If you’re drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day, stop - that’s 4 pounds right there. And don’t forget to take your shoes off before you get on the scale. Good luck… and have a nice holiday.mindful mulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351688583487129714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078892560803292134.post-19438343269848052102007-09-25T05:50:00.000-07:002007-09-25T05:50:00.000-07:00I am leaving on holiday in 10 days and need to los...I am leaving on holiday in 10 days and need to lose 30 lbs by then. It's a daunting task I admit. <BR/><BR/>Your stats show around 30 miles a week. That should be more than enough for you to reach your goal. I'm envious.amidnightriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961440167635690163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078892560803292134.post-91714245834682458732007-09-24T15:48:00.000-07:002007-09-24T15:48:00.000-07:00Yeah, the goals definitely help, especially when t...Yeah, the goals definitely help, especially when they're made public on the blog. I’ll try to keep the pressure on you for those 3000 bike miles. I’m guessing I’ll come up a little short, though – I’ve still got 900 miles to go. I don’t think I can put up much competition for you in the xc skiing category – well, none, actually. Good luck…mindful mulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351688583487129714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078892560803292134.post-75768370310765124832007-09-24T13:16:00.000-07:002007-09-24T13:16:00.000-07:00"Of course, it’s probably best to stay grounded in..."Of course, it’s probably best to stay grounded in all of this and remember that running is not really about numbers, but about getting out there in the world and enjoying it"<BR/><BR/>very important point. but then giving yourself little goals to shoot for is sometimes just enough to get you out the door on a day when you're feeling lazy. the key thing is to take some time off if it's not fun and when it is fun try to get out as much as possible and let the totals fall into place. that said, i'd be lying if i didn't admit that i'm hoping to get to 2,000 running miles, 3,000 biking miles, and 1000 xc skiing miles by the end of the year.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238385683129822240noreply@blogger.com
