I don't eat anything or else I get side stitches or acid reflux, but I do get some caffeine in me. It took some trial and error to figure out what works for me. I never feel light headed or weak with no food before working out, but that's my personal experience. Find what works for you!

I was having muscle spasms/cramps/twitches pretty regularly (and I'm well hydrated) so I started taking magnesium and potassium. I take them a couple of times a week.

Not very healthy, but if you need a "candy" sort of fix.... Sugar free jello + grapes. Rinse grapes to get wet, dip/swirl in the sugar free jello (the powder) of your choice. Tastes like sour patch kids. YUM.

Definitely +1 on getting new shoes and resting/healing until you go out again. I'm in the camp of thinking that real hiking boots aren't a "necessity". Use them if you like them for the ankle support, but there's nothing wrong with running shoes or the cross/hybrid hiking shoes. I'm in Wyoming in the US - we have some…

Sorry - I think I should be able to use an insulated container with an ice pack. Just don't have one at the moment! I'll have to look into buying one. With the yogurt, I was thinking if I could buy one of those cold insulator mugs (that they sell for smoothies or whatnot)... But maybe that still wouldn't keep it cold long…

I'm working out pretty consistently right now. Running 3-10 miles/day and lifting. My workouts may drift more towards the elliptical so I can study and get a workout in during school. I should have stated that my net calorie goal is 1200 a day - I eat back most exercise calories (I know you shouldn't eat all back since it…

Thanks for all of the input! I'm excited, but nervous. I'm in a 2 year program for an ADN (my area is still hiring ADNs), and then plan to bridge to a BSN or MSN... But that's a lot further down the line! I'm not living on campus or have a meal plan, so I don't really have that option. I'm taking out a bit more loans for…
