I have the same mental issues with runs. I get myself psyched out over a 3 mile run sometimes, but definitely wig a little for anything over 6 miles because then I have to think about water and bathrooms. The fact that you are so sore is actually what stuck out to me. Even after my 18 and 20 I wasn't that sore. A couple…

Thanks :) And no crazy fads here. However, I have heard about these wraps....:laugh: (j/k)

This thread is pretty discouraging. I'm getting ready to start studying for my ACE test (personal training) and I'm currently still overweight. However, I was once 80 lbs heavier, I've committed to a healthier lifestyle and my habits and coping skills are BY FAR better than they were 5 years ago. I've run a marathon, 4…

I take the same multi! It's the only one I've found that doesn't upset my stomach or make me feel strung out.

I'd like to join in. Could use the extra motivation.

Hi! I'm Katie from Kansas City! I was excited to see this group exists. I ran my first mile (slowly and oh so painfully) in January 2012. I did three 5ks that summer and 2 half marathons in the fall. I'm doing my 4th half marathon on Saturday (June 1st) and signed up to do my first full marathon (KC Marathon) in October. I…

Congratulations! Cheers to you!

My experience working with a personal trainer has been life changing. It depends completely on the gym and the trainer. My trainer cares about every aspect of my health and helping me get strong and reach my goals. She's been a support system - offering encouragement, advice and a rational voice. AND she cares a great deal…

I use pure vanilla extract or pure almond extract in my yogurt. I tend to eat it with fruit or oatmeal, but the extract gives it just that extra something. If you feel like you need to sweeten it (I'm kind of opinionated about sweetening things) I'd start with something like agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup. I'm…

Sometimes I really think my mom's spirit is following me around. We have automatic lights and facets in the bathroom at work and frequently when I go in the lights will start to flicker and the water turns on and off by itself. Could also just be that the water is going on and off because the lights are flickering and the…

I'm currently covered in cat. I have 3: Gracie (8 yrs, DL, tiny and fluffy), TB ("Teebsy", 4 yrs, black cat - smart and cuddly), and Oliver (black and white like a cow, 4 yrs, kind of a clown and very talkative - his mom was a siamese) I got "my boys" because I thought Gracie needed companionship and the rescue said it…

Cheers to you! Awesome work!

I'm doing the Color Run (first day), The All-Star 5K, and the Glow Run. Apparently, I want to run my way through the month of July.

My first time posting! I just switched from Livestrong to MFP and I really like it! I'm down 2.4.lbs this week and a total of 32 lbs since last January (2011) About half of that has come off from December through now. I was sooo excited to see the scale at 212.6. Can't wait til it's under 200 :)

I say f' it! Record the weight from home when you got up. I usually weigh myself on Monday and do it 3 times in a row to see if I get the same number. I also *try* to focus on how I feel and how my clothes fit more than the scale. My personal problem area is my stomach and it discourages me time and time again that it…

Zombieland (I just have to think about that one and I want to work out) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (not the movie, but the TV show) Harry Potter (they run a lot and there are tons of stairs!)
