My first half marathon: 2:11:25, about on pace (10 minute miles). Very chilly racing day.

This weekend is the Happy Valley half marathon. It will be my first half marathon. I'm nervous, mostly because the weather suddenly turned cold and it takes me a mile to even warm up enough to find my pace.

Trying to get ready for a run. Cringing at the temperature. I'd rather be a sweaty mess than freezing for the first mile these days. In the cold everything just hurts.

First 1/2 marathon, October 22nd with an eye on the Toronto marathon in may. Mostly looking to finish and have a steady pace. No big goals, other than enjoy myself.

The rest of the chocolate cookies I baked and the butter bread I just made, still warm from the oven and oh so tempting!

I ditch shoes when I stop feeling the shock absorption working. Usually the first place I start feeling my shoes no longer working is my ankles or hips. They will start feeling every stride. And aching. Usually I will wear out my work/walking shoes until they have holes, but with my running shoes my body is much pickier.…

Like you I have an active job. I use a step counter to adjust my calories or I would never eat enough (barn manager - 30,000 steps per day most of the time). I also found myself lacking energy. I kept the 50/30/20 but changed my breakfast a bit to include a high protein smoothie (usually power greens, high protein yogurt,…

Soda and white pasta. Soda just tastes weird to me now (metallic, too sweet), and pasta I usually only cook if I have company or a bad day. It fits, calorie wise, but not my macros, and while that isn't always important it sometimes leaves me feeling grumpy and lethargic. So I don't miss those things, I miss how my body…

I am 5'0, maintenance range 105-115. I have an active barn job, run, and do martial arts. My maintenance calories if I just do my job (no riding, running, or martial arts) are around 1750. Usually I eat between 1570 and 2200 any given day.

Good morning! Going to be way too hot again today!

Milanos, an entire bag. Toasted Marshmallow or Orange!

@Rachelmilloy nah. The peppermint part is a college nickname, while caroline is my name. July 1st: 108.9 July 8th: 110.2 Only been struggling with google fit trying to get it to sync correctly!

July 1st: 108.9 (BF 23.7) July 8th: 110.2 (BF 24.1) Feeling good, weight been pretty steady. Google fit and tracker not getting on well. Seriously considering getting another fit bit, just haven't been able to justify the cost.

I got kicked out of high school mid sophomore year

I'm feeling really tipsy right now. And I only had one drink.

I aimed for 115 first, then decided to go for 110 after a winter between 115 and 120. I am 5' and 30, with an active job, so reasonable for me. I wish I could run 10k under an hour! Working on it... last 10k took me 1:23:06, so pace of 12 min/mile. Currently working on 10 min/mile pace. I'll see how the 5 mile goes in…

Hi! I'm Caroline, and turned 30 in April. I am at maintenance right now (110), with my highest weight being 150, 2 years ago. I am 5'0, so on the short side. I run, do yoga, martial arts, ride, and occasionally swim. So cardio, not much in the strength training area (working on that).

Walked in to a store, saw sweet cherries for 2.99 per lb. Also got basil, tomato, brie, fresh mozzarella and did some lunch prep.

Just going to maintain, hopefully. Family vacation is July 21st-28th so no weigh in them for sure (no scale). GW: 110 July 1st: 108.9 (BF 23.7)

6/29/18 - 110.9 I hit maintenance about a week ago. My weight still varies wildly every day. July is going to be insane, but I'll try to check in regularly. (Moving work and home, family vacation 21st-28th, insanity.)

Not my normal update day but I hit 109.8 this am! Yay goal! Now to maintenance...

Oh, I forgot my horse. He was a lesson horse. Now he lives the good life, of mostly retired bratty pony.
