  • I'm doing Keto as well! I recently moved from Nj to NC so my routine is all messed up but I am getting back on the program starting today.
  • It gets easier. Repeat if you have to. I'm repeating this whole week since I had to take a little break with bronchitis. It's frustrating but I'm not in a competition with anyone but myself. I just want to be a runner. It makes me feel good. Good luck! Feel free to add me.

  • I would listen to your body- if you feel like you can I guess you could move on but keep in mind that rest days are important in running. If you like exercise everyday you could always incorporate another activity. I've read yoga is great for runners or anything that works the core- it makes you a better runner.

  • Since I don't think I will be at it again until Saturday, I plan on repeating Week 5 day 2. It has been my favorite run to date and it was a comfortable pace...ill do that a couple of times and try and tackle day 3. Day 3 kicked my butt lol

  • I don't think too slow is even possible- go at your comfortable pace. I found a great article the other day on Pinterest that explained the mistakes of new runners and it went into detail about how sometimes you go too fast because of excitement or self consciousness but we should find a pace that is comfortable enough…

  • I started it too once before and had to start over but I've never gotten this far before! I'm hoping I am back to feeling better soon- I have been so consistent...I don't want to slip out of my good habit

  • Like others have suggested- I would incorporate lifting. It's not all about the number on that scale- I know it's hard because I get hung up on it too but lifting will tone you, and while you may not loose pounds, you will lose inches. :)
  • Thank you for your feed back. I am really considering getting the cerification and maybe holding it at a hall or fire house
  • I am a coach as well. It's my first month and it has really been working for me. Having to be a product of the product really motivates me. I get to use my success to help someone else.
  • Feel free to add me! My total goal is just over 50 pounds :-)
  • You look amazing! Great job. I have been thinking about doing insanity for a few weeks now- and you have just inspired me to do just that. I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas!
  • Thanks everyone for the input! I figured it would be super hard but I'm thinking it will be okay. I also liked the fact you don't need anything else- just the DVD
  • Jaz- I haven't but I think I will now. I just want something that is a decent enough workout for everyday while I'm stuck in doors for the winter.
  • I started training for my first 5K in August. I can honestly say- I still don't "like" it. But, what I do like is the amazing shower I get to take that i worked HARD for. I enjoy running a little farther every week, and the sense of accomplishment at meeting my little goals along the way. I enjoy my time outside on the…
  • I'm in the same exact position! And I even tried to prepare. I usually jog (my first 5K is on thanksgiving), so i figured I would use my elliptical this week to get me thru the bad weather- well I could not find D batteries anywhere. So that idea was out. I had every intention of jogging while out of work but then with the…
  • People are really mean, and in general suck. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. try and remember that it's a reflection of THEM not YOU.
  • I'm kinda-sorta close to you! But I am in Northern Jersey :-)
  • It is a great feeling...ironically happened to me last night. I used to live with my grandma before I got married and I was going threw my old closet. I left so much stuff because it didn't fit anymore. It fits now tho! I came home with a whole new wardrobe...just in time for fall/winter.
  • I coat my chicken with either sour cream or greek yogurt (whatever I have handy) and then use panko bread crumbs, spray with cooking spray and bake for about 20 mins- love it!
  • I sounds good! Do you have the recipe?
  • I run alone on a trail. I carry pepper spray- mostly for bears but I would use it on a person if need be :-)
  • Stick with it! It gets easier! I used to dread jogging, now I really enjoy it and I am up to 2.25 miles (my first 5K is Thanksgiving morning!)
  • Hi John! Feel free to add me :-)
  • My friend gave me this recipe and I LOVE it! (you can use as much fish as you want but, I make it with one filet) 2 Tilapia Filets 1 box couscous (I really like near east garlic/herb) frozen spinach (optional) foil condensed cream of coconut fresh ginger Easy peasy: Take one box defrosted spinach, split between 2 foils…
  • Firstly, I am very sorry for the pain you must be experiencing. Stress and life has a way of getting in the way of our plans. If you are feeling that sick, I don't really see anything wrong or abnormal with the fact you are having trouble keeping food down. Maybe try some toast, soups, yogurts. Maybe treat it like you…
  • wtg! Looks really good!
  • So sorry for the loss of your former home but wishing many blessings and beautiful memories to be made in the new one!
