I enjoy running along the corn (maybe I am just excited to run my first race)! The corn fields really smell funny (like pee :laugh: ), but at least it's not car exhaust or tobacco smoke!!! I find that the corn fields are cooler than the surrounding area, too! I hope that you get to run your half where you WANT to run it!!

How is everyone doing this week???? I went to the store last night and bought ice cream, frosting and chocolate syrup! WTH I guess I am not thinking clearly :noway:

It is sooo hot here in Indiana!!! I sooo didn't cross train yesterday and went over on calories, but today is a new day and I am gonna run my 3.5 miles tonight and strength. Do you all do your strength training before or after your runs? I have been doing it before, but I don't want to wear myself out before the run.

Pam: I have lost 20lbs in one year eating 1700 calories and burning between 300-500. I would never go below 1200. HTH :flowerforyou:

I am soooo sore!!!!!! Today is either 2mile or cross-train. I don't wanna do either!!!! :ohwell: Someone please motivate me! Welcome Zoe!!! Watch out for the gators! :noway: Those things are MEAN!!!!

Pixie: Yay!! I am sooooo sore. I did 3.75 miles yesterday and I feel it today! Oh and I am a few days away from TOM :sad: I want CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!

Be very careful with the laxitives. They hurt really badly and shouldn't be used very often. I would try eating more fiber. I eat fiber bars often and also take a pill form of fiber supplement. This is much healthier than laxitives.

Love Skillet! Another good Christian band is FireFlight.

Eminem gives me just the right beat to push through my 9 minute miles!

I did 4.25 miles on Saturday. Yesterday was S&S and MAN do I hurt today!!!! I haven't made myself sore in ages! Tonight is a 3 mile run. I am loving the Nike sport kit! Wendy: Welcome! I can't run in the morning because I HAVE to have some fuel in me and by then I have to be at work. I run about 8-9pm and I carry a water…

LJC: WTG!!!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. UGGGGG I am up 2.5 lbs since Thursday. I am begininng to think I will never loose this weight. My half marathon training has my rest day Friday and stretch day Sunday, so I should really not be doing too much exercise those days, but I feel I may need to run just to carry over…

Good luck this weekend all! No Binging and E-X-E-R-C-I-S-E!!!!!!!!

How am I supposed to rest? I am so pumped and motivated. I KNOW that rest is as important as the run, but man I WANNA RUN :tongue: Anyone have any tips on psyching yourself into resting???

That is a bummer LHuffman!!! If you are doing the monumental I would love to have you join me! I've never done a race and I tend to panic around crowds. I am getting so much faster on my runs! I got the Ipod and sports kit and used it yesterday. It said I did about 4.25 miles with an average of 9 minute miles!!! That was…

Happy Thursday Ladies! OK, so I couldn't resist weighing in since I was at a big fat NIL on Monday. I lost 2.5 lbs since Monday!!!! I guess running almost every night is starting to work!!! Let's all try for a weekend of NO BINGING and LOTS of exercise! I hope everyone has a loss come Monday.

The library!!! :huh: What an idea!!! I'm getting my Ipod tomorrow and will need to take a trip and pick up some tunes and books on CD!!!!! :tongue: Thanks for the ideas. I swam about 50 minutes and I don't even feel like I worked out!!!

My MP3 player broke about 2 weeks ago, so I am running in the 90 degree heat with no tunes!!! It's just me and God until I get my IPOD. LHuffman: I live in Indiana too! I am preparing for the Monumental race now. I am in love with Eminem and can't wait to upload Recovery to the IPOD I buy and run to my future husband. (My…

My HM is scheduled 11-6-2010!!!! 14 more weeks to go :smile: I am LOVING it so far. Saturday I did a 4 mile run (even went a little over to make it 45 minutes of running) LOL I'm OCD. My legs are kinda sore, but I have been running between 2 and 3 miles a few times a week, so this was not much of a stretch. I modified the…

Nicole: Welcome!!! I love the support I get from this site! Bkrbabe: Congrats on the loss!!! PixieGoddess: Are you sending me some Tiger cake? Sounds yummy!!! Sara: I think IMHO that when I am as small as I am and running, my body is toning rather than losing. I know that the smaller a person is the longer it takes to…

Welcome Sasmll!!! Your story sounds exactly like mine!!! Great job getting up and running! Can I ask how tall you are? I am between 5'1 and 5'2 and 136 with about 15lbs to loose too. It is slow going for me even with training for a half marathon (week 1 LOL). Good luck!!!

You are all doing so great!!!! I did my 4 mile run on Saturday. Tonight is officially day 1 for me, so I am doing 3 miles tonight :smile: I am so excited to train and complete this race. 14 weeks until GOAL!!!!! Thanks for being soooo supportive!

Revlaura: I am a every morning weigher, but this could be bad for the self-esteem and other things. I am trying to not do this (by weighing in on Monday's) Welcome to the group!!! Sherry: You rock!!!! Keep going, you will reach your goal. Veepie: Welcome!!! It could be do-able depending on how much weight you have to…

I had a binge day yesterday too. Just get back up and try again today! We can do this!!!

Yesterday was my stretch and strengthen day AKA rest day. I ate OK and still had 1 calorie left over! Somehow, the lb I lost was put back on today :ohwell: Starting Weight: 154 Current Weight: 136 Goal Weight: 120 I am anxious to see how everyone else did this week!!!! My legs are killing me from my 4 mile run on Saturday,…

LJC: That's awesome!! 4.4 lbs!!! I weighed in this morning down 1lb, but I will officially weigh in tomorrow.

Hi all! Can I join? I am starting Hal Higdon's 12 week program today. I have roughly 13 weeks until my first ever running event (HALF MARATHON) I am super excited! I will catch up on all of the posts tonight. My 16 month old is trying to play with the key board :laugh:

I can totally relate :blushing: I am a binge eater. I just can't stop myself, but it's generally only on the weekends. I used to eat and entire bag of chips, and entire carton of ice cream, some soda and cookies if they were there. I totally agree with those that suggested KEEP IT OUTTA THE HOUSE! I have tried this, but…

I get forgetful too, so we can all remind each other! :wink: Thanks everyone for being on board! :flowerforyou: LJC: Have fun moving her! It's exercise LOL When did you start the C25K? I have been running for a while now and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Hope that you are all having a wonderful day! I am mentally preparing to do…

:blushing: I do too! This is my motivation to STOP!!!! I get so defeated when I see +lbs. You all may help me not binge! YAY LJC: I will see you on Sunday! Are you traveling for work, family or pleasure? If it's a vacay, take me with you!!!

I waited 30 minutes and I felt fine doing a quick 20 minute run. My body must be used to running now, or my food moves quickly :laugh:
