Coming back to this to motivate myself to start yet again. Had another death in the family over the 4th of July weekend. Feels like every time I try to get back on track, something else happens. Please, please, just give me a few uneventful months.

I love to eat salads but I hate making them - so much prep! This is my favorite salad when I feel like putting in the effort - the dressing is AMAZING: https://minimalistbaker.com/roasted-vegetable-salad-with-chimichurri/

Mini Reese's cups are 44 calories each. I usually eat two a day for a very satisfying dessert.

I would eat it in small pieces, making sure to fit it into my daily calorie plan.

Left to my own devices, I'll snack all day long and never eat anything resembling a proper meal. I could literally never stop snacking. When I switched to eating actual meals, which I would define as larger portions of prepared food that include some significant amount of protein, I noticed a huge change. Instead of…

2/1 - C25K week 4, day 2 complete I ran a total of 16 minutes, my knees don't hurt, and I got to pet a super fluffy dog. I call that a good day!

I ran for 5 minutes without stopping to walk today. That's a victory for me for sure!

@emmamcgarity @katharmonic @SchweddyGirl @marisap2010 Thank you all for the warm welcome! I've been doing a lot of reading here and on r/running, and everyone seems so supportive and helpful. Very excited to be joining such a great community!

Hello all! I am a new runner, getting ready to start Week 4 of C25K. My goal is to continue the program as written. I should be almost through it by the end of February!

I love it, personally. I can't eat dairy, so I'm used to coconut milk versions of ice cream anyway, and I think some of the vegan flavors are very good. I particularly like the cookie dough, candy bar, and salted caramel flavors. I actually like that it's not AMAZINGLY delicious. It's good enough that it satisfies my…

I had to quit all caffeine when I was 18 because it caused horrible stomach pain. As soon as I quit, the pain went away. It's a little weird to be completely caffeine free when 99% of people seem to be drinking it all the time, but honestly after all these years I don't miss it. I drink herbal tea when I want something hot…

The biggest small change for me was eating actual meals. Left to my own devices, I'll snack all day long and never eat something that resembles a substantive meal. That would be fine if I was snacking on nutritious foods, but nope - Doritos and ice cream were my favorites. Now that I've started to focus on eating at least…

It's too expensive for me to use regularly, but I'll order a box when they offer discounts. I like it a lot! I feel like it helps me get more variety in my diet. Left to my own devices, I tend to make the same things over and over. It's also really nice to have the nutritional info already calculated rather than having to…
