I head out on June 1 to my mystery destination. All I know is Virginia. This gives me a couple of weeks to try and come up with some healthier eats for the trail

I know I have some contraptions that you wear on the toe that supposedly over time will "straighten" a bunion out. I don't know if they work or not. Not sure if surgery is the only option. I had a friend that had the surgery but was pretty much off her feet for quite a few months.

which pad did you get. I have the neo-air and it's been fine for me although I don't get out when it's real cold.

Most anti shock are the twist lock which can collapse at times. Generally pretty easy to fix though. Black Diamond has a pair of flick lock that also have anti-shock which I don't believe the Leki's do (although that could change) Whenever I get new poles I will be getting the flick lock. Do not, I repeat, do NOT get the…

I have no tips. I know she wasn't wearing sturdy enough shoes. I wear boots but I do believe a good pair of trail runners can offer the support you need. The funny thing is, she wasn't even walking. She was standing at the overlook and took a step and it happened. You are going to have an awesome trip.

I did the Maryland section in 2008. It was a great section. My hiking partner broke her ankle up on Weaverton Cliffs on our first day out so be careful. You are going to love it.

I define "clean" as not processed. Unlike the above poster I can't afford organic everything so I pick and choose. I eat real cheese instead of the sliced stuff that comes in a wrapper. Real chicken instead of nuggets. Make my own potato chips etc. A typical meal schedule for me (when I am doing good) Breakfast: (which you…

What leg exercises are you currently doing? You may be one of the ones that just builds muscle real easy in their legs.

I do my cooking 2 times a week. Things tend to dry out after a few days especially meat. And I would be nervous about certain things past a few days.

I love meetup. I used to lead hikes for the Traildames group in Georgia. I am used to hiking with women but now that I am in TN I have signed up with a co-ed group. Kinda nervous about it sine I tend to be slower.

Hi fellow hikers. My name is Melissa and I live in Knoxville now. I have been hiking and backpacking for about 5 years now. I try to do a week long trip at least once a year but usually only get for 2 or 3 days at a time. I leave for a 12 day trip in a little less than a month, Most of my trips are along the Appalachian…

yea, I think I will be skipping these. I can barely do a correct burpee yet so it would not be a wise decision.

Lately every day seems to be a cheat day for me. But tomorrow is a new day. Anyways, I do 2 cheat meals a week. This allows me the opportunity to hang out with some friends during the middle of the week or if I have a meeting or whatever and then I have one on the weekend after I weigh in. It helps to keep things in check…

I just got an email from her and replied a short and sweet message back.

Thanks. I will try widening a bit. I know it will come in time. I have the mobility site bookmarked. I guess I just need to go actually read it :)

Mine is short for my blog JustAnotherGirlWithABlog = jagwab

I am new to CF so take what I say with a grain of salt. Maybe you need to mix things up. Instead of 5 days of CF try 3 days and 2 days of some other form of cardio, tabatas, intervals, hell even zumba if you like it. I am a big believer in mixing things up but I have exercise ADD. I can't do the same thing day after day.…

Thanks for the share, That was fun

You can eat nuts on paleo. I know that I could never go full paleo. I enjoy food too much. I am doing a personal grain free challenge for the month of February, I will still enjoy my beans and dairy this time. I think the key is finding what works for you and your lifestyle.

I am a last placer too and I don't care as long as I give it all I got. I have only been to 3 classes so far

I just started Crossfit this week. I go to a new box in Knoxville called Crossfit HTK. I have nothing to compare it to but like the owner very much

First, You don't want the generic of the medication. You need to get the Synthroid and not the Levo. There can be too much discrepancy between the generics and the name brand. Remember that it can take a while for you to find the right balance of meds that work for you. You shouldn't have any side effects from the meds.…

I always click on side lateral raises. I have gotten less clicky when I really started to take the time to stretch and foam roll. And making sure to drink adequate water.
