You should be going at least once a day to be regular. I mean think of how many separate instances you eat. yes, your body is using what you eat, but each cell needs to get rid of waste to take in more nutrients/energy. "Regular" really should be a couple times or more a day...

water is water. Tasteless, clear, calorieless. if you call it anything other than water it doesn't count towards your WATER intake. It might count toward your coffee or tea intake, but not your WATER intake. Just because it is a fluid doesn't mean it's Water. If you'd shower in it, then it counts... on second thought that…

Work on distance, and the speed will come on its own. I promise. As well as doing intervals and tempo runs. An app that is specifically interval training is Run, Zombies! for, I believe Android, iPhone, and Windows phones.

My fiance is a descendant of Ponce de Leon. :) I'm nothing too special though :p

Happens all the time. My breaking point is about 20 minutes before I give in and let him have sex with me so he'll leave me alone and let me sleep.

BMI is more for individuals who have a lot to lose and are mostly body fat. For those with muscle or larger frames, body fat percentage is the way to go. You can have it measured for you at most gyms, or your doctor can do it for you. I've had it done before and it's pretty interesting. They hook up a few electrodes to you…

this is an interesting issue in itself... :p

My deal is that if he watches porn it makes me feel like he will be comparing me to the girls in the videos. it makes me feel like him looking at me isnt enough for him, which makes me feel like *kitten*. Reading racy novels are different because you're not looking at anyone. you conjure images in your head, and for me it…

fajita fajita fajita!!! also put it in soups, on salads, or mix it in with rice and/or veggies yum!

I just started Insanity, but before that I would run 4-5 days out of the week and do some sort of crosstraining 2-3 days, with one total rest day. That being said, I also only weigh 130-135 (depending) and don't have the knee/ankle/joint problems that you might have. I'd have to agree with lifeskittles in saying start out…

I really appreciate everyone's input! Backing off Insanity is what I was leaning towards anyway. I also posted this on Dailymile.com and that's what my friends there have said too! And I don't think it's shallow to want to blow the hometown away... :p

\ I just checked out the website and theres a link for Windows Phone users... https://www.zombiesrungame.com/

quaker brown sugar and maple oatmeal packet (made with 2/3 cup milk so it's creamier) with a small granny smith apple diced up inside the oatmeal. Gives it great taste and a better texture than the oatmeal alone! :)

no one? :(

Definitely use the gym on campus! Some colleges have free access for students, while others have extremely cheap access (ex: $60 per semester at my old school). Also, I make working out just as much a priority as schoolwork. Wake up even an hour to a half hour early and do something to start your day (be it running/yoga or…

I am by no means a weight lifter (just ordered New Rules of Lifting for Women, so maybe soon!) but I'd think a little bit would be okay. Whenever I DO decide to do squats I always feel like I'm a centimeter away from falling over too. I've read that sometimes it's because your leg muscles are tight and need to be stretched…

I'd buy P90X, medicine balls, Kettle bells, more running shoes, GU energy gels (I've always wanted to try them!), more free weights :) In terms of exercise machines, definitely a spin bike and elliptical trainer (cheaper ones still do the job, and Amazon is great for discounts!)

I'm confused. What exercises are you doing where you're unsure about your form? Otherwise I don't think anyone can help unless we know what you're trying to do, because you don't say. I'm a runner so I immediately go to running, and not extending your toe past the knee while running creates some very amusing, strange…

moving comfort. by far are my favorite, and I'm a DD. I wear a D in their bras to make them a bit tighter, but my favorites are the vero for pretty much anything, maia for running/high impact, and fiona for things like yoga/pilates and other lower impact activities. they aren't super expensive either like most higher…

I cant stand the fuel belts, so I use a hand held waterbottle. it's one of those ones that has this strap that goes around your hand and you tighten it so you' don't really have to hold it. i find it so much more convenient than the fuel belt. the fuel belt made my lower back sore

run, walk, bike, circuit training, basketball, inline skating, swim laps, dance/zumba, pilates/yoga if your looking for a longer, less intense workout jumping rope will get you there in about 20 mins or so :p

I agree with those saying how ANY DOG CAN BE DANGEROUS. I was bit by small hound-type dog when I was younger. I'm not sure exactly the breed because it was a long time ago. However, the dog went straight for my face and I had stitches for a while. Thankfully it didnt' permanently disfigure me. After the dog attacked me,…

I've always been a morning person so for me it's easier than others. Although sometimes it is really hard to drag my butt outta bed, usually I tell myself that I'm already awake, might as well accomplish something. Maybe going to bed a little earlier would help?

I played flute for 10 years, took a year of piano lessons and and a year of bells/marimba/etc (all those types of instruments). I try to play guitar and can do some things on it, but my desire to do it comes and goes. My fiance's played guitar for 16 years.

I'd say American Eagle as well... I'm a 2 there and a 4 or 6 everywhere else. And as for Victoria's Secret. I'm a 34D everywhere else, but there the 34D gives me the quad boob and spillage everywhere. And the ones in my area don't have DD's. Sad. :-/

Get an exercise ball chair? There's a picture in this link, or just get the ball... has some other ideas too! http://fabfitfun.com/work-out-work-desk Deskercising (some seem covert) - http://greatist.com/fitness/deskercise-exercise-work/#

About when I signed up for my first fun run/race type 5K. Then I knew I could reach goals if I set them, and my body was conditioned enough where I was comfortably chugging along :) It took probably 2-3 months? I started out simply because I impulsively bought a treadmill and vowed to actually use it. I hate wasting money…

I play scrabble with my fiance all the time. If you didn't know him you'd think he's incredible with words. Not so, he just types random *kitten* into the dictionary with his letters until he gets a word that works. Frustrates me to no end because it usually helps him win. I refuse to play a word if I don't know what it…

Ran this morning, 3 miles in 27 and some seconds. I think you'd like Dailymile. Its a very supportive online community where you post your workouts. Gives some interesting statistics too :) Feel free to add me on there! It's great for accountability!

I've heard about this too! I keep forgetting to check it out though! :) thanks for the reminder!!
