Evening - My time to relax What is your favorite holiday?

My first 5K race is in just under 2 weeks. Saturday I moved to a place that was nice and flat to a place with lots of hills. Ugh! My pace was a LOT slower then normal! Bad timing for my move!!

Treadmill - so I can keep up with my running when the cold weather hits. (I can't afford a gym membership)

Dice Dominoes (Just curious - why does it have to start with the letter D)

I'm moving.

stomach! I'm starting to think it will never be flat.

such a cute kitty!! We are having one of those here in my city this weekend. Would like to go, but I'm not sure I would have time. Oh BTW - You look great!

For those that go go Goodlife I also have a question, how can it be Co-ED AND For Woman. Wouldn't it have to be on or the other? If can find a way to get an extra $50 a month, I want to get a membership to one, especially for the winter months. I want to keep up the running but don't want to do in the snow and ice and cold!

8/01 - 46 min (24 minutes of walk and 22 minute of circuit training) 8/02 - 56 min (34 minutes of running and 22 minutes of circuit training) 8/03 - unscheduled rest day cry (Didn't get home from church until 10:15pm. Haven't had supper. Food won over workout) 8/04 - 22 min (circuit training - I was going to go for a run…

Same topic - New question My first 5K race is in 29 days. I've heard you should overtrain for short races. I only do 5K when I go out. Should I start seeing if I can go longer? I feel like I can keep going. (Most days). BTW: went tonight and got a time half way between my last two times out.

Best reason I`ve heard EVER to have dessert first!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :tongue: :tongue:

First of all that looks so good!!! I want a spoon so I can start eating it! Seconds if she doesn`t want ice cream, I can take any she doesn`t want. Ice cream is a staple every summer for me.

I struggled on the 1200 and upped it to 1440. I averaged 0.5-1 lb a week and lost a total of about 25 lbs last year. Then I ignored following my calories (not advisable) and gained half of it back. Now I'm back on here to take what I gained back off. :laugh:

I wouldn't mind looking like the 20% or 25% ladies. However, I doubt I will ever get my stomach looking like that.

I guess I was just feeling discourage. I've only been doing the straight running with no walking intervals for about a month or so and that's the first time I struggled with it. I did feel bad about not getting out more then once last week and was feeling a little out of shape. Didn't think that would be possible after…

I've been told you can also use canned food for weights. I've been getting myself dumbbells, as I can afford to fit them into my budget, at Walmart. I've gone with the cheapest ones they have (which also happen to be the nicest looking as they are covered in this colored foam material). If you are able to, set aside a…

Not this this annoys me but .. Saving this so I can read more later!

I've learned to never judge someone by their looks. Of the ones I have dated, the ones that were the best looking I've had the shortest relationship with. Looks shouldn't be the first thing, it's what is inside that counts. I've learned that lesson over much heartbreak.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this (I didn't read every page yet), but Jillian Michael's DVDs like 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30, are only 20 minutes in length. If you look on Youtube you can find them. They don't require much time at all and it gives you a great workout. If you never heard of them they include 3 min…

While there are SOME people out there who just don't care, I"m not sure it's fair to say all people who are overweight are that way because they want to be. I know someone who is and they told me they wish they could do what I was doing. (my running) I told her she could if she tried, but she said she couldn't.…

I have been surprising myself with my time! I never imagined myself a runner and would get out of breath if I had to run for the bus! After posting a time of just over 35 minutes at the end of my C25K time, my time has been faster every time I go out! Saturday I did it in 34:04 and last night I shaved a full two minutes…

My issue is with my mom. It seems whenever she buys something for her grandsons (my nephews) she buys the same thing for me. Why? I haven't figured that out yet! I savor them and make sure it fits into my calorie goal. Makes the yummy goodness of whatever it is to last longer! This weekend I got the BEST type of snack. At…

Only thing I miss from when I was bigger is some of my clothes! :laugh: I had some nice dresses, suits and a lovely pair of stylish shorts I could wear to work. I lost weight and they all got to big. :brokenheart: Though I do have some really nice new clothes in my size! (Like my steal of a deal dress pants that I got…

Congratulations!! I have my first 5K race on September 13 and I cannot wait for it!! I finished the C25K app and now I am just trying to work on my time! Did it in 34:04 this morning. Hope to take another couple minutes off that before September! Did you do the C25K app to get ready for yours?

Congratulations!!! You look fantastic!!

It depends on what type of workout I do. My running I am doing in the morning, as I find it's to hot in the evening to go. It's such a wonderful refreshing way to start the day. I've fallen of the wagon regarding my other workouts though. I'm to lazy at night to do them. That stops tonight. I WILL get it in tonight. Those…
