P.S. Mean people suck.

Gotta agree with fatboypup to be prepared when you go, especially with small kids, but the local police are also a resource. You could call them if that happens again, that is what our taxes pay for. BUT you can get this really cool product for bikes called fix-a-flat which they make specficially for bike flats. Just…

You have inspired me to blog about this. You are the second person in 2 days ask this question. I've been runnig a LONG time and I'm here to tell you, spare no expense on your running shoes, go get properly fitted. Fleet Feet does a great job of this. Do NOT run every day, every other day is perfect. If you have shin…

Now you know why I went to a dietitian. Here is a truly great website for you: http://www.rochesternutrition.com/ remember, it is truly all about balanced eating, clean eating and a combination of strength and cardio training. Be blessed...

Swimming is a full body workout, your heart rate gets up there higher because oxygen is only available to you when you surface, vs walking where you can take a breath whenever you want to. The higher the heartrate the more you burn, baby! I LOVE swimming!

Nice work!!! I know EXACTLY how you feel! In fact, I went shopping last weekend and I had to take a bunch of clothes back to the racks when I was trying stuff on because I got the wrong sizes. For whatever reason, I have it my heart I'm 2 sizes bigger than I actually am, it's so weird!!!

Olive oil, drizzle some on your popocorn.

I've never done a full ironman but I am doing sprints and Olympic distance hoping to do a half iron next year.

Slice it thin and put it in lasagna.

I eat them all but onions. More than 1/2 your food intake should come from veggies, you can't over eat the non-starchy ones. So yum them up!

Not unless you use a stroller

Keep going you are so pretty. Ignore the horrid comments. I'm happy for you.

Eat tons of veggies then you won't go hungry.

You are doing way too many miles too fast. I don't care how many miles you are doing, my experience with shin splints and the dozens of runners I"ve met along the way will all tell you the same thing, starting a running program is mostly walking at first. If you are getting shin splints, my guess is you are taking on too…

Are u eating 2 pieces of fruit daily? Gotta eat fruit...

To finish a half ironman and when people see me they take me seriously as an athlete and that I give people some real competition.

It sucks but you can't target areas where you want to lose weight. Just losing weight and good cardio and weight lifting will help you firm up and lose weight. I just read today that 1 pound of muscle burns 35 calories and 1 pound of fat burns 2. So ramp up and build some muscle!

Hey Tall Girl, I'm tall too, 5'11" and I also am a biker girl. Well, actually I'm a triathlete. When I started I was up to 228 pounds, ee-gads that sucked! I'm currently fluxing between 175 and 176 my target goal is 155. I'll get there, I'm freaking determined, Dude. I know exactly the mind game you are in. I keep…

I did 2 or 3 sessions of P90X basically for the last 6 months or more, I can't even remember now. Anyway, ideally they say you burn 600 calories per workout. I felt that was over inflated, especially since I personally couldn't do every workout with as many reps as they did. For example, I can only do girl pushups and…

YOu are already doing it. Nothing will get you better toned than swimming and dancing.

PS Impossible to work out too much. As long as you have 1 day a week of rest you are good to go. I'm a triathlete and workout anywhere from 1-3 hours 6 days a week.

You only need to refuel during workouts if you workout longer than 1 hour per day. After you work out, you only need to fuel up eating half your calories you earned from working out. this came from my sports dietitian and I feel it is very accurate info. Typically a chocolate milk is all you need after a 1 hour work out to…

Use once again nut butter tahini that is sesame paste.

My sports dietitian said to eat back half the calories I burn. Go get your metabalism tested that will tell you exactly what your caloric intake should be.

I make lentil soup vegetarian style. So easy, dump in whatever cans of beans you like, plus your lentils throw in a bit of garlic and salt. That simple. you can't screw up lentils. I don't put any meat in at all, why ruin a great soup with nasty fattening pork and such? Gross!

I'm a vegetarian I often eat at subway or wegmans.
