11/1 - 3.1 mile run (ran my 2nd 5K) 11/3 - 1 mile run 11/10 - 1.75 mile run November total: 5.85 miles I'm so behind! Life got in the way last week. I must get out for a few long runs this week!

I decided to "maintain" last year and ended up gaining several pounds back by New Years because I overdid it. So this year, I'm doing what skinnyforhi suggested and just treating the holidays as individual days. If it's a holiday or if I'm going to a holiday dinner on a given day, I'll splurge and not worry a lot about how…

I'm going to try for 25 miles again. Didn't get there last month, but maybe I will this month. 11/1 - 3.1 mile run (ran my 2nd 5K) 11/3 - 1 mile run November total: 4.1 miles

2 miles today. Considered doing more but it was hotter than I realized, which didn't result in a very good run. I don't know how I'm going to run 5K on November 1st at this rate!!! 10/2 - 1.5 mile run 10/5 - 2.5 mile run 10/8 - 3 mile walk 10/13 - 2 mile run October total - 9.0 miles

Started with a 1.5 mile run yesterday. Hope to do a longer run this weekend. Oct 2 - 1.5 miles October Total - 1.5 miles

I'm joining up again finally. I'll shoot for 25 miles in October. I need to get ready for a 5K on Nov 1st, so I should really run more than that, but don't think I'll manage it.

I've always just eaten them out of the can, but there was a similar question not too long ago, and someone recommended putting them on crackers with a little Tabasco sauce. SOOOOOO GOOD!! I also like them mixed in a salad.

I'm 5'3.5" and 42 years old. I was 155 at my heaviest. I lost 22lbs last year but have gained back 11lbs. :grumble: So my goal is to get back down to where I was a year ago, ultimately in the 130-135lbs range. When I get there, I will stay there this time!!!

I try to do four Fitness Blender workouts each week. What day and what workout depends on what I feel like doing at the beginning of the week. I try to get in at least one upper body strength training workout, one lower body workout and one HIIT cardio each week. The fourth day depends on what order I did the others in. I…

I lost over 20 pounds last year while drinking diet soda pretty much every day. I've read that it can make you crave sweets, and I did experience that occasionally. But I don't have issues with sweets so when that happened, I just ate a small piece of candy and was fine. I suppose if this were an issue for you, it could…

I did a 5 minute cool down stretch video after my workout, but obviously it didn't hit the calves enough. As far as soreness being normal, this is more than that. I've been working out fairly consistently for over a year, and I often get sore. I usually stretch throughout the day in that case and focus on a different body…

Black.

Pregnancies, mostly. I did gain some in my 20s as I had never had to worry about gaining weight before, so didn't really think about what I was eating and drinking until I had gained a good 25 lbs in that decade! I was still in decent shape at that point, and probably a healthier weight than I had been before. But then I…

I'm sorry for your loss. I have had two miscarriages. I never took medications for either. The first required a D&C. I got the twilight sedation and didn't feel/remember a thing. Unfortunately, there were complications (my OB was an idiot) and I had to have it done again within a week. That time, the sedation wasn't as…

I've been maintaining for about six months now, although I am maintaining at about 5lbs more than what I would have liked. But I find that with my FitBit telling me how many calories I'm burning each day, if I eat what I burn, I maintain. Unfortunately for me, I only burn an average of 1800 calories a day. I figure I'll…

I'm 5'3.5" I weighed 103lbs when I graduated from high school 24 years ago! I currently weigh 138lbs. That makes me 35lbs heavier than I was in high school. I definitely do not want to be 103lbs again though!! I'm only shooting to lose another 5lbs or so (the 5lbs I gained when I switched to maintenance).

Got in a 1.3 mile run today.

Ran 5K on the weekend.

I've gotten in a couple more walks. I really need to get going!!

Went for a nature walk with the kids yesterday. :happy:

I'm a few days late, but I want to jump back in after hibernating for the winter! I have a 5K to run on May 3rd so I need to get some running in this month! I'm going to go with a goal of 20 miles in April since I'll still be doing my other workout program in addition to the running. I walked 3 miles on April 1 so that's…

Wow! Absolutely amazing! Congratulations on taking your life back!

Thanks everyone! I ended up doing my workout in the morning and then had the massage in the afternoon. It was wonderful! She even used hot stones, which I had never had before. Wow! That was nice. I'm sore today - more from the workouts I did on Mon and Tues than the massage - but I'm planning on working out in the evening…

This is what I do too, and I haven't had any issues.
