Meal planning
This may be old news to some of you, but it helps me plan my day's meals so I thought I would share it. If I know what I am going to have for dinner, I go ahead and put that in my food diary in the morning. That way, I know what I have left for lunch and don't go over. For example, I am making grilled chicken and veggie…

opinions about resuming C25K
To recap: Tuesday this week I had a calf strain. I've been RICEing since and did a light workout today on my Wii. I applied ice after, and it is doing good. There is still some achiness on palpitation, but none on walking. SO, tomorrow, should I A. just do a reg workout B. resume W3 of C25K C. Redo either a W1 or W2 of…

Calf strain
Looks like I pulled my gastrocenmius working out today. I've racked my head trying to come up with when, but nothing comes to mind. I did C25K W3D1 yesterday along with some of my normal Wii Fit Plus cardio stuff. Today I just did some WFP cardio, some light leg strength training, and rhythm boxing. At some point this…

C25K Week 3s
Oh boy! Today I did W3D1 and it is the first time I've thought I was insane for attempting this. So far it's been challenging, but well within my ability. Today I had to break up 2 run segments and walk for a bit in the middle. Although, I did end up going about .25 mile further than I have in previous sessions. On another…

Fat cells popping
That's what I'd like to think it is, at least. When I work out, especially run or heavy leg work outs I feel a "bubble popping" sensation in my legs. What is that?? L

Prepared vs Unprepared
I am making a bean soup for dinner tonight. The kit includes a mix of beans and a seasoning packet, along with instructions on what to do with them. The instructions have a nutritional break down. Do you think that is prepared or unprepared? L

This can't be right, can it?
I am using a SportsLine HRM watch. Mainly because I didn't want to deal with things stuck to my chest and the band. I've used those before and found it very uncomfy. So, Monday I did W1D1 of C25K. Using the pedometer portion of the watch, it said I did 3956 steps, burned 150 calories, and went 1.87 miles. Today, same…

Homemade salad dressing question
I like making enough of my oil and vinegar dressing to last for a few salads; however, I find when I store it in the fridge the olive oil congeals. Any hints on to how I can keep this from happening? L

C25K W1D1
How did it go for those that started today? I had a minor snafu with my Blackberry, but other than that.... I DID IT! I think someone here says she puts her BB in her sports bra and I thought that was a great idea. It fit right between the girls and I barely knew it was there... until it slipped through the band of my…

Starting C25K tomorrow
Crap I said it now I have to do it LOL I was a kid who looked at the 440 in PE and thought "seriously?" Potentially twelve 440's is a daunting thought. A few questions: I really don't want to bog myself down with a lot of gear. I will have my Blackberry for the podcast and at least for now will have to hand hold it. If I…

Monte Cristo!
Yes I said it, Monte Cristo, that ham and turkey batter dipped, fried, sugar coated, add preserves for good measure greasy goodness. Also, it's one that items that appears so rarely on a restaurant menu that it's bound to be an temptation for me. Such was the case yesterday when I checked out the menu for a place we would…

Toner Sneakers
I have been thinking about starting the Couch to 5K program, but the only sneakers I have are a toner type of sneaker. Is it okay to run in those? I have the TrimFit ones from Tarzhey. L

Multiple goals in the house
A little background here: My 20 year old son fell 180 ft from a cliff in Kentucky on March 20. So thankful he survived, but he did break his right scapula, 3 right ribs, 3 vertebra, right tib/fib/ankle/calcaneus. Everything but the leg has heeled by now, but the leg is full of complications and we found out yesterday that…

Extra calories over the weekend
Had a good weekend with a few extra calories. When I work out today, should I still eat the calories I burn off or call it "even" after the weekend? Linda
