Anyone go through craving cycles?
I am going through a crazy time right now! I've been doing so well but the last week has been nuts! I've wanted junk food left and right. Cookies! Chips! Rich food! And no, it's not my TOM. But I've missed two of those (no, not pregnant verified with blood test at doctor). I only have 7lbs to go and I feel like I'm blowing…

Calling all RUNNERS! Marathoners or beginners!
How did everyone get started? Did you use a program? Where are you now? I see lots of questions about running on here and I started to wonder everyone's story.

When to take a rest day?
I've always heard you didn't need to take a rest day from cardio. My husband and I rode a lot this past weekend and the back of my thighs hurt! We went 32 miles over Saturday and Sunday and a small leisure ride last night of 5 miles. Today I hurt a bit when walking. Should I take a rest day or is it not necessary?

For lunch my colleague wanted Applebee's which at home I'd say no to, but…
