How I wrecked my metabolism.
I have been looking through a lot of the threads on here and learning a lot, and thought I would share my somewhat extreme experiences of how you can mess with your metabolism. I'll start with when I totally ruined my metabolism by becoming anorexic. Obviously it is a long story - but this isn't the ED recovery group, and…

Sore wrist - is it likely to be due to lifting?
My left wrist has been sore recently and I particularly notice it when it is bearing weight - like doing pressups or mountain climbers. The pain is between my wrist and my thumb. I am a bit worried in case I did it while using my dumbbells and don't want to exacerbate the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

Nike Training Club - anyone else joined?
I just got the NTC app on my iphone and it is seriously GOOD! I have tried one workout and now I can't wait to do more. Really good explanations of exercises, good variety of intensity and length of workout, you can play your own music along with the instruction.... RECOMMEND!

Can't cope without routine

I have been stuffing my face beyond belief since Tuesday. And virtually no exercise. Now I feel so so so disgusted with myself, depressed, convinced I will have…

When something small makes your whole day :)
Today I was walking my dog in the park. He is only one year old and pretty bouncy. As I walked past a couple of ladies one of them said 'Running after that dog must be how you keep such a lovely figure!' I was so surprised and lost for words but eventually managed to stutter 'thankyou!!' Little did the lady know that she…

Purging stress relief.
Just got back from a lovely weekend away with my boyfriend. Got home, knackered, and worrying about a few things. Waited until Dad went to bed, popped into the kitchen for a snack, then ended up having a huge b/p. B/ping is like a drug to me. It gives me short term stress relief, and I am addicted to it. Does anyone else…

Natural Sports Hydration
I have recently discovered VitaCoco and thought I would share :) It is made from 100% coconut water and only contains 19 cals per 100ml. Best of all - it contains more potassium than 2 bananas and is 'packed with naturally occurring electrolytes'. I have started to use it as a sports recovery drink and love it. A great…

Hill Running
I have been searching the web to try to find out how many calories I have burned running uphill for 30 mins but to no avail! Has anyone got any ideas? All the sites I find just say 'running uphill burns far more calories than on the flat'.... yes but HOW MANY?! Any help would be much appreciated :)
