Tyler and Fauxtini,
When you do a double workout, does that mean you work out longer than you normally would, or do you actually do two workouts at different times of the day? Do you do the same workout twice (like go running twice?)
I'm asking because I'm so curious about how you motivate yourself to do TWO workouts. I fight with myself every day just to do one. I still haven't worked out today, but I've sort of been on a roll with my final, so haven't wanted to break the streak. Strangely, I've found plenty of time to come to 3FC several times. Hmm.
For me it means I'm doing 2 separate workouts and I generally do 1 in the morning and 1 at night. So today, for instance, I only had biking on my training schedule and my husband will go riding with me tonight when he gets home from work. But I decided to go ahead and do a 3 mile walk this morning just for the fun of it (I didn't run because I have my weekly long run -- 8 miles -- tomorrow morning and I want my legs pretty fresh for that!)
For me exercise is the EASY part of being healthy, food management is so much harder. I love sports: I run road races and I compete in triathlons (swim/bike/run), so getting my fitness levels back up is simply a pleasure. It is all VERY much harder to do carrying all this extra weight, though, so I get faster as I get lighter. Thank god.
Thanks gain for all the congrats! I surprised myself. TOM is coming and I think my high energy, lower weight might not be with me for a week or so! hehe
As for the 2 workouts thing. sometimes when i do my morning workout it just pumps me up and i WANT to do more. It's very unlike the 'old' me.. and i like it! I find after forcing myself for a bit, it becomes a lot less of a struggle to grab the ol sports bra and just do it!
These challeneges help! When i hae to type my weight on here ech morning I want it to be a smal success each time. hehe Im like a puppy searching for approval! hahahah not really. but you know..
I did make myself workout late yesterday. I got on the treadmill for half an hour. I think I'll do a workout video today. I'll try to get to it earlier too!
Nice job FCBG! I knew it would come off! I bet it was the pasta!
Awesome FCBG!!! I told you you were gonna kick some *** this week! lol
And way to go to Tyler and KD!
I, on the other hand have seen a sharp spike on the scale to 281.5...... I worked out TWICE yesterday and the only BAD thing i ate was one friend wonton. TOM is lurking.. can I blame it on that? hehe Whatever... NO use to get upset about it. It's just hard going from a good week to that!
