  • there are some great nonfat greek yogurts and i usually cut up an apple and dip it in it! Also, there are some great low-cal protein shakes that taste decent! and non-fat milk has like 8 grams per cup!
  • i'm in! how awesome! i'm gonna start training for a half marathon this month, so this will motivate me for sure! SW: 249.2 (1/2/08) Lowest: 160.1 (5/1/10) CW: 197.2 (3/3/10) Goal: 160... For the month, I want to lose 15 pounds!
  • i hate fast food, so this is easy for me, but i'm gonna do it as well! for me, the drive-thru is the coffee stand and i'm giving it up!
  • Man, this got me drooling! In the Great Northwest, we have prime breweries! Boundary Bay has an amazing oatmeal stout! So hearty, it's like a meal :) Also, Birdsview Brewery on the way to Mt. Baker has an amazing fruit hefe!! When I'm in Portland, I love a Wowzenbock from Deschutes as well!
  • just a bit of advice: make sure you swim enough if you are not a strong swimmer. i've done two sprint triathlons and swimming takes it out of you, so get in the pool and it builds your running endurance as well :)
  • my fastest one mile time is 6:42. when i first started running january 2, 2008, my first one mile time was 11:08. keep it up and you will be surprised how fast your averages drop and try to get outside, because i've found my times are way better outside than on a treadmill due to more interesting scenary :)
