Driftwood Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Fitness goal: Live under 200 lbs bodyweight for at least a month. I'm at 227 right now. I've had many other performance-based fitness goals but I found I've met most of them while being overweight. Half marathons, adventure races, mud runs, above a 90% on the Air Force PT test, 24-hr run, etc. This time my goal is based solely on bodyweight. I have to exercise regularly at work, so that part of fitness will take care of itself. Quote "Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good.

Driftwood Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Today's workout: 28min run. Unknown distance. 1hr Krav Maga B: 4 Eggs fried w/olive oilL: Clif Bar and 4 peanut butter filled pretzel bitesD: Grilled chicken breast, raw baby spinach, refried beans, rice. It's been months since I've had a 'good' food day. I usually define good by not binging on any one food, or eating desserts. By binging I mean sitting down with a jar of crunchy PB and eating it mindlessly, or eating a half pack of oreos at a time, or a pack of graham crackers. Today is day two of good food days.

pattycake118 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Man, you and I both love our chocolate! The sugar in the peanut butter candies is dangerously addictive for me, so I stay far away. I'm glad to see there were some veggies before dinner today. I'm noticing myself that if I don't have some crackers, a slice of bread, or some potato in my salad it just does not satisfy. Good work on the PT test! 1 Quote || pattycake118 establishes routine || fitbit || MFP |||| Level 3|| STR 3 || DEX 1 || STA 2 || CON 6 || WIS 3 || CHA 2 || Link to comment
