My food diary is public. Anyone can check it out. It didn't help me to have it sorted by meal...that gave me no info on what kind of foods I was eating during each meal. I then tried sorting by time and divided 24 hours into 6 even chunks of time. But eventually realized that my problem was not when I ate...because I was…

Hello. I just started a 13 week (3x/wk) running program that will lead to 10K in May. Used the program before with success* (from book Beginning Runner's Handbook). *Success being me running at all. I'm not really into speed. I also love lifting and am finally back at it after a long time away. I am a single set person and…

Hello, Adpalangi. I was attracted to the title of your post based on my own experiences of coming to a place of better understanding about my own process of trying to understand why I ate the way I did or had certain thoughts about food, eating, myself and how I thought those things could affect my "world." In your OP, you…

Finally got to the gym. Felt silly just doing 3 modified but I know it's the best course for me right now. Did have some wrist pain. Otherwise, good form!

Okay...@bmanlatour...you seem to be a taker. I plan to head to gym at 2:30 EST. I should be done by 3:45. I'll report back and let you know. I'll be a bit embarrassed about doing this at the gym. I could easily do at home...but it feels right to do at gym. Plus, once there...I'll do other stuff too. I'll likely start with…

*starting*

Cool. Thanks! Feel better too.

Thanks to those who answered the OP. Appreciate the input and will be reading up on what it could be then booking a doctor visit again. ~M.C. Turtle ...eh, that's what happens when you crowdsource. Never know the type of etiquette people will have in an open thread. Not mad. Please consider taking extended convos to…

I limp too...but oddly, it's more after resting it.

autumn...does your pain shoot down to or up from your prior stress fracture? I don't really run...I have been using the treadmill and not really going over 4MPH. A few months ago I was running faster on the treadmill...up to 7MPH. Never felt anything go "wrong" during this running time...but never felt that with my…

If aliens do come, there is no guarantee you'd be abducted to a warm climate. Bundle up and head out. In the fall I go to my local thrift store to hunt for wool sweaters and vests. I layer up with the cheap goods and stay warm. A more expensive option is heating clothing:…

Hi, Hope. Read my profile and if you think you might like to be friends with me then send me a request. Take care! ~M.C. Turtle

Cool!

Totally just trying this out...
-
I'll be doing this today after a few days of hosting relatives. Need to get things in order again! Join in and get stuff done!
-
Will be doing this again in about an hour. Any one else in?
-
It does that automatically.

I kept going! Shoveled driveway and car, unpacked from trip, organized weekend gathering!
-
Totally just banged out dishes, laundry and writing letters to friends!

You know yourself best. I also felt overwhelmed at all of the contradictory advice out there...and not just with fitness...but everything! Then I just decided to go with my own flow. If it felt right to me I pursued more info on whatever methods I gravitated towards. I also try to respect myself if I need to change things.…

I know you asked for video, but I highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Hatha-Yoga-Illustrated-Martin-Kirk/dp/0736062033/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1423660231&sr=1-1&keywords=hatha+yoga+illustrated By far the best thing I've found for exactly what I want...which is also what you describe. The photos and…

Rest longer than a day. Rest is what speeds up the healing process. Rest is not the same as immobilizing.

I really liked this book when I did research for myself years ago...I'm sure there are lots more but I found this to be very helpful. It was at my library. It was old when I used it but I really agreed with a lot of stuff it said. Seems like it's out of print but your library may have it.…

I do something totally different. Check it out...my diary is public.

I practice intuitive eating...so eating whenever I'm actually hungry and eating what I really want. The reason I might eating anything due to time it because of sleep. I'm trying to get in better tune with sleeping. I'm noticing if I have caffeine or alcohol or eat too much too close to my bed time (which varies) it can…

Great awareness that a food "treat" is really not a treat at all...typically. I usually do exercise or fitness or health related items (if I do treats). I started a 13 week running program once and decided that if I made it to week 7 I'd get new sneakers. I also sign myself up for classes or programs that are related to…

It definitely takes time and awareness to do this but it is soooo worth it. As you change your relationship with food, make sure to look back and give yourself props for that progress. Sometimes it happens too slowly to really "see" the difference. Best! ~M.C. Turtle

Hit the weights again after several days of not being able to make it. Glad to be back. Was much harder today. Needed more breaks but I did it!

Amazing everyone. Keep at it! Know that you are not alone in struggling to make changes. Know that you are alone in trying new things. Know that there is a bunch of positive vibes out there swirling all around you. Best to you! ~M.
