Exercise After Eating?
Hi everyone, I'm running another 5k on Thanksgiving, so I'm starting to really run again (rather than elliptical) to get prepared for it. Normally, i'll have my snack around 4:00/4:30 (usually an apple or carrots) and then go to the gym around 6. I will run a 5k in about 34 minutes, and then after I finish my stomach…

zucchini
In an effort to eat more vegetables, I bought a bad of frozen zucchini pieces from the food store. I heard of grilled zucchini, so I put them on the george foreman. They just came out blah, and I couldn't really eat them :frown: . I'm not too sure I like just plain zucchini, but i have had it at restaurants and liked how…

Again, for real this time
Ok, so i've been on MFP plan for a while now. Originally, I had lost 6 pounds in about two months, until I realized that my scale was broken and was reading 5 lbs below what it should :( . For the past few weeks (about 2 months i guess) i've been stuck here. I started training to run at 5k- some days I can do it, and other…

Kickboxing
Hello Everyone, Each week at the gym I take a "box and burn" class- much like an aerobics + kickboxing class for 45 minutes. I was wondering if anyone could approximate how many calories that burns? I know the best way would be a heart rate monitor, but I'm just a broke college student :( Thanks!
