Restarting....Again...
Starting today I am going to be tracking my food intake again as just eating "healthier" is not providing the results I want and need. I have had several bumps in the road and it's time to climb over them once and for all! A few of my bumps...3 kids, a husband that eats huge portions (which leads me to eat more), thyroid…

When you are sick
When you are not feeling great do you still workout? I am getting a cold (or my allergies are killing me slowly) and I did T25 already today but I still have C25K to do later today. At what point to you decide to not workout and is it OK to push yourself to workout if you are just not feeling your best with a sore throat…

C25K/beginning runner question
I started C25K today. I have never been a runner so I have no clue if this is normal or not. My calves really were crampy and painful while running. Is this just my legs getting used to doing it or does it indicate something else? I went and bought new running shoes so shoes are not an issue, I was not going very fast, I…

I need new shoes - recommendations?
I need to get some new tennis shoes but I want to know what kind would be the best to get. I have wide feet so I am kind of limited in what I can find but if I look hard enough I can find them but it's easier if I know what to look for. I am doing T25 right now but I am also going to be doing several 5K and 7K walks this…

Foam rolling questions
I have looked on youtube to learn how to do it and I used mine last night and it really helped my sore muscles but since I am new to this I have a few questions that I am sure someone here can answer. Can you foam roll before a workout or do you only do it afterwards? Is it ok to do it several times a day? Is a harder…

FitBit questions
I have been wanting to get a FitBit (or something like it) for a while now and I decided it is time to get serious about losing weight and getting one will help me in that. I'm starting to do research on them to determine which one I should get. I don't want to buy one and then find out there is another one that would have…

Thyroid surgery
Has anyone had their thyroid removed? I have to have mine removed and I am mainly curious about how your having it removed has affected your weight loss. My levels are "OK" but according to the current ranges I am a bit hypothyroid. How long did it take to figure out your medication level once you had it removed? I have…

How do you cook your fish?
My husband and I have decided to incorporate fish into our weekly dinners at least twice a week. I need some ideas of how to cook fish that is good but does not increase the calorie/fat content a ton. Usually I buy Tilapia and cook it with lemon and a squirt of butter spray or I marinade it in FF Zesty Italian Dressing for…

Wow...
I ate chinese food this weekend and gained 5 pounds! All I had was a cup of hot and sour soup and some pork chow mein...I NEVER thought eating that would make me gain 5 pounds overnight. I have drank a ton of water the past few days but I am still up this morning :(
