Hey! I forgot about it too. lol. I am very focussed on my training so i havent weighed myself this week. I feel good tho, so no complaints. i definately drink LOTS of water. good week.

So I went on the elliptical for an hour and 15 minutes, since the weather wasnt cooperating. My knee started buggin me so i iced it for awhile. hopefully the weather is better for my longer run on saturday. hope everyones runs are going good!:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

Great Job everyone!! Keep it up.:bigsmile: I personally have never ran in my life before, besides one training day in track and field in high school.:laugh: But I am using this half marathon as a goal. I know that I want my $50 t-shirt and my medal. And I'm really excited about it. I think I deserve it. For people that run…

Earliest Memory of having weight problems . . . I must have suppressed all of them. I KNOW there were times of being teased by boys that I wasnt anorexic like the rest of the girls in my class, but I was the athletic one so I just thought to myself "Well I cant be a twig to play sports now can I". I think it was a self…

YAHHHH! I actually got my butt outside and ran my miles today!! I am sooo tired, but it was so worth it and I even feel better than I did before my run.:bigsmile:

My husband is sick too, at home with a cold. I'm hopin that he doesnt get me sick, b/c i've been doing pretty good with keeping to the schedule for my runs. Just something else to overcome right? I'm just fighting sleepiness right now, might take a nap when i get home from work, but thats kinda risky b/c when i take naps…

Had my short 2.1 mile run today. I had some side cramps, so not enough water. I tried a gel pack before i went that my brother gave me and i dont know if it helped at all. im sure i would have noticed a difference if it was my long run day. i was more out of breath today tho, but i was going faster that i had other runs,…

Just finished my longer run today. It went ok, a little bit of side cramps but they went away. Ran 3.1 m (5km). Getting up there. gotta ice my legs and drink my water now. I was looking into gel packs with my brother, he sells MonaVie. So tomorrow we are going over to his place and he is going to talk to me about it. I had…

Wow!:bigsmile: Welcome all the new runners! It's so great to have this forum where we can talk to people in similar situations, from places that we normally wouldnt talk to. So GREAT!!:flowerforyou: I am also on my rest day today. Someone just told me that when you get side cramps it means that you are dehydrated. I didnt…

Ran 2.9 miles tonight. My hubby road his bike beside me. He was very encouraging, asking how I was, any cramping, shins . . . it was good. I went a little faster than Tuesdays run, and I still felt good. Its feels awesome. Feeling like this makes me KNOW that I can do this half marathon!!!:bigsmile:

Today was a rest day, so I went on the elliptical for an hour, goin pretty easy. Ready for tomorrow.

Congrats to you all for setting this goal!! This will be a great accomplishment for everyone. I can just imagine myself passing the finish line and feeling so proud. I am very excited about this!! Who knows, maybe I'll enjoy this process and attempt other half or maybe even a full marathon. One day at a time right? Thanks…

I wasnt going to weigh in today, b/c ive been feelin pretty crappy and my weight went up. 135.9 lbs. I am still quite stressed out, the weekend at the spa helped quite a bit for the time being, but being back to the city and into reality . . . the stress is still here. I think I started getting bored with my workouts, so…

Hey Canadians!! Weigh in today! 134.9 lbs. :laugh: lost 0.1 pounds since last week, which i find a little ironic b/c i was at my sisters all weekend, eating from their restaurant every day. I was so sick all weekend b/c of this, eating greesy food and whatnot. terrible for my digestion. feel a lot better now eating what im…

bump for the Canucks!!

Weigh In today!! 135.6 lbs. :bigsmile: same as last week. so im pretty content with that, no gain. A LOT of stress this past week so hopefully a weekend away will cure that, plus the weekend after we are going to a mineral spa to relax. desperately needed! My workouts are going great, arms really hurt today, went longer…

For Sure! Welcome!:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the help. I drank two bottles of water while i was still at work, and i have to admit that it really did help. I felt better for the rest of the work day and actually got some work done instead of listening to my stomach growling.:laugh: AND!!!!!!! I went to the mall after work and bought a new pair of jeans!!!!…

WoW, 15 lbs in 3-4 weeks is incredible! it took me a year to lose 30 pounds. Great Job! Of course you can join the group. We weigh in every wednesday with a new thread that says crazy canucks and the date. everyone posts their weight and how they are doing. we are here for support, so if you have questions just ask. if…

You have to have to have to eat your calories! You will not lose weight by not eating. doesnt work that way. i eat more now than i did before i started losing weight. my body thought i was in starvation mode and would pack on the pounds. thats why the food journal is soooooo important. also with your enimia, ask your…

I think if you have been doing it for23 days, you should be onto level 2 for sure. just try it, see how you feel. maybe you are ready and dont even know it.:happy: Of course food choices are apart of weightloss, I found that my changes in diet were more effective for losing weight than just exercise. but 30 day shred…
