This was my first thought too. I've had it a few times and it's sharp pain when I'm running, but not too bad when I stop and walk. Google it and see if that's what you have. If it is, best thing for it is a foam roller. Hurts a lot to roll on it, but it makes a huge difference after you use it. Just heard somewhere that's…

I get blisters in 1 spot on my foot too. I stared using my regular deodorant on them and that seems to cure it for me. Socks never made a difference for me and band aids never stayed on.

The nutritionist I'm working with has me doing something close to this. 21 gr of protein to 15 carbs for snacks. 21 gr of protein to 30 carbs for meals. I'm down to oatmeal, cheerios, sweet potatoes, brown rice and wheat breads for my carbs. I also get half a fruit for breakfast and for lunch. I'm still working on figuring…

I mixed up recovery week by doing the insanity recovery week instead - mainly because i was on vacation in the black hills and had to do my work out on the deck outside and I didn't have a mat. Mon was plyo, traveled yesterday, chest and arms today and I'm not sure I'll be able to lift my arms tomorrow. It was harder than…

Shoulders and arms are done (and Ab ripper). I upped my weights by 2.5 lbs on almost every exercise. Side tri-rise and oblique v-ups hurt my hips so I do other exercises. Any one else? Must be the way I lay on my side. I tried putting a towel under me to cushion it, but it didn't help. Oh well, side planks are good too.

Plyo is done! When I started this round I didn't think I'd do plyo (i miss my runs), but our weather is so miserable right now I don't mind staying in and doing plyo instead. I think I"m even getting better on the rock star jumps - but I still hate hot foot.

My nutritionist has me eating 1700-1800 cal (plus a recovery drink on days I work out). I'm 5'5.5" and 138 lbs- and not breastfeeding. Give it a try and see how it goes. You can always adjust it if it's too much.

I did chest and back this morning. Did the first set of push up on my toes (except diamond ones). Also got 2 chin up in without using the chair - had to jump to get up a little, but it's better than ive done before. I'm gettig my bodyfat checked weekly at Max Muscle (accuracy comparable to the bod pod). In the first week…

I haven't posted lately, but I have stayed on track with the program. Saturday I ran my half marathon and jumped into legs and back Sunday. Chest and back yesterday and plyo today. The dvd's weren't as bad as I remembered them being! Not that they're easy, but I must have learned to like weights more:laugh:

Here's the link to the thread she was talking about. I made them with almond butter and they're good. A softer texture than no bake bars, but still tasty. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/245155-no-bake-oatmeal-protein-bars Just wanted to point out that it's only 1/2 cup water not 1 1/2 cups water.

I knew that didn't sound right. I found a book online (http://myp90xnutritionplan.com/p90x-nutrition-guide/official-p90x-nutrition-guide-pdf-now-available-below/) and looked at the formula for calories. The math is right, but the bottom of page 3 breaks it down into 3 levels. If you're between 2,000 -2,999 you go to level…

I got chest and back in this morning. It wasn't as bad as I remembered it being. Maybe I'm stronger from doing 2 rounds of chalean extreme in the last year. As for recovery drinks, I've been meeting with a nutritionist at max muscle and he has me taking a protein/glutamatrix and 30 grams of addition carbs (fruit). I have a…

How are you figuring 2700 cals? I did it 2 years ago and was 1800 and my husband was at 2300 (or close to it - I can't remember the exact amount). I don't have my book close by, but I thought 2700 sounds too high.

I'm in. I was going to start it this week anyway so it'll be nice to have a group at the same point. It's my second round (last one was almost 2 years ago), but I want to keep doing spin at the gym and running so I can do another half marathon in Sept. I'll do the weights on Tues, Thur, and Sat. Rest on Sunday. Monday,…

I've started making my own iced coffee. I put i in the freezer for a while, get it cooled off and had a half school of whey protein and blend it, pour over ice. So yummy and totally worth it, plus it adds to the protein for the day!

If you like Nora Roberts, try Susan Mallery - she has a lot of books about friends/sisters. I'll read pretty much any romance too - I'm not picky but I don't put hers down. I think I read 5 of her books on my last vacation (Marcelli series).

What about changing what you call your snacks.. If it's nutritous, it's a snack (fruit, protein, veggies, etc). If it's something that tastes good, but isn't "healthy" it's a treat. Snacks throughout the day are fine. But if I think of it as a treat, I have an easier time leaving it alone (unless it's a special occasion).

I'm in the same boat (5'5", 138, 26% body fat). I was following this plan, eating a lot of protein, healthy carbs, a treat/cheat meal every week or so. I went to meet with a nutritionist at Max Muscle and he put me on a diabetic type plan. I'm eating 1800 cals, plus a recovery/protein drink AND 30 carbs after workouts (not…

I'm healthy by most standards. Just trying to get my body fat down now (24% and 35 yr old). I usually run 5-6 miles if I'm outside, 4-5 on a tread because I get bored. Last week I did an 8 mile run and felt fine afterwards. I just felt like I started to bonk at about mile 7. After I added up my miles last week I was at 26…

I wear a HRM and I burn anywhere from 150-200 for the weights. More on days with heavy legs. It's been less in the burn circuit though. I like to feel the cardio effect so I usually run a few miles after I get done with CE.

Your close to the SD border, check out siouxfallsareafunningclub.org. They have races listed by month throughout SD,western ' MN, and northern IA.

Natural nuts are a great option too.

What about planning a menu for a week (or month) at a time? I try to do a month at a time and it helps with the "what are we having tonight?" problem. I don't mind cooking -I just HATE figuring out what to make. Plus, it helps when I can go grocery shopping for what I need to buy so I can actually make meals with it. Maybe…

I do protein for convience - it's a really quick way to get my protein in the morning. I'm going into a nutrition store recommended by a friend so who knows what I'll come home with. One thing for an easy recovery drink - and cheap - is a glass of chocolate milk. It has the right balance of carbs and proteins to help your…

I just started round 2 of Chalean yesterday. I like it better than P90X because it's a full body workout instead of just 2-3 muscle groups each day (and it's shorter too so I can still add a little cardio).

Google FUPA

When my only option are to either run on a tread or not run at all (and I get way better results from running than I do from anything - other than spinning), I take the tread. To make it through, I usually set my self up with everything I might need to make it through a run. Water, iPod, tv/movie on closed caption,…

bumping for later - sounds awesome!

I make the recipe on the side of the LIbby Pumpkin PIe (15oz) and make it as directed. I just don't bake it in a pie shell. That's where the majority of fat and calories are anyway. Now I'm craving it, so I'll probably make it yet tonight. I've been wanting pumpkin bars, but the pie without the crust is much healthier.
