223 lbs. 10x marathoner. Going sub 200 and sub 4 hours in the next 100 days.

I have to just stop with the candy. That kills me. And limit the empty calories from beer. But otherwise it’s ok to not be perfect! #fitness #weightloss

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

The streak didn’t take. I ate Reeses pieces, ice cream, yasso bars (plural), chips, pizza, drank beers, and whatever else I could get my grubby hands on over the last three days. The sky isn’t falling. Weight is still at 219.8. I can still do this. But I have to learn to say no!

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

So I’ve got some work to do... missed the workout streak. Been eating damn near everything in site. More updates to come. Not giving up!

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

🔥🔥🔥 Yeah, my kinda spot. Thanks #HG

@100DaysToDadBod it's a good decision. you'll feel fuller with the inclusion of noodles and have energy to burn for a workout later

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Is 740 calories for a stir fry a good lunch decision or a bad one? Asking for a friend who is trying to lose weight but loves food. Cc: @honeygrow

Brought workout clothes to the office today. Have signed up for the gym. Don’t know where the gym is. Don’t have important return to work items like deodorant or hair gel. Have identified a @cvspharmacy close by. I think I can, I think I can. #ToBeContinued #workout #gym #fitness

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Oh no! I gained 0.8 pounds overnight. 🤣🤣🤣 This is why I don’t put too much stock in any one #weighin. The #weightloss comes over time from cosistently making good decisions. Family in town this weekend, will be tough to eat well. Wish me luck!

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Plan is basically: be active every day, 25miles+/wk, speed/hill work 1x, and hit my long runs consistently. Flexible enough to fit into a busy life, but rigorous enough to help me run a #sub4. Right?

#training #racing #running #runningchallenge #speedwork

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

I’ve run 10 #marathons but never really felt like I nailed my training. Always coming up short on the long runs or shirking my overall weekly mileage or skipping speedwork. That’s why I keep going back to consistency. I idolize people who make a plan and stick to it. I want that!

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

The closest I came was a 100 day running streak last year. Felt good, but wasn’t able to build off of it once the #streak ended. Trying to do better this time around, and incorporate more cross training into my routine. #RunningGoal is to get 30+ miles/week which I’ve never done

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

For my first #WednesdayWeighIn - 218.4. I count calories using @MyFitnessPal and log exercise with @Strava . My goal is to lose 1.5-2 lbs per week while getting stronger and training for a marathon in October. I want to be at 190 pounds for that race. I want to set a PR of 3:55.

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

I haven’t weighed under 200 pounds in 5+ years. I haven’t weighed under 190 in about 9 years. I’ve started and failed countless times. What makes this time different? Right now, nothing. But I’m going to keep plugging away. #Day3 #WeightLoss #Fitbess

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Very important #WorkoutWednesday question: does slow pitch softball count? I’m trying to start a streak of at least 20 minutes of activity per day, and tonight is softball... so does that mean #running too? #dadleague #fitness

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Start: 223
Day 3: 218.4
Goal: 190
Plan: sub 1900 calories per day, 20 minutes of exercise and 20 pushups every day.

Good morning! Down another 1.2 pounds this AM. It helps keep me on track to weigh myself everyday. I know this isn’t for everyone, and based on the amount of times I’ve failed maybe it’s not for me either! But, so far so good! Gotta keep stitching good days together.

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Ok so I got a 20 minute @onepeloton ride in with @hmc_nyc, did my 20 daily pushups, and I’ve avoided the fudge brownies so far. #crushingit #day2 #fitness #weightloss #training

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Just finished dinner and I feel like I’m starving. But like... I’m fine. I’ve eaten ~1900 calories today. Should’ve eaten more vegetables but whatever. Time to slam back some water and get on the @onepeloton. Then I have to figure out what to do w leftover deserts from weekend.

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Damn it Karen, I can smell the popcorn from here! Some of us are trying to survive the workday on 800 calories!!! #openoffice #diet #weightloss

[Middle Aged Dad @100DaysToDadBod]

Ok so day 2 with the coffee... Not so great. But been good about eating (1 sandwich, 1 pack veggie straws), drinking a lot of water, and I will get my workout in tonight! #progress #weightloss #streak #day2
