The couch potato get fit thread

[Statler]

So for those who struggle with their own motivation and are on the end of the spectrum of needing to change springs out on the bike...


Anyone else slide backwards a little over the holidays?

Back to October size yet?

What's the 2010 plan?  any goals?

Little tiny changes can add up...parking on top floor of garage at work and taking stairs daily..two pieces of pizza instead of five. 

So let's have at it and drop a couple thousand pounds off the DMF membership...

Two slices of pizza...that's just crazy talk. 

[Statler]

ok ok...two slices per beer then.

[Buckethead]

Ugh.

I ate and drank my way through Portland and Boston over the last week and a half and haven't run since before Christmas. Not quite back to summer size, but softer than I want to be.

Goal for right now is to be running 15 miles per week before St. Patty's Day. Probably gonna try to give up soda, too.

[angler]

I haven't bothered to get on a scale after 10 days of drinking and eating with only a few runs scattered in there.  I had dropped ten pounds before the holidays, so hopefully it didn't all come back.

[Statler]

I am stunned by how easy and how FAST pounds of softness can come on.  

[KnightofNi]

since the beginning of dec i have put on around 10 lbs.

i cna't really start running again for another month or 2.

and i'll be damned if i'm going to eat less   

ok ok...two slices per beer then.

so if i down 4 beers in a sitting then i get 8 slices...depending on the pizza, that's the whole thing!

[Popeye the Sailor]

I've been lame since the holidays. Just...absolutely slacking in every way possible.



Now for some soda.

Can't you feel the weight burning right off?

[El Matador]

I was down to 183 from 205 at the beginning of the holidays. The scale today read 188.8. My ass needs to go to the gym.

[somegirl]

Pregnancy has definitely made it tougher to keep working out...my stamina and energy levels are way down.

I still get 4 miles of hilly walking and/or jogging with the dogs most days though...thanks Watson and Grover!

I've been trying to do more than that when I can (bicycling, weights, karate) but it's not been happening as much as I'd like.

I'm hoping I get some more energy back 2nd trimester.

What's the 2010 plan?  any goals?

i'm currently doing yoga 4-6 days a week and i'm on week two of the couch-to-5k running plan.

i haven't really set a weight goal, but i want to get back to running 4.5mi daily (5 days a week). everything else seemed to fall into place when i was doing that.

[Slide Panda]

Gotta (try) to get fit for a 5k in march... Problem's more that I popped my ACL this summer... oopsie. BTW Statler, that's the Charm City Shamrock 5k - want to come play?


Weight goals? Hmm for me they are always upside down.. I gain weight when I exercise...

[Statler]

If by come play you mean drink like a fish I'm in.   


But yeah....I'll run if you're coming up for it.  Should crack 25 minutes then.
