I can definitely vouch for this, especially when it comes to trout. I simply cannot eat trout no matter how many times I've tried and no matter how fresh off the line it is. I'm a mild white fish (Tilapia, Cod, Grouper) person. I have only recently gotten into fresh tuna, which I do very much enjoy, as well - seared or in…

@moyer566: Again, I am glad I am not alone in my tech/tracking obsession! @Stoshew71: The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. :smile: For me, though, I embrace my addiction (and blame my father for my tech-geekiness...and overall nerdiness, really).

@Elise4270: I also have a Word document that I use to keep this board updated! haha At least I'm not alone in this. :smile: @moyer566: I love that! If you haven't guessed, I am totally #1. :wink: I feel silly running with both my Garmin and my Fitbit, and I do get weird looks, sometimes. I would totally lose the Fitbit…

I feel the need to comment on this Strava thing: Firstly, I have never even heard of it before reading this thread this morning. Secondly, I now feel like I need to sign myself up. I already use Runkeeper, Garmin Connect, Fitbit, MFP, and when I run on my gym's treadmill, mywellness. (Can you tell I'm a data hound?) What's…

@GBrady43068: The "Jiggle Butt Run 5K" reminds me of a race that is local to me. It's called "Bouncing Buns," and it's a clothing optional 7K trail run at the local nudest resort. No kidding. I giggle EVERY time I see a flyer for it at another event. I can't even imagine running anywhere without clothes let alone through…

If you're putting Greek yogurt into mac and cheese (something I've never done, but I think I might try), use skyr instead. It's typically a little more nutritionally dense than Greek Yogurt. The brand I have in my fridge right now, Siggi's, has 23 g of protein and 120 calories in an 8 oz serving of non-fat plain yogurt. It…

I am 100% with you, there. If I were better than a middle-of-the-road runner, I'd totally be competitive! Right now, I'm only competing with myself. I also share your same goal for a 5K time. I've done it on my own, but never in a race. Hopefully, this year is my year! Last year was a wash due to my long-healing Spring hip…

The relay in the FL Keys is a bucket list item of mine. I am totally in if you put a team together for that one! :smiley:

I think this is truly awesome! Good luck to you all, and I hope your daughter comes into her own sooner rather than later. I was super self-conscious around that age, and it took me several years to be comfortable with myself. While never overweight, I was picked on for my awkwardness, which I think contributed to self…

Best of luck. I am definitely thinking of you. As far as a treadmill suggestion goes, I have nothing. I just use whatever my gym has. I don't currently have the space for a treadmill in my house. :frowning: To carry over our February conversation, I don't give a crap about medals or shirts, either (though ones that give…

@juliet3455: I submitted my time from the Philadelphia Hot Chocolate 15K from this past April, which was my last "big" race before I injured myself the following weekend. I had no idea if Disney would accept it at the time from Hot Chocolate, but I figured it was worth a shot, and it worked!

I'm going to go with a conservative 55 miles for March. Let's see if I've been able to accurately figure out this whole goal thing. 2016 Races: 02/21 – Disney Princess Half Marathon – 2:38:29 (included 16 stops to either take photos of something or have my photo taken with something) 04/02 – Philadelphia Hot Chocolate 15K…

I am so very sorry to hear about your father. I know exactly what you are going through - my mom was diagnosed with cancer late last August. My life was a complete blur for the second half of 2015. I'm still struggling with accepting everything, and we lost her in October. Best of luck. Get out and run. Do what you can to…

I am by no means an expert, and my situation is probably a bit different from yours, since I had trained for two HMs (but was sidelined with injuries) before I was able to actually train for a third which I just completed. This was also a HM I didn't take completely seriously. However, my longest run over the past couple…

Based on your experience with the Princess Half, can I assume you didn't submit a race time? I have heard absolute horror stories from people placed in the back few corrals, especially those people who want to run. Actually, the hot tub at my resort later that morning was filled with runners. Of course, we all got to…

I agree with many of the other posters - definitely not mayo. That being said, this does give me a few great kitchen experiment ideas. My boyfriend hates mayo and Miracle Whip (I prefer the latter), but we both love avocados. This might be a great solution for the two of us. I think I might try whipping something like this…

That is so awesome! Congratulations!

^^ This! They're definitely not same, and not comparable to sherbet or sorbet or frozen yogurt, for that matter - all different, all delicious in their own way.

Thanks, @chewyxrage. Your way is actually my favorite way to make/eat deviled eggs. Go team Miracle Whip! :smile:

Not deviled egg whites, but definitely not "calories, calories, calories," plus the addition of avocado adds some good fats to the dish. Of course, you can always use the yolks of just four of the eggs and cut the calories even more. Avocado Devil Eggs Recipe (makes 6) 6 hard boiled eggs 1/2 ripe avocado juice of 1/2 lemon…

I would have to agree with you...minus the milk part. I hate milk.

Congratulations on the PR! It might not have been your issue, but make sure you're well hydrated before your run - that might have been part of your calf problem.

I typically log, but it's almost always an estimate because I'm on vacation, so I don't pay 100% attention to what goes in my mouth. We were just in Disney/Universal for a long weekend. My "meals" on Tuesday, for example, consisted of half of a Gaston's Tavern cinnamon roll and a coffee, half a Mickey soft pretzel with…

I am so sorry to hear about your son. My trip was cut short due to a medical emergency of one of my traveling companions, but fortunately for us, it happened before we left, so I was able to cancel and reschedule everything. Now I get to deal with filing an insurance claim. I hope everything turns out okay for your son. I…

Me, too! Small, unbuttered popcorn and I count it as my meal.
