<p>Race Season is Done</p>
<p>For most of us who need help</p>
<p>For Next Year, START NOW!</p>

<p>CW: 189.5</p>
<p>GW: 175</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok, I am about to begin my training for the Rev3 Full in 2012 at Cedar Point. I want to get faster on the bike and I know that the easiest way to do that is to lose weight. Also, I'm feeling heavy and lethargic. For me, I will probably post some measurements, too, but I am starting a slow built through October, and will really pick it up as I head to November. I may fall off the wagon a little as I have to help my folks move, but for the short term, I will be eating better/less and starting to get back to the pool 2x per week, run at least 2x per week, and bike at least 2x per week. I do have the Jewish Holidays' this week, but let's see how it goes!</p>

<p>I seem to be stuck for the last few days. Super busy and little time for workouts. Seems everyone in my family has to have a new crisis if they hear I have 2 hours to myself. </p>

<p>I haven't been around for awhile, but I'll play. Last year at this time, I was at 156. I'd like to get at least under 135 again. Currently at 147, so I can at least breathe in my pants. I've been hovering around 145-147 for months now. Things are crazy for me with 3 kids on 3 different sport schedules and a ridiculous work commute for who knows how long. But I'm going to work harder at working out consistently. </p>

<p>I am not sure what period you are suggesting to play ??? But I can not lose the weight I need to by December 31st ... Heck winter does not officially begin until a handful of days before 12/31 ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to set a realistic goal - Today = 215</p>
<p>12/31 = 199</p>
<p>3/31 = 185</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have 2 goal races I would like to be lighter for</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1/15/2012 Houston Marathon</p>
<p>5/20/2012 3 Days at Fair - 24 hour race</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will try and weigh on Monday mornings</p>

<p>Flounder, I can't lose all the weight I need to by 12/31 without chopping off an essential body part or two. I'm all about achievable interim goals though, so we're doing a reverse-resolution to get us to New Year's. I'm sure we'll do the next round after that (and probably after that, and after that...)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone else in? No deadline, just put it up here and make yourself accountable.</p>

I also weigh everyday. I was down to 146.5 yesterday, now I'm back up 147.5 today. I gotta get back to laying off the sugar.</p>

<p>when I weigh everyday, it helps me identify foods I react to.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>it also typically starts me off in a craptastic mood, but that's a separate issue.</p>

<p>Found a little Vodka (Ok a lot) last night - Of course that lead to extra eating - A whole sleeve of saltines ... But at least it did not change my workout schedule today - As long as I get the workouts in the bad behavior is minimized.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I guess for this edition my goal is to be 199 by 12/31 - If history is a predictor - It will be a minor miracle - I do not think I have weighed under 210 pounds on 12/31 or in the range of 11/1 - 3/31 in 20+ years. I have only seen < 200 a couple of months total in the last 10 years ... But here we go!</p>

<p>You can do it Flounder!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SW 147</p>
<p>PW 147.5</p>
<p>CW 146.5</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Weighing everyday for me helps me stay in check, instead of "holy shit I weigh what? how did that happen???" </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It also helps me with body image issues. Many days I think I look fat, but jumping on the scale reminds me that what I see isn't necessarily reality. </p>

<p>Okay, I want in, though I think I'll speak in terms of Loss (e.g. Goal Loss, Past Loss, Current Loss). For the 12/31 target, I'll go with a goal of 15 lbs. It's tempting to go higher, but I'm still on the tail end of recovering from a couple of solid rear-end collisions last winter/spring. I think I'm beginning to see a light at the end of the PT tunnel, though!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>GL for 12/31 = 15</p>
<p>CL = 0</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Penalty = no coffee for January (note, this is not to say no caffeine. I'd drop into a coma in Seattle's gray skies without caffeine.)</p>
<p>Reward = need to think some more on this... but the penalty alone should be a pretty good motivator.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>My scale sucks and said 233 yesterday. I think it's lying.</p>

<p>Ok here goes!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Starting: 165</p>
<p>Goal: 155 by 12/31/11</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My penalty is continuing not being able to wear 80% of the clothes hanging in my closet and not purchasing larger sized clothing. My reward will be to fit into all of my clothes hanging in my closet!</p>
