Damn girl WTG keep it up!

Using a teaspoon of olive oil instead of a tablespoon. If I start baking again, I'll use apple sauce instead of oil or butter.

WTG! You look great.

Cutting my run time down by like two or three minutes per mile.

Great advice!

Correction: Apple is coming out with an iWatch or something like that I hear.

I wanted to get the flex but I need to upgrade my phone (I still have iPhone 3GS) for it to be compatible. Iphone is coming out with a new iPhone in the fall which I'm hoping to get, but now I hear that iPhone is also coming out with an iPhone watch that is similar to the fitness wristbands so now I'm planning on waiting a…

Historically I've gone with Splenda and now I'm trying to change too...Stevia seems like the way to go.

This apartment building that I'm moving out of on Monday. It has such a crazy energy to it, my downstairs neighbor is a pain, parking sucks, and it's way too far from the things I want to be doing.

Looking great! Thanks for the inspiration.

Yes. I've lost about 16 pounds and even though I'm currently keeping my breakfasts small, I feel like it does something good for my blood sugar, hormones, and metabolism. Break - fast. But I've heard of people having success with one big meal later in the day, and all sorts of variations.

This could work out well for you, but it might not. My advice is if you are going to stop, check your weight in a couple of weeks to see if you've been maintaining, and this way you can catch yourself early and get back in the habit if you go over.

I only drink on nights where I'm under my calorie goal and have already done sufficient exercise for the day. I find that alcohol loosens my inhibitions around food too so this way if I'm tempted to have a snack after drinking, I can log it and still be accountable. I generally stick to variations of vodka martinis when…

Congratulations! What an inspiration.

FWIW, I have a pretty active job where I'm standing most of the day or climbing stairs and sometimes it makes me feel like I'm too tired after work to go to the gym and work out "properly"...I feel like if I had a desk job this wouldn't be the case. If I were to go back to a desk job (used to have one) I'd make sure I was…

In the words of Jillian I hate these workouts when I'm doing them and then I "love them when they're over".

Decent post. At first I was like "Where is she going with this?" and then I understood. Way to dig to the root! Keep up the good work.

I hear ya sometimes I get in those moods I just get on the road anyway and the beautiful scope of my surroundings puts me in another mood entirely. If not, I just suck it up anyway. Music is motivational. I also have an awesome smoothie with whey protein before my workout and run and I usually save the run for a "treat"…

There's a good channel on YouTube called Eckhart Yoga and I regularly do their 20 min sequence for runners.

I went backwards tonight and did 7 & 8 again. I really want to get the "torture tube" because I don't have one, I've been compensating with 3lbs and strict form on those exercises. I have resistance bands somewhere, maybe I'll substitute them once I find them.

I don't take prescheduled rest days but I wait until I have days where I absolutely can't work out, like if I have to travel or something.

I know...I did 9 & 10 yesterday and it was brutal but effective. Then I went running for an hour. Tonight I'm going to run for an hour and a half and try them again. I need to supplement the running since I always have to modify the cardio in the JMBR because of my downstairs neighbor (though I'm moving soon) and she keeps…
