Been crazy busy! Just wanted to check in and say hi!

About 12 weeks till my run n gun, training has to kick into high gear now. Still trying to decide what all I am doing other than strength training, think I will stick with run / walk intervals rather than any true jogging though.

Anyone juice? As in juice vegetables? I always forget how much I like carrot/celery juice.

Gotta do a tough mudder one of these days! Yall have fun!

Hey all, had a men's retreat with our church. Ate too much but also walked a ton. Hopefully it balances out. We have a guy who is a superb cook. The first night we did smoked meats, the next was a fish fry. Oh man.... Will find out Monday if or how much it set me back. Forgot my bed roll.... so I didn't get much sleep…

Hey all. Time sure does fly. Trying to decide what to do as far as diet goes. Cutting back on portions for sure and trying to eat cleaner. May try some intermittent fasting since l have been skipping meals here and there already.

Happy Saturday. Got a stationary bike, should make getting some extra exercise is much easier.

Hey all. Still around, just been a tough year. Yall may remember we lost our daughter back in the spring. We got expecting again over summer and then found out it was going to be twins. Everything was looking great, couple of really good appointments, strong heartbeats on both. Got set up to go see the high risk dr who…

In and out here. Set some personal records for lifts, but with the heat this week not sure how much I will get done. Back to logging food this week. Had some blood tests and they wanted me eating "normal" for them. Was nice to not care for a week or so, but I have to get back at it now.

Hey all. Carb night turned into a but of a carb weekend, but it was Father's day so oh well. All my carbs pretty much came at night so that's better right? Anyway so far so good.

Hey all! Still plugging away. Lost a pound during VBS, a week where I typically gain a couple so that's a huge win. Back at the weights and loving it. Hammer, I am sure you will figure things out, just stay focused and don't get frustrated!

Fish fry at church tonight. Carb night it is! Have not been real good this week in the evening but being very strict during the day seems to have worked. Have actually lost a pound and maybe more. Also, apparently pull ups are a perishable ability lol. Stopped doing them along with everything else when we started having…

Heron, the lemon works! Thanks! Cheated tonight but was very strict all day, and had a fairly strenuous day. Hopefully it balances out..

Thanks Heron, will definitely try that. Will need to this week! I remember somewhere reading about a mix of lemon and or lime juice with himalayan or other colored salt and water as a booster of sorts to take in the morning. May have to do some reading.

Well, as a point of clarification I drink over a gallon of water a day, didn't realize it until I started tracking it (Thanks Carol!) Usually have one cup of coffee each morning, and tea, hot or cold (love me some Earl Grey) only on once or twice a week. Never really liked diet soda, would rather have a real soda on a…

Hey all, doing well on the water, have a quick question. Not big on energy drinks (except coffee) but on rare occasion I drink one. Tried the monster ultra zero, the one in the white can, it's very good. Made with sucralose which is Splenda I think. Just curious if yall have much experience with them and how they affect…

Easily getting over 120 ounces so far. Does light sabre fighting with the kids in the front room followed by a wrestling session count as cardio? MFP doesn't have a spot for it... lol. When your youngest (2 year old girl, youngest of six) charges into the fray with her purple light sabre in hand you know you are in for a…

Did over 120 ounces of water yesterday. Question for those who have done Carb Nite. Did you pay much attention to calories? I have been trying to stay under about 1500 and am starting to wonder if I should increase that some. Some days it's easy to be under, other days I get hungry later in the day.

Over a gallon of water today. Not sure what my "goal" should be. Let's call it 100 ounces. I work outdoors so I drink a lot, and other than a cup of coffee it's pretty much all water.

I hate maple trees! I am maintenance supervisor of a community and we spend more money on those things than any other tree. Doing well here, except shin splints are making a re appearance. Bought a new pair of hiking boots, Merrell's, hopefully it dries up so I can break them in. Can't wait to hit some trails if we are…

Sounds great!

Tough mudder sounds like a blast! I can't wait for my next run n gun. It's crazy how much weight you can put on in 3 weeks of not caring.... oh well.

Back to normal here hopefully. Still way to many desserts in my house but I am honestly tired of sweets and ready to eat clean. Amazing how you notice more problems when you have eaten clean, and then go for a few weeks with no thought to what you are eating. Problems I had forgotten about show back up. Oh well nothing to…

Well Saturday I ended up on a boat in the middle of a lake and with no snacks I could eat.... you can guess how this story ends.... I at some crap I shouldn't have and feel like you would expect me to after. So yeah... Made worse on Sunday since I had already messed up I had a bagel for breakfast and another as a snack at…

All is well here so far. The hardest part is not tasting things that are being cooked around me. Tonight the wife made goulash and it smelled great. Usually I would have a bite or two and it's hard to kick that habit. So far so good though!

Thanks! she is doing a little better as long as she stays off her feet. The no dairy is the hardest part, I put cheese on everything.....

My wife has been having a very rough week. She was given some meds for a back issue and that caused some pre term labor issues, that basically put her on bed rest. So last night I ordered a pizza for dinner. I don't know if yall have a papa john's near yall but it is incredibly good pizza..... But all I ate was a couple of…

the potato things was great. To me that feels like a "cheat" because I have been avoiding them for months! I will probably keep them to a bare minimum but need to read up on sweet potatoes vs red vs white. I have never really cooked sweet potatoes, but I love them so really looking forward to trying some things with them,…
