  • "I''m not losing, I seem to be gaining..." "Well, you know, muscle weighs more than fat, so..." Grrrrrr.......a pound of muscle weighs as much as a pound of fat, it just takes up less space!
  • Go into the "Challenge" board and look for: May 2021 Monthly Running Challenge. They are a FANTASTIC group of runners, all different levels, from beginners to ultras, from all over the world. You set your own goals, and get on to log your updates. It is a monthly board. Conversations flow, advice given, support given and…

  • I like the Nike running app. I like the challenges, badges and run levels. To get to the running plans, pull up the menu, the go to "Run", then "Guided Runs".There you will find many different ones to go through (personal fave: "I Don't Wanna Run Run"). Scroll to the bottom & the Half Marathon Guided Plan, and "click" on…
  • I started running at 8 years ago at 44 years of age, 230 lbs (on a 5' 4 1/2" frame) and had not run since middle school.....that would be the mid 80s. I had a friend help me, we did 20 mins of 2 mins walk, 2 mins run. That was it. I was hooked. 5 months later I did my 1st 5K, and 1 year later I did my 1st duathlon. How far…

  • On the topic of vultures/buzzards.....When I did a mud run several years back, I was doing the first water challenge, you were on your back, in water & going under poles. Now, I knew there would be water, but I do have a fear of deep water, and I was trying to work through some of my fears with this run (the part where I…
  • So far, life has NOT gone according to plan! I've only gotten in 2 runs so far...and then the nasty "friend" of migraine decided to visit me for a few days. Had one for 4 days, then literally 1 1/2 days of relief....and BAM another one hit me for another 3 days of pain! (not running related, it hit a couple days after the…

  • I did it! Got my 1st run in since May 5th. 2020. Started my CT10K app on week1, day 1. Before I got out there, I was nervous, believe it or not, almost talking myself out of it, but get out I did. I was rather surprised during the run intervals when I looked at my watch that my pace times were in the low 12s, and once I…
  • @ContraryMaryMary So so sorry to hear about your dad! But also relieved to hear he is doing better. Hugs to you, your dad and all your family! @KristinScott8 Looks like you and I are on similar playing grounds! @Avidkeo gave some good advice. I already have an app on my phone that I was using a while ago that I am backing…
  • Oh dear, @kirstymn you certainly had been through it!! It sounds like you are over your running block, though so that it a positive. My 2 cents, for what it is worth, based on my own experience, if you don't like a program, then you won't do well with it. Stick with what you are comfortable with, yet challenge yourself…
  • @amandalyn333 Welcome to this crazy bunch! I am in southeast Wisconsin, also have exercise-induced asthma, and I have to do my inhalers. I do my Symbicort every morning, and then my Pro-Air (Albuterol) before I run, usually as I warm up. If the weather is in the lower 30's, I have a buff on, raising it up & down as needed.…
  • I can TESTIFY!!!!!! I have 3 SheFit bras - different colors - and I LOVE them!!! They have multiple sizes and colors and well worth the money. (Sorry to those who don't care to know...) I am a natural DDD and I went from wearing 3 or even 4 bras at a time to only 1. Fully adjustable and supportive, I really have no desire…
  • Hello again! I am taking a tentative step back into the running world in January. I took a pause this year due to injuries, pain and a general lack of desire. I have been walking a lot though, so still keeping active, just not running. Ended up having rotator cuff surgery in August, and the OT and doctor just released me a…
  • @AustinRuadhain Thank you! I love butternut squash and one of my fave recipes is "Sweet Potato Soul's" Butternut squash Mac & cheese...SO SO good! (I omit the Brussel sprouts) Have yet to try acorn squash, it intimidates me. I did look up the McDougal oatmeal cookie recipe, but hmm, looks like having to buy extra…
  • @Mihani Thanks! I looked through a few posts before I joined, and it looked like an embracing group. Reading about your dog made me miss my girl even more. Had my "fuzzy daughter" for 14 years, and in Feb had to make The Decision. As far as beds, I just got a Beautyrest a few months ago from Wayfair and LOVE it!! Wish now…
  • Hello...newbie here, barging in on your little beautiful Plantland here. Officially been a vegetarian for about 10 - 11 years, then a "messed up vegan" a few. (ate cheese) Yesterday I finished a "Mary's Mini". Needed it to break myself of some of my bad habits and get myself accountable & back on track. I let myself get…
  • Been vegetarian for years, then a "messed up vegan", now think I have the correct tools to "do plant based right" this time. (note: Since there is SUCH a dividing line for some people, I don't describe myself as "vegan" as I will take medications, have leather products etc. "Plant based" is how I call me. But it IS all…
  • I had pretty much the same issues since last year. (Moto Z3) I've done EVERYTHING. Uninstall, reinstalled I don't know how many times, contacted tech support so many times until I wondered why they didn't give me a direct line. Gone into the "inner workings" to give answers o questions I didn't think I needed to know. And…
