For my calorie burns that I posted I am only including the regular 3ish min warmup not the cold start.

^^This. I didn't consider myself a real runner either. Yes, you are. You don't have to meet a pace or a distance to call yourself one. Look at half marathon training programs, there are a whole bunch online. Compare them and choose one that sounds reasonable to you. For me, I started with a solid 10k base (like you have)…

I think you are making a good choice with the classic program I don't know about you but I sure have a hard time eating consistently when I am travelling. Unless you are preparing your foods yourself and not eating out, it is really difficult to know exactly what you are consuming as far as calories and macros. How many…

The general sentiment is that drinking more water will flush out excess salt. Diuretics are not necessary. You can track your food as you wish, that is your business. If you already have all the answers, know what you are doing and do not want to listen to the responses to the question you asked, why post a question?

How long have you been doing X3? You said you mentioned two months but didn't say how much of that included X3. Most people are saying that they are not seeing measurable results until blocks 2 and 3. How has your nutrition been?

When I start each set I do full push ups then drop to my knees to complete the set. For example in Challenge, my push up number was 10. I do the first 5 on my toes, last five on my knees. Next time my number may be 11 or 12 and I might go for 6 on my toes.

I clicked the order button this morning, I am a runner but need to add to what I already do. I want to get some more weight off and get better and faster at running as well as gain some strength. This looks like it might be the ticket. I have a couple sprint triathlons and a couple half marathons under my belt, but this is…

12 mile run today. My longest run yet.

I am happy for you and your results. You have put in the hard work and it shows. Your blanket statement seems to indicate that if you can do it, anybody and everybody can which is simply untrue. No amount of work will remove my excess skin and stretch marks. Nothing but a scalpel will. As someone who is willing to put in…

Agreed. The label at first glance is misleading calling it "Greek Style" yogurt. It didn't become truly clear to me until I read the nutrition facts. Kind of like the whole grain vs made with whole grain marketing.
-
All plain greek yogurts are not in the same ballpark nutrition wise. Fage has 24g of protein/serving while the Greek Gods brand has only 6. I also like the one from Trader Joes. Just be sure to read the labels.

I prefer to think of myself having a free meal once a week. I don't feel that I am cheating if I fit it into my calories and have worked hard. A free whole day is a bit too much for me. I think if I never gave myself a free meal, I would feel too restricted and want to quit. For me it is about overall lifestyle, not that I…

Mine is set so that only my friends can see it. With some of the arguements on here about nutrition what to eat, what not to eat, I don't need to invite that into my daily food journal. I have the support of my friends and I am not looking for it from strangers.
-
^^ This!!! There are people at the gym much more fit than I am and people much less fit than I am and that is the way it always will be. I am there for my own goals. Keep in mind that we are all doing our own workouts and all have different goals. On MFP I have seen people slam the "cardio bunnies" and bash the meatheads.…

A massage, new workout gear, you could always schedule yourself a mani/pedi:)

What about swimming or water walking?
-
I have done three and want to do a couple more next year. I think I was most anxious about the swim. A person much more experienced than I, said when you get there and look at it, you might freak out a little. Relax, breathe, stay to the outside back (away from the chaos) do breast stroke when you need to and float if you…

I juice frequently but eat regular meals. I very commonly juice spinach, cucumber, carrot, beets etc (primarily veggies) and then add in an apple or a pear to make it sweeter. It looks like pond water but actually tastes pretty good. I love the nutrition and energy boost I get from it. I try to be careful not to add too…

I went for a run in rain before work so I wouldn't blow it off later in the day. I also was out doing errands at lunch passing by several really good and really high calorie places to eat I managed to drive home for lunch instead. I even passed by my favorite bakery that makes the best cupcakes and brownies you have ever…

Oooh, Tough Mudder looks like so much fun. I have done a couple of Warrior Dash races and they are a blast. Have fun!

I did C25K about four years ago and 30 lbs ago. I am training for my first half marathon now. Worked for me.
-
I am beginning training for my first half in May. I appreciate the training program recommendations. I am going to check out Hal Higdon. I have a solid 10K base but am nervous about working to become "a real runner." I want to complete my training without injury and complete my race solidly. How long are most of you giving…

My big eye opener was when I was meeting my husband for lunch so we had limited options and time. My choices were Carls Jr, Panda Express, Five Guys Burger and Fries and Quiznos. I thought a sandwich from Quiznos would be the healthiest option, I ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Wrap. It had chicken, garbanzo beans,…

I second the compression pants. I wear them and then just wear a longer top to cover up my bum.

My body has changed the most when I have done strength training and cardio together. I did all cardio to the tune of three sprint triathlons without losing weight and still having excess body fat. When I do strength, that is when my body size and shape changes. I started MFP about two months ago and as hard as it is for me…

I actually did pretty well despite my husband buying my favorite candies (Peanut Butter Squared, peanut butter cups, and those caramel apple pops). I staved off the urge by baking the mini low fat pumpkin cheesecakes and low fat pumpkin spice cookies from skinnytaste. Still lots of sugar but not so bad on the fat and…

Lol! Actually, a redheaded wife who is a triathlete, NY cops daughter, and has four teenage sons who are all martial artists.
