Our gym trainer promotes...... Eat Breakfast like a King Eat Lunch like a Prince Eat Dinner like a Pauper So make breakfast your largest and go down from there. I still haven't mastered this...

Only ones I eat are: Honey Nut Cheerios Fiber One Raisin Bran or Honey Nut Clusters Tried Kashi and it was like eating tree bark.

Hey I like that idea, running faster than my age !! Haha I am consistently at about a 12 minute mile. Slow, but working on it. It may be a marathon pace, but since they are running 8 times further that doesn't really make me feel better. Haha You are doing great !!

Holy Moly !!!! SLOW it down !!! I am on week 9 and I still don't get over 5 MPH. But then I'm a slow turtle. As others have said.. it's not about speed in the beginning. Start out slow and add a small amount each week. You'll probably still pass me in a race... HA HA H A

Check out your local running store. Ours has all the local races on their website.

You did NOT bomb out... you were out there trying and that's GREAT !!! Slow down... even walk if you have too. It's not a race to finish fast. And work up to the hills. If you have a fairly flat area, how about just running back and forth on that ?? I am slow. I could probably walk as fast as I'm jogging. I call what I do…

Apples Sargento cheese sticks greek yogert Apples Diced peaches milk eggs bagel thins More cheese sticks Peanut butter More apples Thanksgiving apple pie - soooo glad it is all gone !!

Wowsers.... that is an awesime time. I am on Week9, so should be graduating, but I did it on time, not distance, so not making a full 5k yet. My turkey trot time was 38:39, which is actually a little slow.er tnan my last one. The hills did me in again. Do you have another race on the calender ?? I am doing Jingle Bell run…

Cold at the start around 45 degrees, but warmed up as I ran. Killer Hills... I finished in 38:39. A little slower than previous race, but still had fun. Now I wanna do the Jingle Bell Fun run.

Wowsers..... I think I amat about 1200 and that is without dessert. Lots of guesstimates so probably too low. I have done a Turkey Trot AND a 30 min walk, so offset it a little.

Yup... that 2am Peeeeee call. Gotta put my phone somewhere elae do I don't check. I have been known to hide under the blanket like a little kid so the phone light doesn't wake up hubby. Lol

BREAD BASKETS... garlic bread, fresh bread, bread sticks, fresh rolls.....

I use our work gym and have the same thing. But since I go at 6:00am it's not quite as bad. Not as many crazy people that early ... I say it lasts thru February... and we also have our outdoor runners come back in because of weather.

Awesome !!!!! You are a winner !! My city is full of huge, long hills. I try, but always end up walking up. Turkey Trot on Thursday and once again there are killer hills. I have done 3 - 5k's and still very slow, but improve by a minute each time. Just keep up the great work !! You are out there working on it while others…

Picked up my race shirt and bib number today. Even more exxxxxxcited today than I was on my earlier post. Gonna be awesome awesome !!!! I am hoping to maybe get a 35 time which is still slow. Butwho cares cause it is gonna be FUN !!!!

Don't notice. Don't care. Don't shave my own until it gets really bad. Not really looking at other people's body parts....haha

Yupper !! So excited !! 5k on turkey day. Can only talk one member of my family into doing it, but gonna be fun. We have killer hills in the city, so I will do my usual... walk the ups, run the downs and straights !! I am at about a 12min while which is slow, but getting better. Gobble Gobble !!

Between the new high price shoes and themoisture wicking shirts I have bought... now I am thinking phoooooey... I need to buy moisture wicking hat and gloves. Thought this was supposed to be a cheap exercise... haha. Great for getting out there!!

After watching my dad's puppies rolling around in a plate of it, I can't it eat. He used CC to wean the puppies from their mommy.... Cute and disgusting at the same time.

I will be doing a 5k Turkey trot that morning and as slow as I go it is definetly a trot!! Haha. And we have no family here, so not a huge all day meal. I still try to make all the standard favorites. I will log it, but not gonna worry about it. Enjoy yourself !!! Enjoy the family time !

Same here. On meds for probably 13 years. Then surgery. Found cancer we didn't know I had. All is good. 5 years later I go to oncologist every 6 months. No issues. PCP doctor has me on good level of synthyroid. Everyone is different, but for me it did not affect weight issues

Yup... I call them my "bat wings" !!! and all I have to do is look at my elderly aunts and I know I am sooooo doomed. Yup. pushups and tricep dips.

time flies

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY DANCE !!!!! Congrats ... that is just fantastic. I am a slow jogger too.... I call it a "woggle"... somewhere between a walk and a a jog. I am in week 8 and struggle to go the whole 28 minutes. So repeating the days. I am doing a 5K again this weekend and will walk some of it. YUP... keep going everyone…

WALKING is AWESOME !!! My company just completed a 100 Mile challenge. Walk 100 miles in 3 months. I finished out at around 235. Walking is a great cardio workout. Easier on your joints. Great for your lungs. Great for your heart. Great for your puppy dogs... Great for your kids.... The list is endless... Get out there and…

Not sure if they qualify for Healthy.. but better for me than a pizza.. HA HA Greek Yogert - With fruit on the bottom. Peanut Butter Wheat Bagel Thins. Fiber One Raisin Bran Spinach Salad Steamed Brocolli Steamed Califlower Gala Apples Zone White Chocolate protein bar Eggs... always thought I was supposed to avoid these,…

I have one on Saturday and then another one with killer hills on Thanksgiving Day. Can only talk my son into joining me. So I fully suspect (demand) that my hubby start the cooking while we are gone. Haha. I am at week 8 OF C25K and stalling there... but still working it...

I have been on it for 20 years. 5 years ago had thyroid removed so will take it for life. It takes a while for your body to adjust. Just be consistent and don't miss doses. I am to the point now that I don't feel any difference, but I am sure if I missed multiple days I would. Yes...get the blood work done !! I was going…

Cottage cheese. My dad used it to wean puppies off their momma. After seeing 12 cutie puppies standing in their bowls and covered from nose to tip of tail, you quickly lose your taste for it. Liver... haven't had it since I was 6 and hope I never have to. Brussel sprouts. Tuna.

Central VA here and son is in Richmond. Water , flashlights, batteries. No generator thou, so hoping we dont lose power because freezer is full. Grill and other stuff are inside now. Would think we are far enough inland to be ok, but after the derecho this summer, everyone is a bit uptight about it. Stay safe everyone!
