I am in!!! So far this month I am at 9.5 miles

Ok....I am finally making my appearance for this month...just posting my goals real quickly and I will be back on later to catch up with everyone!! -CindyM29 -log in everyday, run at least 2 miles a day, lose 8 lbs this month, drink at least 8 cups of water a day, be able to do at least one pull up. Eleanoreb (Eleanore or…

Meag - DE is right between Philadelphia and the Baltimore/DC area. About 45 min drive from each one. And yes there isnt much going on here...basically my entire town is a college...so lots of bars...but not a ton else!! And as for the Forerunner 110....it has GPS, a chest strap, HRM, and lap counter. When you use it…

Allie - Thanks!! and your right, working overtime on a night shift is killer!! I worked nights for several years and I always hated getting held over. My 12 hour shifts somehow always ended up being 14s!! I hope you have a wonderful vacation!! Let us know how it went!! Meag - No worries on the bday....I dont even like to…

I love PB2...though I have never used it as just plain peanut butter...but its great in PB pie, thai peanut sauce and in shakes!

Meag - Glad to hear that you had a nice vacation!! And I already saw that you made your 14 mile run....hows the knee/hip feeling?? Did you did to relax a little this weekend too?? Sounds like you have been stretching yourself thin at work, hopefully you had a little"me time" over the weekend! Emily - I'm glad that you are…

Ok,....I havent posted in a few days so I am trying to catch up with everyone!! Meghan - Thanks for the bday wishes and glad to hear that you are feeling better!! Emily - Thanks for the bday wishes!! And for the saying that my running is inspiring....that helps me keep going!! I was thinking about reading that book too!!…

thanks for the replies....I actually got a Garmin for christmas, which I hear is the most accurate out there, so I am set now!

How long have you been tracking your calories?? I am 5'2" and started on MFP at around 156lbs...down to 137lbs now. I only ask because sometimes I go an entire month without losing anything, then I will drop 5lbs the next month. Its something that takes time and discipline. Are you being accurate with your counts?? And you…

Meg - The shakeology cleanse sounds interesting?? I dont know if I could stick to the exact same thing for 3 days...let us know how it works. And hopefully you are feeling better by now!! As for your QOTD...I listen to kinda strange music for the most part...what I like to call alternative rock?? But sometimes for workouts…

Adding another 23.3 for this past weeks runs 2984.77 + 23.3 = 3008.07

you look amazing!!! congrats on all of your hard work!!

Cynthia - I think maybe you got me confused with someone else...but I live in little Delaware. I just spent several months working in San Fran a few years back. But it is very different....we have virtually no hills here!! Even walking through SF gives your legs a burn!!! My training is going OK....kinda took an easy week…

Meg - Stress can definately tear your stomach up!! Hopefully you get things under control and the stomach will settle!! I hope everything works with yout paper dress---sounds risky with paper and not being able to move...but I bet it looks fantastic!! And I am sure that your clothing size will drop a lot with Insanity!!…

I've racked up another 25.5 since my last update 2776.55 + 25.5 = 2802.05

Meag - for your QOTD...mine is also running....by far my favorite de-stressor!! However if I am really pinched for time (my 14 hr shift days!!) I still throw in 30 Day Shred for a quick 20min calorie burn!! Hope your longer run went well this weekend!! Adam - I think its awesome that you get in early workouts in college!!!…

My goal from January was: Abby459 - Run 100 miles in January. Find a 1/2 marathon training plan and actually stick to it!! And for my weight, I guess I would like to be under 135 by the months end!! I did make my 100 mile goal!!! Finishing the month with 100.5 miles run, if counting elliptical and one bike ride, I…

I finally did it!!! I hit the 100 mile mark today...one day early!!! Only took me 3 months of trying!! Congrats to everyone!! Even if you didnt make it to 100...I bet you went farther then you ever have before!!!

I am at 95!!! with 3 more days to go...I can totallly make this!!!

Meag - We totally understand....we will miss you, but take of yourself first!!! Cynthia - Thats awesome that you can do 17 push-ups in a minute!!! I still can barely make 10 of non-modified type!!! And your right for listening to your body and taking an extra rest day if needed. I had to do the same thing this week. I…

Meag - Thanks!! I know I progress quickly but I think its only because I used to run years ago too. So I think my body still remembers somehow!! Oddly enough I used to compete in Triathalons all of the time....I know its hard to believe and almost embarassing because of how out of shape I have gotten!!! I usually do walk…

As of today, I am slightly short of 84 miles!! I think I am finally going to make it to 100 this month!!

Moocachip - Thanks and yes just keep running the shorter distances and you'll start to build up slowly. I couldnt even run 1 mile straight when I started on here back in July. Keep it up and you will get there in no time!! Hope all of you tests went well and its great that you still any workouts in!! Sounds like you have a…

feel free to add me...I am a nurse and also share the struggles of crazy shift work!!!

Amazing job!!! You look incredible and I dont see any loose skin!! Be proud you worked hard for it!!!!

Meag - I hope you have an amazing run today!!! And the nI hope you get some relaxation time this weekend....you sound like you need it!! Le me know how the run went!! Cynthia - Thanks!! I am amazed by my run still!! And glad that you got to sleep in today...sometimes you need it!! I did that yesterday too since I was off.…

I have done another 19.5 so far this week 2501.36 + 19.5 = 2520.86

Meag - I will have to try bulgar wheat in my chili...I never even thought of doing that!!! Seems like you are having another crazy busy week, so I hope you get to relax and have some "me" time over this weekend!! Meg - Its ok to rant....thats what we are here for!! And I would have been mad/upset about that too!! Is she…

I ran 10 miles today!!!! My farthest ever!!

Meag - I just had to post real quick after you posted your recipe....I make a version of this all of the time!! Its one of my favorite dishes. I do make it in the crock pot (slow cooker) though, so its ready when I get off a 12 hour shift!! It does work fine that way. And the real reason that I am writing is to tell you…
