I like using about 1/4 cup coconut milk and 2 packets of stevia. Coconut milk seems to give it a little sweeter taste...it is unsweetened though but I'd assume the red 70 calories a cup one wouldn't be too bad either...not home and can't remember what So Delicious one that is. I usually buy the green but hubby accidentally…

I am starting today too! Planned my meals for the week. Only problem I have is my challenge pack hasn't arrived so I borrowed containers from a friend but don't have the DVDs so I have to try and complete the workout on my phone since I'm up north at our cabin with no ondemand

I sent you a friend request

Quick post...heading to the farmers' market this morning with my girlies to pick out some local fruits, veggies, and flowers...first trip of the season so SUPER EXCITED :smile: Girls want to go to the zoo too...we shall see!! Want to get in a run today...hoping for at least 5 and save some energy for my long run tomorrow…

Meag...I TOTALLY agree with you! That is part of the reason that I stopped logging my cals and just started "living" my life again. I know that I had lost the weight but I was super stressed at keeping my weight there. So stressed that I lost touch with "me" and time spent with my family because I was so consumed with…

AWW....too sweet!!!

Ohhh......I like it!!! Nice words of wisdom...so TRUE!!!! Even though I'm finally maintaining and figured out how to balance my intake with my exercise without having to log my food I don't forget where I started...and I never want to go back there!!!! Thanks for posting that...things that make you go hmmmm :laugh:

CONGRATS on being so close to graduating!!! I teach 2nd grade and I completely know what you are talking about with time...It is hard to give both my girls all the time that they deserve...BUT I also realized that I NEEDED my time too (enters running). My oldest is in kdg in my school so I get to see her all day and my 2…

THANKS!!! You always have such kind words!! Have a little running/weight loss story to share. So this past Saturday I ran a 5K near the town where I grew up...don't really talk to a lot of the people that I grew up with any more other than on facebook or through random emails. Of all people to run into...I run into my…

So I know I have been pretty MIA this last month...trying to figure out how to do this without having to log my food and honestly I just haven't had the time to dedicate to logging on and responding to all the posts. I still am pretty consistenly reading through and trying to respond when I have a few "extra"…

I have her no more trouble zones and 30 day shred and am always tired and sore the next day...but like you said I know I'm building muscle even though I'm swearing at her under my breath while doing surrenders or plank twists!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!! :happy: Tara-way to be active and come up with fun new activities!! Meag-glad you went for the run today!! Great job!! AFM: Went for a nice 4 mile run in the rain today. Then went and had some retail therapy. Stocked up on summer clothes and dresses for my girls. Bought myself a new bathing suit…

You can do both at the same time...when I was training for my 1/2 I used Hal Higdon's training program. My workouts looked somewhat like this: Monday-strength and stretching Tuesday-speed intervals (run 1/4 mile intervals at a fast pace) they started out at 4 intervals and increased every other week ending with I believe 8…

Great job on your time and PR!!!!!!

Cait...WAY to GO!!!!!! Congrats on the SUPER 5K!!!! Proud of you for pushing through till the end!!!!! :drinker:

Megan...I started running on the TM and had a HARD time with the transition to the outside! In fact I HATED running outside. It does just take time and something new your body has to get use to! Now I hate running on the TM and would rather run outside in the middle of winter than run on the treadmill. Keep at it!!! It…

Aly-congrats on the engagment!! Enjoy this "planning" time and remember that this time is for you and your fiance....take some time for just the two of you!!! Meag-wondering how the not logging weekends has been going for you? I can't remember the last time I actually logged anything. I have been hovering around 120-122…

Quiet here on the homefront...still maintaining my weight and not sure that I will be logging my food anymore. I'm a little nervous about this but truly feel as though I have a handle on my intake! Ran 8 1/2 miles yesterday in SHORTS and a TANK TOP!!!! Glorious day to run!!! Then I spent the rest of the day outside with my…

Tonight-Cashew Chicken and Broccoli Tuesday-Salmon and Brussel Sprouts Wednesday-Oatmeal cinnamon pancakes (LOVE Breakfast for dinner!!!) Thursday-spinach egg bake Friday-hubby's gotta grill something...maybe venison steaks and asparagus?? Saturday? Sunday?

I'm 33 and no one has kicked me out yet!!!!!:laugh:

Meag, I LOVED it!!! It was SO much fun and am planning my next "FOR SURE" 1/2 in October. Looking around for another sooner, though! I have another race (5k) planned for next weeknd and one on the 30th as well. I have also printed out Higdon's full training program...who knows might give it a whirl?!?!?!? :noway: Hoping…

Good luck on the 1/2 marathon training!!! I just finished my first 1/2 on Saturday! I used the Hal Higdon Intermediate training and LOVED it!!! I am seriously considering starting to train for a full...LOVED it, LOVED it, LOVED it!!!! In fact I'm already looking for my next 1/2...listen to me ramble on!!

Happy Saturday everyone :love: I had my 1/2 Marathon today...and am SO proud of myself!!! I finished 13.51 miles (not sure why it was over) in 2:08. This put me at a 9.31 min. mile!!! I was shooting for 10 minute miles so I'll take it! :flowerforyou: I finished 78/189 in my age group. 350/913 overall female. 1005/1836…

Well it seems as though I am not alone in the MIA category...life hasn't been crazy for me or anything...just making a few decisions to spend more time with my family and to put them first again now that I know how to fit almost everything in. :laugh: I do have to make some sacrafices otherwise I wouldn't have anytime with…
