1. Your Pace Your Race :happy: : A race is a race and the distance doesn't matter (I mean it does a little but for motivational purposes we will go along with "it doesn't matter" statement). It is a race and it belongs to you. There will be people out there with snazzy running shorts and fancy shoes who are doing push ups…

Pretty much. I lost about 55, kids left for the summer, I took that as an opp to stop cooking, then I had a running injury so I had to chill out on that a lot, gained back about 30 of the 55 I had lost...sigh...it happens, but I'm resolving to dusty myself off and do what needs to be done. Prayerfully, I won't get lazy or…

Oh this is super neat. Ok, I'm in too. I'm going to aim low and go for 30 miles this month. Fingers crossed I get them in :)

I am actually about to start doing the same thing. I've heard varying opinions. Some say absolutely not while others say it wouldn't hurt. I think it just depends on your body and if it can handle all of the exercise. I completed Insanity last year with doing nothing but that, and if I didn't learn anything else--I learned…

Cops who see you with children in the pouring rain on a dark country road trying to change a flat tire and don't bother to stop or even ask if everything is ok.

I'm super late: Neck - 15.5 Arm - 13.5 F. Arm - 11 Wrist - 7.25 Waist - 49 Hips - 50.5 Thigh - 28.5 Calf - 17.5 Whew! I sure do measure a whole lot of crap. lol

Agreed. Knowing the exercises is one thing, but having the book turns them into something else completely. It will be money well spent.

Having been in the media business for a second, it is hands down all about money. They don't care about what you want or don't want or how you feel. Put a beautiful face on a cover and 9 times out of 10 it will catch the consumer's eye and then the headlines will do the rest. Cha-ching! $5 for a bunch of pretty colored…

Ok, I think I get it. Thanks!

Ok...that's waking my brain up a bit. Thank you.

So when the table says: A) Squats Workout 1,2 Workout 3,4 Workout 5,6 Workout 7,8 What is that? That's the part that has my head a little swimmy. There are like 4 different kinds of squats just by glancing at it. Do I do all 4? I dunno...I'm just going to fake it I guess :grumble:

Let compression be your friend. When I'm not doing anything that requires jumping, I wear regular type of pants like yoga or even sweats, but when running/kick boxing/high impact is a factor I slap on compression pants/shorts fast. lol

If I hear I'm hungry one more time I'm liable to just walk out of the front door and not return until he's 18 and out of the house. LOL

Great idea! I try to keep nuts and milk around but never thought of the avocado.

Moving Comfort has nice ones. My current bra of choice is the Enell. Looks like a satin bullet proof vest but it keeps these 42 I's in tight. yes...that is an (i) *sigh*

I would stick with the C25k method of doing things and add on distance once a week. Just an example, Mon & Wed run/walk 3 miles, Sat run 4. Repeat but add more distance every week. Mon & Wed 3.5 miles, Sat 5 miles. Like that. Pretty soon your weekday runs will match your long run and then you can work on your timing if…

Ditto ^^^ I would suggest just putting your cals at 2000 and try to stay between 1900 and 2000. Work that for a couple of weeks and see how that works for you. I would also suggest relaxing a little bit on the fitness. Your muscles need time to rest and recoop. With that much working out they are probably holding onto some…

We are like dogs, cats, birds and any other animal that needs to eat in order to survive--if we get hungry enough we'll eat it. We have all been in a situation where we are starving to death and we find a linty mint in our purse or a piece of gum from when gum was invented in our pocket and we eat it :embarassed: . Kids…

Thanks a ton! I'm going to check him out right now.

Yes, I looked up some stuff last night and found some juicing/smoothie recipes that I may try, but I am going to stay away from dairy for quite a while.

^^^This I have the same issues and it is scary. I have had mine for quite some time and I am getting mine taken out in the next month or so. I'm ready to have my body back. If I had just done what I wanted to do after I had my last kid, I wouldn't be in this mess but I let the doc talk me out of it (tubes tied). Hindsight…

Awesome...I appreciate your advice--takes the guess work out of a lot of it. LOL

Thanks! Completely digging the Fin (or Phin) and Jake weight tracker btw :D

Ok that makes much sense. You mentioned nutrition....when lifting, do you eat something different before/after than you do when running for instance? Or is it all the same?

Wonderful! The common thread in all of your responses seems to be that low GI foods is pretty much what eating better is so I'm happy with that :wink: Awesome...thanks!

Were you doing anything specific as far as weight training goes? I saw a hybrid calendar that incorporated Chalean Extreme and TF but to be honest with you, I think doing TF for 20 weeks is enough Chalean for me. LOL

That was helpful, thanks Croc! I could deal with the scale going up and up and up as long as my pant size doesn't follow lol. My pants seem to be following at this moment.

Thanks Aggie. The gaps are mostly due to traveling, as well as some (not all) of the restaurant eating. I've been on the road for the past two weekends which makes it kinda hard (but not impossible) to eat what you're suppose to. I don't plan on doing anymore running up and down the road anytime soon so hopefully by…
