I am 29 years old and have grown passionate about fitness and health! Overall, I have lost and kept off a little over 40 pounds, and I have about 20 or so more that I would like to take off. This last year has been tough and distracting in many ways, and I am back to work now! I am revisiting Traineo, because this site and the people here were instrumental in helping me lose my original 40 pounds so I am back! I regret that because of time constraints I won't be able to be AS active in the forums as I used to, but I will certainly try to stay in there and reconnect with old friend as well as make new ones.
My fitness goals remain the same as before as I haven't achieved them yet:
*GOAL 1 = 140 lbs

CURRENT FITNESS GOALS: Run a 5K, improve flexibility enough to do the splits, be able to do 50 pushups in a row, be able to do a pull-up, learn to do a hand stand and then hand stand pushups. :)

Great job riding your bike to work! Stay strong and keep in touch!
Nice picture, by the way.
Anyway, I see a direct correlation from when I stopped being so involved to my stagnation in weight loss. I still have about 25 pounds more to lose and a 5K to be able to run, and I need to get back on track.
So, I reassessed my mini-goals, and I am back... essentially starting over like I did when I lost the first 40 pounds.
Wish me luck!
Love the picture. You look fab. :)
by the way congrats on your weight loss..
BTW, I like your mini goals. :-) Looks like you are on pace to reach your first mini goal before the target date.
Your Weight Loss Progress is very motivating!

Well done for sticking with things. Yet again I'm weak and I'm going to kind of blame my blameless beautiful daughter for slacking on my couch to 5k plan. Hopefully once we have found a food she can tolerate and will settle down on for a whole night I might get the energy to get back into it.
I will keep abreast of your progress. Keep up the good work!
Looks like your trip went well! :) You've surpassed your plateau too! Awesome!
~Jessie~
And you haven't cheated, btw! When I started running with a heart monitor (3 months ago) I had to walk several times during my training until I got used to the new pace that it recommended me!
Today's run was a bit rough. I had to slow down for 30 seconds in the middle of my second 3 minute interval. I feel like I cheated :-( but I just couldn't breathe. As soon as I caught my breath, I finished out the interval, and the rest of the run, but this is the first time I had to "cheat". I still can't see myself running for 5 minute intervals let alone 30, but I will just keep forging ahead with the program the best I can...
I'll talk to you all in a week!
My running has collapsed in a heap of tiredness. Riannon has taken all my energy away waking up at all hours and the runs I have done have been so hard I would of been better off staying at home.
The weight is still dribbling off of me though, with all thoughts of food relegated to the back of my mind and baby feeds, and cuddles taking its place. I've been a bit naughty at times, but most of the time healthy and small portions and it is working well.
5.2kgs (11lbs) down since starting Tranieo anyway. Now to bite the bullet and run whether I'm tired or not and see what will happen.
Hope things are going well with you?

Ahhh yes.... today was a rough day. After dinner I decided to indulge in not 1, not 2, but 7 chocolate chip cookies at a hefty price of 120 calories each! Well, of course immediately afterwards I felt guilty. And, since I couldn't undo it, and I can't be bulimic, the only other option was to hit the gym to try and burn some of those 840 calories off. I was able to burn 650 calories before the gym closed tonight or 77% of my cookie consumption. So, that brought my "net" cookie consumption to 1.58 cookies. Well, that is better than 7, but I still am mad at my self for the slip up.
Well, tomorrow is a new day! I will make up for it.
I see me on your page, but I don't see you on mine! What am I doing wrong?
Riannon Amy Pearce was born (after a few complications) at 07:42 on 18th of Jan 2007.
Mum and Daughter are both doing great and are back at home as of late afternoon on the 19th Jan.
We have had our first night with her at home, and she has been very good, but we are all going to need quite a few catnaps to feel anywhere near normal for the rest of the weekend.
As for my training. I missed my final week 2 run on Friday as I was recovering from being up for over 36 hrs and I slept right through the night and went back to the hospital. So come Monday morning I'm going to restart week 2 and get back into the swing of it.
One of these days I'll get a full body shot up there...
Keep on keeping on! Great job this week!
~Jessie~
