I always run to audiobooks. Chelsea Handler were my first and I often laughed out loud!

^this! I live in Edmonton. It was -25 this morning not including the wind chill and I ran. Never thought that would be me. I hate the cold. As long as you layer appropriately, you should be fine! You may even learn to love it as I did!!

sure!

thanks y'all! I ask because I was told it would be too much. I have a running group 3x week and we're training for a half marathon in Feb so, mileage is high. Plus I play soccer once a week. As it is average -20 to -30 outside in the mornings, I'm hoping this (T25) will be a good replacement for my outdoor morning runs:)

Eat 10 to 20% LESS your TDEE, not a flat calorie amount. 20% of 1720 is only 344 calories. Also, I wish people would stop with the generalized analysis that 1200 is bad. It may be bad for most but not everyone depending on height, weight, goals, activity level, etc. My TDEE is 1510 so 1200 calories is fine for me... I…

sure!

If it's already cooked I sometimes add salsa, or make a "fried rice" with egg whites, lite soya sauce, and frozen mixed peas and corn. Or I may just dump my leftover spaghetti sauce on it. If cooking (depending on what I'm eating it with) coconut milk and/or a stick of lemon grass is easy. stock as mentioned above, too.

Psws0412 - the one with you in glasses! :)

I used to eat it straight out of the can with light creamy cucumber dressing. Got burned out on it though so now it's the standard mayo, onion, pickle, and celery

That sounds de-lish! I'll have to try that tonight!

This!!

well.... your "long runs" will get to be longer than two hours. I find that they aren't difficult to do, just time consuming! that's the daunting part - the time. if you like running, have been doing it a while, and are managing your mileage increases then it shouldn't be too bad physically. I find that listening to…

Up at 4.30am, work at 8, home by 6 and lots of time to prep a good, healthy meal and spend some q-time with the hubby. Maybe even another workout. I was NEVER a morning person. Always worked out at night but forced myself to change about a year ago when my schedule started to become a little more unpredictable. It's so…

DO IT! I would spend a few minutes before class and talk to the instructor and explain your concerns re: your knee. That way, s/he can offer modifications when they come up in class. other than that, the hardest part is going, once you get there, you'll wonder why it took you so long to try.

So many great ideas and lots that i would have mentioned here but two really easy ones I did...and am thinking of doing again... is i OVERestimate the portion/calorie i'm recording and UNDERestimate the calorie burn on my activity.

Dance!!

THIS^^

I bought mine from the Running Room. it's firm. go firm all the way. hurts so good! it best mimicks a deep tissue message and helps so much in muscle recovery. I absolutely recommend it. use mine after every workout and on off-days if i'm esspecially sore. i swear by it.

Triumphant!

South Edmonton! Anyone wanna help keep me accountable (ie food and exercise diary) and I can do the same? Hit me up!!

there is so much you can still do! i tore my acl and miniscus playing soccer and was "out " for about a year (diagnosis, mri, surgery, recovery/rehab). I was on a bike the week after my surgery and in physio. it hurt like heck - it was tough- but so worth it. I was cleared for prctice in less than 6 months post surgery.…
