Wow! I too am going cold Turkey on the Sugur for at least 21 days. I made the mistake of visiting a British Candy store i know whe i waas in Delaware. English candy is the BEST...plus i grow up on it. Big Mistake. I worked my butt off in the gym last week and only missed Christmas day and i just mangaged to lose 1/2 to 1 pound and thats all. Better than a gain but i ate sooo much crap. I bet if i hadnt i would of lost 5 pounds. That 150 things looks great. I wonder if they have something like that around here or in MI i could get to. Y is having an Indoor triathlon i might sign up for in feb. You guys are very insperational!

Well im back...2.5mile run..5mile bike....and 1/2 mile swim. I looked in at the spin class still waaaaaaaaaay too scary looking. O great the Cat is drinking my tea. Im off work today and i still got up at 4am to go exercise and im seriously considering going back later....what the heck is wrong with me???????????? Well .... i didnt eat to good between Christmas and New years :/! Way too much candy...imdetoxing from candy today. Thankfully with all the exercise i managed to lose 1/2 a pound or pretty much maintain the same weight in that week. Gosh i was bad. I went to a British candy store i know and English candy is THE best in the whole world. Why did i do it!

Hey you know im always in! Off to the Gym this morning to get in a 30min run and some bikeing and swimming hopefully. i agree totally with JM about all the newbies there. Stef....Yeah Baltimore is nice! Imi home this week and next and then off to Harrisburg Pa and Philidelphia ... Check in later...

4 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!oh gosh! dont do that!!!! Seroiusly....no matter how fit you are 4 weeks is gona kill you. The point is to build u your muscles and joints to get you up to running 5k. I was SUPER crazy when i went through it but you WILL hurt yourself if you dont follow it. My advice would be on the rest days to do other exercisining like swimming or weight trainning. Your joints need to build up strength or your really going to hurt yourself.

ok meant to read 40mins on the bike and 40mins swimming. told ya i was beat.

Ok Steff...Thanks for starting the thread!!!!! I dont know which one to go to now but ill try and stick with this one. Love hearing about all that home gym crazyness! Well i was in Delaware all last week but i somehow managed to work out everyday except Christmas day. Even today! i Stayed up till midnight and then had to get up at 4am to get my ass to Baltimore to catch a flight back...soooooooooooooo..i get back to house at noon and i know the YMCA closes at 2pm today so i drop my bags and rush right over there. 40 mins on the bike and 40 mins cycling. I am sooooooooooooo sleepy now. Guess thats normal. Thanks heavens i had a vaction day left over that im using tomorrow! The people....WELCOME ! im Jon...I post crazy pictures here from time to time so watch out.

Karen im really excited for you! If i stay up ill think of you guys as the ball drops:)!

Hey Jm!!!!!!Happy New Year. Just watched a tv thing about Boston. You guys should be pretty happy. The Big Dig is opening, Patriots cant stop winning, Red Sox winning and even the Celtics? are doing well? You should be on top of the world! All of you guys HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Luluc Yes there is a c25K podcast but i cant remember the link. It only works on Ipods not MP3 players. I will try and remember. If not pls someone else put the link up. Karen.......GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Your SUPER Brave!!!!!!!!!!! I have only got up tp about 2.5miles so far and that is pretty much my limit right now. Pleeeeeeeeeeaaassssssssseeeeeeeee let me know how it goes. I got a 8am flight out of here back home tomorrow which means i got to get up at 4.30am. Stay up till midnight?????? i dunno.

wow Miss Tracey! You seem to know alot about running! Welcome. I think we could all learn from you. i have been thinking about running shoes alot. I am TOTALY too embrassed to go to a store as i ve been told the best way is to go to a running store and have them fit you for running shoes. i do run 30mins every other day right now and the fact im still up in the 300's i would think they would look at me like im crazy! On the other hand i know these crappy $30 piece of crap sneakers are not doing me any good also. Do you have any advice?

nice work B! this a huge loss!!!!!!!!!!

yeah im excited! i want to see you results!

ahh ha. yeah you gotta give it up JM. I have a hard time with those fancy cappcinos ...oh my there good. Prolly the same as drinking a large milkshake from McDonalds though!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Hows that fill working for ya b?

shhhhhhh i was sleeping...............zzzzzzzzz.......... Well i did a whole 4 miles this morning (wow) before i could not feel my junk anymore. (and i do like to feel my junk) but i did run and swim at least.

Isnt there a morning coffee protien flavor shake?

im really on the fense with supplements. They are a heck of a lot of money. I mean i fully believe you need protein for you muscles to rebuild as there pretty much made of protein. I never found much advantages of supplements. I tried it both ways and could see no difference. I took in alot of creatine that surposed to make a big diff but i didnt see much diff when i wasnt taking it. Again im not saying they work or dont work i am just really on the fence about it...(gosh this fence hurts)

DiBaby! Your back! Christmas is tough. If i hve just maintained this week i will be happy with that.

i dont see why it wouldnt.! You go wombat!!!!!!!!!!!!

way to go wombat!!!! glad you did it!!! Today i did 30min run. i calculated the energy. and it takes 700 calories to do it at my weight....700!

Stef!!!!!!!! 32 miles!!!!!!!!! oh gosh! your amazing! yeah ive found portable dvds for 70 bucks for a 7 or 8 inch online before. I bet your legs were exploding. Today i ran 2.5 miles...cycled 4 miles (still getting used to not be able to feel my junk after 20mins). swam for 25mins. Totaled it all up and it came to about 1400 calories! dang! i would of stayed longer but time permits. I can easily do 1.5hrs in the gym now but i want to do more just dont have the time as i have to be at work. I love to lift weights in my break periods too. Like ill ride 20 mins and then lift weights 20 mins and then ride another 20 mins. jess.....hope your ok we havnt heard from ya...i know your busy with things though. Jm....yeah the plastic fasinates me too!

yeah the last 3 days have been a candy party! i hate it! it makes me feel like crap too. i told myself today the party is OVER! Go to the doc and sing 'fill me up buttercup' to him...that should suitably freak him out.

i always wanted to swallow a mentos whole and drink diet coke to see what happens. I dont think my doc will approve it.

Thanks guys W will be fine. Wow good points there! Ill pm you soon! I tried going 20 on reg exercise bike then 20 on the recumbent bike and then another 20 on reg the other day and that worked out ok. I dont want to ride a recumbient bike outside thats why i dont want to get to used to it but it does change things up. The padded shorts are an awesome idea...i didnt even think about that....doh. I never thought i wider saddle would be worse too! Thanks. Stef is AWESOME! W.

Stef...another good one is say do shoulder pushes all the way up until you fail 15-20 maybe ...and then do just half way up untill you fail For arms 21's an are awesome. If u dont know what these are let me know.
