The two things that I think are most important for knee health as a runner, good shoes and a foam roller. Get fitted for the proper shoes and foam roll your legs often, especially the T-band. I ran for a couple of years and I started having knee pain. I got a foam roller and started using it regularly and no more pain.…

Today is a great day to start making you a priority. You got this! Remember to drink your water and one slip up isn't the end of everything. I went to a talk that a girl who lost 120 lbs in 18 months gave and the best take away from it was that each meal is an opportunity to start over. If you screw up at lunch, don't…

I totally relate. The weekends kills me. Too busy, too many cocktails and everything is for nothing. Feel free to add me. I just need a month of clean eating to maintain a loss because I am stuck.

A friend of mine that runs marathons says to worry about increasing time slowly. As an example, if your goal is to run for 30 min and you can run for 15 minutes, try and run for a minute longer. As you endurance grows, add in longer increments; if your running for 30 minutes, add 5. I am training for a marathon (my first!)…

The key is to plan ahead. I am a creature of habit and I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch most days. Lately lunch is an apple or pear, an orange, a lit and fit yogurt, string cheese, and some sliced chicken breast - all of which I eat throughout the day at my desk. When I grocery shop I try to think about all my…

agree - this is also why I do them on my grill because the mess just drips down into the flames and burns off.

I wash the outside and grill them at med heat for 1 hr - 1.5 hr depending on size. I like them to be really soft so that the natural sugars come out. As longs as they cook up like that I peel the skin off and eat them as is. Or lately I have been cutting them into 1 inch cubes, skin on and washed, I grate frozen butter…

Kids are wonderful in that they are adaptable... I would suggest that Dad get her a bed big enough for the two of them. Bed time should be very routine; bath, brush teeth, read a story, lights off. Dad lays with her until she falls asleep. When she is asleep dad gets up. If she wakes up it is back to her bed and dad stays…

I will treat myself to a Pepsi once in a blue moon and it is so sugary and sweet and artificial tasting I usually have about 3 sips and I am done.

McDonalds, Burger King and KFC - I cannot eat it. Wish I felt that way about Taco Bell! I also can't eat anything but organic, free ranged chicken. Perdu or Tyson chicken tastes like rubber. Yuck! I've been cooking with ground turkey instead of ground beef for years and I prefer it, but I can't give up my cheeseburgers!

i am bad with numbers - what I meant was 1,400 - 1,800! Lol.

I think it is important that when you talk to them about any of this that you focus just on your concern for their health, and maybe you work on one person at time, starting with your son with the health issues. Meet with the doctor and have the doctor talk to him about his health and then met with a nutritionist so that…

Look up the 30 day squat challenge online. I only made it to day 16 but I totally noticed a difference. I will revisit it after my training for my first 1/2 marathon is done in October. I found it made my legs feel heavy and I was tripping over my own feet which doesn't mix well with running.
