Scones
So, last night I was watching Modern Family (hilarious show, btw) and Mitchell made scones that were butter-free and non-fat. Could such a glorious thing exist? Anyone have recipes for scones? Mmmmm.....scones....

P90X Question
I just finished day one of P90X, which I have tried before. I am really trying to focus on my nutrition to get the best results possible but I have a couple questions for you folks. 1. Push-ups NEVER seem to get easier for me! Is it like this for anyone else? This is more of a rant because it bothers me that I struggle…

Binge Eating Help
Binge eaters - how did you do it? If you succeeded at your fitness goals, I want to know how. I am now taking prozac but the compulsive eating is still here. I'm banging my head against the wall. Why can't I stop? I've accomplished so much, why can't I get a good grip on this????

Adidas Climawarm
I bought a pair of Climawarm running pants this week but haven't tried them out yet. I tried looking online but I can't see what temperature they are good to. Today will be around -5 but next Saturday will be like -30!!! I'm just really not sure what to wear for my marathon training!!!

Web cam help!
HELP! Any video bloggers? I want to document my P90X2 journey but the webcam on my laptop isn't working. When I open You Cam all it shows is a blank screen and if I try Movie Maker it just shows a black screen with some fuzzy lines.

P90X2 Questions
1. Has anyone made a worksheet for Plyocide? It's not on the official worksheets and I would like to track my progress. 2. Is anyone else running in addition to X2? What are your distances and when are you squeezing it in? I have a marathon coming up on May 27 in Calgary.

Blender Suggestions
I need suggestions for a GOOD blender for under $80cdn. It has to be big enough to handle my shakeology so a magic bullet wont cut it!

Food Inc.
I see that this documentary is on Netflix and I would like to watch it. Here is the thing...I can't handle gore...or watching animals being killed. Is this film super graphic? I know it's changed the way a lot of people eat but I want fair warning of what I will see. Stupid question?

Garage Gym Help!
My husband and I want to turn our garage into a gym but I need some advice! Our treadmill is already in there and is going unused because our garage REEKS like garbage. We have to keep our garbage can in there at all times (except for garbage day) because we live in a townhouse complex and there are rules about this. The…

Stinky workout clothes
Not too sure what category to put this under...so bear with me. Normally I drape my workout clothes over my hamper so they don't sit in a wet lump at the bottom. However, my husband threw them in and then tossed his yucky workout clothes on top of that. Gag. Now I can't get the mildew smell out of my favorite inspirational…

Ladies - Polar Chest Strap
So, I just ran my SECOND half marathon today and I have wicked blistering on my breasts from the chest strap. Like a burn. It only happens when I run (and I only notice it AFTER the run, not during), not when I do Insanity or P90X. Freaking hurts! Does anyone else experience this?

Energy supplements for a half marathon!
Do you use energy gels or sport beans? I did my first half in May and never thought to bring something like that but was pleasantly surpirsed when I saw that they were handing out GU Energy Gels along the race route! They came in handy! They also did Gatorade but I never took any. When I was in Running Room as few weeks…

What us the difference between STRENGHT and STRENGTH WITH BANDS? I just did plain STRENGTH…

Tell me about CLEAN EATING
I need help. I am about to enter MONTH TWO of Insanity, which is an amazing accomplishment but the inches aren't budgeing like they should be. I am thinking about what it means to eat clean, I certainly haven't been doing it and I want RESULTS. Being a binge eater isn't helping but I am getting treatment. Tell me about…

Binge Eating
I had a moment last night, as I sat with the ice cream container on my lap while watching TV. I need HELP. Like actual professional help. Even though I am not over weight (I weigh 136lbs), I am absolutely a binge eater. I hate myself. It's preventing me from succeeding in programs that I love. I really want my I EARNED IT…

Rest Day Question - WWYD
So, I just started Insanity and week one didn't go so well. I had two interrupted workouts and couldn't finish them. Today is my rest day and I feel pretty good, so I was going to make one up today and another on Sunday, when I also do Cardio Recovery. Bad idea? I just hate knowing that I am down two workouts ALREADY.

I need iPhone help!
I'm on my third iPhone since January! I love it when it works properly but the camera has frozen several times and it doesn't sync well with my computer (which runs XP). I tried to do a restore tonight and got an error message with the icon to plug in the USB port...it already is plugged in! My laptop runs Vista but I have…

Push Ups Question
This has probably been asked a million times, bear with me. Which is better: be on my knees and go LOW or on my toes and do more reps without the depth. Thoughts?

I did it! A half-marathon, that is!
A couple months ago I posted on the Fitness board wondering if it was too late to start training for my half-marathon. My goal was to do it in under 2:30. Well, today I ran it! I RAN it, and I FINISHED it! Next to having babies, it was the best experience ever! Here is my story: 4:30am - too excited/nervous to sleep so I…

P90X Modification Question
First - Never lend things to friends who don't give things back...like pull-up bars! Ok, I want to start P90X on Monday again but I don't have the pull-up bar. I do, however have resistance bands and tubing. How would I modify the exercises in the video that uses the bar (Chest and Back?)? If I remember correctly, the girl…

Who would YOU believe?
So today I was supposed to run 8 miles to train for my half marathon (according to Hal Higdon). So I mapped it out on www.mapmyrun.com and came up with a run that said something like 8.39mi or something. Soooo...i go on my run with the imapmyrun app going on my iphone. I boot it around the hood and it was great! I get home…

Half-Marathon - Doable?
I am registered in the Calgary Marathon for the end of May and I totally slacked in the training department and then had a small knee injury. However, I am doing a 10k race this weekend and I know I can do it (and then some). Is it completely far-fetched to think that I could still do the half on May 29? I still really…
