Garmin's Vivoactive is multi sport including swimming.

It's just a number. Doesn't reflect on you or your value. You can't take action if you don't know what you are dealing with. So definitely weigh yourself and move forward.

Seriously? Who online has ever spent time with you, analyzing your gait, helping you find the proper shoes so you can meet your goals? Who online lives in your community, employs people in your community who then take their paychecks and spend their money in your community? Small businesses have a huge impact on the…

It could definitely be your shoes. Make sure you go to a running shoe store to get fit. The life of a running shoe is about 350-400 miles for a standard cushion shoe and 500 miles for a high cushion shoe. It is not whenever the shoe falls apart. If you can bend your shoe in half, it's time to replace and turn those old…

I sell running shoes...and the best brand is the one that fits your foot and your needs. There is no best. It's whatever works for you. Keep in mind that all of the major companies have high end shoes and low end shoes. And there's a world of difference between those shoes...the materials that are used, the technology put…

It's definitely possible but absolutely harder. Don't let young women or any aged men tell you different. Things that worked in my 20s (increase my exercise, weight gone), 30s (increase exercise not enough, add eyeball portion control), 40s and beyond (increase exercise, weigh and measure and count calories). Your…

There are so many red flags in this post and your original. Do some research on Narcissistic Personality disorder and see if your husband fits the profile. Is he verbally abusive? Is he emotionally abusive? If you want to talk privately, please feel free to message me. I hope I'm wrong. But I have experience,…

Stretch and/or roll your calves...tight calves can exacerbate PF. In addition, stay hydrated to keep your muscles more lubricated and thus less tight. For your workouts, go to a running shoe store and get fit for shoes. They can also recommend an insert/arch support that can help. You can also freeze a water bottle and…

Moving Comfort has some great options and I second the Enell brand. We sell both brands at the running shoe store where I work. I would go to a store like that to get fit and get recommendations.

Don't wait until you feel like it. Make an appointment for some sort of exercise and keep it. It could be anything to get started. Gym, walk, exercise class...there are tons of options. So cliched...but just do it. I am NEVER motivated to go to the dentist. But when I have an appointment I go. There are lots of things I do…

Don't wait for your motivation. Make a decision and do it. Go ahead and search for something you love, like, or tolerate...but decide that you will workout whether you feel like it or not.

How long have you had it? It can take up to a year to recover. I would avoid surgery, actually and stick with what you are doing as well as make sure you are in the proper running shoes.

The size difference is minimal. Most people have minor shoe size differences. Without knowing the shoes and what category they are in (neutral, stability, control) it's impossible to really know what's going on. Insert/insoles are often a good way to improve the fit of the shoe. Did you buy these at a reputable running…

You probably need to fuel during your runs...Gu, Chomps or whatever. But unless you have a long training run I wouldn't mess with that now. You don't want to add something so close to your race.

You may need to fuel before your run...especially if you're running after work and haven't eaten since lunch. I suspect you are "bonking" because you don't have enough energy. I'd try eating something small before your run as well as make sure you are drinking lots of water throughout the day. See if that helps.

Some soreness is normal especially if you are new to exercising. As long as it is mild, it's no big deal and for me, a good indicator that I had a great workout and pushed myself. Stretching and rolling on a roller is a good way to work out that soreness. If the pain is severe, dial it back a bit and take some rest days.…

"I just had five cookies so my childhood is worse than I thought." Best line. Great stuff.

I've been doing it awhile and I love it. The community is great, I scale a lot of the movements...I have a super conservative trainer and that's helpful and important. I modify when needed and am in touch with my body so I don't overtrain or hurt myself. I'm competitive and I find it's a great way to push myself. Lots of…

Rocks in socks. Two pregnancies, breastfeeding, gravity...no more perky boobs.

I'm sure it's just muscle weight. B)

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. It's not clear how old you are but I'm guessing youngish. You don't have to choose a career for "the rest of your life." That puts so much pressure on you to get it right...or you risk misery or other horrible things. Give yourself permission to take the NEXT step in your life. Go…

Contact JDRF...Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Hopefully they have a support group in your area. Is this a new diagnosis? My son was dx'd at age 11. If you have questions, send me a message and I'll try to help.

It worked for me to abstain from most "treats" for a period of time. Ice cream, peanut butter, cookies, chips...Having that discipline helped me to understand what triggers I have regarding eating, especially eating too much. Stress, boredom, anxiety, and, oddly enough, eating make me want to mindlessly eat. That last one…

And take measurements, too.

Cotton is rotten...it will keep the sweat and moisture close to your skin. Technical running socks made from a blend of polyester, rayon, spandex and sometimes wool will wick the moisture away, be more comfortable, stay in place better and last longer...making the price tag more reasonable. There are all sorts of weights,…

Ice cream. With chocolate and chunks of peanut butter.

Tight calves definitely can exacerbate problems with your Achilles. In addition to stretching, get a roller and roll those calves out. Also, stay hydrated to keep your muscles well lubricated. You can also check to make sure your shoes don't need to be replaced. High cushion shoes are good for about 500 miles, standard…

Your arch doesn't really affect whether you need stability or not. You can be flat footed and neutral. If you are still experiencing pain and you haven't tried an insert like Superfeet, I would suggest looking into that in addition to your Kayano. There is no shape to the inside of your shoe (remove the sock liner and it…

Gel Nimbus is a high cushion neutral shoe. Gel Cumulus is a standard cushion neutral shoe. For a little bit of support, the Gel Kayano is a good option...mid-range support, very high cushion.

Hot: Americano with a splash of half and half and some cinnamon sprinkled on top. Cold: Several shots of espresso over ice with a splash of cream and cinnamon sprinkled on top. If I want some sweetness, sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup in the above drinks.
