Hey ladies, Good day so far...5 mile run, plus Legs & Back this morning. It's been a fairly hungry day, but I've managed it well with snacks. And I splurged on an egg white flatbread sandwich with my pumpkin coffee -yes, cream; no, sugar- from Dunkin Donuts for breakfast (don't judge :tongue: ). Even with that, before my…

Goals for November... -Lower body fat by 1% -Stay in my happy 144-148 range -Kick *kitten* next week at my last half marathon of the year -Continue to log my food -As always, strive to maintain balance in my nutrition and workouts. -Enjoy my occasional sweet treat/indulgence, but be sure that it stays ON OCCASION. I'm not…

Tagging

Hey all! Rest day- I usually have active rest days, where I just do yoga, stretching, or take a walk...no lifting, running, or heavy cardio. Depending on the day, I am able to get a full 24 hours of rest...but if I'm really feeling tired or run down I allow a day of total rest. Cold cereal- I usually prefer oatmeal, but I…

Holy wow! Y'all are making me look bad; I don't even run like that when I am training. :laugh: I have another half marathon in 2 weeks...it will be #7. Looking forward to it because it will be an awesome race...but also my last one for the year. So looking forward to my down time!

Hey lady! I just started posting in here a couple days ago...really think you'll enjoy it here. :happy:

Pumpkin pancakes with real maple syrup for dinner. Happiness on a plate. YUM.

Oooh, good luck! Just enjoy it...run happy, finish strong! :flowerforyou: Bet that's a beautiful area to race. (jealous. :laugh: )

Banana dark choc chip sounds yummy too! I am trying really hard to get out of the whole 'food guilt' mentality. Old habits die hard, but I am working on it. I have lost 100+ pounds and kept it off for nearly 2.5 years, but sometimes it's hard not to freak out if I think I am eating too much. Now that I am pretty heavily…

Fav fitness gadgets- iPod and bodybugg, definitely. I just made a yummy pita pizza with spinach, red peppers and mushrooms for breakfast. Mmmmm. I seriously love food. This group makes me happy. And I found love4's cheesecake recipe in an earlier thread...need to try! Now, any guilt I had over the pumpkin chocolate chip…

They also have a dark chocolate/peanut butter sweet and salty mix...SO GOOD.

Hahaha, I know what you mean. I went back to 2% milk to help increase cals AND I use half and half in my coffee. *gasp*

This. Running IS my sport. It just so happens that I enjoy lifting and other workouts as well for cross-training. I spent my youth being the kid that gets made fun of and picked last to play. Not going there again. Why does it matter if people want to run instead of playing a team sport? It's still exercise. Everyone isn't…

I love the idea of a recipe thread, but I'm useless as far as knowing how to prepare a pumpkin. LOL. I only ever use the canned stuff.

I wear a BodyBugg, so I pretty much shoot for those amounts as a total. But then again, I have my MFP settings to very active so I don't account for exercise cals...I just eat. Yesterday for example, I did Plyometrics and ran. My BB said that I burned about 2800 for the day, and I ate somewhere around 2200.

Hi everyone :flowerforyou: So nice to see a group of other women who are incredibly active and also EAT! A little about me...I am 5'8, weigh 145ish (yay for fluctuation), and am a distance runner who also does P90X. This is actually my second attempt at it, as I got frustrated during the first round with my lack of…

Bummer...I'm in Howard County, pretty far. Good luck though!

LOL...I learned my lesson the hard way about peppermint extract like that, too! Now, it's strictly over the sink and only 1/8 teaspoon or less. Much happier that way.

My favorite is with almond milk, peanut butter and just a little bit of cheesecake flavored pudding powder...but sometimes I'll make Chocolate covered strawberries (shakeology, almond milk, strawberries) or Peppermint Mocha (cold brewed coffee, almond milk, and a teeny bit of peppermint extract.) The possibilities are…

Rest day for me! I'm seriously modifying the program this round, so I will be all over the place schedule-wise. Sticking to a plan of 3 run days, 2 to 3 (hopefully 3) lifting days and a rest/stretch/yoga day. I figured out that trying to adhere to the strict schedule killed both my training (I am a distance runner) and my…

Shoulders & Arms + ARX tonight. Ought to be interesting since I'm still feeling the Dynamic Yoga from Monday! Oh well. :happy: Great job ladies...keep pushing play!

Did Cardio X today...will run tomorrow, and hit the Shoulders & Arms on Wednesday. Great job ladies! :flowerforyou:

Started round 2 today...making some changes to fit with my running and make me slightly less obsessive and crazy this time. Definitely gotta bring it because I bought my very fitted wedding dress yesterday and I need to look HOT in it! Looking forward to posting more. :-)

Bump :flowerforyou:

I do my P90X and still run 3x/week.

Yum! Thanks for sharing!

I could have been writing this very post just a few weeks ago. In the first 5 weeks, I gained 7 pounds...and have FINALLY lost 5 of them. I sort-of kept up with my running and ate pretty well, but that scale was starting to piss me off. I just forced myself to stay with it -doing the classic program, I don't need any more…

Are you hydrating enough? Your electrolytes could be low if you're sweating a lot.

Been slacking on the posts lately, but keeping up with the workouts. Did Chest, Shoulders & Tris/ARX to start off Week 7. Can't believe I've made it this far! My right wrist was bothering me a bit today, so I had to dial it back on the pushups...but otherwise, a pretty good workout. Glad to see everyone still hanging in…
