Try to go to restaurants that have their nutritional information available online. Find something that will fit in with your allotted calories and stick to that choice. Don't even look at the menu when you get there. Drink of lots of water the whole weekend. Most restaurants have crazy high sodium levels in their menus so…

These sound awesome! I think I may make them tomorrow with chocolate protein!

30K! Oh wow! I'm still working to that. I'd like to run a marathon one day but considering in September I was told not to run by a physiotherapist, I'm happy with these goals. What do you mean by "blazing fast"? Does that just mean that fast people run them or it a most downhill run so it's easier therefore faster?

It's the Acura 5K and Ten-Miler. It starts out near the Distillery district downtown and then heads out towards the Beaches. They haven't released the date for this years event but last year it was on July 14ish

Mirah, I added you! Maybe we'll see each other at the Mississauga Marathon? I was thinking of doing that 5K but my goal for 2011 is to run a 10K and 10-miler. The 10-mile I'm looking at is in July in Toronto so I wanted to give myself some time to get up to that point in my training. Hey Craig! I wanna try a Tri, but maybe…

I did too! I weighed in this morning and I was down 3 lbs. But I have also been sick with the flu and had absolutely no appetite so that's probably the reason for it.

I find that when i'm stressed out it causes me to be more tired. I just want to go and sleep away whatevber it is that's stressing me out. That said, I always feel amazing after the gym. I beat the stress out of my body and since i usually do my cardio alone it gives me time to think about what is bothering me and figure…

I'm a big fan of fat-free plain greek yogurt. Sometimes I'll add some frozen or dried berries to it for some sweetness. Also I love the Kaizen chocolate whey powder. I mix it in my coffee after my morning workout and it's like a delicious mochacinno! I'm drinking that right now actually!

Mmm sounds great. I love crock pot receipes!

I get that too. I'm only 5'1 so I think that has a lot to do with it. Currently, I weigh 146(ish) and so many people tell me that I should stop losing weight, that i'm "shrinking away". They don't know though that for my height I'm still considered over weight. Even when I started and I weighted in at 189 a lot of people…

What are ear staples?

I weigh myself Tuesday mornings right after I pee, lol. I use that as my "true weight". If I've been a little off track in my eating one day or just had a big meal I'll weigh myself before I go to bed to see what kinda of damage I've done. It helps me remind myself to eat better the next day and keeps me from straying too…

I tend to have the same thing for breakfast everyday. It's fast and easy and when it's the same thing I don't have to think about what to eat earlier in the morning. 2- 100g containers of 0% sugar free Yogurt 1/2 Cup - Frozen Unsweetened Blueberries or raspberries 1/2 Cup - Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal It's so good and I've…

The Polar HRM I have allows you to replace the battery on both the computer (the watch part) and the chest strap. My mom has an older model though that you can't replace the battery on the chest strap. Maybe these are reviews for older models you were reading? Either way I think the decision to buy a HRM is a great one.…

I also have a Polar HRM. I have the FT4 and it works amazingly. I've been using it for 4 months now and I can't imagine working out without it. In fact, I have a noticeably not as effictive work out if I do forget it. As for cost, I'm in Canada and got mine at Sport Chek for about 120 bucks. Completely worth it though in…
