I'm pretty sure the leg pain is from the walk. I didn't stretch before it either. And I've been paying attention to to how I walk with that foot, and I definitely put most of my weight on the inside edge. I was reading that weak ankles are usually caused by previous injuries, but if that's the case, it happened so long ago…

I definitely try not to put weight on it.

Nope, I'd never heard of gait analysis before reading mfp forums, but I do plan to look into it. All I actually know is that I have flat feet. I have to figure out where a shoe place is near me.

Today, after the walk yesterday, the outside of my left calf hurts. Idk if it's from the snow, or the shoes, or the way I walk. I know that my left ankle is weak as it is, because every time I walk down stairs it feels like it wants to give out. And when I walk, my toes point out, but Idk if that's normal, or not.

I used to drink 5 or 6 cans of regular pop a day, at least, and then coffee in between. When I logged back into mfp, I completely stopped drinking pop and aimed to drink 64 ozs of water, with a cup of coffee in the morning and evening. It could be coincidence, but I lost a lot of bloat. Then, for a few reasons, I stopped…

A ditch jump would land me in a snowbank, but at least my fall would be cushioned, lol. In summer, the road wouldn't be too bad to run on. My friend says the town recently built a track, so I'm going to check it out when I get a chance.

I think I maybe confused pace with endurance, because when I say paced I mean being able to run for awhile without having to stop to recover. Or feeling like I'm going too fast. But that's from not having a good endurance to begin with, right?

This is going the other way (the one I was not familiar with ). I walked about a mile to check it out. Once you get to the far end of this stretch, it slopes downhill, and there is an S curve. And there is a little 2 lane bridge, which doesn't have much shoulder because of the snow. The problem is that I kept crossing,…

You're talking about the stuff online that does something like burpees, then high knees, then pushups, right? But hiit is basically meant for interval running? I would like that, because it's the sprinting that I enjoy. But I also like the sense of accomplishment that comes from paced running, if that makes sense. And it's…

Thanks again. I've actually been gearing my workups towards calisthenics, and I'm pretty sure I would love hiit, but I think I am a bit scared I wouldn't be able to keep up. I am familiar with the gist of c25k, and I'm probably going to start with that. I can jog for 30 seconds straight, but my problem is learning to pace…

Lots for me to think about now :smiley: I'm sure I'll have to start with c25k or something similar. I have no idea where I stand with my running readiness. Does that work like muscle memory does... Does your body quickly remember how to do it?

Yeah I know of those ones, and like them. I'll have to look up the butt one. Squats are one of the things I like. :smile:

Thanks. I bookmarked that page. I do get bored pretty quickly with my routines, so I end up changing them every few days. I don't have access to a gym, so I have been doing home workouts and I find that YouTube helps me stay focused. If I follow a written workout with my music playing, I end up singing and distracted lol.

Thanks. That sounds pretty doable.

I am new (3weeks almost, the longest I've ever worked out. 6 days a week.) It may sound juvenile, but I basically dared myself. I either want to get into heavy lifting, or to be able to get into scorpion pose, as my goal. And I told myself that I have to commit to working out for 90 days before I can quit. I'm theorizing…

Gosh, you guys are inspiring, and making me think I'm seriously slacking, lol.

Thanks. I do have 2 and 5lb dbs. I should have specified that I don't have access to heavy weights, lol. I have found YouTube especially helpful, and have been looking into blogilates. I did a YouTube workout the other day, but made the mistake of not stretching beyond what she did (not blogilates), and it was heavy on the…

Yeah, I like nerd fitness and aworkoutroutine. It's where I got my current workout. I have a carrier too, I could put him on my back. ..or front.

Right. You said it better than me, lol. Seriously? I've said at least twice in this thread that I exercise. And yes. I wake up, feed my kids, drink my coffee, and sit on my couch all day, in between chasing my firecracker 18 month old, almost non stop. When my husband comes home, I escape to my workout and shower. Wake up,…

The whole "if you can pinch an inch" thing is what I am sort of going by. I sure hope it's not just skin. :( If it is, then I think I'm out of luck. But I have lost a couple inches, so Idk.

I've been doing bw workouts, and circuit training. And I will consider my belly "fat" until I can no longer fit 3 fingers under it. And "toning" is building muscle/ losing fat....

I actually didn't know that about the Apple and pb thing. Usually I do a search for the individual ingredients in stuff, and log it that way. ..like with the homemade stuff. And sometimes I do forget the little stuff, but not always. My goals have been changing as I go along. I suspect that I am more into yoga and running.…

Honestly I'm confident until dinner. I rarely eat breakfast, and when I do, it's hard to screw up logging it, or lunch. And I usually try to overestimate everything else. I'm trying to come up with a doable meal plan, because I don't have much control over what I eat. I live in a 2 family household, and share dinner time.…

Scoobys workshop says for recomp, I need between 1700 and 2000 depending on exercise (wow), and for -20% 1600. I guess I'll stick with 1600 for now and see where it takes me. The only weight I have access to right now are my kids, lol.

That's basically my goal. But calories and macros confuse me, because pretty much every calculator is different, so initially, that was going to be my question here. I do bodyweight work outs 3 times a week, yoga twice a week, and usually Leslie sansone on Saturday. Half hour to 40 mins each (recently) . And in the calorie…

I'm not necessarily trying to lose weight. Yes I'm tiny, but all of my fat sits on my belly. And, sorry, I forgot to factor in inches lost, and became more concerned with weight. In my long term goal, I don't care if I weigh 20 pounds more, as long as it's muscle. Or mostly. In reality, I don't own a scale, and when I went…

I'm 5'2 and 113 pounds, with a small frame. I can wear my 10 year old's clothes, and can't even gain weight on purpose. I just store fat. At 1300, that's eating when I'm hungry. I thought my diary was open. ...My daily intake has been inconsistent because I've been trying to get to 1600, and can't. I've never had a problem…

My husband is buying me a bikini from a football apparel site for Christmas. My goal is to rock it this summer. And I'll be posting before and after, if this thread is still alive in a few months. :)

Exactly, working out at night is better than saying "screw it". I think at the moment, trying to switch my times would sabotage me because I've got too much going on in terms of what I am trying to change. I'm more motivated in the evening, probably because I know I won't have as many distractions.

Yuck, nope I'm not a 5am workout person either, lol. I'll just stick with my current schedule for now. I can fully focus on the workout, take a shower, and relax. :)
