Mint oreos and salty things.

This is SO what I needed to hear right now. Great job, and good luck with all your goals!!

I lost my first 50 lbs and maintained that for a year. Now I'm losing again to get to my ultimate goal weight. Sometimes, excercise can get tedious, that's true. But it's those times when you just have to ask yourself if you really want to lose the weight and be healthy. If you do, you'll change something up. Join a fun…

REST REST REST REST also, Ice and elevate before and after excercise. Take a few days off to just ice/elevate/ibupfrofen. Then get on the elliptical for lower impact cardio. Let those suckers heal. Shin splints are not a "run through the pain and it'll work itself out" deal. The more you subject that injured area to…

I just worry about not eating enough to fuel my frequent-ish workouts if I am only eating enough calories for a sedentary lifestyle. I mean I want a deficit, because I'm here to lose weight, but I also trying to get out of a plateau, so I don't want to eat too much or too little.... You're making sense though. Maybe I…

Good point, but does the metabolism boost from frequent excercise warrant a bump into the lightly active category, or should I say that due to my job my metabolism isn't a roaring fire?? OR am I just overthinking this whole thing?

Thanks for taking the time to answer, everyone!!! I followed your advice, tahoemads, and stuck to the plan yesterday- it made sense the way you explained it. And I'm definitely going to add some intensity to workouts, and drink lots of water, just in case. Here's to hoping! (Also, I would like to point out that it was two…

THIS. THIS IS MY LIFE.

THIS. Where's the science?!

My background is in dance, and I think that's why I like a pretty dance/pop heavy FLORENCE+THE MACHINE "Kiss with a fist" (for mid-workout intensity boost) The Ting Tings "Great DJ" (for warm up) Britney Spears "Stronger" (for cheesy inspiration :)) and then a lot of: Little Boots, Lady Gaga, Make the Girl Dance, The…

Oh it's already been broughten.

It sounds like your friend is working through her own issues. Remember that friendship is a two-way street. You are upset with her for not remembering all of the changes you've made to your usual routine, but have you offered her the same support in her habits? I noticed your post and title are coming off as if you feel…

Just smile and move on. The one-upper tends to be someone who's self-worth is low, and has to constantly validate their lives to others, and mostly to themselves. If it makes you feel any better, if the one-upper is validating themselves to you, it follows that they think you have worth. If they didn't they wouldn't bother…

Great job! Keep pushing -- there will be challenges but seeing as your legs haven't fallen off yet, you're good to go!

Finished W1D3 last night! What a sense of accomplishment- for real I am way proud of myself. It was rough there for a minute, but I just had to take a sip of water and refocus on what I set out to do. I walk at 3.5 and run at 4.5 BUT THERE IS NO SHAME HERE. I am not strong enough in my heart/muscles/bones yet to increase…

Yay! I'm in week one (for the second time... I started it awhile back but then got the flu....) Anyway- Week One Day 1 down last night. Going to do Day 2 on Saturday. Does anyone know if it's okay that I did 2 minutes of walking between runs instead of 1.5? I have a really old treadmill and it changes speed…

Oh! I didn't mean to downplay the role health, fitness, and weight loss have in improving your mental strength and resiliency!! YOU DID AWESOME, YA HEAR??

Your brain's chemistry changes as you age. It's not uncommon when you are on medications for such a long time you may find they no longer work as well, or a lower dose/different medication is more suited. Or, as you've happily discovered, that your brain's chemistry has changed enough that medication is no longer needed.…

I started riding when I was 6, maybe 6 and a half. I've never had the money to own or lease a horse, which kind of stinks because I never got to ride whenever I want/bond with my own horse. Though, I suppose the plus side to that is that I've ridden a million and one horses in my long career of lessons. I rode english-…
