Right now it's a tennis ball, as I have to work that big ole pooch of mine everyday, and a baseball would just be mean. 
Plus, Hub is not terribley sports-minded, so it's a no-go playing proper catch with him using the baseball and gloves.

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

i'm pretty sure she means dog, though, and that a tennis ball is better for catch and the dog's teeth.
no?

Quoting: lglcctj I don't have time to cook, but I have healthy foods to eat. everyone in the world has the same amount of time per day, and cooking well is probably more important than many things you do.
cooking well will also open yourself up to better productivity than eating a poor diet, making the rest of your time more valuable.
prepare things like chicken salads and pita-stuffings on the weekends so you can take them with you to work or whatever.

I had extra fun today as it was nearing the end of the session and he was starting to get tired, so I started lobbing the ball RIGHT at him for the last couple of minutes and quite enjoyed it. He's got such a bouncy, big fat nose.

Quoting: ColinFB Get out of this god forsaken country and live somewhere that enjoys freedom. well, you have choices. there's freedom from filth and unsanitary food and water, freedom from sickness (to an extent) because of decent medical coverage, or freedom from whatever tyrannical madness your government has you in bondage with. and really i doubt the latter is all that bad.
if you're up for dealing with the first two, though, i'll meet you in costa rica in november.

Okay...let me clarify. I don't cook. At all. I rarely even eat at home because I get home so late during the week and I'm hardly ever home on the weekends to sleep, let alone cook. Hmm...that's probably not a good thing that I don't get enough sleep.
But I have healthy things to eat at work nonetheless.

I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid.
I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy.
Got a blog rolling-

I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.

I have been working out regularly since Sept 07. I've been here several times in the past BUT this time the change is going to last a LIFETIME!!
I am the mother of a ten year old competitive figure skater (which takes alot of my time). I work fulltime and my hubbie works away. Time is a challenge!!!
I would like to lose 20lbs by July 1.
I resolve to:
Short term (by June 1, 2008):
1. Get back on track after my vacation in Cuba (April 7 - 16, 2008)
2. cardio 5x/week including trying to get back to running if my achillis tendon will ever heal!
3. weight train 3-4 x per week
4. Drink 64 oz water per day (this will be the biggest challenge!)
5. Obtain a Normal BMI (154 lb)!
Midterm Goals (by July 1, 2008):
1. Continue with short term
2. Try to increase mileage to run a 10 km race around Canada Day (July 1, 2008)
3. Try to find a 10 km race to run between June 15 - July 15, 2008
4. Obtain goal weight (currently set at 150 lb but maybe 144 lb) - BMI around 23
5. Continue weight training
Long term (By March 31, 2009):
1. To still be at this in 12 months time (the exercise and health habits not the weight loss part!)
2. To maintain a BMI of around 23!
3. To run a half marathon...if all works out...Myrtle Beach Half Marathon Feb 2009
