How inspiring! What a great accomplishment! I am training for a half in June, and my first 5k is in April. I am a new runner, and ran a mile for the first time in my LIFE on Christmas Eve. Yesterday I ran for 3 miles, so I am progressing :)

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I'm a newbie when it comes to running--just started a few weeks ago (ran 3 miles today), and I signed up for a half marathon in June. Sadly, I don't have any expert advice for you. My game plan is to keep doing what I am doing--eating mostly healthy, and eating back most of my…

I'm not a germaphobe, but if I am in a public restroom washing my hands, and someone comes out of the stall and heads straight for the door, I ask them very loudly, "Aren't you going to wash your hands?" Most pretend they don't hear me and walk out, but I am betting they are very conscious of that experience every time…

Andromeda and Cysso--thanks :)

What a great moment! Congrats on your hard work. **Side note: what does NSV stand for?**

Have a mile on me! :) What a great challenge!

Dedicated running shoes from a running store--where they measure your foot, watch you run, etc, is an investment. I just barely started running, and was using my regular shoes, and then a "mediocre" dedicated pair, and I developed terrible foot pain. I was bruising my ligaments and probably even the small foot bones…

Also, I was very inspired by a blog: runsforcookies.com. This girl was overweight when she decided to start running. She had a guest poster who was morbidly obese when she started the C25K program, and was 330 pounds when she ran her first 5k--pretty inspiring. You can check it out here:…

I had never run a mile in my entire life until this past Christmas Eve [ I almost died ;) ]. I really want to be a runner, and had heard that many runners didn't enjoy running until they were consistently running about 3 miles. So, I signed up for a half marathon in June to get me motivated. I am currently in the middle of…

PB2 is a powder made from pressed peanuts, with 85% of the oil removed, so it is a great peanut flavor with far fewer calories. It's made by Bell Plantation.

I *LOVE* PB2! Works so well in recipes, or as a topping. I made a chicken and veggie peanut noodle dish two weeks ago, and I have been craving it ever since! I will definitely be trying your recipe above soon :) Thanks for sharing!

I, too, am looking to transition to a mainly whole foods, plant-based diet. I came across just today a blog that looks promising: www.wholefoodmommies.com They have quite a few recipes to try, and I will be replacing several of my meals this week with some of their recipes. I look forward to learning additional resources…

I am scared of the protein powders, ever since reading the Consumer Reports report on all of the harmful things in them (mercury, arsenic, cadmium, etc), so I stay away from them--hated the taste anyway. Two sources I like (besides meat, nuts, and eggs--I can't do yogurt) are protein enriched pastas and Quaker's weight…

I'm sure it is so nice to be able to see the results of your hard work! Way to be an inspiration! Best wishes in your continued journey :)
