There is nothing wrong with eating carbs...comples carbs that is! Have oatmeal with a hard boiled egg for breakfast instead of granola. Have a turkey sandwich for lunch, just put it on whole grain bread, with hummus instead of mayo and have veggie sticks instead of chips. You can have carbs, just pick the right ones and…

totally agree! I'm addicted to spin class. Its definitely for everyone as you are in control of your own intensity. I found it has really helped with my running as well. I'm training for a half and my stamina and speed is amazing since I started spinning. Go for it! It is so much fun!

This morning I ran 15km in just over an hour and a half!

I have spent too much time in hospital with a sick child. Want to do as much as possible to keep healthy and stay out of hospital. I always say to my kids " if you are kind to your body, your body will be kind to you". You only get one life...MAKE IT COUNT!

I am 3 weeks to a half and over the years I've played around with different stuff. Once you get your base running down then you can experiment with gels and stuff. I found Triple Threat Power Bars cut up into 8 small pieces work well for me. I take two every 6 km or so with some electrolytes ( I prefer ELOAD). Make sure…

It all comes down to how bad do you want it? If your husband won't go with you, grab your Ipod (or whatever) and make it your time. You can find all the excuses in the world but if you REALLY want it the excuses are just road blocks.Maybe when he sees your amazing progress he will want to join you. Just imagine how great…

As a mother of a child that has battled cancer 2x in less than 3 years...ALL CANCERS SUCK! Breast cancer seems to get the most recognition but there are so many WARRIORS fighting all types of this horrible monster. Children don't get any recognition. Does anyone even know that SEPTEMBER is CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH…

I have been running for years. Currently 3 weeks left of training for a half. Sounds like you have shin splints. I have chronic splints from a bad sprain years ago. Stretching is so important to get you through it. Icing afterward is super important as well. Make sure you stretch the calf muscles which are attached to your…

I have that pproblem often, it is usually caused by muscles that are too tight and pinching somewhere in your neck or back. Usually a visit to my massage therapist fixes it. Hope this helps.

Stress for sure causes weight gain. Cortisol is a hormone in our body that helps regulate insuline. Cortisol is also the stress hormone. Our bodies will release more cortisol when we are stressed. My suggestion is to work out more intensely during periods of stress to combat this change in hormone release. When my son was…

I'd say that if it's working for you then stick with it. Better to lose weight slowly and stay motivated then to be starving and binge. You will get discouraged from being so hungry then mad at your self for going over that CRAZY 900 calorie restriction. If it were me I'd stay with what works. Good luck either way....and…
