I'm still getting used to these message boards, I'm too used to Facebook notifications :) I keep forgetting to check in. I haven't started walking again yet. The weather is fabulous and I want to walk tonight, but my honey is out for the evening. I am so not about to take the kids! Elbee - Good to see you so active! Melody…

Hoping within a few more days I will be able to start catching up to you guys! Cortisone shots on board, just waiting to see if they work. I should start feeling better anytime between now and Saturday :-D

I got another quick walk in yesterday...my sciatic nerve is acting up again so I might have to back off a bit. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that it's affecting my foot the most!

Weather is a factor here (Minnesnowta), but got 15 minutes in today, took a brisk walk during my lunch break :-)

I had an ob/gyn diagnose me with PCOS based on symptoms only (i.e. no hormone/thyroid panel). Tried birth control pills for awhile, but they gave me migraines. Saw an endocrinologist who ran every test under the sun, the results were all normal so he said no PCOS. But of course that doesn't mean the symptoms went away. All…

Good point on the warm-up/cool-down. It's easy to forget when you're thinking oh I can just go do 15 or even 20 minutes of walking right now. Getting in the habit now will only help in the long run!

I've been on a cranberry & flax kick lately, but also like blueberry & almond. I think fruit and nuts are great additions, get a little bit of sweetness and little bit of protein!

I'm in! I might go more aggressive than the Conservative schedule, but I'm not ready for the Regular schedule either!
