I have never done a 10K before, but have done a few 5Ks. Last year at the 15K I am doing this year I did my very 1st 5K (it's either a 15 or 5K). I told myself that in 2012 I would do the 15K and I am not backing down. I have never run really over a 5K before in my life. i did a 4.2 miler on a treadmill one time but it was…

This is an AMAZING story! You deserve it all and I am totally stealing that credit card idea. I just need to think of the perfect logo first. :) Keep up the hard work and congrats!!!

WOW I really have been away for a while. I'm not sure if I can swim tonight but tomorrow I can and plan on getting in for a little bit. Thanks for posting new challenges Em I will definitely try to work 1 or 2 of them into the work out. As for now September is over and was a month a struggled through. I am hoping to make…

Ladies this has been a HARD month for me! The next 3 with work with going to be insane! November I am out of town for over 2/3's of it. October I have A LOT going on as well and this month I have stressed myself trying to get the exercises in or not doing them and being bad so I don't want to put that upon myself. I am…

Seems like a lot of us on the team are struggling lately. I know I have been, no questions asked! this has been the roughest month this year for me hands down. I haven't gotten very much exercise in but what I have I can honestly say it's becaue of MFP and this team. I also have been bad about tracking. I got back on today…

Well I am going to try to go swim after work today. I have a sinus headache and as funny as it may seem, I am hoping the water will help. I know when I use to swim the pressure would hurt at first but it would make everything come out and by the end I would feel better. I don't have time for a long work out so I wrote up a…

Hello everyone! I have been MIA for the past 2 weeks but for a good reason as many of you know. My boyfriend left Friday afternoon for good. It has been a sad weekend but I know we will be okay and why I am able to smile and enjoy my lonesome weekend. Anyway, tomorrow I plan on getting back into the water for the first…

So this week it looks like the swimming may not happen - maybe on the weekend. My boyfriend decided to stay through Friday morning and head up the Charlotte for good then. We got all his stuff there this weekend, and he came back with me yesterday. Again, spending time with him will definitely win over swimming! That means…

OKay ladies it's going to be a rough month for me. This week I am headed back to Charlotee to move my boyfriend into his new apartment. I live in Jacksonville, FL. It's for a GREAT job and future wise is the very best decision it just means he is leaving and that makes me really sad! I'm going to get lonely and I know that…

I definitely do and I definitely dont. I eat to make sure that I am satisfyed and full and that's it. Sometimes all it takes is my 1200 calories that I am allowed, and sometimes I need some extra ones. Now it's more common that i don't and I have recently, well the entire month of august really plateaued. I only lost 3lbs…

How do I get the Google Doc?

So this week I don't think I will get in a swim. I was thinking about swimming afterwork today but the more I think about it, my boyfriend is moving to Charlotte for good next week; we are moving him in this weekend and then he will come back for a day or 2 until he heads up for good. To me spending time with him just…

Emily I like the challenge sets! I'm gonna swim Tuesday and either Wednesday or Thursday but I think I will only be able to get in 2 this week. I have A LOT going on and I'm headed back to Charlotte this weekend after work on Friday.

Glad everyone is having a great week and doing well in the pool! I did my practice I posted yesterday. Only change was I did the 10x50s with the no breathing on a faster interval as 1:30 was too slow. I did the first 6 on 1:10 and the last 4 on 1:00. I also alternated free/fly on the no breathing part (just for you Emily)…

Good morning everyone! I wasn't able to swim yesterday getting in my 2nd challenge however today I am. Here's the story why: I get to the pool and realize I don't have a suit. I knew that on Monday I swam and I thought I put it on my bad on teh outside to dry - I guess not. I checked with the front desk and nothing,…

Hey guys I am staying on track with everything this week. However now I am now going out of town Friday after work returning late late Sunday. I don't know if I am going to be able to get in 1 of the days this weekend. I am really nervous about it but going to try hard to make it happen. I already have clothes set aside to…

So I did my practice I wrote for Monday yesterday. It was great 2750! I did the 16x25s fly and held them on 28 seconds. They were actually not too bad on that interval which shocked me. I thought that would be hard, especially as I got near the end. Definitely might have to do those again in week or 2 and drop the interval…

I actually wasn't able to swim yesterday after work, however, today I am. I will be doing the set that I posted yesterday above. I'll let ya'll know how the 16x25s fly go. I'm definitely nervous because the 8 that I did straight last week were BRUTAL! :)

This is going to be my practice today: (Total 2,750 yards) Warm-up: 1x300 free swim 1x200 kick 1x200 IM drill 1x200 pull Main Set - 2x Thru: 1x100 IM @ 1:40 4x25 Fly @ 0:30 2x 50 Back @ 0.50 1x100 Breast @ 1:55 1x200 Free Pull @ 3:00 50 easy Challenge Set: 16x25 Fly swim @0:30 or 0:25 - depends on how I feel for interval,…

I didn't lose anything this week which I was really bummed about, but I did stay exactly the same. I have definitely hit a plateau - boo! I think I am training too hard in terms of at cardiovascular level instead of at fat burning levels. This last week I need to rethink some things and hopefully this week I will see…

Definitely beer about 95% of the time. I love ice cream but I have to be in the mood and maybe once a month I get a big craving for it. I am however falling in love with Frozen Yogurt and have been going for that lately.

YES! You are using ALL your muscles when you are swimming! there are times I think I should add some calories too it because I know I burned a lot. The thing that throws people is they don't see or feel themselves sweating so they don't think they are working out as much. You are I promis if not harder. Push yourself too…

YAY everyone we made it to 20,000 pledged crunches! I knew we could do it! I am at 500 so far this week. I figure it I do 250 each day the rest of the week I am golden! :) I did 300 last night and was dead afterwards. Granted it was after a 45 minute run and a 10 minute circuit of the daily challenge exercises, but wow my…

THANKS! It's just hard to get your mind in a place were you aren't like "That SUCKED!" haha! I was trying soooooo hard on those and to think that was a time I could do with trying any day of the week at practice just blows my mind. I need to figure out how to wrap my mind around that I am no longer a "swimmer" and someone…

i did my 4x100s free yesterday. I did them on 1:30 and held 1:16s on all 4. Talk about being out of breath at the end. I also use to be a 200 butterflier so I did 8x25s butterfly swim on 30 afterwards. How in the world did I use to do that straight through?! My heart was beating out of my chest when I was through with all…

Regardless of numbers let's hit 20,000 crunches! I'll up mine to 1,500 to help out. I'll figure out how to get them all done. :) **I changed it above!

Okay I count 13 names on this list - don't we have 19 people on our team? That's 6 people unaccounted for and I think we can hit 20,000 crunches at least as a team this week if we can get their support!!!!

Em I can do 4x100s tonight. These thigns I can do, i just can't do the yardage yet. Most likely I will do them on 1:30 and see what i can hold. :)

YAY I am exciteout September and that I already have a team! My boyfriend is moving 5.5 hours away in Sept so it is going to be a hard month for me. Especially since I will be losing my swimming buddy which he has been a great help and motivator so far. I will definitely need a group of people to support me and keep me on…
