  • So does my hubby...we don't log it, and consider it a bonus. :)
  • Wow! Congrats on the great progress! You Look FANTASTIC! Great Smile too!
  • The C25k is definitely one of the safest and healthier programs to get into running...week to week, your muscles get stronger and you develop a good breathing pattern. Just remember, it’s easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. Don’t try to do more, even if you…
  • I agree...it's much more than what the scale shows, and I'm learning what works for me by adjusting my carb-protein-fat intake, along with my exercise regimen...but I am still a bit "scale-obsessed", and I really need to focus on weighing in only once a week. BTW SeaChele77, you look great! Keep up the great commitment! :)
  • Hi there, calling out from St. Louis! I am 5'10". I started out on New Year's Eve at 166 lbs, currently 144, and my goal is between 130-135. My goal also is to feel and be healthy as I train to go back into running. I eat amply and exercise about 3-5 days a week for an hour at a time. Good luck on your venture and have a…
  • Heard Not Afraid by Eminem on my way to work this morning (along with several other songs), but this one is sticking with me for some reason. :)
  • To start, congrats on wanting to step it up and continue your healthy lifestyle. It's absolutely normal to feel insecure about running in public. I've been there myself. There is a great program called "Couch to 5k". http://www.c25k.com . It's a 9 week program (can be done on a treadmill too) and it has helped a few of my…
  • great idea! ...and sounds Delicious! :)
  • great question. :) My husband and I will have a variety of things, depending on time and preference (all quick to prepare and averaging $3.00 or less): 1. fruit/veggie/protein smoothie with coffee and/or granola/protein/energy bar or 2. eggs, bacon, toast or 3. steelcut oatmeal with fruit and nuts or When really short on…
  • I agree. Also, I eat most of my calories, protein, and carbs early in the day, and it surprisingly keeps the energy level up.
  • Really informative and gives several logical reasons for a rest day or two a week. Thanks for sharing. My hubby and I traditionally rest 1 to 2 days a week and he performs different exercises each time (working different muscles each day). I alternate between running and pilates and the elliptical exercise. REST is…
  • Lookin' Great Baby! Mine says that I love listening to my tunes while I work at my desk. :)
  • CAVO is is an awesome group...and you're right, such nice guys! :)
  • Great songs and bands everybody...love getting on here and getting fresh new (and not so new ideas)! My playlist is a HEARTY Serving of: Seether, DMB, Disturbed, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Black Eyed Peas, Boston, Sick Puppies, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, ColdPlay, Linkin Park, Daughtry, Guns and Roses, Foo Fighters, Avenged…
  • I agree with some of the replies here...it really depends on the people and how the question was introduced into the conversation. If it's a circle of friends discussing health and fitness and such, then I think it's fine. However, if someone randomly throws the question out there to you out of topic, then I can only…
  • These are all great songs for running...thanks for helping me to freshen up my list. Here is my current list: Iridescent - Linkin Park Uprising - Muse Viva La Vida - Coldplay Enter Sandman - Metallica Bring Me To Life - Evanescence Ants Marching - Dave Matthews Band Devour - Shinedown Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold I Gotta…
  • I strongly agree with BerryH and LoreleiWalks...for overall health, exercise is important. I've lost 18 lbs in 2 and half months by following the exercise, healthy eating, AND eating your exercise calories. I sleep better, have more energy, and I have clearer skin, and I have lots of fun sharing these new habits with my…
  • [maryloo2011] YIKES. Jaw dropped with seeing your initial post as it is overly generalistic and pretty judgmental. I am an AMer... but to each their own. Anyone at the gym, no matter what time, is doing more than sitting on their *kitten* in front of the TV. [/quote] I agree with maryloo2011 and with most responses on here…
  • I pulled this from livestrong.com: Sodium, an essential mineral, and water are necessary components of a healthy diet. Both elements work with your kidneys to sustain fluid balance in your cells. Sodium acts as an electrolyte, or charged ion particle, that helps transmit nerve impulses, and water binds to sodium to fill…
  • I agree too...my hubby and I are doing well and we have our one little cheat/day too. :)
  • peanut buster parfait, oreo blizzard, and a chocolate dipped waffle cone... **major sweet tooth here** :)
  • I agree with iambatman41. I feel no side effects with this and I stay energized after one dose and it lasts longer than 5 hours for me.
