Aqua's sister called it a break for lunch.
Anyway, my legs are like jelly. Time for a sandwich.

I lost around 55lbs within 12 months in 2018/2019. Then it took another 18 months to loose another 10 pounds - that was way harder than the initial 55 lbs. In hindsight, it was ridiculously easy to loose the first 30 pounds or so.
I'd love to loose another 10lbs for cycling-related reasons (such as: moving up to a cat A rider in Zwift
), although I expect this to be exceedingly difficult. Actually, keeping my current weight is already pretty challenging and requires, among other things, 5-10h of hard bike riding a week. Maybe we can have a "keep current weight" challenge, too?

121.4 lbs. 37-31-37. Goal is to lose 10 lbs or 3 inches.
I failed already. I had coffee and doughnuts for breakfast. They had a fundraiser this morning for my kids old high school; and the only thing they had were Krispy Kreme.
Does anyone know how much cardio I'm going to have to do to make up for this failure?

My healthy eating during this challenge is going to consist of 2 fruits and 3 vegetables a day.

280 hours.
And that's the truth.
However, you are to be congratulated on your noble sacrifice in the name of community service.

Now it's time for the dog walk. 2 miles, or thereabouts.
This doesn't really count as exercise, since I do it every single bloody day anyway.

1700 calories, 142 carbs, and about 90oz of water.

Stop beating yourself up. I had two beers and I don't care.

Ok today I avoided a few extra things I normally would've eaten just because. Lots of cookies at work and at home, but only had 2 instead of the likely 4-5 I would've consumed.

So I almost forgot about this...those in TNCR 13 years ago might remember it.
In 2006 I was 232 pounds. I decided I wanted to get back in shape so I tracked my weight daily for the next 2.5 years. A combo of eating better and working out... and then a few marathons...eventually got down to 170.
Of specific note, it's NOT easy (obviously!) but if you run a few miles each day and eat somewhat reasonably (like for dinner, have a 6" club sandwich on wheat bread, baked chips, and a diet coke), the weight will melt off week after week.

It's 11:26 and I'm eating pizza and drinking beer, watching a YouTube video about how, canonically, the T-1000 was so badass that even Skynet was afraid of it, hence there never being any subsequent models.
So I wouldn't say that I'm hitting the ground running per se.
...Unlike the T-1000, which can run up to 40mph.

I wasn't stellar today, either. I had planned out an exercise program, but only managed two foot rolls with the foam roller. How I discovered that standing up straight without leaning on something has become (more) troublesome. Gonna have to do the foam rolling sitting/lying down until I get some weight off.
Did eat better than usual, though.

Don’t get discouraged, even a little progress is progress.

What I’m learning from my favorite online horse trainer - change one thing at a time. And feel good about very small successes (like no added sugar today, or eating 3 servings of vegetables)
So the first two weeks in February I just counted calories. Did not try to do extra exercise. My goal was to stay under 1600 (which I did) - and then when I fell off that wagon the last two weeks, my body was more used to eating fewer calories, so I didn’t gain anything back - I just didn’t lose. Now I am adding in extra exercise. Luckily I had to do two things yesterday that seriously got my heart rate up, so I didn’t have to do planned exercise - once was chopping ice and shoveling snow at the barn to try to keep the running water (it was almost 40 degrees out, yay!) channelled away from the horses stall and the horse trailer. The other was the two hours I spend with a respirator on at the new gallery space sweeping the leftover crud from grinding the cement floor up with an oil based sweeping compound. Blisters on my hand, but it felt good to go to bed exhausted.

I just used the Ab-wheel for the first time in about 6 months - only 10 reps to be on the safe side.
If history is anything to go by, I'm going to be in agony tomorrow.

If you got in ten reps, you're doing pretty good, I'd say!

That is so cool not to mention the great job! How tall are you?

My garmin says I burn about 2400 calories a day on average.
Using a calculator it says I should consume 3000 a day to maintain weight. If I were sedentary it ways 1900 a day.

He’s like 6’8” or something. He and Aqua are both monstrous giants in height.
