I love these challenges you come up with!

In the face of no "real" diagnosis, my doctor put me on a gluten free diet thinking I may have non-celiac gluten intolerance. She wants me to follow strict gf for 6 months and then test my nutrient levels. My endoscopies are normal, but I am unable to absorb most nutrients and lack B12, Vitamin D and Iron amongst others.…

For anyone in the MD/ Wash D.C/ VA area looking for something a little different: Tea on the Tiber, a Victorian Tearoom in Historic Ellicott City has a GF Menu. It's a little more expensive than their traditional tea but worth every penny. They have the most amazing gf scones and sandwiches. They also have their gf bakery…

Well they're sext too, aren't they? :love:

I have to fess up - I'm sure my friends and I were a strange sight when we were training for the Disney Princess Half Marathon and went to the gym in our tutus and tiaras to give them a test run on the treadmills to make sure everything would stay in place. There were 4 or 5 of us running next to each other on the…

I like this and it is so true! :happy:

Thanks for the posts everyone! I'm at day 5 and so far so good. Have felt a little sick and shaky at some points, but I think it's because I'm having some withdrawal symptoms and also because I have not learned yet what my nutritional needs are balanced with my exercise regimine. I have decided to just have fun with this…

I'm new - 2 weeks in and LOVING it!!! :heart: Best advice, read everything, listen to the trainers and push yourself based on your own strengths - don't compare yourself to others. The beauty of getting started with CF is that you have the ability to scale the workouts to your level. Never let the exercises intimate you;…

Omg. Inspiring to read. I was diagnosed yesterday with gluten sensitivity. Not done via lab tests but by process of elimination. Per my doctor I need to start the gluten free lifestyle. Reading your post is great. From the "I have to give up...." to the symptoms you listed. Reading someone else's account makes me think…

Just curious....why that workout tonight? I haven't seen a WOD posted yet. Any info you can share wtih this newbee is appreciated :happy:

I'm in for less than a week and I'm already addicted. If I'm going to be addicted to something then this is the way to go! Can't wait to see what tomorrow's WOD is....

@ lifeinDC....if you are interested in a fun fitness activity in your area, check out the Color Run 5k in DC Sept 9 or Oct 21. Looks like a blast!

You continue to amaze me daily with your perseverance and limitless good nature. Rock on Slinky! :drinker: How is your c25k going? One thing you forgot to do is to give yourself kudos for the strides you have made in cardiovascular and strength health. You are doing more exercise than previous and, I think, you are…

I make mine with chopped egg whites and then add in store bought Greek yogurt based tziziki sauce. Yum! Tons of protein and low calorie.

Nice job getting started! I hate swimming and it's my weakest event. I'm looking forward to checking out the website also. I've been doing my tris side stroke!!! I need all the help I can get...lol!

It's the Athleta Iron Girl Series. All women events - which is better for me since I am not a strong swimmer and I get intimidated by the guys :ohwell: The one I do is a 0.62 mi swim - 17.5 mi bike - 3.3 mi run. I agree with the other posts; pick a first event that is achieveable. If you want to jump right into tris, start…

I just popped over to my email and this link had just come in: http://www.athleta.net/chi/2012/02/27/athleta-iron-girl-training-guide/ I haven't looked at it yet, but I've done 2 Iron Girl Sprint Triathlons and loved them! Hope it has some good tips for you.

Since your overall goal is a triathlon, start by getting a beginner book. Lots of great tips. If you want to start slow, work on each activity once a week; one day work on your running, one day get on a bike and one day get in a pool. Don't go all nuts and buy a super nice bike until you know you like it. I did all of my…

My experience, for what it is worth, is that many patients cannot have the apron removed by a plastic surgeon because it is considered cosmetic which is traditionally not covered. However, if there are 1.) problems associated with the hanging skin i.e. rashes, excoriation, etc developing due to rubbing or 2.) you go see a…

HA! Now what was I doing before I started reading all of this......

Okay - I've been on here for 30 days and instead of losing interest, I'm finding myself addicted and, for once, following through with a program! To tell about me I'm just copying and pasting my profile. About Me I've been married for 17 years to a great guy and we have 3 wonderful kids. I have been on the weight gain/…

Ever hear of skinny fat? A person working out, regardless of their size, is much more attractive than those who think that just b/c they are skinny they have rockin bodies. So, agreed...pure hard work, effort and sweat = sexy! Love it :love:

I'm doing the princess half too! Can't wait :smile: This is my second year and our group goes all out with the tutu and tiara thing...lol...it's quite the sight to see! Anyways, back to the topic at hand, when I did my first triathlon, I wore my medal for a full week. Now I proudly display my 13.1and TRI magnets on my car.…

I haven't registered yet but am thinking about doing the Frederick half and the Iron Girl Half for the titanium challenge. But there are so many events that I also want to do like the Clydes 10k and warrior dash that I don't want to bite off more than I can handle. How does everyone decide what events they are signing up…

There definitely needs to be a balance throughout the day so you don't run into the afternoon and evening hunger abyss. I try to eat more of my protein earlier in the day. I often start the morning with a greek yogurt and follow that with a mid morning protein shake. The protein helps you keep that full feeling. My…

I had to look up verracus and now feel more informed so thanks for that tidbit of info :wink: At some point we lose ourselves which then leads us into groups and apps/ websites like this one so that we can get some relief from hearing about other people's verrucas (I really like that word and think it will get me a TON of…

Also check out the Runner's World website. You can plug in what you are running now and what your goal is and it will give you a training program. I found it to be very helpful as I planned my first half marathon last year. Good luck! :smile:

Nothing! ...and be happy when I look in the mirror... :blushing:
