm going to do a partial Whole30 I know I'm missing the point completely, but I'm going to do everything except 1/64 tsp of Sucralose when I have coffee. I'll give up all dairy, processed foods, legumes, grains, etc. But I learned with the first whole30 that I'm just not ready to give up the coffee the way I like it. And…

I'm totally behind in our training schedule. I did some light resistance training today though. And I'm going to get with the program ASAP. thanks for doing this John!

I'm in!! I'm late but I'm in. Going to weigh tomorrow morning & do pics. Sigh... I haven't weighed since before Mexico & Vegas. Clothes are snug... Won't be pretty. Lets do this!!!!

Daylight effing savings Heron... Ha! Your food sounds amazing. Kevin, I'm trying to get back on track myself. 4 days in Mexico + 5 days in Vegas = my dang pants don't fit... Again!! not going near a scale. I must go see if anyone started the no-scale challenge! Jen & Kim: keep veggin out! Just bought some Brussel sprouts &…

Hey - do we have a Team Captain for Fat2Fit HQ when we register? Is that you Kim? BAD JEN! LOL... just kidding, if I know you, you will totally hit them hard this weekend. All the farmer's market talk has me looking for one online in my area. I'm running out of veggies in my normal routine. Keep vegging out guys!!
