Ditto. That suit is just fabulously cool. You will triumph! Keep us updated, and best of luck in your race.

Thanks for the link. I've enjoyed reading a few of your posts and have bookmarked it for when I have time to go back and browse a few more. Interesting reading!

This is an irritation for me too. After only about ten minutes into a workout, the tingling and numbness start to amp up more than usual, and by the end of the workout, my feet always feel webbed and my fingers are novacaine-like numb. And those are my least bothersome symptoms. The overheating seems to also really effect…

Benji, thanks for the suggestion. I make sure I get at least 9 cups of water each day, but looking back at my food diary over the past month, I see my water intake has fallen from about 13-15 cups/day to between 9 -11. So, I'll try and ramp that back up and see if it helps any.

Yeah, I definitely go through spells of joint pain/ issues. The pain sensation varies- it's not always the same feeling or even in the same joints and it's kinda hard to even exactly describe it. Sometimes it's just kind of vaguely achy; other times it's a crushing agony. But as a few have already mentioned- it almost…

Rob- what an inspirational story! That put such a smile on my face just reading it! You have to be so proud of yourself and know that you can once again meet your goals. What a positive outlook- I'm so glad you're part of our group now!

Hi Erica! Welcome! Adding you now.

It was a really hard lesson for me to learn, but I try to listen to my body as much as possible. Mornings are by far, physically, the best time of the day for me- so if I'm feeling it then, I usually can't count on things improving much as the day goes on. And although it takes a serious internal lecture to convince myself…

I do this, too. I'm a huge planner, especially when it comes to food (when it comes to pretty much everything, really) . I have weekly menus, snacks for kids, shopping lists, etc always planned out, written down, kept track of..... I do think it helps me focus on healthy eating better. If I know what I'm going to have for…

New here in the last couple of days. 37 yr old mother of three. Any of y'all feel free to add me!

LOVE!! the quote. So appropriate for the new year. I'm new here too- well, to the message boards, I go through fits and spurts of keeping the food diary, so I thought maybe being a part of the community would make it a little easier to stay motivated and dedicated. Here's hoping. Feel free to add me if you'd like some…

Hi Liz! Let's help each other!

Hi There! I'm also a busy mom to three. I don't work outside the home, but help my husband with his business, homeschool my youngest (12 yr old) and feel like I'm constantly running him and my other two (16 & 14) around to sports and practices and school functions and friends, etc. I'm new to the boards, but looking for…
