I have about a billion questions.
But I'll try to only ask a couple for now! First off, my first tri is more of just a fitness goal for me. I've always wanted to do one and this seemed like a good step in putting all my work on something measurable. 1. Do I have to buy a triathlon suit? Or whatever they are called. If not, what do you wear coming straight…

So, I want a 6 pack.
I still have a nice fat layer on my stomach, which I know has to go via cardio pretty much. But, as for ab workouts. I have read before that doing too many is ineffective and doing too little is also obviously not good. What do you think is a good daily goal, what have you seen results with?

Time limits on machines..
I just set a new goal literally yesterday, and it was "try to run a 5k in 30 minutes" which is all well and good. BUT then I went to the gym today and it burned my *kitten* to find out there is a 20 minute time limit on the treadmills! I will rebel it out as long as it can, but I am a rule follower and will feel bad if…

Small step for mankind-big step for Christy!
A teeny-tiny success story! I went to the gym today, I faced my fear and went during the busiest times of the day!! That was one thing, the second was, since I went during a busy time, everything was taken so I had to take the last treadmill (which I despise because I think I am a terrible runner and everyone is judging…

Anyone with food on their mind?
Hey there, I hope I am not alone when I say that I am 100% addicted to food and it's EXHAUSTING. If I had to guess, I would say 90% of my daily thought is spent on what I am going to eat, or what I have ate.

Vomiting During Workouts-help!

And not only that but I get very…
