sbgraves--I heard about dentist associations who "buy" leftover halloween candy from kids (or adults, too, haha) and ship it overseas to the troops. I think that is FANTASTIC! Unfortunately, I live in too small of a town and we don't have that program here. As you may have seen on my profile, my grandpa had a massive heart…

To date: Swim: 0 Mi Bike: 8 Mi Run: 13.5 Mi Considering my first two-a-day since I stopped swimming for tomorrow....Need to strength train my legs but I really need to swim too! We'll see how it goes. Today officially started my half-marathon training with a 3.5 mile hills run. I just can't get my head around running ten…

Woohoo Hoosiermamma! You are losing weight rather quickly, good work! How are you upping your calories? Like 100 extra for a few days or all at once? Welcome to sbgraves! You can definitely lose 5 lbs this month & wow your husband! fischer--thanks for all the quotes, you're awesome. Hope your Dr. appt went well. Great job…

Working on my 2012 schedule, where I will actually run my first half-marathon...my 2011 schedule remaining is in my signature.

I started tri's this year and did 2 sprints. Practice swimming in the body of water you are competing in. I cannot stress enough how brutal open water is compared to a pool. If you practice in a pool, I advise swimming twice the distance of your race to get the feel of how tired you will be. Also, everyone will tell you to…

I use the dessert size plates at buffet style parties so I can only fill that small plate instead of the huge plates most people are using. I won't put food on a plate that has already had food on it and going back for a second plate makes me feel bad enough that I don't do it.

I love them! At this time of year in my small town, we don't have a ton of good fresh veggies and fruits, and they are so easy to make...have them several times per week!

Oh wow. Thanks, I probably would have done the same thing!

Turkey Day 10K then Grandparents for dinner. I HATE all Thanksgiving food except for vegetables but even those seem to always be cooked differently and have other things mixed in, so I starve after my race :grumble:

I like to just add seasoning salt, like Season All.

Welcome to missencore & ashlee!! fischer--like I already said on your news feed, proud of you for starting JM 30DS! It doesn't matter that it's not the 1st of the month, you will just look GREAT in time for Christmas parties if you keep it up now!! Are any of you on Pinterest? It's an online site where you "pin" things to…

Can I still join? Just did my first 10K today and I'm doing my first half marathon in March.

You are right, Kylakesgal, it will be slow during the last 10 lbs but we WILL get there! Don't forget to change your clocks today :) I did my 10K today and it was great! My goal time was 1:08. They had the 1st mile mismarked, when I passed the mile 1 sign, I was at 10:43 which was way too slow for the first mile if I was…

start weight: 137 9/14 - 136.5 (-) 9/21 - 137.0 (+) 9/28 - 136.5 (-) 10/5 - 136.5 10/12 - 136.5 10/19 - 135.5 (-) 10/26 - 135.5 11/2 - 135.5 11/9 - 11/16 - 11/23 - goal weight: 132.5 I really think I'm at 135.0 but just haven't weighed at a good time in relation to when I have eaten and when I need to use the bathroom,…

Jason--I was expecting a much better football game from LSU v Bama! Arkansas v South Carolina and OSU v KS State have both been more excited. (Right now it's 6-3 Bama as I'm typing this) I did my first 10K today and it was great. I'm already so sore on my legs though, so tomorrow workout will be a little upper body…

No matter what your pace, you are still lapping everyone on the couch.

Crux-that would be an awesome way to celebrate that milestone! Trijoe-I never realized that about entering the data to calculate calories but that is rather odd. Trail running burns a TON of cals! To date: Swim: 0 Mi Bike: 8 Mi Run: 10 Mi

I'll try randomabs.com tonight. I keep trying to find something besides Ab Ripper X that leaves me feeling the burn in my abs, but that ridiculously hard workout is so far the only one that makes 15 min of abs worthwhile (in the way it feels, I know something is better than nothing but still)

I'm in. Today is a rest day so no miles. This sounds so fun...the biking will be super hard for me though--I'll try!!

And I hope the knee is good to go on Thursday, Zaida!

10/30: 2 miles 10/31: 4.5 miles 80.8 miles total for the month. You guys are awesome, nice work in October!!!

We have never had a fight about money and have all joint accounts, except for our IRA's obviously. On that note, we both put in the same amount to our IRA's but the funds in my IRA aren't the same as the funds in his IRA...right now his is doing better and I'm jealous (playfully) :noway: since I'm the main one who…

I would do some type of healthy breakfast pizza, I've seen some recipes for them on eatingwell.com I think. Fruit salad usually goes over well, just sliced fruit with whipped cream stirred in a big bowl. I personally prefer the dip/dressing on the side so I can choose to just eat the fruit, but I'm slightly picky. A…

I usually do it for my legs, lol. My high school swim team used to do no shave November together. Probably not doing it this year though.

I'm no huge help here because I will openly admit my addiction to caffeine and carbonation...for me, it's my one indulgence and I'm just being realistic for myself when I say I'm not going to be perfect. I let myself drink the Diet Cokes and Pepsi Max freely, but when I want chocolate, or ice cream, etc. it's easy to say…

I just now found this group but I'd love to join for November!

Definitely the middle one!

10/28: 5.8 miles running 10/29: 2 miles walking 7.8 miles Total for October: 74.3 miles. We are doing great guys! Make the last few days strong!

I'm not dressing up for Halloween but I am taking my daughter to stuff 3 nights in a row beginning tonight. She is Rapunzel, wig and all. Hoping they all give out the cheap crappy candy because I only eat the good chocolate, lol. At least I'll be walking a lot. Hoosier--I agree with fischer, one night won't kill your…

I have always hated BMI! As an athlete in high school, my parents were told I was overweight and I may be near obese...I wore a size ZERO at the time and an elite swimmer. While I built a ton of fat on top of my muscles the first two years of college, I know now that as a triathlete, I have more muscle than most people my…
