Friday's "A HA!" moment. (not a good one)
*This is really just a rant of random thoughts I have had so far today* I am so done with being lazy, overweight, and half-assing things. I really need to find my motivation and commitment. I am not happy with the lack of progress I have managed not to make this year. So, I have signed up for my first half marathon in…

Strength Training and Running
Happy Monday Morning Y'all! I have a quick question for you this morning. Those of you training for either a half or full, what is your strength training routine?

Weigh-In Days
Good Morning/Afternoon MFPers, I have a quick question. This morning I have officially lost 20lbs (woot, woot) and my weekly weigh in day is on Wednesdays.

Food and expanding waistline
Hey guys, I know this could possibly be a little TMI depending on your sensitivity to the human body. The last week I have noticed that as soon as I eat something, it could be literally anything, I immediately become bloated and gassy (from both ends) and I have no clue what is going on. Should I do a "cleanse" because…

Strength Training for Runners
So, I ran a 10k recently in the Run Disney series and I am getting ready to begin training for my first half marathon. I know strength training is important to incorporate into my runs and I was wondering if anyone had a good strength training/circuit training program they use or that they can recommend. I am kind of at a…

Sayonara, scale! At least for a while.
Ok, so I have been having a really hard time getting back on this wagon in the weight loss equivelent of the Oregon Trail and I am determined to not let it beat me this time. I have been thinking what is causing me to give up so quickly and I have determined it is the number on the scale. Now, we all know the scale is just…

A week off is not the end of the world.
Happy Hump Day to Y'all! I have been on weight watchers for a month now and have had some pretty significant sucess. I am not sure how much of that is the program alone or the fact I am cross checking with MFP, but I will totally take what I can get. This past week and a half has been the WORST and I need to just keep…
