That is my dessert every night! I have the vanilla sandwiches (they look like flying saucers) - the mint ones are fantastic! Enjoy!

I'm not a runner at all. Zumba was my exercise of choice for the last 3.5 years. I've always wanted to learn to run and am in week 2 of C25K and LOVING it so far! Just gotta make sure I'm nourishing my body prior - felt a little sluggish yesterday! My legs are the biggest part of my body and I've burned anywhere from 270…

Hi everyone! I completed Week 2/Day 2 yesterday. Before - I was very anxious to get going and see if I would feel as good as Monday! During - I felt very sluggish! Like I was running on empty? I made sure I had a snack around 3 pm (chobani greek yogurt) and then hit the treadmill around 4:45 pm. It's like I had no energy…

Good info - thanks! I actually to the skullcrushers (LOL - didn't realize that was the nickname) in a standing position - making sure I bend and the knees and tuck in my abs.

Hi Bill - I gave up diet soda completely. I may have it here or there as a "treat", but I used to drink 2-4 per day as well. I think it was making me fatter!!! I only have my 2 tsp of Splenda in my coffee in the morning and the rest of the day I drink water or Lipton cold brew tea. That's it. There are several diet soda…

Hi everyone! As you know I'm behind a week due to vacation last week! Completed Week 2/Day 1 - I was nervous about getting thru this day as I had been off for a week. During: felt great! Kept my pace throughout and was amazed at how well I felt during. After: was thrilled! Burned some good calories and also did some arm…

Hi everyone! Hope everyone made it thru week 2! I did not.... I was on vacation last week and did not want to run on the gravel roads! So I'm going to do week 2 starting today. Looking forward to hitting the treadmill after work today! :smile:

Wow - those look great! :smile:

I question this myself each time I turn on that treadmill and I went back to the coolrunning.com site and saw this: "Don't feel pressured to continue faster than you're able. Repeat weeks if needed and move ahead only when you feel you're ready." Just something to keep in mind! :smile:
-
Amen! SO TRUE! :laugh: Especially the eyes thing. I really gotta get mine checked.... damn 40's.... Another thing to add to the list - we didn't have to go to the doctor when we were little - only for a check up! Nowadays babies have every virus under the sun, ear infections and acid reflux (we called this colic) etc.…

I still have my swatch! It's red and white and has a yellow screen guard!!! My kids asked if they could wear it and I told them no way - it's an antique!!!! :laugh: Forgot about my Chicago rollerskates! They were white with big red wheels - and they were "it" at the skating rink I used to go to growing up! Many birthday…

Absolutely! Take your time and go at your own pace. You're more likely to stick with it. I'm anticipating having to repeat a week myself. I'm not in horrible shape and will continue to push myself, but I'm not a big runner - never have been. Zumba is my first cardio love ever! I'm doing the C25K to just incorporate running…

Hi everyone! Week 1 - Day 2 complete! Excited to do day 2 - then late last night realized that we have plans after I get home from work and thought - geez when am I gonna get this in? I got up early - 5:30 am to be exact and did my run before I got ready for work. During my run - I felt tired. It's that time of the month…

Yummo! I love Jello Mousee Temptations - dark chocolate is great! They are only 60 calories! I put 2 tbsp of Reddi whip on top and it's like a little sundae! Only 75 calories total! :happy:

Good morning everyone! Before C25K today I felt: Anticipation - could not wait to get going! During C25K today I felt: Great! I was really focusing on my breathing and running style. Trying to keep my shoulders relaxed and my breathing steady. I found that some of my faster music made me naturally swing my arms faster -…

Invest in some good running shoes! I just bought my first pair last night and just used them about a 1/2 hour ago. What a HUGE difference for me! I felt great during my 30 minute session and after a good stretch I feel even better! Definately worth it - especially if you're joining us on the C25k journey! Hope this helps!…
