RUNNING IN PLACE!!!!

Hey everyone! Another week has gone by and it is time to check in again. We hope that you are all doing well. It would be nice to hear from you but I know you are all probably consumed with the "Face Book" craze and don't have time to enter your stuff here. Thanks Todd for providing me with some serious motivation. I am afraid that this week you will really leave me in the dust. Keep up the good work! I am still shooting for 200 lbs by June 1st. Keep posting Todd so we can keep each other on the chase!
Bec is doing awesome staying away from sweets. She passed up going to ice cream after our Stake Conference and we went straight home afterword. She is a machine! Keep going Rebecca! I may have to join you soon.

Here are our results for the week.

Cameron - 243.8 lbs
I am up 0.4 lbs from last week. I may start measuring myself as well so I can see if there are changes. I can feel that there are in my clothes but it would be nice to see on paper.

Bec - 162.0 lbs
Bec is doing great and looks great but the scale is not showing her results either. I know that one day the scale will take a big drop!

Keep up the great work Bec! Keep up the great work Todd! The rest of you, I don't know how you are doing because you don't write. Keep up the good work anyway and don't get frustrated!

Is there a time you guys want to plan our cruise? Why don't you send in some dates and we will start looking for some good prices.

Todd is still in the lead!

Cameron,

You almost caught me! I only exercised twice last week but now I see I have some serious competition so I will have to get with the program.

I did manage to control my need for fast food this week and watched my eating pretty close. I weighed in at 239.0 this morning. I actually weighed in twice just to make sure I was reading it right.

Keep up the good work June is comming up fast.

Todd

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! (I know it was saturday.)

Hey Everyone!

Another week has gone by and we were not able to do much exercising. The weather has finally decided to rain. We need it badly but it is not very fun to run in. Maybe this week we will have to try it as long as it is not raining too hard. I ran this morning and it was lightly raining. It wasn't too bad. I was slow though and I missed Bec. She is not feeling really great right now! We both weighed in this morning and here are the results:

Bec - 162.4 lbs (I think she was standing on the scale wrong because she is doing great with having no sugar! She didn't eat any Valentine candy or anything, and it was around!) Great job Bec!

Cameron - 243.4 lbs (Hey Todd. The challenge is on. I think this is a little lower than your last post! I like the idea of being 200 by June 1st.)

Keep up the good work. Glad to hear you are starting to feel better from your run Earle. Running and hills, do those really go together? I don't think so!

Feeling Good

I had to take a break, not because I got lazy. I ran a 10K in Jan and got shin splints from it. It was a hilly course that kicked by butt. I ended up reading online and decided two weeks off was the best. Last week I ran two times and already two times this week. I have been working on my heart rate with my Garmin watch. I weighed in at 208.8 on Monday. I inch ever so slowly down to 200, my next goal. I seem to float up to 210 on a regular basis. Now sure why...

Yeah Todd!

OK ,

I've been reading this fitness blog or yours on and off for quite a while. Everyone is looking great! I however, have yet to start any type of fitness program but I guess that is why I'm writing. I'm finally giving in. I realized Cameron almost weighs less than me and I
can't let that happen, at least not until we are closer to 200 lbs!
Just kidding, although that is a very good source of motivation, I'm extremely proud of you guys and the hard work you have done. I don't know how you do it with your busy schedules but it is inspiring.

Actually I was looking through pictures of me and I don't recognize who is in the photos. For some odd reason I have body dysmorphia and still think I look like I did in High School. I hate to admit it but I weigh 243.5. This is down from the 248 I weighed two weeks ago (Jan 27th). I downloaded an app on my iPhone called Lose it! and it allow me to track what I was eating. It really made me aware of how much I was overeating. Sometime I was eating 4,000 calories per day! So far just changing my food habits has allowed me to drop 5 pounds.

My goal is to weigh 200 lbs by my sister's wedding June 7th. That is about 2.5 lbs per week and I have 117 days left. My daily calories should be around 2,000. Tonight I'm going to start the exorcise program. I am definitely no runner like some of you but I will be hitting the exercise bike along with some weight training and cardio work outs. 6 days a week.

Well, best of luck to everyone.

Todd.

Weekly Checkin and Update!

Hey everyone! It is winter hear in Cali and that means rain. This makes running in the morning challenging. We got out a few times last week and it felt really good. We are slow but we are still going! We both had a good week.

Bec - 161.4 lbs I thought the sugar fast was just for the week but she told me today that it is for the month. She is doing great and even passed on fresh, hot Chocolate chip cookies the other day! Way to go Bec!!!!!

Cameron - 245.6 lbs. I started watching the amount of food I was eating again. It is so easy to fall back into old habits. We are working hard.

We are glad to hear from Todd finally! Great to have you aboard!!!

Back In The Game!!!

Hey everyone! I am back after being sick all week last week. Liz, welcome to the fun! Glad to have you in our group! We are beginning our exercises again this week. Last week I didn't feel like getting up at all let alone to work out. We are still trying to get back in the swing of things from Christmas break and our vacation. Let me just let you all know it is much easier to slow down or stop exercising than it is to start sometimes. We are back at it though. Bec is on a sugar fast this week and we were up at 4:55 this morning getting ready for our morning stroll. It was nice to be back out. We also got back on the scales this morning. We have been weighing ourselves just not posting it. Sorry! We will do better.

Cameron - 247.4 lbs
Bec - 165.4 lbs

We are still looking forward to the cruise! I hope you all are planning on it.
