Race season is starting really soon.  I have a half marathon in 2 weeks (Vancouver First Half). My first Tri of the year is March 9th at UBC.

Every week I had "that" day or two. It's like put a carrot in from of me and I made it into carrot cake and ate it all.

February is going to be better. February is going to be better. February is going to be better. February is going to be better. February is going to be better.

I have LA marathon in March, I need to lose a few pounds for it. Otherwise, it is a 5k here and training runs till March 9th.

Going to keep up the better eating and hitting all the training. The hard part is not stuffing my face after long stuff and swims. Oh my lord, I'm HANGRY after swimming. I want to eat all the things after a swim.

Let's do it, guys! We got this.

Still Fighting!

2-1 238

Goal for February 232, running again so hopefully the pounds will start to fall off again.

Start: 185 lbs
Feb 1: 183 lbs
Feb end goal: 177 lbs
Long-term goal: 155

I'm ramping up my training for a HIM and IM (Vineman) this year. I figure I'll get more speed out of losing weight than just training to be fast. If I can lose 25-30 pounds by Vineman, I should be faster based purely on carrying less around.

My main focus is to stop binging at night for no reason other than boredom. Hopefully having a group to report to will keep me motivated.

Got a great group in here for February again, so tomorrow is the first weigh in of the month. Post em proudly and encourage each other, together we can do this!

Wow, I can't remember the last time I sweat so much. Hoping to see some numbers Friday!

1/8 - 191.4
1/16 - 191.0
1/22 - 189.0
1/29 - 191.0
1/31 - 190.2
2/5 - 187.6

Now that's what I'm talking about. That seems like a lot for one week but I have been doing extremely well the past week. Logging everything on MFP. I think one of my biggest hurdles is cutting down on the alcohol consumption. It's not just the alcohol but the food that would go along with it. If I want to get rid of these last 15lbs It's gotta go. Just need to decide where my priorities are.

I have decided to try and not to have a drink until my birthday (March 1st) which also happens to be the day of a 5 mile beer run. After that, nothing until after my first marathon (May 18th). We will see how it goes.

There are some new faces here. Is anyone else on MFP? Could always use more friends my name is jhall260 on there. Feel free to add me and let's shed these pounds together!

Also cutting out the fizzy drinks - I don't think I can cut them out 100% but going to limit them. I love my diet soda - but it's just no good for you either. This will be a challenge.

I just really, really want to get down to that <175 for the Marathon.

Feb 5 weigh in: 183

Hoping for 181 next week! Last night was the first night in a while that I didn't have to fight with myself to not snack after dinner. It was thinking about this group and our mutual goals that kept me from slipping. It's nice to have other people with common goals!

Got up this morning and lifted weights. Trainer ride this afternoon.
Looking forward to next week!

1/1/14: 151
1/8/14: 150.2
1/15/14: 149.4
1/22/14: 148.6
1/29/14: 147.6
1/31/14: 147.2
2/1/14: 147.6
2/5/14: 146.4

Still need to work on self control with the sweets. Eating a pint of coconut milk ice cream in one setting is bad for you?

Last month I was full vegan, with 3 exceptions of fish and one time with chicken while eating out. My goal was to not be "that vegan." I don't remember a time I have had so much energy (definitely was super tired all the time the last time I started IM training) and my digestive system has felt so good. This month I'll continue with the no dairy/eggs because I think that is key for me... I think I am a bit lactose intolerant. I think I'll eat fish again when out and about, but still continue no meat at home.

Let's go February!

I gave up sodas 6 years ago for lent, and kept going. Now I can't drink them because they are too sweet, you'd be surprised how giving it up changes your tastes!

Friending you on MFP, perhaps that'll make me track again!



Nice work! You'll be my inspiration for not having the after dinner snack tonight!

Saw your request on MFP - It really is awesome if you use it.

I've tried giving up sodas before, I can do it for a few days but never can cut them out completely. Not only a health benefit but I probably spend $50 bucks a month on soda (those vending machines are costly!). Think of all the workout clothes I could buy with that money in a year.
