I get the chicken fajitas too...no beans and no rice. I also don’t use the wraps.

I eat those 70 calorie packs of tuna for snacks as well. I mix mine with 1Tablespoon of Roasted Red Pepper hummus that is 35cal. Its super good and a great snack to get me through the afternoon.

Peanut butter pop tarts are not frosted and taste AMAZING!! Warm gooey peanut butter after they pop up from the toaster.....yum

I confess I can eat a whole pizza by myself!

I felt a similar pain in my left hip that persisted even at night and I couldn't lay on my left side comfortably. I went to the Dr. and had a CT scan it was just a tight hip flexor. I went thru PT for awhile for exercises that could loosen it up. Lots of glute exercises, stretching and slowly ramping up the running again.…

I hold my phone in my hand for 6 miles or less...but longer runs I use the FlipBelt and take the phone out of the otterbox case.

I just ran my first marathon and I am definitely not a Twig Person. Runners come in all shapes and sizes...I am currently about 10-15lbs overweight...but I am still a long distance runner. Running is great for cardio. There is a technique to breathing while running thought that could engage more of your abdominal muscles.…

I just took a 53 minute spin class and wearing my HRM I burned 520 cals.

I'm glad I read these posts...I have been wondering about these products and whether to try them or not. I'm not totally leaning either way right now. I have about 15 more pounds to lose and I'm getting desperate I think :(

Bump!!

After a good long run I love a banana split in half length wise and spread with crunchy peanut butter drizzled with honey. YUM.

I bought my Polar FT60 about 2 years ago. I wear it 6 days a week working out with the chest strap and LOVE it! I change the batteries pretty often..but I use it about 1-1.5 hours a day. It seems pretty accurate for the calorie burn and HR. The only thing I wish I had was the GPS unit...I use my Nike Run app for that.

Thanks! I never thought about potassium.

Mine is on the treadmill also - 5 minute warm up jog at 6.0 1 minute sprint for me is at 8.0 - HR at 165-175 1 minute fast walk at 4.0 - HR at ~120-130 Repeat for 20 minutes 5 minute cool down jog at 5.5 I would love to hear opinons on this workout too..am I hitting the mark as far as HIIT or are my intervals not correct?

My personal faves are cheese sticks, 80 cal greek yogurt, fruit (apple/banana), 100cal bowl of oatmeal, nuts, 60 cal tootsie roll pop.

For dessert I love ice cream and cake :) or any apple pie or cobbler.

In the midwest states we eat a lot of meat....pork chops, steak, baked potatoes, fries, baked chicken. For a vegetarian maybe cheese pizza, mac n cheese, cheese lasagna, tater tot casserole without the hamburger? We eat a lots of casseroles here too :)

bump for breakfast tomorrow!!

I used to eat mayonnaise sandwiches and uncooked hot dogs as a kid. Me too!! Nothing like eating a cold hot dog from the Oscar Meyer package with all the hotdog juice still on it! So glad I grew up!

I grew up eating French Toast for breakfast covered in peanut butter and smothered in Syrup! Oh...my mouth waters now thinking of it! I do still splurge every now and then and eat this but I have made a healthier version using whole wheat bread and sugar free syrup. Still tastes yummy which surprises me!

I LOVE Peanut Butter and I had to switch to PB2. Its pretty good and you just mix it with water! Its is a GREAT alternative for only ~45 cals for 2 TBS.

Sounds great - I'm going to look for it!

My resting HR is ~41 and when I work out it can go up to ~180 when I do sprints. I asked my Dr. about this and he said as long as I don't feel light headed and pass out its fine! Keep running!

Plan sounds AMAZING...but when do I schedule my day off to recuperate...? :laugh:

I like the crunch of Kashi Go Lean Granola cereals on my 80 calorie greek yogurt. Its add the sweet crunch to a healthy snack.

Yum!! I have everything for this and will try it tonight with my kids! Great treat for end of summer when its still 98 degrees out :)

I like doing 1-2x a week using the treadmill for HIIT. I do 20-30 minutes total depending on my fatigue of the following: 5 minute warm up at 6.0 (jog) 2 minutes at 8.0 (sprint for me) 1 minute at 4.0 (walk) repeat this 8/4 interval for ~20 minutes 5 minute cool down at 6.0 (jog) This really blasts my calorie burn!

I have to be honest and say I am not really good at pre-planning meals and portioning them out for the week. I make easy meals for me for lunch..they may not appeal to everyone: Progresso Light Soup and fruit side (strawberries and blueberries) Turkey sandwich on low cal wheat with mustard and fruit side PB2 peanut butter…
