OBSERVE: Take a moment and write down three observations of the verses. What strikes you? An observation is an observable fact from the Word. 1. Jesus spent a night struggling that His Father would stop what was about to occur and he had the ability within him to fight against the arrest, but He didn't. The grace of God…

That's beautiful, made me think of my own grandma's who are both with the Lord.

I just tried to find this out for myself a couple of days ago. My method: I cooked a 16 oz box and the only thing I could get from my calorie checking is uncooked pasta, 2 oz dry is 200 calories. Could find nothing about cooked. I took a big serving spoon that held about 3/4 cup and filled single serve dishes with equal…

Thanks for sharing that!!! I have never been athletic either and hated HS PE. I am in week 5day2 of c25k. I'm scared of the 20 minutes coming up so I plan to stay here a little while. I am so encouraged by what you just shared.

Girl you look healthy and fit - fabulous!! It's great to see that you found what works for you within your busy lifestyle and that you are not trying to sell us your "weight loss" shake. :-) I too am on the little bit at a time goal and impressed when I get there so I set another goal path. Thanks for sharing your success!!

I have never been a runner previous but just did week 4 day 1 today. I did stick with week 3 for 2 weeks in a row because I was struggling with breathing, and had to learn how to stretch because my legs were killing me (I saw a personal trainer to learn this). For the first time since starting I made sure I took a real day…

Your dedication to your health and perseverence in doing what it takes shows. Great work!

I am in my third week and have never been athletic.... ever! I am in a class taught by a former professional runner and now personal trainer as I seek my goal of my first 5K in October. Comparing others in my class and hearing how it's going for each of us I don't see that weight is an issue. First, go to a running store…

I agree with the foam roller and I have one too. It hurts but so helpful. Just recently started C25K and had lots of leg muscle pains. Another member suggested some beginner joga stretches. I founds this video and now do these stretches after my run days ... I have found recovery time to be so much better and it gets the…

I am not as advanced as you, but I found that the over the counter medication "BACK AID" is tylonol with a diuretic that is not caffiene. It stops my muscles from swelling so badly and does take the pain away even thought the muscles are tight. I posted a topic about legs killing me from my workouts not long ago and a…

Hi I am in week 2 day 2 today. I am 5'6 1/2" and weigh around 175'ish I know over the past three weeks I have lost 4 inches all over but have not weighed myself. I have struggled with very sore muscles and believe I have found what I need to do to coax them while they are strengthening. I have never been a runner in my…

I'm glad you posted this topic. I also feel that anxiety. When I am not anxious about being alone for safety issues I am anxious about who will see me and want to talk (I have a somewhat public job and many people know me even though I do not necessarily know who they are). I had my husband mow me a trail around our yard…

I am in week 2, but had been doing cardio walk/ jog using a dvd in my living room for a couple of months. I plan to walk dvd (leslie sansone) and some yoga stretching in between days for at least 5 days a week. I have had ALOT of leg muscle pain/ stiffness in my efforts to add the jog on the pavement and just got fitted…

Hi! I am a teacher too and teach high school health in addition to a college articulated nutrition class. I was fit and ate very nutritionally until I became a full time teacher and then I sat in front of the computer more and ate alot of fast junk. :-( I started my thoughts of a fitter life last summer and this past May…

I started week 2 day one yesterday and was feeling lots of leg muscle pain, but after checking into some new running shoes designed for my step and a post about it someone suggested some yoga stretching.. (wonderful advice), ready to continue practice tomorrow. I hope to be a part of a 5K first Saturday in October. Would…

Today I did a light walking workout (Leslie Sansone) slight soreness, not bad and then followed it with beginner yoga for leg pain........... yes, the yoga stretching, yes. I feel SO much better tonight and took no over the counter meds today for pain because I did not need to. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I get that way. I am going to paste a paragraph of a blog entry I just made: "I have seen a eating program that encourages people to eat when you feel hungry, take a small bite of the best part of the steak if you want steak, and don't worry about calories. When I do these things I constantly have food as a focus and let…

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I tried to go thank you for your response, but MFP just limited me and said I cannot contact for than 5 non friends in less than 10 minutes. So now I will have to say a general THANKS for the great list of places to look posted here!

If you don't want to track calories, then it's okay to find out about other methods that will work for your goals but in my opinion the scale alone is not the best measure especially if you tend to weigh daily or freak out over 3-5 pounds either way of your target. I like tracking my calories because it gives me instant…

Perhaps this website explanantion can help you. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/bodyfat.htm "Body fat measurements and the measuring tape are recognized as superior methods for measuring "weight loss". When one declares that they want to "lose weight", what they often mean is that they want to lose fat. So, now that…

Tough one, I have some clothes that are to big, but keep for the same reason. I like the sell them/ consign then suggestion. I have not yet figured out what NSV means exactly yet, but I know it related to the changes with weight loss.

sending you a request also.

I had a co worker I am close with notice after summer break, but she asked with concern. I noticed you are looking thinner but I want to make sure it's not because you've been sick. Some people might hold back not knowing whether to compliment or whether to console. Right before that I changed by hair style and had a ton…

In in the US and haven't been evaluated by a doctor for more than BMI. I am not at goal weight, am at the high end of my BMI and just did the hip/waist ratio. I am pear shaped and measure in at .77777. However when I calculate the height and consider waist is to be 1/2 of that I am two inches over. I'm curious to know the…

Nice answer. :-) However, what about smoking. If I was a smoker and my spouse bought me cigarettes even if I had serious health issues already. Isn't that the same? Or maybe I am a thrill seeker who does stupid dangerous stunts. Where will the line be drawn. A heart patient dying during sex due to over exerting.????

What one calls "healthy" another may call disgusting. Homemade breads take some time to learn how to do correctly, but fortunately flour is cheap for the learning. I make up a pizza crust when I have time, place it in the frig for when I want it. i can make that crust as thin or thick as I want when it comes time to bake.…

Tough one, I have to agree with ^^^. Married for 24 years here and I have come to the realization that my wonderful other half cant be EVERYTHING to me. is I need support in an area he doesn't "get" then I have to find what I need... like here is not a bad place to get that. He doesn't encourage me to exercise, but doesn't…

The healthy kids act has been in effect in the US since July of 2012. No one can profit from sales of "junk" food during the school day. As a high school teacher I see kids doing exactly --^-- this, or order pizza and have someone with a drivers license run and get it to bring it to the common area. The school lunch…
