St George 10K

So I have my next fitness goal coming up in a couple of months! It is the St. George 10K! By the way, I've been continuing on my weight loss and lost 3 more pounds....whoooo hooo! I am up to 15 pounds now and still losing (like 15 more would be perfect).

Now at least I can focus my exercise on running more, swimming & biking less. Should be fun!

Quinn, can I stay at your house when I come?

Triathlon completed...what's next?

So all summer I have been working out to get ready for this event and now that it is over, I've got to find something else to keep me working out. I am currently maintaining my weight loss, although I think I've added some extra muscle.

I am currently eating about 1200 calories per day with very limited carbs. I thought I would continue to lose, yet I haven't. I suppose that is ok as long as I stay the same.

The holidays are coming quickly and I need to get my mind focused on another goal to keep from gaining over this season (since I almost always do).

Any suggestions? Anyone know of another race to train for?

November 5th

I made it through my 3 week 500 calorie diet losing about 12 pounds! Now, I begin the next phase which consists of eating 1500 calories. I must eat protein, veggies, & fruit - no carbs or sugar. The biggest luxury of this next phase is that I can now eat fats (nuts, cheese, dressing, etc.). I had a Cafe Rio salad with black beans, chicken, and dressing...what a change from the lettuce, chicken, and tomatoes (no dressing) I was eating before!

After this phase I will have set my body at this weight making it harder to gain back as easily as typical diets. Because I still want to lose more weight, I plan to eat healthy until New Years day when I begin the HCG all over again.

Sunday, November 2nd

I finished my 3 weeks of taking the HCG and as of Friday morning, I have lost 12 pounds! I debated on going on another 3 weeks, but I am struggling with cravings and feel that I cannot put another apple in my mouth (the food is getting really old).

I weigh in tomorrow and will ask how long I can be off it before I start another 3 weeks session.
