What’s your biggest remaining challenge?
Interesting article — you can have your DNA tested to find out what sport is the best fit for you.

In no particular order…
Works: Outrageous distance-based goal with deadline (Lazy Man’s Triathlon, first 5K race, first 5K continuous run, marathon, open water swim, triathlon… what else to come?)
Doesn’t work: Exercising for X minutes Y days a week. [...]

I’m not going to talk about Oprah.
But I do want to talk about this statement in a blog about Oprah:
“For people with disordered eating or an eating disorder, weight is but a symptom of a larger, often emotional problem.”
(Disclaimer: I’m not suggesting Oprah or fat people have emotional problems.)
The realization that I needed to focus [...]

OK, this is getting ridiculous. I could blame TOM or my mother (visiting), but reality is I exercised too little and I ate too much (and not of the right stuff). Interestingly, I’ve also been getting stressed/weirded out by being in the top three of the BLBE and I suspect I’m sabotaging myself somehow around [...]

I had a moment of clarity last year in which I realized that, until I learned to deal with stress better, I would never stop overeating to deal with stress.
Sounds obvious, right?
So I have experimented and found several things that work for me, not necessarily in this order or in every circumstance:
Support from people (such [...]

OK, in typical me fashion, I made it through the tough part (the travel) pretty well and now I just want to kick back. Ugh. I don’t so much want to eat, but I do want to sleep and I have no energy to exercise. I want a miracle to occur.
I know I’m still jet [...]

I’m staying at Le Royal Meridian hotel in Shanghai. I exercised (at the gym on the 10th floor of the hotel — the building on the right with two antennae) and then walked all over Shanghai.
And, I managed to eat fairly well today. But it was tough. I am tired and I miss my family. [...]
