I have been working out at the gym for awhile, but have always avoided running on the treadmill. Even though I am pretty in shape now, I had this thought that I would only be able to run for 30 seconds and need to stop. Decided to give it a try tonight and was able to run for 10 minutes without much of a problem! I might…

A little over 50 pounds later.

I'm really not concerned about Lupus at this point. I don't have enough of the signs/symptoms you get with it, so I would be surprised. I also have some baseline fatigue, but I am also in grad school. I think that is more from constantly being stuck in a classroom and less related to other things.

No new meds. And I have been more active, so that could be part of it. I may have to try vitamins and see!

I'm a grad student! I'm not working, but my program does not allow us to have a job due to the workload. :# Started eating healthier last semester some, but been sticking to it more this semester. I go to our school gym usually 2-4 times a week and go on a hike 1 to 2 times a week. Some weeks are better than others, but…

For me, it was important to know how much I weighed at my highest. Even though it is tough, I think you can make it benefit yourself in the long run. I felt ashamed when I first saw my weight, but I have had a different attitude since knowing. It is easier for me to say no to food and make better choices because that…

I generally don't log black coffee or tea. I only log it if I start adding things to it (ex. creamer, honey, etc)

Just logging your food everyday no matter what you ate (including cheat days) is probably my best advice. This helped me to figure out what were the best things I could get in my calorie range and things that are a lot worse for you that you would think. Unless I just really want something one day, I have a pretty good…

I would definitely take a look at what foods you are eating and what you can swap it out for. For example, if you are eating bread in every meal, this is probably taking up a lot of calories. Maybe change to eating bread for one meal a day and add more fruits/vegetables to your other meals. I honestly think just going…

Thanks y'all! I'm going to try the 90 degree by reflex leggings first. They have a buy one get one 15% right now on Amazon too for those of you who liked them!

Anyone feel free to add me! :)

Thanks for the responses everyone! I do like to go outdoors, but it is a little cold where I usually run/walk (It is by a windy pond). I will definitely have to mix up some different playlists and listen for some classes on YouTube! :smile:

Just a heads up, I am the physician's assistant, so I break when they break. If they don't stop, I don't stop either.
