I wonder what he thinks we should be wearing instead?? Apparently heels, loafers, and tennis shoes are out... Hmm... and while we're at it, what's the weight and/or size requirement to be able to wear my beloved heels again? I'm glad he's here to fill me in because apparently I've been mistaken for a very long time.

Pork Tenderloin with Tomato Relish: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/yes_i_can/view/recipe-pork-tenderloin-w-tomato-relish-106873 Easy and yummy!

I wear heels every day, regardless of weight. While it is easier now that I'm down 60lbs, the biggest factors in comfort are (1) the quality of the shoes, and (2) the shape of your foot. I have -very- high arches, so I'm actually more comfortable in heels than flats. When bigger, I would stick to 2" or so, but now have…

I do general arm work (with small weights) while watching TV and I do lots of stretching in the shower. Boring, I know. :tongue:

Bump. Sounds like this will be my Friday night dinner!

7/19 - Only 247 I promise I will kill it on Saturday!

If your heart rate goes up more in the heat, than sure. I had about a 100 calorie difference between my runs (same distance) Thurs and Sun... not sure if that was becasue of the heat or the fact that I was 3 minutes faster though.

It's lovely!! I'm getting my first one tonight. :)

Don't worry about the speed yet. Go at a pace you're comfortable with and can maintain and concentrate on getting through the run intervals as they increase. Once you can run the full distance, then worry about working on speed. Believe me! I was -never- a runner (couldn't even finish the 1-mile challenges in high school…

7/18 - 183 calories My schedule is off this week, so I might come in a bit low until the weekend... sorry, guys!

My goal is always 16oz of veggies and 1 serving of fruit per day. Normally, however, I'm lucky to get in 10oz, so I will be more diligent this week. Goal - 16oz veggies per day, totalling 112oz for the week; 1 fruit per day, totalling 7 servings for the week Veg Fruit Mon ? / 112oz ? / 7servings Tue ? / 112oz ? / 7servings…

My favourites on the grill are pork tenderloin (just do a simple herb & grainy mustard rub) or salmon. You can also do wicked portobello mushrooms. Take the stems off, scrape out the gills and just brush with a tiny bit of olive oil. Start grilling with the open side down, then flip them after a few minutes and fill with…

I think I'm confused by the whole kidnapping thing... did we kidnap someone? Do we individually need to do something to make that happen, or is just Marsha in the background on our behalf? Sorry, I wasn't here last week, so I'm a bit slow. ;)

Precisely. I'm not saying you have to be bubbly and perky and all-smiles to be happy. It's the ones that can never focus on anything other than what's wrong with their lives that are toxic. Do I have things in my life that I'd like to change? Yes. Am I obsessing over it in my head and to all my friends while not actually…

I am officially a C25K success story! Just ran the full distance for the first time today :happy: Yes, I'm slow, but I did it! I have never been a runner in my life - even struggled to do one mile in school gym - but for whatever reason I got it in my head that I wanted to give running a try... Enter C25K and now I've…

7/14 - 991 calories burned We'll see how sore I am tomorrow before I decide if I can repeat that again on Saturday for triple day. ;)

Yep. About 10 years ago I woke up to the fact that life is too short for drama. Then, about a year ago, I woke up to the fact that life is too short for self-pity - not my own, I don't think I've ever felt self-pity, but for listening to other people's. These two tendencies are DEFINITELY toxic and cutting out the people…

Goal: 2,500 M... 477... 2,023 to go T... 892... 1,131 to go W... 125... 1,006 to go Running tonight. Have to make it through the full 5K at least once before my race on Sunday. ;)

Love it! Running my first 5K race on Sunday. :)

Just 125 for me today. Sorry team! Another run on the schedule for tomorrow though...

You can always make a full batch, cut, and freeze them in individual bags. You can also adjust baking time/temps to make many things in muffin tins or small ramekins - that way you can either make partial batches, or again, freeze or fridge some for later.

Bump

Goal: 2,500 M... 477... 2,023 to go T... 892... 1,131 to go Given I have at least 3 more 40-min runs coming up this week, I think I may kill it this time!

When I started C25K I had some weeks that just got crazy and side-tracked my progress. I found I was fine picking up where I left off after breaks of up to a week. If it's longer than that, I'd recommend repeating the last one you did to see how you feel and then take it from there... You'll get the most benefit, though,…

Woohoo - Capetown here we come!
