Nutrition help and Insanity
So I just finished up on week 5 of Insanity yesterday. I am NOT losing weight or inches. I wear a HRM every time I work out, and eat back every bit of my "exercise" calories (and then some), but I'm stuck, and have been stuck for the last 3 weeks. Super frustrating. I drink usually around 80oz of water a day, but out most…

Body Media Fit vs Polar HRM???
Okay, so I'm probably "beating a dead horse", but... I currently have a FitBit, but want something different. A friend of mine has Body Media Fit and recommended that, but I know that the Polar HRM products are good too. Personal preferences? Dislikes of either or both?

Back pain/soreness and running??
Okay, so I've been running my treadmill for quite some time now (generally 3+miles @ 6mph). I just started C25k outside, and my back is killing me!! It's usually the day after I run C25k. Any suggestions? I'm going to try and get an appointment with my chiro today, and I'm guessing it's due to the higher impact of running…

PB2 Peanut Butter Chicken
Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum the first time... (I'm new) So, I just found a recipe for Peanut Butter Chicken, and substituted PB2 for what it called for in regular Peanut Butter.

Runners I need some advise and help...
Okay so I've started running on our brand new Nordic Trac. I've been running 2 miles at 5-5.3mph. I walk for 1/2 mile before and after at 4.0mph as a warm up/cool down. First question: Is it better to increase your speed first or distance?? Does it matter?? I'm going to run my first 5k this summer, and want to try and have…

Running shoes
I need some suggestions for running shoes. I just started back running, have SUPER high arches, and get sore knees and hips (horseback riding for too many years). Any suggestions? I'm not against spending some money on them, but don't really know what everyone thinks is a good brand/shoe/etc... Suggestions?

I need to give myself more credit...
Okay so maybe this falls under "Successes", but it also applies to Fitness and Exercise... None the less... I just had a huge awakening that I very much need to start giving myself more credit for what I'm capable of. I just ran 2 miles like it was nothing. I started out walking for 1/4 mile to get warmed up, and then just…

Too much protein??
Okay, so I think I already know the answer to this, but can you have too much protein in your diet? I feel like when I log my food at the end of the day I am always very much over on my protein. I drink TONS of water so I don't think I'm too worried about it, but just needed to make sure :happy:
