Ok...fitness New Years resolution...

Am down 58 pounds this year and want to lose at least another 30 to 32 to reach my goal. I know I can do it! With my exercise routine and new eating lifestyle I started much earlier in the year, I will achieve what needs to be done.

58 pounds is pretty impressive. Keep it up man.

Your recent pic I must say looks amazing!!!! Great work so far. Can't wait to see you reach your goal.

My goal is to run a marathon in 2011 and to compete in Tough Mudder.

Still working to get down to 180 before bulking up to 195 again.

Right now I am at 195 but it's mainly from lack of working out and running the past month. Been very hectic at work and now that it is finally slowing down some, I can get back into my gym and running routine.


Will be back into 2-fer mode on Monday. 4:30 a.m. gym and 3:30 p.m. runs with Yoga worked in as well.

I will be more flexible, stronger and faster this year. Plus with the big 4 0 coming up, I want to hit my stride running.

Thank you kind sir! And sounds like you're well on your way to your goals as well! Will you be wearing those snazzy green shoes in the marathon? ;-)

You will reach said goal. If you went this far, you can go all the way. Have you been taking pictures of your transformation? Measuring body fat loss on a weight scale is not the best way to gage one's success. Photos every month to show progression is the best way to do it. You may gain good weight (muscle weight), so the scale is not always your best friend in terms of the entire truth of success. I don't weigh myself. I go by visuals. I can be heavier and still have less fat than I did at a lesser weight. Muscle and water should also be kept in mind, not just fat. A guy told me he gained 12 lbs in one week. No way that was all fat. A lot of that was water weight.

Yup, I've taken some pictures throughout the year and it has been an 'inspiring' factor in my weight loss and goals. To see me before and now is just amazing in my eyes. Once I'm closer to goal I'll post some before and afters here methinks.

Thanks! I'm a girl though, ha!

I'll wear them as long as they can last that long. Running shoes usually only last 4 months max for me. And since these are going to be my primary workout shoes, I am not sure how long they will last.

For those who have not seen them, Here is a pic of my shoes

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Holy crap. I'm blind. Those are some bright ass shoes!!!!
~~Yes it's recommended to replace running shoes at least every 6 months. I'm probably going to pick up some dedicated running shoes this weekend since I get paid on the 1st.

I don't know. The second day after going to the gym is usually the worst. You definately feel bad then Or at least sore.

I really need to hit the gym this weekend. The past two weeks I haven't been able to go because it has been crazy at work (had a 12 hour shift today) so I just haven't had the time to go to the gym, let alone the energy. So I'll probably do a quick full body workout on Saturday just to try keep things in shape until after I can get back after Christmas is over. I really can't believe how much I miss going now that I can't go.

well I mean about yourself mentally. Physically you can feel like dying...but I do love being sore.

Bump to the top!!! What are your New Year's Resolutions???

~~I'm down 25 pounds since August. Got another 15 or so to go to hit my goal.

To put on muscle to the point of this

Either way, welcome to my world. *flexes* hehe

Just do it naturally. Don't do it to the point where you can't wipe your ass either, like Ski.

Anyway, off to the gym. I work hard and earn my keep. No supplements required. Just hard work and good ol' determination.

You have all the New Year's noobs in there taking up space and wasting time.

~~Just had some Salmon, Quinoa, and Broccoli for lunch. Did legs and biceps earlier, and tonight I'm going to Crossfit.

 

[Starkiller]

Nothing is worst than driving in the snow to and from the gym. I hate it.
