  • Can you cite evidence for this? It is very interesting.
  • Were you one of the rooks moving up and down the board chasing the queen? :happy: Fact from MiCoach... On Sunday I jogged 13.14 miles in 2:05:13 and burned 2005 calories. I weigh 197. I can't believe I could have burned the same number of calories squating for 6 minutes. It sure would be nice to have that 1:59 back in my…
  • add a peanut butter dip to the fruit skewers and greek yogurt dip. some natural peanut butter and honey or agave syrup.
  • made a great smoothie last night, actually it was more like ice cream. 1 container of strawberry yogurt frozen (aldi friendly farms) 5 large strawberries frozen half a banana frozen 1.5 cups milk .5 cups costco margarita mix. i loved the tang that the margartia mix added.
  • I'm normally pretty good during the day but come evening time I crave ice cream - usually the fruity kinds, not chocolately ones. I recently started drinking smoothy every night and it curbs the craving for ice cream. I try to save 300-500 calories for 8 or 9 oclock pm and that's when I make my smoothy. Frozen yogurt (not…
  • Shell, is that uncooked oats or do you actually make the oatmeal and put it in the blender with the other ingredients?
  • Sounds like a new country song title ... It's Friday Somewhere! Actually, I work with a lot of people in Singapore and Malaysia and it IS friday there, about 3am Friday.

  • Forefoot and midfoot provide the same benefit. I'm usually forefoot when running fast and midfoot when running normally. Google, Good Form Running. It's more than just foot strike. It includes foot placement under your center of mass and body alignment. [/quote] Thanks! There is hope for me after all! :drinker: [/quote]…
  • This 1000X. Dont worry about what anyone driving by in car thinks about you, good or bad. On the subject of your mother, i'm sure that wasn't the response you were hoping for. Our families can be a little difficult when we better ourselves. I'm guessing your mother has never been too encouraging of your successes in the…
  • Relax, eat normal or little less throughout the day. Maybe give it an extra 30-40 mins of cardio if you still feel guilty. If this is a common thing, the idea of almond milk or chocolate milk before bed is a good one. My bad time is from the time i get home from work until dinner - it may 30 mins or it may be 2 hours but…
  • ???I've already got 3 kids of my own and don't want another!!! But if you are in the market for a new kid that sounds like a good deal to get one with a food processor and blender. I live near the Vitamix factory and every year around xmas they sell their refurbished units for something like half price but i've never…
  • Me too!!! But then again wrap dresses never really looked good on me no matter what i weighed. Actually after keeping 30 lbs off for 4 years I finally bought new jeans - 32s. I kept wearing my old 36s just cuz I wanted to remember how much I had lost. I'm still using the same belt, it's a little more than a 1/4 of the way…
  • Ninja for making smoothies and banana ice cream. Potato masher - but not for mashing potatos, for smashing avocados for guacamole.
  • i think the easy answer is protein powder, in a shake, in yogurt, on oatmeal. It doesnt matter how you get it but it is usually high in protein and carbs with very little fat. Another idea would be to spread your fat out through the day a little more meaning leaner or less chicken or less avo on the salad. My final thought…
  • Wow, I freeze all kinds of fruit when in season locally for use later in smoothies. Mangos (not actually local to northern ohio, but when i find them for a good price i buy a lot and dice and freeze them). Local strawberries are plentiful right now, I'll buy a lot of them this week, wash, cut the top off and freeze them.…
  • My company's cafeteria always puts the overripe bananas out on the counter for free. I take a few home 2 or 3 times a week. Peel, quarter and freeze for later use in smoothies and protein shakes. For those of you who freeze them without peeling, how the heck do you get the peel off once they are frozen? I did this once and…

  • If you were in the hospital for 4 days after childbirth in the US you either have incredible insurance or there were some issues with you or the child at the time, I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just reality. And I know as a father, if my wife and newborn were in the hospital for 4 days after childbirth I would be…
  • I didn't watch the video but I'm calling BS on the whole story. A couple, young enough to be having kids, she has a $23k ring and they are participating in a community garage sale. On top of all that, she's in the hospital for 4 days (either the kid was not healthy or the mother had some issues because even a c-section is…
  • Yep, happens to me on every pair of trainers and running shoes i buy. Asics, Brooks, Nike, Adidas... And it has happended regardless of size 8, 8.5 or 9 for me. For me it happens in my right shoe first and then my left. Both of my heels have a bit of a "knot" that sticks out just above the heel bone, the right one a little…
  • What do you mean the plastic suits did nothing? As a college wrestler they were great for sweating off the last few pounds to make weigh ins. I liked to come in 10lbs overweight 2 hours before weigh in, put on sweats under the plastics and sweats over. All I had to do was run about 30 mins then keep moving 10 mins out of…
  • I've used the app on my droid phone a few times, mostly when I'm traveling and go out for a run. I use the free run to track my time, distance and location in case I get lost. This works with phone's gps. This week I just started using it to train for a half marathon in 3 months. I put in some basics about my current…

  • I've used the MiCoach Adroid app occassionally for a few month. Usually just to track my distance and location on free runs when I'm traveling. But just this week I started using the app to train for a half marathon in Sept. Right now I only use the app on my android phone but I'd like to get the pacer and heart rate…
  • I find the newer moisture management fabrics (name brand, not the cheap ones you get at a 5k) are more comfortable than running shirtless, and you dont need to worry about sun screen.
  • I didn't read all the posts, but if you just bought a scale and checked your weight, that means your original weight was checked on a different scale. Scales can vary significantly. So check your weight again on the same one you did on May 10th. Try being consistant on what scale you use and when you check your weight.…
  • Cup frozen yogur, 1/2 cup milk, scoop vanila protein, 2 tablesoppns peanut butter, 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup.
  • you have great calves now, go buy some inexpensive sandals and show off the calves.
