I plan out most of our meals well in advance, although I don't always make them on the day I had them scheduled for ... depends on what's happening and how much time I have. I buy most of my groceries for the week on the weekend (just came back from the city where we hit the farmers' market, organic food store, and our…

Hmmm ... seems doable. Count me in!

Bump for this weekend!

Great work!

I'm totally with you ... and I think, with a family, that weekends can be the hardest part. Sending you a request!

Way to go!

Great work!!!

Right now, I'm off for the summer, so tend to do strength training and cardio mid-afternoon, when my boys are having "quiet time." The next chance I get is around 9-9:30, which is when I usually do yoga. Once the academic year begins, I'll be back at the gym once I'm done teaching for the day ... usually around 2 or so,…

Bump. Week three, goal of 4500 this week.

It was pop on the west coast where I grew up, and is still pop in Saskatchewan. But I know that I've gotten funny looks in a number of the southern states when I've asked for pop, rather than soda.

I have a pair of New Balance with the Vibram material ... I've broken two toes on my right foot several times, and they just won't fit into the ones with toes. They give decent support for my flat feet, and I love the fit of them!

Certainly sounds like asthma to me ... reflux doesn't cause quite the same "my lungs are on fire" sensation. I'd get it checked out ... Good luck!

I'm going to agree with GanjaBall ... there's a lot of great information in this thread, and I think that tweaking things until they work for you is the way to go. I've been where you are--managed not to lose a pound for six months despite lots of work--and I can totally understand the frustration. All I can say is that…

1.27 miles run today, for a total of 2.45 miles.

I normally do strength training at the gym, but am off for the summer with my 4 and 5-1/2 year-old boys, so have switched to kettlebells until September ... easier to do than figure out the gym's byzantine daycare rules/schedule.

I'm currently re-reading Neil Gaiman's _American Gods_, and K. J. Parker's _The Company_ is next on my list.

I'm a professor and I'm hoping to make some decent progress over the summer before the insanity of the academic year begins again! Feel free to add me, and good luck to everyone over the summer!

Awesome idea. I'm doing couch to 5 K, so am going to concentrate on that ... I'd like to see 20 miles of running intervals this month, despite the nagging tendinitis in both Achilles. July 1: 1.18 miles

So very true, and great for re-motivating me to stick with it!

I'm off on summer break right now, but usually teach 6 Zumba classes a week. I'm alternating right now between a pair of Pumas (with the pivots on the ball of the foot) and a pair of New Balance Vibrams. I think it depends on how much support you need and what type of floor you're doing Zumba on. I know people who *love*…

I do a couple of things. I don't keep anything in the house that I used to eat when stressed. I've been "replacing" my stress eating with exercise ... when I feel I need to eat because of stress, I'll go do yoga or go for a run for about 20 minutes. If I'm still hungry after that, then I'll have a healthy snack. It doesn't…

Way to go!!
