I had a few unavoidable things come up on me in this last week in november and was only about to complete about 15 miles of my extra 30. I feel bad having to type this cause I have never missed a workout goal before. But I guess this is the one time it happened and the ONLY time it will happen.

At least I was featured in the Success Story Blog today. that was a bit of a pick me up.

Congratulations everybody. Lets make December the best month as we save the best for last.

Don't have my miles to report yet, that's for tomorrow but I just wanted to post my recent success:

My fastest 1 hour run to date. I aiming for 8 miles in one hour by the end of this year.

I will post my miles tomorrow I think I will be done with my 75 then I can add the other miles.

I did my fastest running workout to date!

7.41 miles in 1 hour @ a pace of 8minutes 4 secs per mile.

just yesterday I was saying the same thing. I'm going broke buying new clothes. I have to completely change my entire wardrobe. I mean everything down to my socks. Everything is too big.

When I was fat I had loads of money now I'm spending hundreds of dollars a week trying to find clothes that fit.

First week stats for me:

I completely underestimated my running abilities. Since it gets darker quick now I have decided to try running 5 miles out of the 6 miles that make up the complete loop of road that extends from my house to the track and back. Something I call my "pseudo-track".I thought I wouldn't be able to do it but to my amazement I did it 5 times in a row this week. SO after I'm done wwith my 75 mile goal I will tack on maybe 50 or another 75. Anyhow....

75 Mile Goal

30.7 miles done ~ 44.3 miles to go

MILES TICKER

i usually run 5 miles a day for 6 days a week

always more than 4 days but never 7. 6 mostly

put me down for 75 miles this month see as how time has changed on me and I don't wanna get raped in the dark. Only 45 minutes of light left after I get off work. This next few months are gonna suck!

Whoo Hoo 2b congrats!

Here's to you never seeing those 40 pounds ever again in life!

my current stats as of 10/10/09

Goal 1 ~ Run/Walk 125 Miles

63 Miles Done ~ 62 Miles to go

MILES TICKER

Goal 2 ~ Burn 15000 Calorie by workouts alone

9466 Calories Done ~ 5534 Calories to go

CALORIES TICKER

150 Regular Push-Ups

94 Push-Ups Done ~ 56 Push-ups to go.

I'm trying to do at least 9 miles a day to train myself to run 10k without stopping comfortably (it's not going too good right now but I'll get there)   :)

Original Post by gi-jane:

I'd suggest that you go back to the CC calculator and input a realistic average activity level.  If you get half an hour a day... 'light'... if it's over half an hour and/or particularly strenuous... 'moderate'... .and so on.   That will give you one big number to aim for and then there's much less guesswork. 

(If you do a lot more exercise over and above your usual average then only log the extra separately.... and eat a little more to compensate)

And then plan your day out in advance rather than logging it after the event.... this is just so you can get an idea of how much food you really need.  If it turns out that for weight-loss you need a steady 2200 cals, for example, then you could aim for a 500 cal breakfast, 600 cal lunch, 700 cal supper and 400 cals in snacks.  Breaking it down like that can mean you're getting a nice stready intake and.... like feeding a fire regularly.... your body burns energy that bit more efficiently.

 

So going by this what should I have mine on? It's currently set to sedentary (2030 daily). But I run at least 8 miles no more than 10 miles a day 5 days a week. That's anywhere from 1000 to 1200 calorie burn. I always just entered in my activity and eat based on that.

What should I put mine at?

(sorry if this is considered a hijack, I didn't mean too)

you can post whenever you like. I myself usually post once or twice a week but I have to do this long process of uploading my workout data to nike then to flickr and then posting.

I have lost weight after STARTING on artificial sweeteners. I used to put 7 tsps of granulated cane sugar in my tea every morning for 6 days a week. When I started losing weight i switched to 4 packets of splenda and haven't and will not look back.

I notice no differences in craving for sweets or any type of hunger pangs other than what I used to feel before I started losing weight.

Also I have switched to coke zero and I notice no change AT ALL.

lets see: (my math sucks)

60 (minutes) / 25 (minutes) = 2.4 (mph multiplier)

6 (miles) * 2.4 = 14.4 Mph (hey242 runs 14.4 miles in one hour)

14.4 Mph = 23.17 kph (hey242 runs 23.17 kilometers in one hour)

the current world record for The Hour Run race is:

21285m (21.2 kilometers in one hour) set by Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia on June 27th, 2007.

So by this tiny bit of research hey242 runs much faster than the current world record holder. Someone needs to call guiness

I'm done with my 100 miles for September.

Still got 1600 calories to go so I should be finished by the 29th with my two goals

September Done

haha it made me laugh when I read you refering to it as her cause I call mine him. I have the male voice talking to me. (he's annoying lol)

If you have a Wii get the balance board with wii fit. You can get accurate readings and have a workout game to boot.
