My goal? Is to become happy with who I am which means getting my eating "problem" under control! So that all my hard work will finally show and stop just maintaining! Also to get my personal trainer's certification and run a marathon!

I love love love hockey! I play, but not seriously cause I kinda suck lol! And mostly road hockey because I don't know that I could skate and stick handle at the same time! I'll get out on the river with the boys once it freezes to see how tipsy I am this year haha! My boys play for Stirling Ontario which just won Kraft…

Definitely rest!! No leg work or cardio for a bit! Your body is trying to tell you something! Better to rest now a bit then get frustrated everytime you try to run and can't without pain! I was laid up for a month or more with a knee injury because I was too stubborn to relax!! As for elliptical....try putting weight on…

Ha! Still way more than I am making an hour now, even with my promotion lol! Sad eh? But at least it would be more fulfilling!

Thanks!! I know our local YMCA offers a certification class but I think they only offer it twice a year and I missed out on the last class and now would have to wait until September for the next one! I will have to talk to an instructor there to see exactly what it's about, plus I know I also have to get my first aid too!…

I totally did misunderstand, please forgive my totally off the wall overexaggeration! All is good!

Oh yeah, and thanks for reminding me this is why I stopped visiting this site!!!

Excuse me, let me rephrase!! My FINISHER"S MEDAL!!! And I did finish!! And coming where I have came from I was proud to have that medal hung around my neck!!!!

Do you know what else I hate? When you are showing off your participant's medal after just completing your very first 1/2 marathon and your asked " Did everyone get a medal?"......REALLY?????? Do not cheapen my experiece!!!!! I did do walk/run intervals! For 21kms!!!!!!! Did I just "run" my very first 1/2 marathon? Why…

The dreaded push up!!! I hate them too!! I like the push up bar idea, or just some dumbbells. I also find doing them off of a bosu ball or a stepper a little easier, I started out doing wall pushups, then moved to counter height pushups. Maybe not as effective? I dunno, but at least they are still push ups of a sort! And I…

The elliptical is a great machine! It gives a nice variety too! I usually add intervals, so for maybe a minute don't work so much on the speed, but challenge yourself with raising the level of intensity, then do another minute of speed, then try backwards speed, then backward on a higher level. This of course will all get…

I am waiting for responses as well!! I am running a 1/2 tomorrow too and calling for rain! It's supposed to be mild so I am thinking shorts and a tank, the less wet clothes I have clinging to me the better! I will throw a hat on to keep the rain out of my face! And I am confused on shoes too! I don't want to ruin my new…

Welcome!! I am from Ontario!! I totally get food struggles!!

Ummmm, am I Canadian? Yesssss!! Mostly road hockey with my kids!! And how many calories do I burn? Who knows, a heck of a lot though, I am sure!! I know that doesn't help lol!

Me too!!! How bad is it that I am eating a cadbury creme egg as I am reading this thread lol! And I couldn't even log everything so I just added "too many candy too record" on my food notes!! But everyone's right! It happens! The more guilt you place on yourself the more you are bound to keep "blowing" it!! Just dust…

Mom of three boys here! I have a 17, 9 and 4 year old! And I work part time outside of the home! What a ride!!! :smile:

Thanks so much for this post:) I am doing my first Spartan Sprint in June and am so so excited!! And a little nervous about embarrassing myself lol!! Hope you have a great time!! :smile:

Don't know how that keeps happening lol!!

I completely agree that Christmas has gone beyond the extremes. Honestly thinking back I really have no fond memories of that favourite toy or the best present. Memories of Christmas for me was sitting around the tree singing carols while dad played the guitar, stringing popcorn while sipping hot chocolate, attending the…
