I have IC but have found no flare foods, and I tried cutting out all the "trigger foods", kept a food diary, tried low oxalate, but nothing seemed to help/hurt. Found out that my triggers are stress and hormonal. I am on Elmiron which helped tremendously as well as Elavil and Vistaril.

Happy Imbolc! Made some homemade braided bread today to celebrate. :)

I work from home in the kitchen. I have set snack schedules for myself. Kind of reward for keeping working and looking forward to the snack break.

Played in youth/high school, then started again around age 25. Tore ACL about 6 years ago playing soccer. Had reconstruction and am playing again co-ed. Run as well. 41 years old, still love playing.

I am shocked at the prices listed for some RNRs. Just signed up for my 3rd year doing the STL RNR early bird for $80. Ended up being almost $90 with fees but still. I do enjoy the atmosphere and have not had any problems that other have mentioned at other RNRs. I also signed up for the Cowbell Marathon in St. Charles,…

Jog Log, very accurate as compared to map my run mileages.

SW: 155 CW: 132 GW: 128 UGW: 125 Goals this month: 1. Get back to logging in daily or at least during the week. I was at 125 pounds on maintenance and gained back i believe from lack of consistent logging. 2. Trying to get back to longer runs, which i find extremely hard in cold weather. 3. Try strengthening 1-2 per week,…

I am finding being accountable to someone helps. A couple weeks ago I joined Jantastic with a group from MFP and needing to keep my goal of 5 runs a week motivates me to keep going. I also try to remind myself that once the weather becomes warmer I do not want to have deconditioned myself to the point I can't do the longer…

i'm in, i weigh on fridays so will post my starting weight on the 31st.

Usually run 5 per week but weather was so nice over the weekend had to advantage so ran this weekend for 6 runs this week. 31.94 miles.

Complete!

Didn't read all replies so sorry if this was already said but i cannot stand having anything around my waist so i use a camelbak for water and armpocket to carry ipod and GU.

I'm in. Never heard of this, sounds like fun.

Yeah, i got it but i am not affected by diet. Mine flares with stress and hormones. i am on Elmiron which has significantly helped me. What type of surgery did you have? I also had vulvar vestibulitis and had those tissues removed but the doctor said short of removing my bladder surgery was not an option.

i had my left acl reconstructed when i was 35 with a patellar graft. i tore it playing soccer and returned to playing soccer w/o any problems and still play now 5 years later.

Thanks, just put my goal in. :)

1. 1:55 half. 2. 4:15 full. 3. Succeed in getting my sons to run with me.

SW: 150 CW: 132 GW: 125 Goals this month: Work on core and upper body strengthening twice weekly in addition to my running. Weigh in Dates: I usually weigh on fridays so will check in then. 11/01 132 11/8 11/15 11/22 11/29 11/30 Final weight Total weight lost:
