  • great post! thanks for sharing :)
  • depends on the day...i love the feeling when i get home and i know i accomplished something good for myself :) but honestly a lot of the time what gets me off my butt to go exercise is knowing that i'm earning extra calories for more yummy food during the day...haha sad but true :)
  • i am planning on running my first half september 25th in michigan :) i've been loosely following a training schedule for the past few weeks...i ran 8.04 hilly miles today in about 90 minutes...i'm trying to increase my long run milage by a mile each week...so with about 6 more weeks til the race i'm hoping i'll be good!!!…
  • i'm curious about this too...when i originally started i thought i'd lose 10 lbs tops because i never had much success losing or keeping off the same stubborn 5 lbs, but once i'd lost the 10 lbs i wanted to try for 5 more to give myself some wiggle room...now i've lost a total of 15 lbs and i look and feel better about…

  • hope you feel better!!!!!
  • unfortunately the 1/2 marathon training has been put on hold officially :( might be moving farther away than originally anticipated and can't commit to a race i don't know that i can run...i'm bummed but i am going to try to keep up my running just not so far :)
  • i loathe housework...as in avoid it at all costs!! so when i do clean it definitely gets logged :) however, i am a big fan of doing other crazy extra exercises like squats in the shower (25-30 while the shampoo and conditioner are doing their thing) or when i am drying my hair...both are quite random but i definitely have…

  • everyone is so inspiring :) 1. i did not know that i could ever love wearing shorts...in public :) 2. i did not know that my arms could ever be capable of having muscle tone 3. i did not know that counting calories and watching what i ate could actually help me lose weight and keep it off 4. i did not know that the scale…

  • yes!!! i do the same thing...i drive my boyfriend crazy asking him to 'feel' my new muscles as i flex :) its fun to actually see the results of all of your hard work :)
  • super impressed by all the time you've been able to fit in working out!!!!! :) i saw your comment on the bottom and i know that personally when i give myself a day of rest (or a less intense workout) i actually find that i notice a change on the scale :) it doesn't make sense, and someone more knowledgable might disagree,…
  • i am with everyone about moderation and/or find low cal options to decrease the cravings :) in the long run a treat every-once-in-a-while will not hurt your efforts as much as giving up on the whole shebang because you feel guilty about giving in to a craving...i know that personally if i don't let myself enjoy from time…

  • I agree :) I still have way more of a sweet tooth than I know I should, but I am trying hard for moderation :) I know that I won't stick to the plan if I feel deprived of the things that I love....healthy or not....so instead I try for smaller portions and increased workouts when I know that I am going to indulge a bit :)
  • i am also a diet addict...my drink of choice is diet pepsi...i haven't been able to completely eliminate my daily diet pepsi, but i have been able to limit it to just one :) work yourself down slowly from 3 to 2 to 1....i've found that adding flavor to my water helps make it more appealing...i'm a big fan of crystal light…
