Any foragers out there?
I would usually consider this a separate hobby from fitness, but if you think about it, it's exercise + nutrition, so it totally fits! :flowerforyou: This time of year, I'm out digging for ramps and getting fiddleheads. Come autumn, I mushroom hunt. Anybody else like to find their food in the woods?

Somewhere in between obese and athletic!
So, I hopped on my Aria scale today and it told me my BF% was 32.5! I know, I know, those things are notoriously unreliable...but still, I haven't thought about my BF% in a bit, so I tried out the online calculators on fat 2 fit tools, and here were the results: Body fat: 25.4% Covert-Bailey: 21.2% Military: 16.8% Now, I…

Runner, Tough Mudder-to-be looking for some friends
Hiya - I'm A.J. - a 27 year old, living in New England. I'm an intermediate runner, training for a Tough Mudder in August. I'm relatively fit, but I'm really struggling with stepping it up to the next level in preparation for this event. I've got way too many excuses to sell to myself! I'd love some new friends to chat…

Breathing patterns for exercise

Freeway to 10k
I have been running 30 solid minutes a few days a week for most of this year, but I never seem to be able to motivate myself to increase that to any more than 40 minutes. It's a totally mental barrier, because I'm sweating, but not dying at the end of 40 min. I thought I would try a different tack. Have any of you done the…

Self-discipline
I was going to post this on my blog, but I'd actually love to hear all your thoughts about it! Have you ever felt ambushed by circumstance? Like, you sleep through your alarm on a day that you are supposed to be in work earlier than normal, scramble together to get in on time, and stay later than usual, anyway. You come…

30 day shred alone or...?
Hi folks, I'm a first time 30DSer and I just did level 1 day 1! I'm using 5 lb weights, and it definitely was a challenge. Prior to this, I was doing 30-60 min of cardio (treadmill or elliptical) about 6 days a week. With this program only being 20 min, I don't want to give up my running entirely for 30 days, because I…

Meal Planning Lunches - HELP!
I love to play in the kitchen, and I cook nearly 100% of my dinners - but for some reason, when it comes to packing lunches and snacks for work, I feel totally overwhelmed! We have a caf with decently priced healthy choices, but I end up going with the not so healthy options, or thanks to a new cash-only policy, I eat at…
