Hi all! I'll be going to London near the end of May and I'd like to know where's a good area/place to stay (for a reasonable price - $50 CDN a night/pp) where I can do a few runs/walks in the mornings/evening and still have decent either tube access to places like museums and possible castles as well as places to get…

Looking for Vacation Suggestions
We just went on a tour of a cruise ship last night and although it was very fancy, I really felt that it was just the complete opposite of what I'd be looking for in a vacation. It was all about over indulgence with food, gambling, alcohol, "entertainment", extravagant jewellery and clothes and little to no exercise or…

Cheat Day or Craving Satisfaction?
I'm wondering about peoples' opinion on cheat days vs. anything in moderation. I find that I can be really "good" during the week, even ignoring cravings for pie, chocolate, cheesecake etc. but that's because I have a cheat "day" scheduled. However, when that cheat day comes around, I have a list of things I wanted to eat…

Music out on the street
Anyone out there find themselves walking to the beat of the music that stores pump out and then change their stride so that it doesn't match so that you don't "conform"? I do. Just to be different. That is all.

What does a certain food remind you of?
I was cutting strawberries up today and noticed that I cut them in the same way my mom did when I was a kid. That made me think of the many cheerios + strawberries + milk breakfasts I would have as a kid. It was just so good back then. Now, the same combo doesn't taste as good to me, but I still think of it as a fond…

Reading Your Stomach on Full and Empty
What are the signs you notice when you are really, truly hungry? And how do you feel when you are full? And to add to that, what do you eat when you are BEYOND hungry? Where you feel like you have a huge hole in your stomach like the grand canyon? I feel like I could eat an entire loaf of bread at this point, but if I do,…

Love yourself...give her sweets?
I know the REAL answer to this but it's something I struggle with since becoming an aware adult. Why is it, that if I love myself, I wouldn't want to eat indulgent treats like rich chocolate or a home made cookie? Aren't these things just ways of giving my body what it likes? It tastes SO GOOD! I know they're not "healthy"…

Exercise Clothes - to wash or hang dry?
Just a survey out there....I have a few really good quality, moisture whicking shirts and capris/pants which I use for outdoor bootcamps and runs. I also ride to work and wear the same clothes. What I'm wondering is how often you wash your gear and do you wear the same gear more than once a week? I don't want to ruin my…

Water Water Everywhere
Just wondering if anyone else is having an issue keeping hydrated. I've upped my water to 2 L a day and my "hydration" on my scale is below 50% (43%). I also have to pee all the time. What gives? Will this even out? When will I be completely hydrated? I think I'm not retaining as much water because I'm watching my sodium,…

Vegetarian at Restaurants
Looking for advice...going to be eating out at restaurants a lot this weekend with my parents in town. What should I choose to eat for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner out? We're not going to be going to any "vegetarian" exclusive places either...so a lot of my protein options are cheese and nuts, big calorie foods! Also, I…

As well, 3 X + a week I have an 1 hr. 15 minute boot camp work out that includes stair climbing, running and various strength exercises…
