  • I usually don't weigh myself the day or two after holidays/events. Just jump back on the train and and like jennwilliams7 said above, wait 3-5 days before weighing again. Most importantly, don't get down on yourself! :)

  • I used to run everyday. Now that I have incorporated strength training into my life, I try to get some form of cardio every other day, taking Sundays off (or Saturday, if I know I'll be doing some kind of fun run on Sunday) My strength trainer is concerned about the effects "pounding the pavement" has on my bones/back, so…

  • I love it when I can get past the odor of sweat. (Still working on that part) They say you get "used" to it! LOL. For a beginner, I was told to sit next to the door so you can get a little cool air reprieve from the air that gets in underneath the door jambs. Definitely bring a large water bottle. I tend to sweat a lot so…

  • Great post! Had a really hard work out at new body combat class two days ago and I am sooo sore today (and 2 lbs heavier!)

  • I always run with loud music on my ipod and just ignore the "lookers". If something angers me, I try to turn that negative energy into positive energy to fuel my runs. Imagine you are running faster AWAY from the offender :laugh:

  • I'm not an expert but I think weight training 3 times a week PLUS cardio two or three times a week is the best formula for strengthening and toning. I couldn't live without my cardio. My trainer has me running less time (to avoid stress on my bones/joints) but now doing intervals of fast and slow paces. I too, am concerned…

  • OMG!!! I just bought one from Lee's Sandwiches only to have eaten it and realized it had over 700 calories!?!? I admit they are more on the HUGE side of Char Siu Bao but I am shocked to learn that it has 700 calories. Lees Sandwiches has a nutritional list so assuming its correct. OK, guess that makes up my calories for…
