I have walked 5Ks for for over 20 years. But for the past 6 weeks I have been trying hard to run the distance outside every 3 days. I also ran on the treadmill the day before each outdoor run but using the random program to get familiar with inclinces. I used Map my run to figure out a 5K distance in my subdivision and…

5K and no electronics
I like to run with a bluetooth cordless headset. My iphone is strapped to my arm. I run to the beat of the music. I have just entered a 5K race that doesn't allow electronics. Any tips on how to maintain a good pace? Any tips on how to ignore all the panting people around me? Any tips on how to stay focused? Thank you for…

sugar cravings
I crave sugar-y foods all the time. Even when I'm not hungry. If I know it is just down the hallway or somewhere in the building I feel that I need to have a small piece of it. Why do I always want sugar foods? What can I do to stop this craving?

Number 2 when running
When I run on the treadmill at an incline I always feel like I need to stop and do number 2. If I am not on an incline I don't have this feeling. I hate stopping in the middle - or when I have just a few minutes left on the timer. The idea of putting sweat soaked shorts to continue running is gross. I always have number 1…

Marinades and counting calories
If I marinade food, how many calories should I actually be counting? example I like to marinade chicken in beer. I know there is 100 plus calories in the beer. I also know that I discard almost the whole bottle when I put the chicken on the grill after it marinades for several hours. Do I count one fourth? one eighth?…

Pillsbury apple turnovers
Whoever posted the pillsbury apple turnovers last year - you are a saint. These are fantastic right out of the oven. I figured for 4th of July I wanted an apple dessert - but not a pie. These were simple and sooooo good. I used less sugar than recipe called for, but I added 6 pieces of mini caramel bits to the center.…

HG pie crust
A few weeks ago on the Hungry Girl show she used Pillbury crescent rolls for pie crust for mini pies. I tried it with pumpkin pie filling yesterday. This is totally awesome!!! I made 12 mini pumpkin pies - my usual pie receipe but instead of a pillsbury high calorie crust I used the reduced fat crescent rolls for crust.…

Walden farms peanut butter
I bought this peanut butter with high expectations but discovered that it is absolutely disgusting on bread or an apple. I have been making Banana "ice cream" using about 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut butter with 100g of bananas and mini chocolate chips to cover the flavor. Are there any other recipes to try so I can use up…

pedometers
I've been using an Omron pedometer for a while. But I am learning that when I sweat at the gym it gets into the pedometer and either makes the screen go blank or messes up the numbers. What is a good way to protect the pedometer so I can still use it while sweating?:tongue:

Crystal Light mocktails
Does anyone have any ideas where I can find the Crystal light mocktails? I keep reading about them in magazines but I can't find the mixes with the Crystal Light. I did find a Great Values version of Margarita Mix. But I was hoping to try Mojito and Appletini. I looked at Walmart, Sweet Bay, and Publix. Thanks
