Need Help With Kitchen Scale
I recently bought a kitchen scale to help me better record my food intake. I'm not sure how to convert my ounces per serving to cups per serving. For example, I had spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner. The meal I ate weighed 10.5 ounces. When I went to record that, I could only find meals measured in cups, not ounces. I'm…

Leg Pain
Last week I had pain in both my quads (which I've never had before) so I thought it might be due to me needing new shoes. I got new running shoes, and all seemed well. About a week later, I started having pain in my calves (also something I've never experienced before). During yesterday's run, I had to stop after 4 miles…

Quad Pain & Running
I'm currently running about 25 - 30+ miles a week. Except for a minor ache or pain here and there due to a long run, I usually feel great. An old knee injury was aggravated a few weeks ago, so I took a week off from running. When I started up again a week later, I felt 100% but still eased back into my training program for…

How Sore Should I Be, Really?
A little background: I am currently training for a 1/2 Marathon and the program calls for two days a week of cross training. I've decided I wanted to start doing more exercises with weights because I want more upper body definition than I get from running. I am really lost as to where to begin, so I went to a personal…

Horrible Run
I set out this morning to run about 5-1/2 miles (normal for me) but, after 3 miles, I was so fatigued, I had to walk. I NEVER do that. I know that the heat sucked the energy right out of me, but regardless, it's so unlike me not to finish a run. I had no pain -- just fatigue. I managed to run/walk the last stretch but, I…

Steel Cut Oats
I tried some steel cut oats for the first time this morning. I was wondering what the appeal was, and after trying them, I am still wondering. LOL. I don't know if they are something I would want to eat on a regular basis. It reminded me of eating rice? Am I missing something? Should I add some flavor to the oats? Are the…

Question For Experienced Runners
I started running last September. I completed a c25k program in November and have since raced in three 5Ks (with another one scheduled in two weeks!). Yesterday, someone on here had a link to an article about proper running form. I have never had any formal training for this sport (which I understand most people have not)…

Favorite Magazine?
My youngest daughter is doing a fundraiser at school by selling magazines. I was tempted to subscribe to one. But which one? I am looking for a "health/fitness" type of magazine. I was swaying towards "Self" or "Health". Does anyone here subscribe to either of these? Any comments or input would be appreciated. My older…

Couch To 5K
I'm going to do it! Starting today! My final goal after the 10 week program is to run in a local 5K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I've never been a runner but always wanted to try. I've been exercising daily for two months now, so I think I am up to the challenge -- looks like the program starts relatively slow. Any…

First Day!
I'm new to this site. Very excited with what I've seen so far! I'm very motivated about losing the weight I gained after quitting smoking. I'm hoping this site will help. :)
