There are three stages to a run: 1. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS; 2. This isn't so bad: 3. Glad I got this run in. Or, to quote Mary Poppins; "Well begun is half done". :) Sometimes you just have to get out and get started. No one ever regretted getting a workout/run in.[/quote] Too true!

well when i say morning....i mean 10am. i work shifts so i dont need to get up ridiculously early. i would prefer to wait til evening given the option! but if i have to go in the morning im going to try going on just a banana and on nothing and see which is better! i really thought i would need to have eaten more calories!…

thanks everybody! this has really helped. if i have to go morning i will try just eating a banana and see if that helps! and hope that i just get better at morning running too. Thanks :smile:
-
oh! you think it would be better to go before eating anything at all? interesting. il try that. thank you

this may be irrelevant but just incase....i put on about 2lb (water weight) when i am ovulating and weigh again a few days later and the weight disappears. some also put on before/during time of the month. so i avoid weighing myself when im ovulating and also during time of the month. how accurately are you counting…

is this the vibosmart hr+ ? i have that too. i worked all day yesterday and did about 9000 steps. it only added about 200 calories to my daily allowance?! maybe you need to get yours checked out? The watch that is

5k every single day is alot! i ran too much last year and ended up with tendonitis so be careful! but i saw some good advice about how to get you out there when you arent feeling it.....just tell yourself to run for 5 minutes and if you still dont feel like it then dont hold it against yourself, try another day, but more…

enjoy everybody xx

how far are you running?

im going for a 10km (atleast thats the plan) run in the morning! looking forward to it :-D

vivosmart hr+ has built in gps and isnt too bulky
-
i have the garmin vivosmart hr+ and i would totally recommend it. the outdoor gps is so quick and good. tracks my walks and runs really well. uses hr to calculate calories burnt which i love and syncs really well with mfp :-)
-
i personally try not to eat the calories back that iv burnt. i try to stick to my calories allowed on a lightly active day. That said...it would depend on how many calories i have burnt with the exercise. if its more more than 200 then i will allow myself an extra snack on something that is less than 200 cals. obviously i…

i work night shifts at a hospital too. i tend to eat before i go to work and then try my best not to eat until after atleast 2am. i call it breakfast or snack. depends what i eat. and then dinner in the evening before work. so i just stick to midnight-midnight but as said previously...doesnt really matter what you log it…

but i have heard going up and down steps is a good calorie burner
-
3 miles a day is ALOT. i do this 2 or 3x a week whilst also counting calories and i lose 1 to 2lb a week?! how much do you need to lose? x
-
i use my garmin watch for steps. i aim for 10,000 and i reach it most days but not without making an effort! it takes more effort than you would think if you have never counted steps before!
-
really?! better get back on the treadmill then
-
oh! good to know x

oh?! really? ha

interval training helped me get my time down!

currently on the stepper watching greys anatomy as the kids in bed :-D I tend to wait half hour to an hour after eatong before exercising!

I read through thousands of reviews to find the fitness tracker best suited for me. it would seem no matter which one you choose they have their faults so i ended up writing a pros and cons list and went with the one that had the least cons or the least important cons. i have the garmin vivosmart hr+ it has built in gps…
-
yeh i can go swimming with this one! To be fair the sleep tracker worked great the 1st 2 days i had it when i was off work. i work night shifts occasionally and it didnt seem to pick up the fact i was asleep in the day time. think it only logs your sleep during the hours you set for your normal bed time and wake time. but…
-
I did a lot of research on fitness watches last week before getting the garmin vivosmart hr+ it had the least cons and now that i have it i love it. its as accurate as they can get! only let down is sleep tracking id say but thats not important to me. it pairs with my fitness pal and helps to track calorie intake/output.…
