That sounds about right.

My baby finally moved upwards, which is a lot more comfortable on my bladder, but unfortunately puts a lot of extra pressure on my lungs. I have a feeling running is going to be a lot harder from here on out. The last two kind of sucked, but I'm hoping my breathing adjusts. I'm only at about 5 miles of my 50 mile goal so…

I did it!!! This is so addictive! ♡

They were awful when they were puppies, but now that they are older and trained, I can literally just say "Kennel" and they'll go in there and lay down with the door open until I'm done

Thank you to everyone who replied to my long stress-induced post ♥ My husband tested negative for COVID-19. So at least that's one less thing to worry about, that I won't have to miss two weeks of work. I ran a 5k last night. It was probably the most miserable run of my life. My legs were so tired from the get to. Not even…

Savory stuff. Pasta, burgers, sloppy joes, etc

I think its mostly subjective, and depends on the person. To me, its absolutely worth it. I have not achieved it yet (aside from a faint outline, no real definition) but its a goal of mine to obtain them and then keep them. There's nothing wrong with deciding they're not worth it to you, though. You overall happiness and…

I'm gonna join again for the third month :) I did 40, then 50, and part of me wants to push for 60, but I think I'm just gonna keep the bar set at 50. This is my first pregnancy and I don't entirely know how my body is going to react to it yet as I get farther along (currently 6 months), so I don't want to set myself up…

Its because they're not used to being worked like that, yet. Mine get like that sometimes, if I push myself harder than what my body is accustomed to. Drink a lot of water, stretch, and try to massage them to get some of the lactic acid out. You may have even pulled them. Otherwise, as much as it sucks initially, walking…

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, or responded to anyone's posts. I promise I did read them all, and your positive stories made me smile (especially the squirrels and talk of bears and such.) I've just been a giant ball of stress. I spent 4 hours cleaning my house yesterday because for some reason, that's a good stress…

Smoking. Such a turn off. You can go from a 10 to an instant 0 so fast just by sticking a cigarette in your mouth.

Technically it does have calories, but I believe that we can't digest it, so a lot of nutritionists and such claim they don't count because they're just in and out.

Just curious, why do you want meal replacement shakes? To supplement more protein? Or do you just like them? The best thing, I think, is to just eat mindful meals. I don't like to replace my meals. I just eat better ones. But it depends on the person. It's never satisfying for me to drink my calories, I end up super hungry…

I eat all the outside parts of a sandwhich/burger first

Any amount you set your mind to. I'm on light duty at work due to pregnancy, so I'm confined to a small room, maybe 10 ft by 10 ft, if that, and a bathroom. I set a timer on my computer and every 30 minutes, I stand up and pace my little workspace for 6 minutes. You could easily change this to an hour, two hours, whatever…

BMI is just a guideline, it doesn't take muscle into account. Look at my profile picture. Do I look overweight to you? If we're going by BMI charts, I fall into the overweight category. And my husband, I'll use him for example. He's huge, almost all muscle, built like a tank. But he's got a little extra, maybe 30 ish…

Weigh the empty crockpot, if your scale goes that high. Then weigh the crockpot, plus all of the food in it. Do the math, just subtract the weight of the empty crockpot. Then, weigh your bowl, plate, whatever. Weigh it again with food on it. Subtract. There you have the weight of just your food. It's just a few extra steps.

The amount of weight I've put on since becoming pregnant. I'm 23 weeks and I've gained about 14 lbs. My goal was 15-20 lbs at the end of it. I just don't see how that's possible to do and still keep myself and baby healthy at this point. I wish I would have held myself more accountable the first trimester.

I only JUST downloaded Strava for the first time yesterday because Runkeeper wouldn't work, even after I updated it. I'm gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling both when I'm home. Otherwise, I'll just have to fall back on my Fitbit's connected GPS to my phone

Believe me, I've tried :( Strava works just fine, but the moment I click on "record" it crashes and closes the app. Runkeeper won't even open. The loading screen comes up and then it crashes. I even updated both apps. I just had my husband check and they're both still doing it. Hopefully if its working for some people that…

I haven't been able to try and reopen them for a good two hours (I can't bring my phone to work) so maybe I'll send my husband an email and have him try opening them again. I have a FitBit that's got GPS, maybe I'll have to try that if they're still down tonight.

Anyone have any running apps that they can recommend that DON'T use Google maps? Strava, Runkeeper, and MapMyRun are all down for me since yesterday. They crash immediately upon opening the app. Runkeeper tweeted that Google maps is having an outage and they're trying to fix it. Does Zombies, Run use Google maps or just…

Honestly, I don't have anything really designated as "lunch." If I have the day off work, then I'll make an actual lunch, but it depends on the day and what's in my fridge. For work, I usually bring 8-10 "snack" items, being that I work a 12 hour shift and I eat out of boredom, so it helps me to have multiple lower calorie…

You could get a chest rig. They're made primarily for concealed carry or military, but I know that they do make them with normal pockets for phones and such.

I’m 24 years old and this is my first baby. Due August 23rd :) I'm actually trying to stay away from the scale as much as possible now because I know I've been consistent with my calories and I've been running 12-15 miles per week. So to see the number jump so dramatically despite my absolute best efforts is extremely…

@kgirlhart Happy belated birthday!! @dreamer12151 I'm over by the La Crosse area :) Ever heard of Sparta? And since we're (somewhat) on the topic of toes...mine kind of just round down. The big toe is the longest one and they taper from there. And my toes are super short, stubby little sausages. To the point that I used to…

Since we're somewhat on the topic of undercooked brownies.. Once, when I was a teenager, I accidentally baked brownies under "broil" instead of "bake." The HAPPIEST accident ever. The top was solid and had a bit of a crunch. And the underneath, the underneath part was hot, oozing, deliciously rich nearly raw brownie batter.

Also, for those of you not wanting to run in the cold, I feel this in my soul. I live in Wisconsin and I will admit I do not run much in the winter. It drops to maaaybe 2-3 times per month and they're not very far because I hate the treadmill so much. I have one dog that pulls something fierce and he's kind of an a-hole,…

Thanks for the laugh! I needed that today

Anything zero calorie. Salad dressings, syrups, coffee syrups, etc. Yuck. I've tried so many brands and finally gave up because they all have that nasty, chemical, artificial taste to them. Also, this ice cream. Judging by the picture, you'd assume it has a lot of oreo pieces in it, right? WRONG. I think in the entire half…
