  • Thanks Mommyv45. Yes it is somewhat warm. I tend to be on my feet a lot while I'm home because I'm kind of a "go getter" and am constantly busy. I also run and lift weights. I never thought I had vericose veins, but I am somewhat pale and you can see some blue veins in my calves. So, maybe I am developing some. This…
  • So, what sort of device does everybody recommend to try to get an accurate measure?
  • Well I ran all year last year in the bitter cold and always dressed appropriately. I never felt unprotected clothing wise. But, the cold air really hurts my lungs and my doctor told me breathing in frigid air is really bad for your lungs. Especially when your oxygen intake is increased during physical exercise. We were…
  • Thanks for the tips. I usually run first thing in the morning (early) on an empty stomach. Then I eat a high protein breakfast after my run. I want to go into the race having had breakfast since it will be later than I usually run. Should I stick to protein like usual, or eat some carbs instead? LOVE spinach! I'll make…
  • I try to eat a protein packed breakfast, but it has to be healthy and portable. I usually prepare it as much as possible the night before. Here's a list of my "go to" morning foods: protein shake, whole grain toast with peanut butter, cottage cheese topped with fruit, a zip-lock bag of plain cheerios and a low-fat cheese…
  • OK, thanks for the replies. Here's a question for people that have used www.rockmyrun.com. Which track would you suggest in the 140-149 BPM list? Or, even the 130-139 BPM list?
  • This is a tricky one. I weighed less when both my boys were 6 weeks old than I did before I got pregnant. My trick was to eat extremely healthy, keep active and BREASTFEED once that baby is born. I nursed them both for a year without ever using formula. The fat literally melted off my body.
  • I use EAS = 130 calories and 23 grams of protein per scoop. Or Pure Protein = 140 calories and 25 grams of protein per scoop. I make my shake with 1/2 cup skim milk (adds 45 calories and 4 grams of protein) and 5-6 ice cubes. I mix it all up in my magic bullet and drink it after I run or work out in the morning. It's not…
  • The hardest part is the 15 seconds it takes to actually get out of bed and walk to your running clothes. After that you're up and excited for the run. So, just do it! Also, it doesn't take long before you just automatically start waking up at that time. By then, even if you intend to take a day off, you feel like you might…
  • I'm usually at least 30 grams over on my protein intake. The protein in my diet consists of a lot of skim milk, protein shakes (I like EAS brand because it's high protein, but low cal), eggs, greek yogurt, chicken breast, beans, low-fat cheese sticks, PB2, and cottage cheese. BTW, I contribute my weight loss to FINALLY…

  • Whoops. Sorry! Here's the link: http://she-fit.com/healthy-protein-bar-recipe/
  • Here's a link to a recipe. I haven't made them yet, but the macros are good and there aren't any "weird" ingredients :0)
  • This is kind of what I thought. I think I'll go for it! THANKS!
  • I love this video and level 2 is my absolute favorite. Does anybody know about how many calories are burned during any level of this video? How do you all record this work out in the exercise portion of your diaries? I've been posting it as a calisthenic/aerobic combo.
