1) How did last week go?

Nutrition wise, it wasn't fabulous but it could have been worse. I met with my nutritionist yesterday and made sure to pack a healthy lunch and snacks and she modified my meals so I'm taking in more calories during the day.
My bike was actually shortened last weekend so I was done with it pretty early. Which is good but it means next saturday will be a bit longer.

2) Nutrition goals for the week?
Work my nutritionist's modified plan.

3) Exercise goals for the week?
Do all my scheduled workouts. It's going to be a busy weekend. I have my first olympic distance triathlon on Monday. I'm ready but since I've been focusing on other races that are later in september and october, I don't feel ready.

4) Non-scale victories?
I did a 12 mile trail run that was really fun.

Give us an update on a short term and/or long term goal.

My weight loss has stalled, but I feel good about refocusing this week.
My bikes are getting longer and faster leading up to my 70.3. I feel pretty good about it. My swim is not getting faster, but I think it's getting more balanced which should hopefully lead to better results when I get in open water. My runs are not getting faster. If anything, they are slowing down with this heat. I hope the temp drops significantly in September. Hope hope hope.

Last week I fell just short of my workout and mileage goals, but it wan't too bad. Meals were decent, but cupcakes sang a siren song to me, so I feel like I gained 100 pounds!

This week (nutrition) - lean meats. Lots of veggies. Minimal booze. Rinse and repeat. I have not yet mastered this. It should not be so hard!

This week (exercise) - 4 CF, 7 miles.

Non-scale victory - In a 500m run yesterday, which was part of a WOD, I didn't let anyone pass me. I mean, I got a small (ok, big) head start out the door... but still. I didn't let anyone catch up.

Bonus - Goal update. Today is day 100 of my 100 miles in 100 days challenge. I did it! I hit 100 miles 2 weeks ago, and today I hit 119.
Weight loss goal... eh. It fizzled. I was aiming to lose 10 pounds. Stalled after losing 4. And I think it all probably came back. Oh well.

1. Last week went OK
2. I am having a lot of bloating, and I think it is from whole grain bread, so unfortunately I am going to have to give up on the whole grain bread idea. It is just too painful. Regular gluten and carbs are fine or white bread is definitely better.
3. I ran yesterday, I was hoping to do my exercise routine this morning, but my stomach was still feeling bad maybe tonight.
4. Not sure if I have any victories.

Goal- the infamous wedding is in 1.5 weeks, so just hit it hard until then so I fit into my dress (need to try it on), and I look good in pictures. Oh and my pants fitting would be nice.

1) How did last week go? Terrible. I've really been off track since vacation in early August. I haven't done any workouts and my diet has been pretty crappy. I need to get motivated so I can back into a routine.

2) Nutrition goals for the week? Stay away from the sweets!

3) Exercise goals for the week? I'm aiming for two workouts this week. I need to start somewhere.

4) Non-scale victories? My pants still fit good.


Give us an update on a short term and/or long term goal. I made it to where I want to be in terms of my weight. Ideally, I would like to lose another 5lbs just to give myself a little cushion, but I don't think it will happen very soon with my busy schedule now that school and soccer have started.

1. I did not achieve my food or workout goals for last week. I didn't fail miserably and it was birthday week that started off with me being sick so I am not going to beat myself up over it. I worked out hard on Tuesday and got another run or something in I think. It'll do.
2. Don't make stupid choices ALL weekend long while camping. I don't want to eat stupidly all weekend. I'll probably drink alcohol all weekend, but I don't plan on getting drunk.
3. 3 crossfit and 3 runs. I was planning on going this afternoon but I have to pick the kids up early and I have been so freaking hungry today that I'm afraid of what my post-run hunger might look like. I ate my normal breakfast that usually lasts me until 11:30 but had to snack at 11 before eating lunch at 12:15 and I am still hungry.
4. I bought new work pants in my current size last week that may end up being too big in a couple of months. I remember them feeling a lot tighter in the dressing room last Tuesday but that was also the day before I started my period so that probably had a lot to do with it.
Bonus: I did not reach my goal of losing 20 lbs by my birthday. I lost 16-17 lbs so I'm still pretty proud. I've managed to lose weight and not feel deprived or like it's a chore. New goal is to lose 10 lbs by the end of the year. Long term, I'd like to be down another 15 by this time next year, so 25 total.

1) How did last week go? I had my last week of summer feel sorry for myself weeklong party. Basically I ate like crap. But ran all my runs.

2) Nutrition goals for the week? Eat what I have planned.

3) Exercise goals for the week?
Monday: 3 miles
Tuesday: rest/massage
Wed: 3 miles (I skipped it)
Thursday: planned to make up my 3 in the am but skipped it. 6 in a group run tonight
Friday: make up my 3
Sat: travel
Sunday: 10

4) Non-scale victories? I did run 2 miles before a 10 mile race and PR’d my 10 miler time by 7 minutes. I ran the first 9 total as a training run and ran the last 3 fast.


Give us an update on a short term and/or long term goal.
Short: I’m 10-13 lbs over my normal weight, it’s increased since June. Lose quite a few is my short term goal.

Long term goal: First marathon Nov 10 (Richmond)
Trail 50 k in january.
(I’ve never run more than 13.1 in my life.)

1. Last week went really well good wise. I also was more active than I have been in a long time.

2. I'm painting this week on my vacation, ha, ha. Every muscle in my body hurts and the week is almost over.

3. ? ? It's been crap so far so turn it around over the weekend?

4. My neighbor across the street asked if I had been dieting or sick as I looked super skinny Tuesday afternoon which made me feel good.

Short term is get active before the rains start. Long term is to stick with the low carb which seems to be helping me feel better.
