Bumpity bump bump

Wednesday Wish: That I can get some energy the morning after a workout. Thank God today is my rest day. Last night I ran a different route not knowing what it was like. It was FILLED with long hills that KILLED me. I made it through and ended up running 3.6 miles!!! I was psyched when I looked at my run tracker but didn't…

@Aug: I haven't used the MFP eercise values in a very long time since I got an HRM. I've compared the two values before and the HRM calories are usually way over what mfp says. Not sure what formula they use but its not reliable in that slightest. I think its awesome you're getting back on the horse. :drinker: Here's to ya!

Tuesday Goals: I weighed this morning and I'm right back down to 279. I'm going to refer to myself as Duncan(like the yoyo) from now on. I'm really indifferent about my weight now. I've been at this weight and want it to be lower. I'm running the way I should and I'm trying to eat the way I should. If my weight goes down…

BUMP!!

I am the proud Papa of a lefty and a righty and they are twins and mirror opposites! The only thing they have in common is the love they have for us and each other.

Monday Check In: Sorry to be a Debbie Downer this morning but al I can think to write right now is WTF! I was complaining last week that I was fighting the weight between 275 to 282. I weighed in this past Saturday at 285. I would tell you the exact words that came to mind when I saw that number but I would hate to scare…

DAMMIT! everyone always takes my lines. :laugh:

Friday Fitness: Drink a freightliner, cargo plane and water tower full of water each day for the next week because last night I went to buffalo wild wings for supper(no wings, naked tenders so no breading and dipped the sauce so not an over abundance but still enough salt to dry up a small lake) and tonight we will be…

OK if it makes you guys feel better Tina and Skinnyjeans: you're both fat like me!:laugh: And Thanks Monachris. :drinker: I needed that! Now its time to get my butt in gear and run tonight.

I couldn't think of the name of the shoes I have until I saw this post. I have the same shoes. They fit like a glove and the support is amazing!

I would absolutely recommend the c25k program. I couldn't run 30 seconds when I started and just this past Tuesday I ran for 57 minutes. I didn't end up finishing the entire c25k program but it at least got me started down the running road. As for shoes, the best thing I would recommend doing is find a running specialty…

I hate it when someone puts it in and wiggles it around without letting me know what they're doing... sorry I was talking about giving blood and not finding a vein. Gives me the willies! My wife's secret is powder scented. She likes Secret Original scent too but hates any kind of bug. I am officially the bug exterminator…

Thursday truth: I have really been letting the reigns loose to easily on the food aspect of my weight loss. It seems like I lose a few pounds and get all excited about it then fall into the trap of; "hey I can have a little bit of that" and one small handful turns into a large plate full. Before I know it I'm right back…

Nope you have to leave. As soon as your weight loss goal reaches double instead of triple digits and\or your weight lost reaches double digits you can't come back to the group. Oops! I guess I have to leave now too! No seriously, I'm happy for you! I remember when I was at that point. I hope you're not like me though and…

Dammit!! You stole my line!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! the quote!

Welcome to your first success! YOU STARTED THE JOURNEY! When I started last July(JEEZ it's really been that long?) I didn't realize how many bumps in the road I would come across BUT that's why they call it a "weight loss journey." When I started I couldn't run 30 seconds. Just yesterday I ran 3 and a half miles! I was…

Wednesday Wish: that I can shave a little time off of my 5k pace. I ran a trial 5k last night(didn't realize how far 3.1 miles was until last night). Surprisingly, I wasn't as tired as I thought I was going to be. I did find that I was a little light headed after sitting down for a while but I think that was dehydration…

So I take it you didn't just get back from a 3 hour tour?

Can't believe I haven't seen this old eighties flick with Madonna: Desperately seeking Bacon!

First concert was the Oak Ridge Boys when I was 9 the last one was the Black Sabbath reunion at Ozzfest a few years back. Talk about a change in tastes!

@AUG: Totally agree with the Gilligan thing. Although didn't he play a scarecrow in the wizard of Oz one time. No I'm sorry that's just what he looks like:laugh: . I still think the professor kept him around as a diversion to keep the Skipper occupied while he and Mary Anne went foraging for hours and mysteriously only…

If you're counting calories, which one gives you more calories to add to your week? I started doing cheat meals only and started losing weight again after doing the cheat days since this past May. I started losing weight shortly after this. I think if on your cheat days, you go all out to "cheat" and stuff your face with…

I used Weight Watchers ages ago but quit after I lost thirty pounds. I like this so much better.

I'll have to agree with the splurge day. Up til this week I was doing a splurge day though with not as many calories. This week I decided to level everything out and eat between 1500-1600 calories per day and not eat my calories back. This week I dropped weight. I also increased my water intake from 8 cups per day to 12-15…

HOLY SHMOLY! That's awesome dude! I'm working on the same thing right now and was at 340 pounds. Do you have any excess skin or anything? Just wondering.

Mine's 59 down from about 85.
