I usually do something like an entire chopped banana into a coffee mug, a scoop of ice cream, then some other seasonal fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc) or frozen fruit on top. A squirt of chocolate sauce and I'm good to go. Not an everyday thing, but for a once in a while treat I like it. Using a coffee…

Some things I like to use: an apple, an orange, a banana, a handful of dry cold cereal, a carrot, count out 10 M&M's or something similar, chew some gum, drink more water. Sometimes the urge to snack is related to me being slightly dehydrated. Sometimes it's just because I'm bored, so I change what I'm doing and the urge…

Edited to add total for the month to date. Couldn't figure out how to edit my original post.

Aiming at 1200+ for 2012. I have several trail half marathons and maybe a trail marathon planned.

January so far: 1/1 - 10.1 miles 1/3 - 6.4 miles 1/4 - 8.1 miles

It worked well for me. I'm glad we did it.
-
This looks like fun! I'll join with a goal of 120 miles. Happy running everyone!

Black and hot. I roast my own and this week I had a nice medium roast Bolivian. Next week I think it will be a dark roasted Sumatran.

Yes. We've replaced beef in our house with bison and venison. Much leaner and very tasty. Because it is so much leaner it doesn't really make a good burger. It does make excellent meat loaf when a little extra egg white is used. It's also wonderful for tacos or spaghetti or chili.

Steaks on the grill this year in lieu of the traditional holiday roast beast.

"Best" is clearly subjective. Depends on what you like. I prefer trails to roads so I tend to like trail races more. North Country in late August is fun. Trail Marathon weekend in Pinckney at the end of April is lots of fun. I've never met a trail I didn't like, so I will probably have a good time at any trail race in…

Logging the good, the bad and the ugly is the best way to go. It's best to be honest with ourselves or we'll never see the outcomes we want. Even a terrible guess at the calorie content is better than no guess. Sometimes though, life interferes and a day gets missed. It's not the end of the world. Just get back on the…

Another strategy I use for candy: I get things like M&Ms, Reeses Pieces or something similar in the normal size bags. I'll pull out a few pieces and then roll up the bag and put it away. Then I make those few pieces last as long as I can. It's amazing how when a chocolate craving hits, just a taste of it will satisfy me.…

<== mjsmith1223 You can find me in the BF, the Trail forum and lurking in L&O.

So, is the different constant correcting for estimated pace? I am kind of slow, so maybe a little lower estimate of burn is better?
-
^^This is something I am working hard to get better at. Not measuring and just mindlessly munching down the bag/box of whatever is my biggest weakness.

Hi ya Meagan!

Hi ya Chris. Nice walk.

Cadillac, NW lower.

Added. What part of Michigan are you from?
-
Stamkos. I'm not a fan of blank jerseys or the ones with my own name. If the player moves/retires, then I have a memento of their time with the team.

Interesting. In the past I've estimated the calories burned while running using a formula (.63 x body weight x distance in miles). I've always used the same for roads and trails because it's just an estimate anyway. Are you all using a HRM to more accurately determine calorie burn? It's good to know I can enter my own runs…

Great ideas everyone! I thought of something else tonight while I was out running: Knowledge. Educating myself as to the nutritional content of what I eat has helped me make better choices. I keep the nutritional info for all the common restaurants on my work laptop so I can quickly look something up when we're traveling.…

Hello everyone! My name is Mike and I live in Michigan. About 18 months ago I started on a journey that saw me lose 70 pounds, start working out, start running, and culminated in a couple of half marathons this past summer. Now I'd like to drop another 10-15 pounds and I just like hanging out with other runners :-)

Once a week for me. Wednesday nights at approximately 9 p.m. Not the optimal time of day, but as long as I'm consistent it's comparable over time.

Hi all! It's time for me to get back to logging so things don't get out of hand over the holidays. MFP gives me about 1500 calories a day which is pretty close to what CalorieCount.com was giving me awhile back. It just means I need to board up the kitchen so I can't get in there and snack mindlessly. Since I spend more…
