my blue tooth headphones

healthy french toast (100% whole wheat bread dipped in egg whites and cooked stove top), very quick and easy. yogurt with or without granola cottage cheese with fruit overnight oats (google it - they are amazing and there are tons of varieties) Hope that helps.

I do. For some reason, I have to manually sync almost every time. My VivoActive seems to have an issue connecting with my phone automatically. I have contacted Garmin about it but they never responded.

I think so!

I have done the C25K and C210K. It is an amazing program. My schedule is hectic and inconsistent so I just got out there as often as I could and did the next day. I was usually able to get 3-4 days in. I definitely recommend skipping a week or 2 if you already have some endurance built up. But don't skip too much and push…

I got the Garmin VivoActive with the HR chest strap. I like it so far. There are a few things that I wish it could do and the syncing is a b****, but it has most of the functions that I want. Feel free to add me on Garmin Connect: TracyeS4

Danskin! I love the way they fit and they do not slip at all when I run. I have tried expensive UA and Nike pant, but they just won't stay put. At $9, the capri or shorts with ties can not be beat.

That is awesome! Did you just start running or have you been a runner for awhile? My mom thinks that she is too old to start running. She is a 56 year old smoker. I think that she could if she wanted to. I told her about the C25K. I would have never been able to get where I am without that program!

Texas here. I prefer the heat to the cold, but I can only run after dark. It is way too hot during the day and I feel like my skin is going to slough off. I definitely feel heavy and gross during a run in the heat. It also slows me wayyyy down. It sounds like there could be some benefits to running in the heat, but I don't…

Hey there. I sent you a request

Will do : ) Are there any numbers? I couldn't find you. My user name is TracyeS4 there, too if you want to search for me.

Will do

Feel free to add me,also. Just got the Vovoactive and I am super excited. Already getting some good info.

It is only 5 weeks. If you really want to meet your goal, dodge the alcohol for 2 weeks and see what happens. Then go out with your friends. Then wait another 2 weeks. Every time I drink, I gain weight. Of course, if I open a bottle of wine, I must finish said bottle of wine - at 500 calories/bottle, it sabotages me every…

Or to take on their honeymoon. That is probably what I would do.

You must go to some fancy weddings. I would estimate the plates at $15 - $20 for the weddings that I have been to. If you don't feel comfortable giving him money, then go with a small gift. I get the request for money, though. After paying for the wedding, you have the stress of paying for the honeymoon. Everything is so…

I had the best run this morning. It was an amazingly gorgeous day and I had the best pace that I have had in months. On another note, it is spring break here in Austin Texas, and I am a little worried. I am not currently a student, but my Mom, who happens to be my party buddy, works for the school. She will be out the…

Wow! That is pretty powerful! Thanks for sharing.

Hey Karen! It sucks to slide backwards, but your still here, so you obviously have not given up. Just keep at it!

Hey Suzie and Jackie! Yay other runners! I took a break from running to start a weight training program that was very time consuming. It has been a long 9 weeks. I didn't lose any weight, so I am hoping that running will help me start seeing the scale move again.

You should be called: Tracye You are from (Timezone): Central Your weigh in day: Fridays Favorite exercise: Running - Can't wait to complete my first Half Marathon Favorite healthy food: That is a hard one... I love fruits and veggies. I think my favorite must be protein donuts though. Thank you Buff Dudes Struggling Areas…

I'm back again, too! I will post my weight when it gets closer

I can't believe it has been 5 week already. Congrats everyone!

@L_Master I'm impressed! You set a goal and achieved it. Very cool. I quit drinking soda 1.5 years ago. I can not be an occasional soda drinker. Once I start, I can't stop. Sounds live you have a pretty advanced training plan in place. Keep it up!

So, I reported a significant gain last week. This week was SO much better. I am down 4.4 pounds from that number. Obviously, there was something going on there. Maybe I had a lot of water weight or something. I don't know, but I am extremely relieved!

WhoooHooooo! Good job!

Wow. That is dedication!

I have been hitting it hard. I have not missed any weight training day. Yesterday was a much needed rest day and then I road the stationary bike today. Wasn't the most intense workout, but at least burned some calories. Tomorrow will be another intense weight training day... the dreaded leg day. Oh man, I am going to be so…

Nice

I'm glad you are still with us. Keep it going!
