I only log pre-workout if it will finish after midnight and I want to make sure it counts on the right day. I don't have any problem with others doing it.

I eat my calories back. I have since I started. I was losing for the first 15 pounds while eating calories back. I haven't lost as much lately, but I didn't work out enough before Christmas and ate over my calories several times.

You can get face down in plank/push up position. Reach under with one one toward the other side, then alternate. Keep your abs tight.

If you don't have any other health concerns, you should be okay with just calories. If you have a history of high blood pressure, watch your sodium. If cholesterol, watch fat. Etc. I would recommend that you also try to get enough fiber. I was surprised at how easy it is to get once I read about where to find it.

We're both pretty close to 6-feet tall, so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't know that I would have thought about that though. Thanks for the help.

Haven't tried one of those, but they seem to be quite a bit more expensive than the others we've priced. I like the idea of one if I find it cheaper.

I think that hardest thing to learn is how to be confident without seeming arrogant. When we deal with self-image issues, we don't always adjust on the inside when we change on the outside. Most of us form opinions of ourselves when we are younger by the way people treat us. When we change our environment or our…

IMO there is no such thing as Karma. We have guilt from things that we regret. I think that when we feel bad about something, it affects our actions moving forward. My advice would be to pray for guidance and understanding. I don't think that you will find that this situation is helping you at all. Look ahead at what you…

Running Times December issue (maybe find online or at the library) has a great shoe guide. Runner's World magazine also did a shoe guide in their December issue. I went with Pearl Izumi syncroFuel Trail II. I always get pain in the ball of my foot more than the heel. This one had a 67/100 rating for forefoot where most had…

I read Bernie's autobiography. I couldn't believe how many emotions I felt. I knew I would laugh, and I laughed hard. What I didn't know was how much I would identify with the themes of his childhood.

I needed that today. Made me smile. From Cowboys and Aliens "God don't care who you were, son. He just cares who you are."

1. If that is you in the picture and not some model that you found online, stop and thank God for your good fortune. You are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. (And I've looked at more than I can count.) 2. Smile and have a better day. I'm sure that you don't feel like this all the time. Rants are fine, but…

That's 2 weeks after my 10K and 4 weeks before my half marathon. I'll mark it on my calendar. Great initiative!

Skim milk is a great way to get lots of nutrients without a lot of calories (80-90 cals per cup). Your body can absorb more efficiently after a workout, so it's a good time to get something healthy.

I had a change of heart. Tebowing If you are praying, then it's called praying. If you are not, then it's called mocking.

I changed my profile pic for this one. I think that women often feel sexy based on the feedback they get from men because we are so vocal to give it. I don't think that men hear what women are thinking as directly (at least not in my experience). I don't think that we should base our self-worth on what others think, but…

Well said.

I understand the annoyance with seeing certain words repeatedly, but feel free to use any words with me.

My mother-in-law made me stand belly-to-belly with my pregnant wife for a picture. In the 14 years I've been married and/or dating my wife, it was the only time she ever really bothered me.

I was running a 10 mile race once and a guy caught up to me and read the back of my sweatshirt. It said 'State Champs.' He asked if it was track or cross country. When I told him it was marching band, he said he couldn't lose to a clarinet and took off. (I didn't play clarinet, and I didn't catch him again.)

I always run with music. I normally run outside, but I think it's easy enough to see cars coming with headlights. I also wear a reflective vest and carry a light when it's dark.

People are idiots. Sorry for that.

I have two. When I was teaching fifth grade (and was about 20 pounds overweight), an aide (who was closer to 100 pounds overweight) told me that I had to lose weight and think of my children. Then she actually put her hand on my belly to emphasize her point. I would have lost my job for doing that to her. Two years ago a…

I don't think we are locked in to the guidelines, but most people need help getting started. I think it's very healthy to make your goals personal. I set mine after a health screen at work. I get most of my support/motivation from friend comments. Feel free to add me if you want.

Well said.

Over Christmas, my 87yo grandfather told me to "lean forward and keep moving your legs." Sounds like you're on the way. Nice work.

I don't know where you can find 5 more pounds.

That's a tattoo.

You have no vowels.

I like Pro Complete One V-Core. It is a little pricey, but it has three different types of protein in it, so it helps my appetite for a long time. I'm not on a program where I take it twice a day and skip meals, but I feel like it has made a difference in a little muscle development. It definitely helps me stay under…
