HUGE fan of C25k! I started running using the C25k plan in 2009. Was a 100% nonrunner. I couldnt run 1/2 a lap around the track without feeling like I was dying. I committed to the program... did 3 days a week, exactly like it said. Some weeks I repeated once. I ran my first 5k in April 2009 and I was hooked on racing! So…

no gym today but did meet up with a friend for a 4 mile trail run at 7 am (26 freaking degrees out this morning!)

I ordered Chalean a few days ago - hope it comes tomorrow! What will I need weights wise? I have tons of free weights. Do I need a bar and weights too?

thank you all for your comments - very helpful. I was counting my calories not to make sure I didnt eat too much but because I was worried I wasnt eating enough. Im so used to making my meals lighter, smaller more frequent. So at first I didnt think I was giving myself enough food and thats why I was hungry in between so I…

Can I join late? Im going away to Toronto for a medical conference the first week and there is just no way that I will be on plan to that extent but when I get back I will defiately need a recharge...

I thrown three eggs, some diced peppers and onions and sausage into a small baking dish in the toaster oven at 400 degree while Im showering and getting ready for work. Perfectly baked egg casserole when Im done. I top it with salsa and enjoy! Lately I have been in a rush so I make my bulletproof coffee and drink it on the…

Dairy has been shockingly easy for me to give up. But I dont feel 100% agaist it as I do with say wheat. If I want a bite of cheese or want to eat something I didnt make that I know was made with dairy then Im ok with that but Id say Im dairy free about 90% of the time. I miss my greek yogurt and what not but everything I…

I have decided to try this one - but with raspberries instead of the banana sauce. I will let you know how it turns out. http://paleobetty.com/2011/07/21/decadent-flourless-chocolate-cake-with-banana-cinnamon-sauce/

I was very skeptical but love it! I dont put the butter in though - just coconut oil and a touch of coconut milk and blend it in my single cup smoothie blender. Will definately need to try adding some pumpkin spice!

how do I get to where I can change my recommended macros?

I cant justify the cost for it over the cost of my family membership at the gym which Im not dropping. Someone suggested this website - Ive been doing it for a few days... love it! Maybe a good start... http://calicrossfit.blogspot.com/

I keep frozen blackberries and raspberries in the freezer - a cup of them makes me feel like Im having some form of dessert.

thanks everyone!

what is bulletproof? Im day 3 too and feel like CRUD - I have a MASSIVE headache and I have NO energy. Im rethinking things until after this weekend - I have a half marathon on sat and cannot imagine getting through it feeling like this.

Thanks - I was 80% wheat free before so Im used to having lower carbs and running. Granted in a perfect world my half would have been last weekend and I could have celebrated the end of the run with pie :) As for looking up restaurants - not really a possibility. This run is in amish country... all small little…

bump... wonder what the calories would be using PB2

Thank you - I needed reminded of that today.

I bought a steamer - use it for tons of veggies and even shrimp :)

That is AWESOME! Its amazing that you two could do it together and move closer together because of it!

I put vanilla unsweetenned almond milk in mine - only 40 calories per 8 oz! And it taste yummy!

We grilled some last night... I think the key is bribing it a few hours in a salt bath. The wash off and marinade... we used spittle olive oil/peppers/garlic/Chili powder/diced onion and enough water to make it coat. Then make sure u don't overdoing.

Everyone has a different preference. I like to run with someone else but prefer to do weights on my own or in a class but focusing just on me.

I HATE egg beaters. I typically will have one whole egg and 2-3 egg whites depending on how hungry I am. I only use local farm eggs that have so much more flavor too.

Did you have a problem getting into the ING NYC the first time? I heard its hard to get into ... I would LOVE to do this race next year!

You look great! And your now pic looks alot smaller than 200ish!

I will be doing my second in November - but it feels like my first since I had a baby inbetween them :) What race are you doing? Im doing Phili.
