Day 19. 9.5 mi run Day 20. Nothing. See day 19. :) Day 21. 30 minute circuit training.

Day 18. 30 minute circuit training. Plus some extra.push ups.

I use them to top cottage cheese as a post workout snack. Love the crunch they add and the combination keeps me full. I've been looking for low salt cottage cheese because the salt does add up.

I've been working out I swear! Busy with family stuff so I've been in bare-minimum MFP mode, but I have been getting my 30 minutes in. Mostly. Day 12 (Fri) 30 minute circuit training Day 13 (Sat) 30 min dog walk and 30 min walk to dinner & home Day 14 (Sun) nothing! Couldn't even get a walk in. Day 14 (Mon) 30 minute…

Day 11/30. Quick run in the morning. Only 30 minutes. But I did sprints. Tired!

Day 10/30. 30 minute circuit training. 1/3 of the way there!

Day 9. 30 minute run that turned into a walk when I met my husband and dog on the strand. Nice! He can sure walk uphill fast.

Day 7/7 walked my dog for 30 minutes. 1 week done! Day 8/8 30 minute circuit training.

6 for 6. 8.25mi run. 1 hour 23 minutes. It's the only day I exercise more than 30 minutes so I try to make it count!

5 for 5. Circuit training. 30 minutes.

Day 4 of 4. 30 minute early run. Tried intervals this time. 30 sec fast and 1 min recovery. repeat.

Day 3. 30 minute circuit training. Done!

2 for 2! 30 minute-ish run this morning. Feels good to be done with exercise already!

30 minutes of circuit training. Done!

I've run 4 half marathons. It's been awhile since I last ran one. But Im planning to run my next one in October with my sister. We usually finish around the 2 hour mark. Weirdly, maybe, I don't lose weight when I train. Only reducing my calories seems to help me do that.

I'd like to do this! I aim for 5 workouts per week and make it at least 4. Usually. I eat healthier on days I workout. Plus I like the extra calorie count. So 30 for 30 sounds great! If I can't fit my usual workout in, I'll just walk my dog for 30 min. Hope that counts!

I do this too. I got the idea from arecipe on food network. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aarti-sequeira/massaged-kale-salad-recipe.html But I usually use a kale and quinoa recipe I found. The quinoa tones down the kale I think. It's a bit of work, because I make the dressing too, but I usually double the recipe and…

I have a 'fit into' dress! I bought it when I was shopping with my daughter. It was her idea. I won't make it by Christmas, but I just hung it up in a more prominent spot to remind me. That's not a NSV yet. But this morning, I was doing (modified) pushups and saw a tiny muscle in my arm I hadn't seen before. Feeling pretty…

If you can run 10mi, I'm sure you can run 13.1. I've only run a few halfs, but my general running strategy/mental trick is... if I know I can make it halfway, I know I can make it home. Even if I have to walk/run. Which I never have because with everyone running and the excitement/encouragement of the race and the people,…

They feel weird if Im just walking around the house in them. Which I don't usually do. Once I get my shoes on and start running, they don't feel any different than regular socks. I've tried Wright socks too. Love them. But still get blisters.

I've had nothing since Friday. My husband always asks if I want a glass of wine at night. I've been practicing saying 'no thank you' in my head before he gets home. It's working! And I'm definitely less tired at night when I skip the wine. I'm getting used to my wineless nights. Tomorrow is a friends 50th birthday. So my 4…

I've tried all kinds of shoes and wicking socks. I always got blisters. The only thing that works for me is toe socks. Sounds like a weird fashion throwback. But they're made for runners. I buy a brand called ininji off amazon.

I needed it yesterday. A weird side effect of not drinking as much during the week is I can't handle as much alcohol on the weekend as I used to. So I don't do a good job of stopping myself and bam. Hangover.

I had a Salty Pear Martini on Saturday. It was gooood. I can easily have 2 and then wine with dinner, but I kept it to 1 Saturday. It felt pretty good just to enjoy/savor that 1 really good drink. And I didn't feel yucky the next day. The older I get, the worse I feel, even after drinking a little. Another reason for me to…

I'm in that range. Started about 1 month ago and losing slowly.

I'm on week 6 of BBG, also did 4 weeks pre training. I couldn't even complete 7 minutes when I started. Pretty out of shape. I'm feeling stronger now, but I haven't lost any weight. So I'm trying to focus on more on mindful eating and thought MFP would help. Happy to see some other BBG gals here!

Logged everything for 2 days. I have room for improvement also! Weekends are tough.

Me! I'm 168 and I can't believe I let myself get this heavy. I'm good with exercise. But can't seem to stop eating! Hoping mfp will help me get down to 140 at least. Maybe lower.

I'm in! I'm good at logging breakfast. Then I lose interest. This challenge is just what I need too!
