Running and P90x (or sometimes 22 minute Hard Corps)

I'm 39...returning to MFP after a break. I developed some bad habits again and need to get back into better shape. I'm starting to run again and doing P90x again. I used to run a lot and completed several rounds of P90x. For my 35th birthday present to myself, I ran a 1/2 marathon. Next year for my 40th birthday present to…

I can relate. I lost 45lbs a few years ago and have gone up and down several times. I have gained quite a bit back in the past year. I started this week trying to lose 30lbs (again) and get back into running and strength training.

I'm 37 and want to lose about 25 pounds.

I have three kids also, ages 11, 9, and almost 6. I need to be better about feeding my kids too--between work schedules and sports and all the other activities, we eat on the run a lot. How old are your kids?

I am 5'4" and fluctuating between 160 and 165. I would like to get down to 135-140 again.

I grow about 8 different varieties of hot peppers and use them to make my own sauce...but if I have to buy sauce we usually get El Yucateco red or green habanero sauce.

A frittata with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon or sausage, herbs, onion, hot peppers, and whatever else I might have that sounds good. This reminds me that I haven't made one in a while but I love them. Lately it's been a protein shake with Optimum Nutrition vanilla ice cream flavor and milk. Oh, and coffee. Always…

My Kindergartener goes full day and does not get homework. Sometimes she brings worksheets home for practice and she likes doing them because she watches her older brother and sister do their homework and wants to join in and she thinks it is fun. But it's one sheet maybe 2-3 times per week----and it's not required to be…

That was nice to read--thanks for sharing. I love running...I can't really express it as well you did but I can identify with a lot of things you wrote. I love trail running...alone. One of my most favorite memories ever is a 10 mile trail run during a heavy snowstorm. There was not a single soul out except for me...even…

35 out of 50.

Yum, this sounds like something I would love!

I'm a 36yo (almost 37) mom to 3 kids with about 30lbs to lose.

That looks delicious!

36.5 yo here! I recently moved away from MN after living there for 10 years (and 5 years in WI before that). I miss some things about MN for sure...not that ever lasting winter though! Will send you a friend request!

I made a frittata with spinach, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, and herbs. Probably my favorite breakfast.

I am 5'4" and currently about 153. I would like to get down around 135.

I used to be the same way. I think I was more addicted to the creamer than the coffee! And I would waste at least 200 calories a day to creamer. I tried several other options (coconut milk creamer, a splash of chocolate milk, etec) but nothing was good enough. But about 10 days ago I got a stomach virus and I couldn't…

Let's Go Blues!!!

I think I am going to do the same thing with my front porch area. We had a completely bare landscape when we moved into this house and I want to do mostly edible landscaping. I grew curry last year and I loved the smell so much--I would go out to the garden just to touch the curry and smell it, haha. Will definitely grow…

I have a trellis and I grew some Jack-Be-Littles on there but I haven't tried it with bigger pumpkins. Maybe I will try it with some sugar pumpkins this year.

I have a small kitchen garden. This year I was lazy and didn't start from seed so I will be buying starts. I grew most of my stuff from Baker Creek seeds last year and those plants grew so much better than the plants I bought. Oh well...I will try to be more on top of things next year. various herbs habanero peppers...lots…

I lost almost 50lbs at age 34 (female) eating usually 1600-1800 calories a day with some days between 2000-2400. I started at 185 ish and got down to 134 or so. I ate whatever I wanted but tracked calories closely and I was running about 30 miles a week at a decent pace and doing p90X.

Not me personally, but my sister did. She doesn't run a ton but has done a few 5k and finishes quite well for her age group. She's never had a running injury. She had knee surgery a long time ago and her knees don't bother her. The only thing that does rarely is her lower back.

I see it too. It's always harder for us to see the progress in ourselves.

I am in for 60 miles

Ahh, I can't get myself up early in the morning either. My husband and I work opposite shifts mostly and we have three kids.

I love those boots, by the way. :)

Congratulations and congratulations! :)

GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!
