Think about this...that is what you have been telling yourself. I like the line on an earlier post "put down that book". What if you, today, tell yourself I'm a healthy eater. Then be a healthy eater. You get the choice to rewrite the story that's running in your head everyday or stay the same. Choose a different outcome…

Wow!! I want your abs!

I still don't love it, but do it every other day 'cause I'm too far into it to quit now. I can run 3.5 miles and feel great afterwards (not always, but most of the time). I'm running at the Y in Grimes this afternoon at 4:15...grab a membership, treadmill and you can join me!!

Yes please.

I would find it hard to believe that Sally would gain back all of her weight if she stays at 1600 calories. I've been Sally. When I upped my calories from 1200.....the only reason I gained was because I quit logging/quit measuring and lied to myself about what 1600 calories was. I went back to old food habits and lied to…

I tried Kinkos today. They would not do it due to copyright issues. Any other ideas?

UPDATE--did not run the scheduled 5K on Saturday. After no rain all summer it was a downpour all day Saturday. I didn't know if 5Ks get cancelled due to rain or not--but the 5K was 40 minutes from my home and I didn't want to drive there and risk it. I did run 40 minutes on the treadmill though in place of the "race". Back…

Thanks for all of the information!! Did my last night of the training. IT WAS HARD!! Running a 5K Saturday. I'm going to keep it up as I don't want to start over......it can only get easier, right?
-
Thanks....I have so much to learn!! Advice will be taken!!:smile:
-
Can I tag along on this topic? I have 1 more night of the couch to 5k program. Last night I ran 30 minutes and felt like I was going to die, but finished. Tomorrow I'll run my last night of the program and have a 5K I want to run on Saturday. But I'm hesitant as last night was really brutal. Does a 5K ever feel easy? Maybe…

I agree---nothing like pride in yourself and doing something you never thought you could do!! And nothing like running to give you that feeling!! :smile:

Just did week 5 day 1. Running outside is so much harder for me than on the treadmill. I've been running 3.1 miles on the treadmill for a while now, but haven't been able to get there outside. That's why I started week 5 day 1. The first 5 minutes stink....even on the treadmill the first 10 minutes are not what I would…

I'm starting today. A trainer/cross country coach in the town where I work is leading a group on this program starting tonight.:happy: I too can run a 5K on the treadmill (albeit SSSSLLLLLOOOOWWWW), but haven't been able to do it outside!

I use activtrax.com.

INSPIRATION OVERLOAD!!! WOW--you look amazing--the smile, the accomplishment, the weight loss!! WAY TO GO!!

Dental floss. Google it for proper instructions....but I tied mine off with dental floss and then after about 5 days cut it off with a sterlized sissors. Seems the dental floss cuts off the blood supply , it gets brown/black and then it's safe to cut it off. Dr. OZ said it was okay to do this.....so I did!!:happy:

Today the saying: "we have met the enemy and he is us" Is nagging at me as I had 600 calores of unplanned eating last night after RUNNING 3 MILES. Can anyone say self-sabatoge! I'll never finish this journey of mine unless I get a handle on this stupid repeated behavior of mine.
-
I figured it out!! Ran this morning and it calculated my calories and beeped when my heart rate got above my high limit!!
-
I run on a treadmill and wear Mizuno wave creation.
-
Okay, I missed the important step of hitting the start button. It showed no calories. I think maybe tonight I will get this right. Have you ever worn it all day just to see how many calories you burn ir a regular day? I would be curious to know that about myself.
-
Baby steps......I got the thing to show my heart rate......still am trying to find out how many calories it says I burned.....
-
I almost can't wait to run tonight....(almost) to see how this works!:laugh:
-
Yeah for my husband...I think he got it figured out for me......Now.....tomorrow before I go workout....I'll put this on ...will I be set to go or do I need to start it somehow? And, after tomorrow do I need to reset it everyday or does it somehow reset itself after no activity for a while....sorry I'm soooo dense about…

Am I to late to join?

ahhhh....running with you son!! Any mom could understand that!! My 17 year old son and I go to the same gym--I try to go at different times than he does so I don't cramp his style, but once in a great while we are there at the same time. I almost cried the first time I ran for a half an hour with him running next to me. I…

THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!! I'm always hungry!!
-
I was using it, but my dietician told me to stop as it would not aid my weight loss.....now I can't remember exactly what she said about it that made me quit. I wasn't taking it for other health benefits but strictly to see if it could help with weight loss.
-
I just ran 3 miles this morning. HATE the though running. HATE the first 10 minutes of it. But, I promise myself that I have to run 10 minutes and then, if I want to stop I can. Sometimes I do stop. But the 10 minutes are non-negotiable. Today I did tell myself I was going to run 3 miles...non negotiable. Really nothing…
