Eufy - if you still reading this...I dont think anyone is trying to lecture you...its really just out of concern. And many of us have been around this block a few times and have seen where it can lead. Myself, I am a nurse and also have degress in BioChemistry and Nutrition....so its hard not to respond to something that…

I am at 64 miles now!! (plus ten more if you count the bike ride, but I am trying to hit 100 with just running) so far I am still on track...this is the best I have done in the past 3 months!!

I forgot to update for me AFM - Well I have had to do a few TM run lately....mainly because I work 7am-7pm or 9pm and I am never home when there is sunlight. I only worry that using the treadmill will hinder my training...I hope not!! But for now, I am doing whatever I have to to get myself in shape...I even gave in and…

Wow I havent posted in a few days and I have a lot to catch up on!! Cynthia - Thanks my TM runs werent terrible, no TV in my basement, but I do blast some loud music!!! And congrats on the new mile PR...you watch wasnt wrong, you just rocked it!!! And then 11 miles in 2:10....that is freaking amazing!! You will totally…

I am just shy of 60 miles now....trying really hard to stay on track!!!

I have also done p90x with running and I am currently doing Insanity while running. I am training for my first 1/2....so I usually run 4 days/week and do Insanity 3-4 days/week. And I did the same thing with p90x and got great results!!

Bump ..... I will be making these this week!!

I hit 51 miles today....half way there and one day before the halfway point!!! I think I will actually make it this month!!!

Cynthia - I have been going to the gym with my friend, so I do strength training and get on the elliptical fo a little extra calorie burn. And it still gives my knees and ankles a rest from running. Although I may try yoga sometime, I could use a good de-stressor!! Do you have any home dvds that are good....the gym doesnt…

I havent added mine since last week.....but I did another 24.5 this week 2410.06 + 24.5 = 2434.56

As of today I am up to 45 miles!!!! I think I will finally make it this month!!

Meg - Its sounds like upping the calories will help you out!! If you feel more energy on those days you eat more then your body must need the extra fuel!! Try upping them for a few weeks and see how it goes. I had to up mine too from the measely 1200 that MFP keeps giving....no way I can survive on that everyday. Insanity…

I am hanging in there at 37.6 miles!!

Moochachip - Welcome!! And I am an ER nurse...so 12 hour shifts are my normal...but it is usually only 3 days a week. This week I am working 5 days, because we have someone on vacation!! So a little extra stress this week....normally I dont mind the 12 hrs because it still gives me 4 days off a week, which I love!! Sorry…

Very nicely written. And I agree!! I tried ShakeO once but I honestly didnt like either of the flavors and I just coulnt justify the cost!! I buy the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard and take a multi-vit and amino complex and I feel great all of the time....at a much cheaper cost!!

sooo amazing and inspiring!!!! Congrats on your success!!!

Meag - How is the ATB training program going?? I dont know anything about it.....is it hard?? And keep working on the assisted pull-up machine. I have one of those at home (not a machine, just assist bands on the pull up bar that hubby got me) and I love it....it soo great to see how my upper body strength has…

I am up to 24 now....still running 76 to go!!

Bethany - Thanks!! And I agree that you need to still have date nights...since we started living together we dont actually plan nights out often...so this will be a nice treat!! Line dancing sounds like a lot of fun, I have never tried it, but would like to someday! And it sounds like you got a great workout while dancing…

bump for later...I love eggplant!!

Another 6.25 for me 2292.8 + 6.25 = 2299.05

Meghan- love aspasagus too!! Except for the foul smelling pee that you get afterwards!! But I have also been trying to eat more fruits/veggies over the past couple months. Anything roasted in the oven always tastes good to me!! Great job keeing up with Insanity!! Awesome that you got through a day without fighting with the…

I am at 21 so far!!

Yes your body will adjust!! I was like that the first week or two when I started to increase my water intake...but now I am back to only making normal amounts of bathroom trips and none through the night. But for now...try to make sure you arent drinking a lot of the water in the evening!!

I havent posted in awhile either sooo... 2214.91 + 38.69 = 2253.6

Meg - sucks that you had to got into work for such a short time...I would hate that!! But at least you have most of the day off!! And I have days like that too where I never feel full, at least not for long! In fact, I am having one of those days today. Great job on the Insanity workouts...I have only done 2 so far and…

I am at 14.75

Cynthia - You signed up for a 1/2 too!!!! I am excited, we can "train" together. Hopefully you can help keep me on track. I am bad at sticking to a schedule! Great job on your December goals, you did awesome on all of them! And I definately suggest getting a crock pot....I live by mine. There are so great if you have a…

Meag - glad you at least got to relax a little over the holiday....I didnt get any break from work, so I am jealous!! I love your goals and I think that you are going to find a good balance this month now the holiday craziness is over!! Hope your spin class was fun today....thats something I still want to try if I ever…

I worked a 12 hours shift today but still got in my first 4.25 for the month!!
