5.71 miles. didnt "feel like" biking, so theres about a mile missing that should be there but I took the bus half way home

only hit 1800 calories today and I feel bad about it =(

So, my weight has been holding steady for months, haven't gained any... at least, not more than a pound or 2, but I'm not taking any more off. Gonna have to redouble my efforts, see what I can do.

34+miles last week

6.6miles today.

My workout buddies ditched me, but I still went to the gym. 30 minutes on the elliptical, 330 calories burned, and I got to watch most of an episode of NCIS that I hadn't seen.

The TVs on the machines at my new gym just might help me work out more consistently.

Thirty minutes, hit 178 heartrate, which is just below my theoretical max... 544 calories.

fucked up over a boy, decided to go on an early morning bike. Today is my mandatory 5 consecutive mile day anyways.

6.6 miles in 35 minutes.


a broken heart makes you more aerodynamic, apparently.

Ok, if I write this down then it's got better odds of happening. I would like to lose enough inches that I can be comfortable while wearing trousers. Ones that aren't all baggy. I just need a little bit off the thighs. I'm not going to worry too much about being able to bike in them - I can do that in my current jeans. I would, however, like to be reach the floor without thinking about it.

Nice one
I just need to lose another 7.5 then I'm back to where I was before it started sneaking up & can continue to lose more weight (hopefully)!

I did book an aqua class for today, this morning realised I also have a dentist appt that will clash

[technical.angel]

Congrats, Cazzi! I lost 2 pounds also!!

[Cazzi]

Woo, I actually managed to lose 2 pounds this week after my weight sneaking upwards for teh last few weeks

2 miles on the track at the rec center on Monday. In under half an hour. Going for another 2 today, if not 3. I think what's really been helping me a lot is having my music. Gaelic Storm, Dropkick Murphy, and Enter The Haggis are really good to run to.

With my joints, I think I'll stick to the leg press thanks Physio recommended them as best for me

[Whiskey]

Nothing majorly exciting
Managed more minutes on the various cardio machines than I have been managing lately and added a little extra weight to the leg press etc.

Been on a bit of a vicious cycle the last few weeks... depression & pain & those 2 feed each other!!

Ive found biking when I don't want to helps my moods. I hate the idea of biking, but once I'm on that bitch I just go. It clears my head after about 3.5 miles. You should try barbell squats sometime, better for you than a leg press. I liked that press until I did squats. I will never go back.
