Same.

2 burgers, 3 sausages, 2 plates of potato salad.

I run to audio books, does that make me a loser? Currently on Harry Potter Order of the Pheonix...

I started with a set of adjustable dumbbells (it was cheaper than buying separate dumbbells in 5lb increments) and workout from this link: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw3.htm Keep track of the weights/reps you do for each exercise and continuously progress by adding reps/weights.

Doesn't matter, although I prefer doing weights first because I find cardio easier to do when tired.

Thanks for all of the advice and information. I think I will chill at the 5k mark for a bit, especially since I hope the snow will be melted in the next few weeks and I can get out on my bike a few days a week as well. Then I can move onto the 10k program after I have adjusted to the running/biking/strength load.

Flip this around and you can say it is easy to lose weight, you just eat a bit less here and there and more a lot more over time.

If you drank water you would be under 1300, not bad.

Somebody already mentioned one exercise, but if you Google 'tibialis anterior' and get some other workouts/stretches, they may help as well. That is the muscle on the front of your shin and it really gave me problems the first month I was running. The stretches and strengthening exercises really seemed to help.

Take some back pain medication or muscle relaxers, lay down in bed. That is what I usually do when I mess my back up.

Garmin Fit offers a subscription service to do something like this as well. It gives you a URL than people can access to see where you are.

I usually just practice my debating skills when I'm bored... I'm getting pretty good at it.

If the pain is in the front of your shin, try looking up tibialis anterior workouts/stretches. I have noticed a lot less soreness after doing them for a while. Also, make sure you are running with proper form. This video explains it pretty well in my opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J-7beA-daw

Definitely. I've eaten 1340 over my calories for the day on just the salad at a place we used to go to all the time (you have to try pretty hard to make a salad with 700 calories per bowl). I can't imagine how much over I would be if I factored in the 2 or 3 appetizers, bread, main course, dessert and my other meals for…

I'm in the middle of week 2, you can add me if you want.

You can always repeat a week if you want, but it might be easier to just consciously try to go slower when you are running.

Technically not a lie though, as you do weight more... :D

I use Garmin Fit to track my running and cycling. I also have an app called 'A HIIT Interval Timer' that lets me specify intervals pretty easily.

Get out and run! I just got back from an hour run/walk in the -25*C, the only problem was that my headphones stopped working halfway through and my eyelashes kept freezing together...

I'm not training for anything specific, just working my way through C25K, then hopefully the 10k and half versions. Anyone can add me if they want.

I've only eaten at Applebees once and everything I ate only stayed inside for about 15 minutes. How do you log that?

The more you drink, the less you retain. But it is possible to drink too much and throw your electrolyte levels off.

Run slower?

Just finished first week of C25K. Anybody can add me if they want.

I hate blacking out, so every week I have a 'cheat' day and eat burgers instead of pizza.

Practice makes perfect!

I just log it as 7 seconds of intense cardio.
