because there is less guilt when you know the other person is having the junk food too. It's only sabotaging if you choose to let it affect you. Just say "no thanks" and go back to whatever you're doing, he'll take the hint eventually, and possibly eat less of it when he starts subconsciously following your example.

Feel free to add me if you want, or toss me a message and I'll share my half marathon training plan (just implement it till you get up to the 10 mile mark) the biggest thing to do is start following a plan and increase your long runs each week until you reach your goal. Also second the running at an incline if you're on…

I'm here daily and have been doing this for quite a while now- am always up to motivate and answer questions, feel free to add me!

Could be this but could also be problems further up. I get tightness in my hips and lower back that translates to foot/heel pain in the mornings when I get up (because my lower back tightens up when I sleep). If stretches don't work go find yourself a good physio/massage therapist!

I mostly run and cycle, but I also swim and do weights (the latter not as frequently as I should) I love the variety but running and cycling are my go to exercises, I think I'm slightly addicted to the high calorie burns

you look fabulous! kudos!

I'm with you on the moths, it's the way their wings flutter and their creepy hairy bodies...bleh and basements, particularly when I'm home alone, I won't go down there at night if no one is in the house with me. I also can't stand the sound of scraping ice, like when you have to scrape off your windshield, totally gives me…

I loved Born to Run, not completely technical but entertaining and very motivational! I also recommend looking at nutrition for marathon running for that one Nancy Clark's Food Guide for Marathoners was a great investment!

halloween? A woman escapes her female-only society by going to work for a rich guy. She manipulates the talents of his kids to gain his attention and through some killer dance moves and playing hard to get eventually gets her man. When she finds out that he is being sent away on an extended business trip she stages an…

the transition is tough but totally worth it, it definitely took me a few weeks to transition to the road when I first started, though after taking a running hiatus for a year or so when it came time to start up again I chose road first, makes for much more interesting runs! Give yourself time, pretty much everyone feels…

Eat local and enjoy! this is an experience like none other. I lived in Paris for a year and had a boulangerie (bakery) across the street from my apartment. I ate a baguette every single day, and indulged in cheese and chocolate regularly (would also have indulged in wine but am allergic to grapes). The pastries were…

people who don't put their shopping carts away, especially when they leave them in the middle of a parking space and the corral is 10 feet away!

I love to get in a good run at lunch and try to take the stairs as much as possible. As soon as all the snow melts and the temperature gets above stupid cold I'll start biking to work again, 17km each direction.

I'm a big proponent of proper breakfast before a long run, and proper fueling during. I find a bagel with peanut butter and a banana before my run and a pack of Gu Chomps or other gummy equivalent during the run (when doing 20K+) works well for me, that and making sure I replace enough of my fluids and electrolytes. There…

as with all analogies there are always exceptions.

it's all about the transition, keep at a slow and steady build, work on your distance and your pacing first, you can pick up speed later! Good for you for finding ways to make it fun though, you're much more likely to stick with it if you anticipate doing it!

I think they're in 22nd place now- vote!

voted! Am sharing the link on facebook to try to get more votes.

I'm usually the one who brings in the goodies, people don't tend to pressure you if you have your own stuff on offer! (and nope, I don't usually succumb to the temptation to eat it, it just becomes background stuff and keeps my coworkers happy).

ha ha I never regret the food, I just do penance exercise. Right now I think I may be gestating a large food baby from the poutine I had for lunch though...groan!

I ran my first marathon 50lbs overweight and had dropped 40 by my second marathon, you can definitely take the weight off while training. Your calories seem kind of low though, I recommend reading Nancy Clark's Food Guide for Marathoners, I've been following her recommendations (which actually had me bring up my daily…

this is marvelous! If only the guilt over food choices was fat burning...

a banana and a glass of chocolate milk usually does the trick for me. Protein, carbs, and potassium!

I run for the most part, but I'll walk if I need to, I also stop when my dog needs to, when the lights aren't in my favour and if I get a cramp. Walking at any point definitely doesn't preclude you from being a runner. If you run, you're a runner, whether you're fast, slow, an interval runner, a long distance runner, a…

only if it was accompanied by a card reading something like: "because I'd love you more if there were less of you" But then I ask for workout gear ALL THE TIME. Especially running shoes!

I'm just hoping that Martin does not go the way of Robert Jordan and die before the series is finished. That would be tragic!

I have 2 marathons and 7 halves under my belt, average about 1500+ km a year running (probably equal to double that cycling) and do it all with a 32G breast measurement and a generous (though more toned and shapely than previously, I'll admit) derriere. Body glide and well fitting sports bras are a must. If you are blessed…

usually in zippered pockets, though in the summer when I wear as little as I can I will sometimes tie my house key to my shoe laces and stick my phone in the built in front pouch of one of my running tops (it's a cycling tank that I use for several sports) I just saw yesterday that road ID has a pouch that you can buy to…

and one more...can you do this one with jazz hands?

oooh have one on me!
