Exercise bike, followed by stairs.

It could be your running form. If you are twisting your leg at any point in your stride you could be damaging the tendon or the muscle. I had the same thing with my knee. It hurt when I wasn't running, and during the first 5-10 minutes and then your adrenaline kicks in and it stops hurting. I stopped running for 2 weeks…

I just recently discovered L-Lysine. I tend to break out with a cold sore whenever I have a cold. With the "season" starting, and my kids bringing everything home from school, I went out and bought Zinc, and L-Lysine. Now when one of my kids gets a new cold, I dose up on both supplements, and have so far avoided getting…

I was going to suggest getting a couple of DVDs (ie. JM 30 Day Shred) and alternating them so you don't get bored. You can do these during nap time or after they have gone to bed for the night. Also, are there any malls close by? You can load up the stroller and do some laps at the mall.

Add me if you like! I'm 40 (but don't look a day over 25 :wink: ) LOL

I keep track of mine in the notes section of my diary for "fun", and I have been noticing that it is pretty close. Except for the odd day where I may have gone over or eaten a lot due to a large burn that day, my days ARE fairly consistent, and I find it to be accurate within about 1/2 lb to a lb. 5 weeks ago today it said…

Thank you!!!

I tried!! I can't fix your pics either! Sorry.

I stop mine when my HR drops below 120. But I think I am going to make it 100 from now on. My HR drops a lot quicker now that I am getting in better shape. I'd like to prolong the count. :laugh:

That's an unusual and awesome NSV! Way to go, my friend!

Man, I can totally relate. When my two kids were small and I was home on maternity leave, my days were much the same as yours sound. In hindsight, I now see that I could have made it work, if only I had made it a priority. My suggestion is, get up in the morning, get breakfast for everyone, see your 10 yr old off to…

Usually the nutritional info for pasta is "Dry", meaning before it is cooked. A serving is usually about 85 grams dry, so I weigh it before I boil it. Also, a serving of 85 grams is approx 300 calories, give or take. So, based on what you are saying, I would guess that the 100 grams for 147 cals is probably cooked, because…

I usually just grin and bear it, but if it is particularly bad, I take ibuprofen (Advil). Believe it or not, exercise is known to help reduce it as well. It has worked for me. Good luck!

I'm not a guy, but I can tell you it is tough. There is a "modified" (easier) version, as well as the hard way. You can make it even harder by using heavier weights. It kicked my butt, and I had great results after the 30 days.

You need to open your diary first.

I don't think so. I'd wear it. It is pretty sturdy. I've banged mine, and worn it in the pool...it has held up fine. If you want, test it! PUt the watch across the room and see how far you can get before it loses the signal. Maybe have someone else hold it while you walk away and they can see when it stopped picking up…

It happens to me too. Sorry, I don't have a remedy. I just keep going. :happy:

Anyone have an idea on what the Warrior Dash costs? I'm looking at it for next summer, but would like toknow what to expect.

I eat a Gala apple every day and mine average 150 grams in weight (I'd call it a medium to large size apple), and when I log that it is 85 calories.

Dont forget, your BMR is the amount you would burn over a 24 hour period. if you multiply your 8hr burn by 3, it is a lot closer...

I am on Week 8 right now. It is a great program. My first 5K is on Sept 25. My only advice is to follow it.....you may be tempted to do more than is scheduled. It is meant to be done 3 days per week, and I recommend you stick to that. I did it 4 times one week, and really felt it. My knee has been sore ever since. If you…

I walk for 30 minutes every day on my lunch break (with a co-worker). I bring my HRM, and change into an old shirt for my walk. It works out great! I still do workout in the evenings/weekends too though.

I think if it is riding up like that it means it is too tight. You can wear a short skirt that is not tight and it won't ride up.

Do you mean the big tub (500 g)? If so, you got a fantastic deal. I just paid $2.49 for my tub yesterday (and yes, my receipt was still sitting on the counter, so I jumped up and checked :wink: ). Love when stuff like that happens!

HOw about going for a walk or doing some form of exercise to burn some calories.....then you can eat dinner today, and not have to wait til tomorrow to eat again.

Someone smoking.

Great job so far! I'll send a friend request over. :happy:

I'm from Ontario (Ajax). I'll send a request too! :happy:
