yes normally at this point i would be tapering but my thoughts keep telling me to get in one last good run. canceling is NOT an option. i would walk it before i cancelled. it's not in me to cancel just because my training has been crappy.

i may do just this - change my thinking, focus on the enjoyment of it. the weather's going to be beautiful and just enjoy the race. i need to squash that little voice in my head telling me to beat my first half's time. stupid voices.

my pancake recipe is better than your pancake recipe - i put peanut butter in mine

got home from work last night - had a few glasses of wine while sitting on the front porch. feet swelled up and at that point my sodium intake for the day was at 722.

do you eat a lot of high sodium foods? is your sodium intake high in general? my feet swell when i eat foods that are loaded with sodium so i have to be careful how much i get on a daily basis. if i see it creeping close to 1500 i double my water. on a typical day i drink 96oz of water but on days when my sodium is high i…

the question is can you maintain your calorie intake forever? you know ultimately once you hit your goal weight and you "slack off" or just up your calorie intake you are most likely going to gain the weight back. i noticed you eat tuna salad - it's marked as homemade and you eat 3 oz. do you make it yourself? did you…

okay so you're not sure how accurate your exercise calories are plus you're afraid to eat over your 1200 so lately you've been eating under 1000 and you're still not loosing. so since you're not loosing anymore what do you do - drop your calories even lower plus CONTINUE exercising at the level your exercising and assume…

are you positive about your exercise calorie burns because they seem very high to me. i ran 5.5 miles last weekend and only burned 600. one day you have 947 exercise calories burned. also you are eating very little. you're barely above 900 calories most days. you should be NETTING 1200 calories or more. being under all the…

you realize we are almost saying the same thing. i was simply pointing out that when someone says prepackaged foods it not just as simple as avoiding those frozen meals, quick fix frozen veggie things, boxed meals (which is typically what most people think about when you way prepackaged foods). you also have to watch out…

you're not a toy you're not broken that you need to be fixed. so you gained weight so what. it happens to all of us. F HIM! HE'S A TOOL! you gained weight because you got sick and he dumped you for THAT. do you honestly want to spend the rest of your life with a person like THAT?????? seriously! if he ran off because you…

it's not always as simple as that. i watch my sodium levels because too much makes my feet swell. i'm a firm believer in making my own foods instead of pre packaged stuff however you still have to watch certain things. salad dressings for one loaded with sodium so i use olive oil and red wine vinegar. hubby makes his pasta…

hydrate, watch sodium intake (sodium causes my feet to swell so i have to watch it carefully). if you hydrated for the first with no problems but experienced swelling at the second and did not hydrate then this is your issue. as you run point your hands/fingers straight up and wiggle them around - it will help keep…

i eat breakfast every morning. during the week it's either: toast with peanut butter or eggs, cheese, maybe a meat (bacon or ham) on a small tortilla. weekends it can be any of the following: eggs, bacon, toast, homemade pancakes, homemade waffles, omelets, frittatas just depends on what's in the house and what i'm in the…

2oz of cheese is going to vary in calories because not all cheeses have the same calorie count. calories for 2oz of feta is going to be different from 2 oz of gouda. get in the habit of reading food labels. if the food label includes cups AND grams go with grams (for weighing) don't get out a measuring cup. you'll get the…

^^^^ this - you'll be surprised what you really are consuming once you start weighing. originally i was going to comment on your low calorie numbers (one day 1000, next day 1100 etc) until this caught my eye was the french toast 2 pieces 80 calories. this is not accurate so like above you need to accurately weigh…

i'm not on a diet. also i've never wanted to eat half a pizza, or a tub of ice cream, or an entire package of oreos that would just make me sick and want to vomit. i however had no problem eating 5 oreos with a cup of ice cream after having a hamburger and french fries for dinner. now i am full after a hamburger, french…

i eat whatever i want everyday - i just eat less of it.

to answer your question about what meals you can do that will microwave quickly the first thing that came to mind was mexican chicken. chicken breast, mexican seasoning (if you don't have to worry about sodium), chicken stock (or water), salsa, beans, peppers if you like them. cook in a crock pot. shred chicken when done,…

so i had my rugged maniac mud/obstacle course race on saturday and i used my kt tape. definitely felt a difference (good difference) in my foot using the tape. however even with the extra adhesive spray the tape did not stay on but this was a mud race with lots of mud/water so i wasn't expecting to stay on i would have…

damn! beat me to it. second don't waste your money. if there was a magic pill that WORKED ACTUALLY WORKED don't you think we'd ALL BE TAKING IT! and not need this site.

^^^ this and in some (maybe a bit more than some) cases no they can't that's why we see so many people on here who start out with 5 yrs ago or 2 years ago or last year i lost X amount of weight in X number of months eating very little but now i've gained it all back plus some so i'm back on here. we all gain a few here and…

hate to break it to you but i eat way more than that and i'm 4' 11-3/4" oh yeah and i'm 42. i went to scooby and reentered my information but put myself at sedentary and said i wanted to loose 25%. it gave me 1325 for my tdee. not sure where you got your information but it's not even close to being accurate. you might want…

in all seriousness it sounds like you had a panic attack on the obstacle. is it at all possible the person who said tonight you meant for you to move your *kitten* and not perhaps that they were coming for you tonight. ie maybe the person meant to say today you. when i do these races i start saying **** that doesn't make…
