One thing you might do is see if you can find a WildTree representative in your area. I'm not a rep, or anything, but they offer WildTree meal prep workshops. You basically buy their seasonings (they're non-gmo, organic) and the oils (which are grapeseed oils) upfront, they send you a shopping list, and off you go. At a…

If this is anything like Nutella, I'm headed for disaster...that stuff is addicting!

I am, by no means, a nutrition expert, but I checked out the food diary, and there are a lot of entries where fast food was logged, or days were incomplete. But also, I'm curious how the OP's calorie requirements are less than someone like me, who is 5 inches shorter and weighs less. I don't say that to be mean, at all! I…

I was in my car on my way to class when news of the first tower being hit was broadcasted. There was already speculation about how a small commuter plane could have caused such a large explosion. When I got back home, I turned on the TV and a few minutes later, watched as the second plane hit the other tower. I sat there…

Hey ladies! Here are my tips for new runners: 1) It always sucks at first...it'll take a while to learn to love it...and even when you do, you'll still have days you'll want to throw in the towel 2) A runner's high is like no other sensation you can have while working out...you'll feel like you can run forever...they're…

I second this ^^

I agree with this post. While a treadmill has a little more give when you land, it can also limit your stride, which can lead to other injuries. The roads are tough too, especially since a lot of them are crowned to allow water to run off, so sometimes pain from road running is related to one leg having more impact than…

I agree that this wording is very safe to use and doesn't step on any toes. My fiance's mom asked if we could honor her husband on the invitation, and I am all for it. Even though she's remarried, she misses him terribly and has struggled with the fact that he can't physically be a part of our day. On another hand, too, my…

I just talked to her and she actually said that what bothers her is that her husband, my fiance's stepdad, seems to be getting more recognition than she'd like him to have, compared to his dad. His dad raised him and he was in his early 20s when he passed away. It was suggested to me that we list both of our parents and…

I want to start off saying that I don't want to pick on you, but more or less use your statement as an example. A lot of women think they need to be thinner to start lifting, but the reality is that adding muscle mass will boost your metabolism, which will help you burn more at rest. So get a a head start on lifting!…

I'm in my 4th week of NR and everything started out fairly easy, but I've upped my weights almost every workout, and am now really pushing to finish my sets. By the end, I'm exhausted and I almost always have some soreness going on (today it's in my arms and glutes). Add me if you'd like!

I haven't read through everyone's responses, but my daughter is a Girl Scout, and they offer Cookie Shares. Basically you order a Cookie Share at the same price of a box, and they donate those cookies to a local food bank or military. That way, your Girl Scout still gets the cookie credits to help out her and her troop,…

I'm with this...burning over 800 calories in a 30 minute workout probably isn't likely. I burn that amount in an 8 mile run which takes me over an hour. Unless you're doing extremely high intensity that entire time, this would be the first adjustment I'd make if I were you. Beyond that, take your measurements rather than…

Creatine is used for power movements, so you won't get much benefit from it as a distance runner. Your body usually uses the creatine as an energy source for about 30-60 seconds...that's why it's great for lifting.

I was reading this thread right before I went to lunch...these types of threads on MFP always entertain me. So, for this to happen right after I was browsing made me feel the need to share my experience today. I went to place that I frequent a lot. The cashier is familiar with me and my boss, so he knows what my regular…

I think I must have confused you all with a running shoe reference. I didn't mean that he does lift in running shoes...just that as a trainer, I wasn't aware that there were specific weight-lifting shoes as compared to running shoes for runners, or cleats for soccer or other specified sports. I can certainly see how…

So, if he just continues to wear his worn out shoe...wouldn't it lose its spongeiness (if that's a word) anyway due to the breakdown? I don't believe he lifts in a cushioned running shoe or anything...in fact, when he runs, he opts for the vibrams.

Anyone?

Bump

Oh goodness! Nobody replied to this! Welcome to the forums my friend! :heart:

Interesting...I've been with Mary Kay for almost 9 years...don't think I'd continue to work with them if I didn't make any profit. I know loads of people with home based businesses that work them full time and support their families with them. It mostly boils down to how you manage your money and the effort you put into…

I use DailyMile.com. The website syncs with my Garmin watch and also with the Nike system, so it makes it easy to track. But you can also use the site to map out a course to figure out how far you went. You can track just about any type of workout, but I've found it to be handy when tracking miles because it'll give you…

Yes, ask! It was such a good thing for me. It took some getting used to, but the relief I've had because of it has been wonderful! The way that it's designed would prevent you from putting your thumb in your mouth at night too. It has a ramp on the bottom so your bottom teeth slide into place, and since it's a really hard…

Temporalmandibular joint -- that's the name of the jaw joint

I have TMJ disorder...I went to a specialist and got an orthotic for my mouth. Could your dentist refer you to someone like that? The orthotic forced my lower jaw forward so I wasn't clenching and it kept the little discs from sliding out of the joint, which is what causes the popping. My headaches have subsided and I no…

"You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!"

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I've been an athlete since I was a freshman in high school...I was pretty good at the whole running thing. When I see others at the gym, or outside doing anything physical, my mind immediately thinks, "Good for them! They're working towards a healthy lifestyle." And I think that…

Wow...what is wrong with people? In my town, a gunman walked into Burlington Coat Factory and shot at an employee this morning. I pray that what you've done puts a stop to another lunatic's plans to shoot at innocent people.

^^ This for sure. You're comparing the world's fastest man and the most decorated swimmer/athlete. The hours of dedication, practice, diligence, strength, and endurance that go into each respective sport, make both athletes impressive. The poise that Phelps showed in this Olympics with each interview and the amazing show…

I sell Mary Kay products, and one of the things I noticed about your skin care routine is that you're not using all of the same product line! Every line is formulated to work together to give you the best results, so when you use several lines at once, they can be working against each other, which will give you less than…
