Is it possible too cool down too fast??
I know it sounds funny, but this is not the first time this has happened to me. Today I walked almost 14 miles training for the Avon Walk. It was pretty warm here in Chicago today. I made sure I stayed hydrated, stretched, etc. When I got home, I sat down to rest and log my walk and all of a sudden I started sneezing like…

WTF, Who Says That?!?!?!?!?
On our one rare night out.... Me: What do you want to do? Him: Drink. Me: I want to play pool. Him: Ok. Find out where we can play pool and drink. Make sure there's a lot of girls. Me: WTF, What does that matter? Him: I don't want to go to a place where I have to look at a bunch of guys playing pool. As if I'm not already…

HRM All Day?
Does anyone out there wear their HRM all day? I usually just wear it when I'm working out so I can get a more accurate calorie count than the MFP numbers. But I wondered if anyone wore theirs all day. I mean, if we can log in "Doing Dishes" and such, why not just keep it on all day to see what you've burned in total for…

Need INSANITY friends!!!!
I am on Day 3 of INSANITY and loving it, but looking for others also starting out for motivation. I started on here 1 1/2 years ago, lost 30 lbs and gained 20 back. I lost it by training for a walk, but that doesn't seem to motivate me as much for the moment. So, I'm trying INSANITY. It is definitely INSANE!!!

Red Dye 40
Anyone follow the eliminate Red Dye 40 from their or their children's diets? I've always heard random things, but two thigs occured to me today: 1. I got a headache after I drank my Hawaiian Punch water flavoring today, and 2. My son is currently being tested for ADHD and ODD and maybe this is one of the factors I briefly…

I know why I haven't been able to do it this time...
I did 6 months of training last year for the 2-Day Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I was very dedicated and didn't miss a beat when it came to healthy eating and exercising. BUT, when I finished the walk in June, I kind of just stopped. So this year, I'm trying to get my training going but just don't feel it. Today as I…

Recent accomplishments as of 01/24/11
Good morning everyone!!!! Last week I was really sick with a bad cold. I made decent food choices, but knew I needed to eat to get my strength back. I also worked out only one day and paid for it by the end of the day with a fever. I thought for sure that I would not have any loss in weight. So, I get up Sunday morning,…

Working Out with a Headache
So I woke up with a headache this morning. I made sure to eat breakfast right away and take some Ibuprofen (I get occassional migraines :mad: ) I'm going to workout anyway to see if it goes away. I hate to miss a workout and mess up my training. Today is a Cardio day, so I'm going to try just using the recumbent bike to…

I just wanted to share some of my favorite snacks with everyone. Besides the snacks we already know about (fruit, peanuts, etc) I thought I'd try some of these Fit & Active items I kept seeing at the store. Here are some of my favorites that I wanted to share: S'Mores Drizzled Mini Crisps (MY favorite so far) Cheddar Rice…

Anyone walking the Chicago Avon Walk for Breast Cancer?
I just registered yesterday and started my training today. If anyone else is walking I'd love to keep in contact so we can motivate each other to train. It's great excercise and for a great cause!! :flowerforyou:

12/10/10 Biggest Loser Finale - 1 Day Challenge
Last week I walked on the treadmill during the Biggest Loser. I barely even noticed the time fly by as I walked/jogged on the treadmill. Although I didn't put up a marathon distance like the contestants did, I walked/jogged 4.58 miles and burned 470 calories in 83 minutes (the show was DVR'd so I skipped commercials).…

Me - 1 Temptation - 0
We had our department Christmas party today. We love our food, so I declined to participate this year knowing the deliciously bad selection of food that would be available. While they all went to the cafeteria, I sat at my desk and had my lunch. Then, as usual, they brought all of the leftovers and laid them out on the…

My First Cheat Meal: A Breakthrough, not a Breakdown
So, I had my first cheat meal. I was not going to get home until around 7:00pm and did not want to have to cook and wind up eating later than it already was. So, I looked up McDonald's chicken meals in an attempt to try and plan a meal. After a few minutes I decided, there really wasn't anything that McDonald's had to…

Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right.
This is the first Biggest Loser season that I have watched. I've watched bits and pieces of episodes in the past, but never really got into it. It has been extremely motivating to see the support all of the contestants have. I watch the show and use it as my own personal trainer. Obviously, I can't have Jillian or Bob and…

Thanks for not giving a damn >:-/
So I'm watching the Bears game and my boyfriend decides to order a big *kitten* pizza for him and the kids. Wow, thanks foe the torture. I am now watching the game in my bedroom. I know this mission is mine and it is up to me to stick to this, but i just feel that was not cool. Talk about a test of will power. WTF?!?!?!

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails
Whenever I start to try to be healthier, it seems like there is always something that comes up that easily sways me. Or better said, that I ALLOW to sway me from my goal. I quit smoking about two years ago and got the expected weight gain. Then, other obstacles arose in my life and I resorted to eating and/or sleeping to…
