I pre-log the day before. It helps me pack my meals (breakfast, snacks and lunches are all away from home) and stay on track. I typically know what my morning activity burns will be, so it's not a huge deal to make adjustments. However, I've started working out in the evenings some days, and this is proving to be a bit…

Right now, girl scout cookies. Throughout the year, ice cream, frozen yogurt, dark chocolate, and of course, wine.

I had cereal for dinner last night. :drinker:

If you can't run outside, you may consider running on ab1% incline. It will help prepare you for the 5k, since roads, no matter how flat they seem, are not completly flat. Good luck!

It's all about the legs, for me. I would suggest asking someone who's experienced to help with your form. Incorrect form with tire flips could cause issues with your back. Good luck! By the way, I love using the sledge hammer :).

I miss step! I also miss the amazing calves it have me.

4:30 workouts for me...it gets easier. 5:45 sounds a lot nicer!

Good luck!

Five weeks is a long time to not feel part of the group. Kindergarteners do tend to get attached to each other, and I would expect things to get better once first grade starts. But, as a teacher, it's important to keep tabs on the social life of a new student. Have you tried talking to the teacher, or have you just spoken…

This works for me too, first liquid, then powder, then my fruit. Otherwise, it's clumpy,

Looks amazing!

I love my PT! I do take a small group personal training class to save some cash, but I honestly don't feel like I'm missing anything. While on the hunt for one, just share with him/her your goals, and what you would like out of the partnership. As for crying, I've been there and done that, but I've pushed through it and…

I was in front of my second grade class teaching a lesson, when I felt something fall down my leg. Of course, it was my skirt. I was lucky enough to have shorts on. My boss walked in a few minutes later, and of course they all shouted it out to him. :blushing: Three years later, they are still talking about it and a few…

I didn't experience any gain with my pill, but everyone is indeed different. I'm sure you can discuss it with your doctor. Mine said to try the pill first, and if I had weight gain issues, she'd be more than happy to re-evaluate.

I follow every drink with a glass of water. It helps me stay hydrated, I feel better the next morning, and I tend to drink less this way.

If you buy one with a chest strap, it will come with the watch, but the watch doesn't have to be worn on your wrist. I put mine on the handlebar of the bike when I'm taking a spin class. I would assume you could put it in your pocket, though it wouldn't be readily accessible.

Well said, this is me too.

Yummmmmm

My mom made a rice bag for me, just rice sewn into a piece of fabric. I warm it up in the microwave, and the moist heat does wonders! Helps with my migraines as well :).

Right :)

Yes, it is most likely water. Starting a new exercise can cause that. Woman issues can as well. Try upping your water a bit more and give it a few weeks. :)

LOL, thanks for the laughs guys! :drinker:

Higher sodium will reflect on the scale, which can be a real buzz kill.

I plan my meals a week ahead of time, snacks included. It helps me to focus at the grocery store. Then I log everything the night before and make adjustments the day of based on calories burned, or if I ended up eating differently! It especially helps since Im away from home 10 hours of the day.

If your goal is 1200 a day and you are only sometimes eating exercise calories back, it could be that you are just plain and simply hungry. You could try upping your daily goal by 100-200 calories a day and see if that helps. Good luck!

Me :). I spoke with my trainer and she said it just happens with some of us. It completly freaks me out!

My boyfriend is working on a ranch this summer. He came home 15 pounds lighter after the first two weeks. Of course I was happy for him, but I'l admit im a bit nervous he'll end the summer lighter than me!
