as long as you're not training for a race, i think its fine to run only 1 time a week. You're getting plenty of cardio from Zumba, so I think you're covered there. :) I am the same way - I run maybe 2 times a week - my 3rd day is sometimes a hike, sometimes a swim, sometimes running stairs - just depends on my mood. I am…

the other thing ' from a fitness perspective - how long can you hold a plank, how long can you hold a wallsit, how many situps/pushups, if you have an HRM, how long does it take for your heart rate to drop to normal after 3 minutes sustained at some specific heart rate.. these are all things my trainer assesses every 3…

the most reliable is the submersion methods - they are expensive (think 100 dollars or more a pop) if you can even find some place convenient to do it the easiest is probably ask at the gym if they can do caliper assessments.. They measure multiple places (back of your arm, your back above your waist, your thigh above your…

Id' be interested - I'm in Mission.. I'm going to start doing the KC Track club beginners run on Mondays - Missed last week, but plan to start next week.

Oh YAY! I'm doing the 5k - not ready for a 10 yet - there's a run in February outdoors around the downtown airport thats 4 miles - considering that one too, and would probably do it it if it werne't for iffy weather.

Nobody? Damn.

Thank you - I missed the button. Duh :) I'm registered now.

don't see any obvious place where to sign up.. maybe it's full?

I'm registered, but it remains to be seen whether I'll be able to run with my foot.

I'm tentatively in for this! I wanted to do it this year and it slipped past - but would like to do it next year!

Bummer, ok

Did you set up a team for the jingle bell run?

I've lost 92 with low carb (so far - about 80 to go) since Mid-March (along with a healthy workout schedule). I would say if you are losing weight happily at 50 g per day and you're feeling healthy and your blood work looks good- you probably don't need to keep dropping down to 10. My ex-husband was Type 2 diabetic and…

Count me in - just don't plan on me pacing during the run, I'm slow as molasses :)

I'm a prep ahead girl - I 'bake' bacon (on a cooling rack, nestled into a foil-lined cookie sheet - at 400 for 20 minutes) for the week, and put that into a ziplock bag with a slice of cheese (one of the sargentos reduced fat versions), and pour 1/2 cup of egg beaters (florentine flavor, southwest flavor or plain) into a…

I've got a blue dress with devil horns and tail :)

Anyone doing the Waddell & Reed this weekend? I'm doing the 5k but haven't actually trained in a month - woops :)

Is that the one indoors in the caves? I was thinking about it. Shall we do a big MFP meet up?

ohter standards are nuts, avocados, (or wholly guacamole snack packs), sugar snap peas when they're in season (use in place of chips for something crunchy you can dip into creamy dips), other crudite (like celery and broccoli for same). I've found these things called "pop chips" that are rice based, tortilla sized, and…

Ran my first chipped race this morning - still obsessively checking the race site for them to post the official chip times. My gun time was 49 minutes, so I think my chip time was about 48. Not all that fast (yet), but definitely ready to do the next one. (And better than I expected since I didn't ever really train on…

Cramer: I make a fauxtato salad (its exactly my potato salad recipe, but uses cooled steamed cauliflower that's been cut into potato-sized chunks... ) My non LC friends didn't even know the difference. I usually try to make sure there are veggies and dip, maybe sausage and cheese and mixed nuts for appetizers.. If I'm…

Breakfast - bacon, colby jack, and guacamole filled omelette Lunch - pork tenderloin with a chipotle type rub & sauteed zucchini Dinner - sirloin tips with mushrooms in a cream sauce and some green beans par-steamed and hten sauteed with bacon and onions. Yum :) Probably a little sugar-free chocolate toffee (Love Russell…

hi all - anybody believe SI saying we're gonna win a playoff game? what was it about the SI jinx? Does that only apply to baseball? uhm yah, Texas girl who has lived in KC almost 13 years; been on MFP about 6 months. Play sand volleyball (Martin City) 2x a week during season, and trying to like running (let me know if you…

Here! Live on the KS side in the midst of it all. Work Crossroads though. Local peeps should add me!

bump?

Thanks! Anybody else have any ideas!?

(even if you're not a coach..but have worked with one...)

That sounds great! Let us know how they turn out :)

My trainer and I put together my schedule, and her recommendation was to strength train whole body at least 3 days a week - that for general weight loss and fitness, its best to work each muscle 3 days a week, not split it out and only get it once..) M: Run c25k (30-35 mins), strength train full body about 40 minutes T:…

Today is my usual breakfast: eggsanbacon, and a slice of cheddar lunch: spinach salad and a grilled chicken breast (ho hum) dinner: squash lasagna (zucchini, seasoned tomato sauce, mushrooms, ground beef, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan (and an egg)) This will pretty much be the routine for the week - with a meal out or two…
