I really bonked during my 5k race...help!
I ran my 2nd 5k race yesterday. The course was much hillier than expected, but I couldn't believe the feeling I got just a quarter mile into the race! My feet felt...heavy. My body felt like junk and I was in some real pain. I was sick by the finish and was super overheated and felt like throwing up. (The race was at a…

Pre/post morning run and breakfast?
So I have started running in the mornings before work. I have been able to get in about 2ish miles before jumping in the shower and getting my day started. My question is a few parts: -Should I eat something before my run? I don't feel hungry (I literally get up, change and run) but I didn't know if this was good for you.…

This is why. This is what I keep reading to remind myself to not drink pop...I used to not drink more than maybe a can or two a month, but I've fallen off that wagon. Here's a huge reason why I didn't before and AM going to stop again! http://blisstree.com/feel/what-happens-to-your-body-if-you-drink-a-coke-right-now/ Have…

Need my Dear Abby! Personal girly advice please...
So I've been having issues with a few old friends. We're all 23/24 now and were absolutely inseparable during high school years and after. And just as background info, I think alot of my feelings of loneliness stem from a HUGE lack of support during this time last year, when my normally lovely boyfriend was dealing with…

The battle of the belly bulge...
I'm halfway to my weight loss goal! The last few pounds is going to be a challenge, but I feel like its mostly my belly that I will have to work on. My mom has a bit of a belly too so I feel that I might be fighting genetics on this, but since I know that stomach fat is so so bad for your heart health and increases your…

Weight training for newbies
Hello all =) I'm an ex-swimmer trying to get my muscles back! I know I will probably never look like the swimming linebacker that I used to (muscle wise anyways) but I am trying to tone a little and I know it promotes weight loss. I recently did the free first time training session at my gym and the guy WAY overloaded me…

I'm terrified!
...of the sag! I'm afraid that after losing weight I will have saggy skin. I had a friend in college drop about 20-30 pounds (about what i'm trying to lose) and her body 'dropped' as well. Is there anything I can do differently? For example, I have a rather large chest and I'd rather not have the girls *ahem* going south…

Hello! I wasn't able to make the gym today but wanted to do something. So I did a 10 minute butt and thigh workout from our Comcast on demand and am about to do a different 10 minute one. How do I know what I burned so I can add it to my diary? Btw I am new and looking for friends! =)
