I like it! No doubt this will turn into a 3 for all
I need to lose 2lbs per week over the next 14 and bit weeks to hit my first long term goal.
Because I have a holiday, a stag do and a Wedding within the next 3 months I know that realistically I need to smash out some high scoring weeks and get myself well ahead of schedule.
I'm looking to lose minimum of 2lbs but am setting my sights on a big week.
Training in the woods tonight, punchbag and bodyweight exercises tomorrow. Rest Wednesday. Run with stops for pull ups, sit ups, push ups, beam jumps, back row and more sit ups Thursday. Rest Friday. Then hundreds of stairs with kettlebell carrys and slalom running down hill, followed by some parachute sprints.
Just really need to keep my eating in check this week.

So I have to give credit where credit is due - Mike's strategy of having me log in to see that I'm banned for life from the forum seems to have worked.
3??? I'll have to think of a 3 goal. They only have early morning swims twice a week, and it's hard for me to go at the other times. I'll have to come back to that.
Mike - re your 3-policy goal. At first, since it followed "ban 3 spammers," I thought you were going to write 3 policies for the forums - like maybe at least one post a day has to be in poem form.

Hey, guys!
So, Tori came and found me a couple of weeks ago via PM, so I figured I'd join back in.
I'm doing pretty well. I'm training for a half marathon right now. I'm hoping to drop about 10 lbs pretty quickly here, because I'm meeting up with a friend mid-July whom I haven't seen since I started losing weight (over 2 years ago now, but who's counting?) So I set a goal to be back at my lowest weight by the time I saw her. Anyway, I'll post some goals, I suppose:
1.) c. 1200-1400 calories/day
2.) Drink 64 oz. water/day
3.) Exercise -
M: Gym
T: Run 4 miles
W: Gym
Th: Run 4 miles
F: Gym
S: Off
Su: Run 5 miles
4.) Finish making plots for journal article
5.) Start writing article in earnest
6.) Get my basals on my insulin pump sorted out
It's good to be back. Thanks, Tori, for the PM. Honestly, back in January, when I think it was that I was last here, I needed a break. I was pushing myself too hard and expecting too much. I haven't gained too much weight since I left, a few lbs, but nothing I can't recover from. Cheers to a good week.

3) stretch daily
3) take magnesium/malic acid twice a day
3) more water
3) get to the gym, even if just for 3 haha I mean 15 minutes
3) write
3) meditate
3) practice Spanish
So 3 goals. In honor of Mike. It was truly a 3 for all. That WAS clever, Dave.
