Fitchella 2012 It's GO TIME!

[Newro7ic]

I strained a muscle in my back, so I have taken the past couple of days off. I miss working out. Going to start with running again today, since it's feeling much better, and hopefully work outs can resume tomorrow. Weight has still gone down, and I've surpassed my first goal of hitting 210lbs. I don't imagine my weight will go down much more than that (6'2" with a big build).

Happy Holiday's everyone. Keep it up.

I'm currently defeated, i've become lazy and the last month i've done terrible. That said I am refocusing. I am heading to Cali in a few hours and i'm prepared to jog while i'm there. I will watch what I eat this weekend as well. God damn it. I frustrate myself to no end. Overall i'm just not in a happy place right now and I need to make my health paramount again. It's disappointing to be at such a low after the fantastic year i've had. I keep trying to focus on the progress but it's hard right now. I'm a good 60+ pounds overweight or away from any kind of goal.

14 hours and 54 minutes until a change in lifestyle.

New year, new found inspiration, motivation and fresh start. Don't give up!!

T minus 14 weeks until Weekend One.

14 weeks is PLENTY of time to shed those holiday pounds and then some. For those of you off the wagon (and I'm one of them) let's do this shit. No more excuses.

It starts today.

[chiapet]

I think I said I'd be back on the wagon starting today. Yikes. My everything hurts and I finally have that hangover I've been owed for the last 3 days of partying. However, I'm gonna suck it up and go work out after work. :/

[TomAz]

I had resolved to begin working out again this week. And then I caught this nasty cold.

[Newro7ic]

I started working out again yesterday and my back seemed to hold up fine. I should be in full swing again within the next couple of days. It felt good after nearly a week off. I was beginning to feel like a lazy sod.

I just bought the p90x , bands and bar and a new pair of new balance on/off road sneaks.

It's on. Motivation was skinny dipping with mountain climbers in some hot springs. *** DO NOT get naked next to these lean pieces of chiseled rock.

I'm takin pictures for before and after. I'll be back

[chairmenmeow47]

i've been walking every day for a week now. a little more every day, and since i'm still home for a few days, sometimes twice a day. it's going to be hard to keep this up when i start work again monday, but i'm glad i'm getting in the habit now.

my midnight snacking is bad though. i do so well during the day. i think work will also help with that. and i'm only eating about one thing a day that i prolly shouldn't with my problems. i started drinking root beer. i need SOMETHING besides water. my favourites tea & seltzer aren't allowed, neither is oj and i don't like juice really. and for some reason root beer is listed as kinda ok, so i've gone with that. i was apalled to realize how much sugar is involved, but have found that virgil's zero calorie zero sugar isn't bad. i prolly shouldn't drink it all day with the carbonation, but hell, something with a meal should be fine.

hopefully my diet will improve when i return to work. i'm just glad i'm walking.

[sonofhal]

Have managed to lose 4.5lbs since Boxing day, so not a bad start. Not doing a lot of exercise - just having a low fat diet and not eating shit.

[Devin the Dude]

Coffee Adderall Gym I win.

[Sleepingrock]

I'm hoping on fighting wildfires this summer, so it is time to get fit! Went for my first run today, so far so good.

[ThatGirl]

Im exercising 3 x weekly as usual but been indulging in too much garby food and red wine. It's been too easy to pop over to the pub all week.

[sonofhal]

It's my 40th next week, so my dieting is pretty much just to make room for the abuse my stomach will get from then onwards (party followed by 10 days in Miami/Weezer cruise etc).

[ThatGirl]

Hey Chris, the big 40! You'll have so much fun. That sounds like a blast.

[sbconnection]

So I have decided that I am going to try all the classes that 24 hr fitness has to offer to see what my options are. Therefore, I attended a class called SilverSneakers. I guess I should have known from the title that this was going to be a predominantly elderly crowd but I went anyway. Too easy... Even with heavier weights and the more vigorous option for the routines. Still fun though.

More Zumba tonight. And an afternoon Zumba class tomorrow too. My coworkers want to cut me when I try to play that shit at work when we are tired and draggin ass...hahahha!!

I'm so glad you enjoying more Zumba. I'm going tomorrow, then on Sunday my instructor and about 10 of us are doing a Zumba demo at a Fit and Wellness Convention. Should be fun

Some hick motherfucker called my Chocolate souffle a cake in a cup once and I about sharted myself. So insulting, I would have rather had a slap to the face.

[Mr. Dylanja]

There's definitely an anal joke in there, but I'll keep it clean for the fitness thread


I'm feeling awesome today, it's been a good, healthy week.

[chiapet]

It hasn't been a healthy week for me, but I am officially back in Fitchella starting today. Did my weigh in, filled my fridge with healthy stuff, and am off to the gym right now.

I got a pleasant surprise when I weighed in, so I'm pretty optimistic about this. Gonna shoot for 20 lbs by coachella.

[sbconnection]

.... pictures of progress?

[chiapet]

I will, as soon as I make progress.

I almost took a picture in shorts and a sports bra but wimped out.

[sbconnection]

Well if some unmentioned 3rd party would post pictures of my costume from NYE I'll put some in here.

[chiapet]

Joe has some I think! I meant to tell you, I could really tell you've been working out, in your NYE outfit. Nice abs.

[faxman75]

I just weighed in and the results are as follows.

272 lbs. I have put on over 20 lbs. in the last 6 months. My goal is the same as Heidi's which will ultimately put me at the exact same weight I was at Coachella last year.

Frustrated. I dwell on the negative and it's not healthy. I just got back from a .82 mile jog/walk and played baseketball for about 20 minutes. It was difficult to say the least.

[bucketofpower]

faxy: hang in there, this happens. everyone in here knows you want it, you know you want it.

the lineup announcement is comin soon, the weather in phx is gorgeous, and you have plenty of time before coach is here. you already started with a jog and basketball, and we all know starting is the hardest part. build off that momentum, and continue. we believe in ya!
