My "start walking" song is Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant farm. Good fast beat.

That is great!!! This site is the best ever!!

I did W1D2 on Friday, May 13 (on schedule) It felt great!!!!!!!!!! W1D3: May 17 but had to stop 15 mins. in due to a shin splint (I think that is what it is) Never had them before so why now?? Repeat W1D3: May 20 Also, I am using the Nike+ with my iPod and love it!!

Last night I did W1D3, but had to stop 15 minutes in because of what I think are shin splints, but only on my left leg. I have never had this before, and did my toe taps and warm-up before running, but it got to the point where I could only walk and that was difficult. The shin splint made me walk "flat footed" on my left…

I second this idea! Sometimes I make a PB&J using a waffle :wink: What about egg muffins? Scramble some eggs, add your veggies/meats like you are making an omlette, pour into muffin tins and bake. They reheat easily and are great to grab-n-go.

I have rosacea and want a full coverage foundation, but one that does not make me look like I am wearing any makeup. The Dream Matte Mousse I like the best so far, but I want to try the Sephora one that is supposed to be like Makeup Forever's HD. My mom, sho has just about the same skin I do, tried the Cover Girl…

In my quest to find the perfect foundation for my oily skin, I bought: Maybelliene Dream Matte Mousse: covers very well, but the color is a little too dark but will be good for summer; L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Smothing Mousse: did not cover as well, wore off easily. I use Avon Magix primer and that seems to help…

I love the smiley or frown face it gives you to tell you how you are doing.

Great advice!! Thanks for posting this. I just began the C25K.

W1, D2 done on Friday!! But, I think I have some sort of tendonitis in my foot, the side by the arch hurts. I could barely walk on Saturday and Sunday. It didn't hurt the first time, but I will let it rest so D2 may not be until Wednesday : (

Cashew Cookie is my fav so far, followed by Pecan Pie. I would like to try the Ginger Snap and Cinnamon Roll, but I can't find a store that carries those flavors.

That is great!! I just started C25K and hope I get to the point that you are!

Way to go! I am on W1,D3 of the C25K and it feels great to run!

Way to go!!!

Here is one: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/teriyaki-sauce-and-marinade/Detail.aspx Most of the recipes I saw used soy sauce, which is high in sodium. You could use Tamari which is a sweeter soy sauce and is lower in sodium, or find a low-sodium soy sauce.

Way to go!!

I miss my bike. It was stolen :sad: Are you going to a bike shop? They will fit you for the right bike. Make sure to please wear helmets. Have fun and enjoy riding!!

Welcome! You can add me a a friend. Don't give up!! Just make a decision to do better next time.

I was in the same boat, then I increased my calorie intake and lost 2 lbs. last week. I was at 1200 cal, and I upped it to 1450.

Bump!

I use the Kettlebell Bombshell DVD. It is great and works all kinds of muscles.

Tandoori Chicken: make a marinade using plain yogurt and spices of curry, cardamon, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon and add in some chopped garlic and ginger. Marinate chicken for 2-4 hours then bake in the oven. I have a Tandoori paste made by Patak's that is great if you don't have all the spices. I serve the chicken with…

I expect my bra size to change since when I was at my goal weight in my 20's I was a 34C, right now I am a 36DD. I assume a C cup is what I would be after reaching my goal weight of 130. Have you always been the size you are cup-wise?

W1D2 done last night. I used the Nike+ for my iPod, but I could not listen to the C25K podcast for the cues on when to walk or run, so I just did it on my own. 28 minutes, and it said 16:03 min/mile.

Welcome!! You will find this is a great site and everyone here is very friendly.

Their song Sabotage gets me through a hard workout!!

I second roasting veggies. I cut up parsnips (tastes like carrots) and sweet potatoes, toss will olive oil, s&p, roast at 375 for 25-40 mins. I made some turkey lasagna and substituted some of the pasta with sliced zucchini. I used a mandoline slicer to get long strips. It was a good addition to the lasagna. I think I had…

I think you can even get weighted hula hoops. I can't hula to save my life.

I would like to join in. I did W1D1 on Tuesday and will do D2 tonight after work. Any suggestions on a podcast for C25K? I have iPod Nano, 3rd gen so apps are out and the podcast I have is an annoying computerized voice with no music!! I find the silence makes me keep thinking "is it time to walk yet?"

Hello and welcome! Question: do you not want to exercise at all or not go to classes that are with others? I exercise at home and love it. I am not sure I could bounce around and huff and puff in front of a bunch of people :tongue:
