The other day I ran 6 miles, did 60 pull-ups in 4 sets (dead hang pull-ups) and 200 push-ups in 6 sets. I was stoked.

I finished the half marathon. My time was around 1:59:30, I was impressed I came in under 2 hours! This was the second one I had ever run, the first one I came in closer to 2:30:00. My right quad hurt just a little, but it didn't get any worse, and by the last 2 miles both legs were hurting so it didn't matter.![]()
We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.
A Johnny pastrami, fries, cheeseburger, a peanut butter and a banana shake for lunch..
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
This morning, after my workout, I ran a 7:04 minute mile. That's my personal best. Before my work out I ran 7:18 minute mile. I was feeling like a boss until I realized that Olympians run closer to 4 minute miles.
fuckin' with the lights on
Since last Coachella I've lost 20 pounds.... Since January I've lost 45... those last 5 pounds are evil.
have only had two self-made heavily powdered sugar beignets, a couple cups of joe, and many G&Ts with lime. And no exercise in sight. It's Sunday, hell.
I won a 6 month gym pass at a benefit last night for Anytime Fitness. I am going to activate it tomorrow and probably use it 2-3 times
I've cut out/significantly reduced any intake of dairy and am now making my dinners protein/veggie only based in an attempt to lose weight while exercising at a minimum -- weight toning for my arms/sit ups/planks/leg lifts but no real cardio. Curious to see how/if it works.

I'm just not having cheese and carbs as a part of EVERY meal and EVERY snack. Like I was.

Unbelievable, and if any of you know about Mt. Sac, that cross country course is so fucking challenging.

But I actually came on here to say today begins my year and a half goal: to complete (not compete) a triathlon. After work, I'm heading over to Planet Fitness and signing up for a membership. I have my gym bag packed and plan on staying an hour. I was riding my bike during warmer mornings, but it's simply too dark and too cold when I get off of work. I admittedly have packed on the 13 lbs I had lost from the horrendous HCG diet since Coachella. Not to mention my alcohol consumption has gotten waaaaay out of hand (average 3 drinks/night) along with a few other fat inducing reasons.
I'm going to count my calories once again, but it will take some getting used to.
There are 23 weeks until week 1 of Coachella and I'm planning on being 20lbs down by that time; hopefully 30 lbs. With at least a healthy possibility of one pound loss each week, I should be able to successfully achieve that.
I have a coworker who is an avid runner/marathon goer who's given me lots of tips. I know I can turn to him with anything because he's being really supportive of my decision. Of course, I do work with men who average well over 275, so I think we can bond being one of the few fitness participants.
Secondly, massive congratulations to Nathan for the progress thus far! I'm really proud of you!
TL;DR My fat ass is starting a work out in hopes of completing a triathlon in a year and a half.

My limited cheese/carb intake seems to have been working. After a bit of a relapse during an out of town vacation I'm kicking it up again as I'm only 4 pounds away from a target "healthy" goal.
My heroin chic goal's going to be more of a challenge.

I'm going to join in on this like last year. More to kick my ass into gear and use re-joining Fitchella as my marker when i put my foot down to lose weight. Weeee!
I signed my dog up for a training class -- I am hoping to get her leash-trained so we can go on long walks/jogs together.
I miss talking to TomAz.
We all do. I live in the same city as him (unless he relocated) and rumor has it that at 3:15am if you listen closely and its really really quiet you can hear him telling you to go fuck yourself.
Obviously you need to pay someone to train your beast for you.
