Week 4 Day 1
Anyone else on week 4? What did you think? It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be especially after being over my calorie goal yesterday with our Father's Day celebrations. It was a little tough to get motivated to do it as it is "that time" and I feel like one big bloated, cramping, blob! :sick: Question: How many of…

Plantar Fasciitis
I have plantar fasciitis in both feet since March. I have supportive shoes and do stretches using a hand towel to pull the ball of my foot back as directed by my doc. He also said no running on cement and they will "work themselves out." Anything else I can do? I do NOT want to have to get shots in my feet...my Dr. said…

My First 5K
I ran my 1st 5K on the 4th of July. It was humid and about 80 degrees by 8 am. I am on week 6 and have only run on my treadmill. Everyone told me it was different running outside and they weren't kidding! It didn't help that the race started with a hill and had about 4 others throughout the race. I ran up the first one,…

I have always walked…

I do it on my treadmill at a speed of 3.5 for the brisk walk and 4.5 for the running because he said you should be able to talk while you run. (Note: this is not the pace per mile) I am wondering how I…

Exercises to minimize the Pear Shape
So I have been pear shaped since I got hips way back in my puberty days (like a hundred years ago), but now that I am overweight it's more exaggerated than ever (32" waist, 43" hips). Any suggestions on how to pare down the pear shape?

Day 1
So this is pretty much day 1 of SERIOUSLY trying to lose the 40 pounds that crept up on me over the last 4 years of working and going to grad school. I finished last summer with my degree, but my habit of sitting on my butt on my computer every night did not. I made a resolution to lose 40lbs by my 40th b-day in August, so…
