I log mine as circuit training. Good luck and enjoy :)

If I were you I would listen to your doctor and do the MRI. You wouldn't want to cause more damage. When I run and do weights I wear a knee brace to help support my knee. If my knee is really bother me I will do yoga or pillates. Good luck!!

I tend not to eat before my morning workouts. I will have a glass of water. When I come back I will have another glass of water, shower and then eat.

If you are craving something it's okay to indulge a little. Try chocolate milk or chocolate covered raisins/almonds...I like to pretend they are healthy candy...lol...

I work out either before my son wakes up or after he is in bed. If I get up early I will go out for a jog. If I don't I take full advantage of ondemand (& library dvd rentals) workouts. This way I never get board and most of them are about 30 mins. On weekends I use my son as the best excersie...I take him to outside where…

Don't beat yourself up. Sounds like you had a cheat day. Which we all need to do now & then. I actually had one yesterday myself. But, today is a NEW day and you will do great today :) Make sure to drink your water to help with any bloating from yesterday. And, most importantly...Don't Give Up!!

I am cooking and will have all the fixings. I will eat and enjoy the day as it's my favorite day and only comes once a year :happy:

Banana Raisins Almonds Are my top three go to snacks!!

Also a busy mom here!! Working full time, tending to a family & house and husband who isn't home often because of his work schedule. It's hard to balance all that we have on our plate. If one thing is out of line it can affect everything we do. I take it one day at a time. I try to plan and prepare as best I can. I try to…

I LOVE working out in the morning. It gives me an exra burst of energy to get through my day. But, I am not going to lie I only workout morning during the summer and on weekends. In the winter I do my workouts at night. To get my *kitten* out of bed I...set my alarm and put it on the otherside of the room. I lay out my…

This week it has been avoiding the Halloween candy...SUCCESS so far!! Every other day...increase my water. Working out daily. Cooking healthy meals. Packing healthy lunches and snacks for my work day. But, most importantly...if I have a bad day or meal I try not to beat myself up as tomorrow is a NEW day :happy:

I try to avoid running when it's icy out but, running in the cold is unavoidable during New England winters. I dress in layers so as I get hot I can remove some. I also wear a hat and gloves...I am not going for fashion I am going for comfort and warmth. LOVED the C25K Program...Good Luck!!

I love nothing more then sitting on the couch at night after my son has gone to bed and stuffing my face with chips, cookies, beer, & well anything I can get my hands on. It doesn't seem to bother while I am stuffing everything into my face but, come bed time or morning I feel BLAH and so gross. I feel like all the work I…

For non fruit snacks I give my son Baby Bella Cheese MIni's, String Cheese, Yogurt, pb & crackers, homemade ice pops, veggies & dip, pop corn

Keep at it ~ it will all come back to you :) I went through something very similar...I ran daily but, took a break from it when I had my son. Now I wish I never stopped but, at the time it seemed like a good idea. It took me a couple of mths to get my stride back but, once I got it back it was the BEST feeling. Think…

I LOVE working out in the morning but, also LOVE my bed. I have tried everything and hoping that if I just keep at it one day it will just become routine for me :smile: I average about 3 morning workouts and 2 evening workouts. Good luck finding what works best for you :smile:

Thank you everyone for sharing your stories. I am excited to join this group :) I am a full time working mom of a handsome & very active 2 year old. I NEED to get in shape so I can keep up with my son and not always be so tired. And, I want to be a GREAT role model for my son. I try to do my workouts in the morning. I feel…

YAHOO!!! Be proud of yourself!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my wine & beer!!! I work it into my regular calories (most nights). Otherwise, I tend to use wine & beer as my cheat night :)

I love 30DS!! I use it as a rainy day work out when I am stuck inside. I log it as circuit. Good luck with the program!! Before I bought the video I rented it from the library.

When I am on the road I pack my water bottle, fruit and trail mix. Portable & easy snacks with lil or no trash.

Great stories ~ thank you for sharing :smile:

I have never followed the Slim Fast Diet but, I do keep their powered shakes on hand. If I have a rushed morning and not a lot of time I will make a Slim Fast shake & drink it out of my travel mug on my way to work. I pair it with some fruit.

I have an egg on a flat bread with a slice of cheese. A tall cold glass of water & a banana.

Of course you will. I have a drink (or two) almost every night. There are some things we just can't live without :wink:

Add pizza to the above list ~ all things I can not (and will not) live without

I perfer to run outside I feel I get a better workout. When I am running on a treadmill I tend to get board & end up cutting my runs short. I find it helpful to actually run the race route a couple of times before the actually race. Helps me feel more prepared for my big day :) Good luck :)

I LOVE both pairs but, I would go with the one available in your size. As you don't want to be uncomfortable on your wedding day.

Welcome back!!! I am too just returning :)

We like to go on family hikes. We pick a new place and pack a lunch. We have a lot of fun as a family and get some exercise in ~ win/win :smile:
