Crystal Light, Good or Evil?
I managed to give up my sweet tea and cokes but I have replaced them with Crystal Light lemonade. I do manage to drink plain water a couple of times a day but the majority of my liquid intake is Crystal Light. I have heard that artificial sweeteners can be bad if you are trying to lose weight. It's hard drinking water. I…

Princess Half- Marathon at Disney?
Has anyone ran the Princess half- marathon at Disney World? I've only done two 5ks and I try to run at least 6 miles a week. Am I crazy for thinking that it may be doable? It's at the end of our Mardi Gras holidays so I will have the week off before the run. I'm just scared that I may be getting way over my head too soon.…

What do you do to calm your nerves (excitement) before a rac
Does anyone else get so excited the night before a race? I am running my second 5k tomorrow in honor of 9-11 and I am so wired that I don't think I will get any sleep tonight. I will be running through the Bankhead tunnel under the Mobile River. I'm kind of nervous because the tunnel is narrow and it's within the first…

Uggh! The Nike + GPS App is driving me crazy!
I love using this app to log my runs. I have been trying to sync it with FB and Twitter but it won't do anything. The screen stays blank and the whirly thing whirls like it's trying to load. Is anyone else having trouble posting your runs?

By 3:35 in the afternoon I am emotionally, physically, and mentally drained and would rather chill than workout.…

Is gluten free worth it?
Has anyone ever tried a gluten free diet? I did it for a week and it was so hard because just about everything has gluten in it. :grumble: I don't think I did it long enough to see if I felt any different. :ohwell: I've noticed that a lot of athletes are now going gluten free. Just curious. Jen

Uggh! Keep hitting plateaus!
I started at 157.5 pounds and I am now down to 139.4. I am 5'7 and 42 years old. I haven't lost a large amount of weight in over a month. I am under my calorie goal most of the time, even though I don't always make the healthiest choices. I try to do a bootcamp twice a week and on other days I run, walk, or swim. Is my…

Are the Cadbury Eggs calling your name too?
I love candy! All kinds of candy, but especially Easter candy. I have been sooooooo good staying away from the candy but it is a daily struggle staying away from those blasted Cadbury creme eggs! I am trying to stay out of the stores until Easter is over. Anyone else tempted during this holiday?
