Why do they have to...

Most of the running events I participate in are sponsored by restaurants and bars - technically I run for beer and hot wings now. I agree about developing the taste for beer - life was better when it turned my stomach.

My mother is a marathon runner with peek a boo toes - she has to tape them together before any running event or she has the same issue that you are complaining of. It got so bad before she started taping them that she irritated the toenail in such a way that it fell off when she took off her sock. I would go to a running…

For me, I am finding that my brain is viewing the calorie counting as controlling and I do not like the feeling of being told what to do. I actually found myself last night eating a double portion of low carb pasta because it was there. I have been close to perfect with my numbers since April and have lost 10 pounds and…

Wonderful. Keep up the good work! I actually was able to run the first mile of a recent 5K without stopping for 15 steps of active recovery last month. That was a first in years. Actually got a little runners high from that moment.

I weigh in once a week officially - Fridays! Sometimes I think I am doing really well and other times when I think my choices might be affecting me negatively I will do an unofficial weight. Before our employee health updated and purchased the digital scale, I liked the old fashioned slide the weights scale. I would set it…

I have given up cow-dairy products so I do not do cheese any longer, but I add spinach, red onions and sliced mushrooms to my scrambled eggs if I am looking for a larger meal. I have also added ground sausage for depth

Wow, that reminds me. I was running a 5K for breast cancer two years ago I think and as we started the race and I was in a large tightly gathered pack I couldn't hold in a fart that had decided it wanted to be released, so with each step it announced its presence in little spurts. It took a good 10 steps to be done...THEN…

During my first kick-boxing class I decided that this class wasn't for me and I was going to sneak out and jump on the treadmill. Well on my way out I maneuvered myself directly in the pathway of an experienced "kicker" and got myself kicked in the ribs. Everyone knew I had quit. (they assigned me to the spin bike nearest…

Arms - nicely cut and shaped arms. (Think Rick Springfield in the 80s)

I am 5/4 - CW is 195.2. I was at my lightest 123 lbs, but that was not a functional weight for me. I was always cold and I looked a little sickly due to strong bone structure in my shoulders. I was wearing size 3 jeans at that time. I feel that I looked my best and felt my best between 130 and 139 allowing for daily and…

Twinkies were ok. I was a devil dog fan. Something about squeezing the filling out the sides and eating that first. It was like an ice cream sandwich for cold days. :) As I grew up, Drakes made a coffee cake that always tasted so good for breakfast. I dont know if the recipe changed after the company closed for that time,…

To quote Nike: Just Do It. I have run 6- 5K races in the past 6 weeks. I am not fast, I do not run the entire thing, but I am finding with each race it gets easier, I am having so much fun, I am getting faster. I have made so many friends and the in person support is a blessing. So, if you find a race that appeals to…

Link Sausage from the hospital cafeteria chased by some not strong enough coffee.

Friends are always good! We are all here to support each other. Feel free to add me!

I was diagnosed with PCOS 18 years ago and I have let it rule my life. As I approached my 41st birthday I decided this spring to take control of my body and make serious changes to my diet and lifestyle. I have cut simple "white" carbs and dessert sugars from my diet, my physician modified my plan and removed also milk,…
