Marathon runners why are they not all stick thin???
My older sister has been involved in running marathon for about 4 years now. She is planning on running 4 next year. She runs probably 30-40 miles per week. From a conditioning stand point she is in great shape but it kind of baffles me that she is still slightly over weight. Using BMI she would probably be at the very…

Nearing pre-pregnancy weight...
So I weighed myself this morning and I am less than 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight... I should be more excited since I'm already so close just 3 and a half months after having my son, but I can definitely tell that my pre-pregancy weight will not equal pre-pregnancy body! I'm sure there are a lot of women out there…

Frozen Egg White Dessert
I can't take credit for this recipe b/c I saw it on Natalie's Hodson's facebook fan page, but I made them last night and they are so GOOD! They are a good high protein treat that I will consistently use for my last meal! The taste a lot like a chocolate popsicle. 1/3 carton of 100% Egg whites (use the carton of egg whites…

Becoming obsessive...
I have noticed a lot of people on here seem to have become obsessed with their calorie and macro nutrient counts. I see countless questions regarding being over/under their calories for one day or one day they aren't spot on with their nutrient percentages and they want to know if that is going to hinder their weight loss.…

Quick and Easy Salmon Dinner
So my husband was out of town last night and when he is I LOVE to cook fish for dinner, seeing how he hates it! This was a little something I threw together last night that ended up being very good and very quick to prepare! Even better was the fact I didn't use the big oven. I did it in my little convection oven/toaster…

Running training programs...
I've decided I want to start running again. I started a few months ago but hurt my knee. It has bothered me ever since. It finally is starting to feel like normal again. Are there any runners that have suggestions for a training schedule? I am wanting to first probably train for a 10K, then work up to a half marathon, and…

Bummed!!
So I woke up this morning and my left knee is HUGE! I've had problems with this knee for some 12 years now. I dislocated my knee cap a hand full of times while playing soccer and basketball in high school. I had surgery on it before my senior year. They went in and cut the patellar tendon, repositioned the knee cap, and…

Bridalplasty... what a joke!
I'm a little bored today, so I am just posting some topics that I have thought about lately. I'm not sure if anyone has posted anything on E!'s new reality show Bridalplasty yet, but my husband and I were watching a rerun of this show last night. I am a reality TV show junky and he's just a nice husband that'll watch with…

High Prolactin Levels
About 6 years ago I was diagnosed with high prolactin levels. They doctors did an MRI and did not see anything but suspect a micro pitutitary adenoma. My prolactin levels were only in the "slightly elevated" range so the doctors elected to put me on birth control to regulate my monthly cycles. I recently moved and went to…

Sore from working out...
I have become obsessed with working out. I love to lift weights. I love that sore feeling I get when I push myself. Well my husband told me the other day that when your body is sore from working out it's a good thing b/c your metabolism is higher then. I was just curious if this was accurate??

Wedding over time to get back on track!
So I just got back from my honeymoon last Friday. I weighed Monday morning and to my shock I was only up 2 lbs! That is amazing considering the week before my wedding and the week of the honeymoon I pretty much threw all dieting to the wind! All my friends keep saying oh now that you're married you don't have to try as…

Jillian Michaels sending mixed messages?
Has anyone else read the recent articles about Jillian Michaels saying she is going to adopt babies because she was once overweight and she wouldn't want to do that to her body again? To me this seems to send the the wrong message to women. Just wondered what everyone else thought.

Concession stand food??
