I recentlly read Brain Over Binge and not to be dramatic, but it was a bit of an epiphany for me. You might want to check it out, it really clicked in my head and changed so much for me.

I've struggled with Onederland my entire life and I'm ready to break that barrier again. I've lost and gained so many times but this past fall and holiday season I gained a bunch yet again. I have a knee that's out right now that's hindering any running or lifting but I think by logging consistently and losing some of this…

Typed up a huge reply and lost it, ugh! I came in here looking for this exact type of thread. Just know you aren't alone and many of us are getting back to it and starting again! Lifelong process to stay healthy, we keep on keeping on or we slide back into bad habits. today I choose to keep going, even if it's frustrating…

Corkandgreens, I started Wellbutrin 2 months ago and was blown away by the appetite change as well! I think because Wellbutrin is used to stop cravings for smokers, it did the same for my food cravings. I've never felt like I could take or leave food, never. I did have some side effects I had to push through for the first…

If the shoes are killing your feet, take them back! I feel like too many people blindly listen to the SALES PEOPLE (that's what they are) when they get fitted. If they are a reputable store, they will take them back and refit you in shoes that work for you. They shouldn't hurt! You have to learn to listen to your own body…

Log everything and remember to finish up and complete my entry tonight some sort of cross training today SMILE!

Didn't post my goals yesterday and did ok with food but then had 3 alcoholic drinks b/c my cramps were so bad (sorry, tmi) and that put me over my calories and up on the scale. No beating myself up, I'm just back to drinking my water today! Today: log everything! eat with intention, no mindless eating! enjoy the day, live…
-
Stuck to my goals Saturday and was rewarded with a little movement on the scale this morning! Today: log it all, even though I have a crazybusy day! I can find the time. run 6 miles no excuses about what I'm eating based on being busy stop every once and a while and just enjoy the day, even for a moment!
-
Ooooh runners!!! I found you! <3 I'm just going to lurk or jump in late for March. My miles were less last month than I would have liked, it may have been the tapering for my half or resting for nearly a week afterwards. Regardless, I would like to keep my miles around 50 until I amp up training for another half in the…

Born to Run by Christopher McDougall was great, Galloway's half marathon, you can do it book was nice as well. Right now I'm reading Eat and Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness by Scott Jurek and I'm really enjoying it.

Love this thread! Another day being true to myself. For me, that's mostly what bothers me when I have a bad day...breaking my word to myself. I like making a promise to myself and keeping it. Today: Not let the scale (and it's lack of movement) ruin my day. Persistence! Log everything and check in at night to make sure…
-
Keep fighting! YES! That's just how I feel. It's really really comforting to know there are people having these same struggles as me. I think about how determined and persistent I am with my running and the things I have accomplished and just cannot figure out how I cannot translate that to eating?!?! I'm really pleased to…
-
This really helped me stay aware and focused yesterday! Had a great run as well. Today I will log every bite and make sure there's no eating after dinner.
-
Just for today I will put what I PLAN to eat in my mouth and not stray from logging my calories. Time to get back in the zone! This is a fantastic thread idea.
-
I know how hard it can be to rest after an injury! Don't worry, you'll get some of your speed back eventually. I wouldn't push it though, I learned my lesson with that, I really have to listen to my body now and not just what I think I "should" be able to do! I'm training for my second half/glass slipper challenge (19.3…
-
How's everyone's training going?!? Going well here for Glass Slipper Training! I'm excited that I'm not training injured this year, just hoping to run the half and enjoy myself instead of dealing with pain like last year.
-
I got runners knee training for my first half marathon last year. I attributed it to going from low-drop shoes to regular drop shoes (I had an achilles injury and couldn't run in the low drop for a while). After my half, which I ran with pretty severe knee pain, I went back to my low drop Brooks (Pureflow line) and my…

I got in for the GSC! I ran the Princess 1/2 last year as my first half, so I'm excited to go back and do the GSC now. I didn't have trouble because I got on RIGHT when registration opened, but had a lot of runner friends that had trouble, a few took over an hour and many attempts to get registered. Active.com was having…

Love that!

chrisskellint, I added a explanation to my original post!

Finally got mine, I waited years for it. I have always loved trees but wasn't sure just what kind of tree I wanted. I decided I wanted something that symbolized myself, the child in me, but also my daughter and the connection with trees and nature in my life. For me, trees symbolize strength and beauty. The artist that…

I just ran the 2014 PHM, it was my first half! LOVED it, aside from being in pain (runner's knee issues). I'll be signing up for the Glass Slipper Challenge(the Enchanted 10K and the Princess half) in 2015 and really looking forward to it!
-
HAVE FUN!!!!!!! All the training was the work, try to soak up the race and really enjoy every moment. You will PR no matter what and there will never be another first half! I just ran my first half at the end of February and it was everything I hoped it would be. :)
-
Hope you did well on your 10K and got your time submitted! :) I'm due for 8 miles next week, I've done 7 & 8 previously but that's as high as I got before an injury set me back. Pretty excited, the race is in 78 days!!!!!!!!! I'm doing Cinderella since it's my first half and I figured she was about as princess-y as ya get!…

They haven't so far for me. I've been running for over a year consistently (I've been running longer than that but had quite a few injuries in the beginning) and I'm training for my first half marathon... I cannot.lose. *sigh* I am just hungrier and struggle to stay in my calories (1700-1800) when in the past with less…
-
You've gotten some good advice on shoes and form, I just wanted to add: It hurts in the beginning. Well, it hurts later as well when you start building mileage and training for faster speeds as well and occasionally with injury...but I hurt for DAYS when I first started running. The first time I actually quit for a couple…
-
This screams INJURY to me when I read it...but then again, I'm prone to it. Jumped one week from 5 miles to 8 (I had run 7, but not for about a month) and I'm out with an injury. (heel bursitis) I think I wouldn't make it through half this plan, but I'm guessing for those that already have a superstrong base and are not…
-
Training for the Princess 1/2 in February! So so so excited to run at my happy place!
-
It's a 5K fun run/walk (luckily timed though, so I can still race! LOL) and they will have superheros to meet and greet/take pictures with after the race! All the proceeds are going to the American Cancer Society. I'm doing a Wonder Woman inspired running outfit! ;)
