  • I am used to under 10%humidity so anything higher than that is pretty miserable. Down there you can probably swim down the street :D
  • I love love love fish tacos with cilantro slaw! I dust the fish, usually tilapia, in cornmeal and pan fry them in a couple of tsp of olive oil. chop that up, wrap it in a corn tortilla and pile the slaw on top. Mmmmmmmm I could eat the slaw with a fork and be a happy girl. I don't have the recipe in front of me but it is…
  • I am currently clinically euthyroid and off all of my meds, but a couple of years ago when i was on synthroid I managed to lose 40 lbs. 177 down to 137. I started off just trying to eat at maintenance but exercise like a fiend 5 or 6 days a week. The only thing that managed to do was make me hungry all of the time. When I…
  • excellent ideas! thank you :)
  • I have about one strong cup a day with half and half and splenda. I can always tell if I brewed it too light or forgot all together because I will have a POUNDING headache by about 1pm. I am terrified to give it up when I go off to boot camp next year!
  • W4D2 today. It went better than I thought it would considering I didn't sleep well last night! I switched from listening to music to listening to an audio book that I rented from the library and that really helped with my clock watching tendencies! 5 minutes seems shorter when I am listening to a book versus listening to…
  • oh yes I understand that salt is important. I am just feeling grumpy at it for making my scale creep up a tad! :grumble: :grumble: I am a little overly focused on the scale right now because I can't join up with the Guard until I am comfortably under 160.
  • We are in the same spot and I feel exactly the same way! Almost as soon as I got the cue to start my cool down both of my calves seized up which made the next 1/4 mile quite unpleasant. I guess that is what I get for slipping into my old shoes this morning instead of my running shoes!
  • W3 in the rear view. Next week my 3 minute runs jump up to 5 and that is a bit scary! Even with an app I find myself checking the clock. Congratulations to the graduates!!
  • string cheese! I could live on the stuff. It's a snack and entertainment in one :bigsmile:
  • Great job!
  • I did W3D2 today. I came within a few paces of giving up and going home. I wasn't particularly tired or sore, I was just caught in a mental loop of self defeating thoughts about how all of my hard work is just never going to be enough. I am planning on joining the Air National Guard in a few months and no amount of…
  • I did w3d1 this morning and it was going really well until some $#%#$%^ decided to whip out of his garage without looking and nearly creamed me! I was about 15 seconds from the end of my last 3 minute run and it completely killed my sense of accomplishment to have to screech to a halt. After said $%#$%# drove off, after…
  • This is my first time chiming in but I just finished week 2 and will be starting week 3 on Monday! My first 5k is scheduled for July 20th in my home town. I will only be at the end of week 6 by then but I am hopeful that I can stumble my way through it. I will probably bring up the rear with all of the elderly and people…
  • I am starting week 3 on monday! I use Pandora for my music and RunDouble to track my intervals. I found that the rundouble app would crash if I tried to use it in combination with google music. As incentive to keep it up, I have already signed up for my first 5k in my home town on July 20. It is amazing how that knowledge…
