I run Ragnars and we use a reflective vest, headlamp, and a blinking red light that clips to the back of your shirt. Just as much as you want to be able to see you need to be seen too. I use a running baseball cap on with my headlamp which makes it not move at all. You should practice some night runs wearing your gear so…

I did eat the dish with fennel in it and liked it :) I had fennel only once before years ago and found the flavor way too strong but maybe it was the way it was prepared. This time it was in a egg noodle casserole with red onion and asparagus and was very good!

Poppycooo do you like guacamole? I'm not a big avocado person but fresh guacamole is so good; just have to watch out for eating too many chips with it though!

I've got a spring casserole on my menu this week which has fennel in it, we'll see how that goes...

LadyPinkMan: For non-meat protein try peanut butter (or other nut butters), Greek yogurt, quinoa (I make either a salad or use in homemade granola bars), beans. I am currently in love with the chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars which have 21 gr protein in only 190 calories. Good luck at your dinner tonight!

Big fan of pre-logging, I do it every morning. I ate at the high end of my calories today and had some pasta (still at a deficit) because tomorrow is a running day and I felt really sluggish on my last run. Trying to motivate to go do a workout video as soon as my daughter falls asleep which I don't think will be anytime…

I ate at a deficit and still was able to have a wonderful dinner with calories left over to enjoy some wine with my husband later tonight. It was super hot today compared to what it's been but I got in a little over a 4 mile run this afternoon too. Sweated like crazy!!

Had a good day today with healthy eating at a deficit and got in a good 40 min workout this evening.

I have a wedding to attend in exactly 8 weeks. I been fairly focused on eating clean and hitting my workouts the past 3-4 weeks and am currently down almost 8 lbs. I don't know if I'll make my goal weight in time (would need fairly aggressive weight loss) but I'm determined to get as close to it as possible in the next 8…

This could a simple fix of just getting the right running shoes. Whenever I get knee pains, it means it's time to replace my running shoes and that solves it. Make sure you go to a running store and get properly fitted.

I recommend quinoa if you want vegetarian high protein...I love this salad: http://www.cookingquinoa.net/spinach-quinoa-tabbouleh/
