May 29 MFP Runner's Club
Good morning, I am so happy, although my daughter had me up again last night, I still got out of bed for my run. I feel great cuz I ran my 5 miles 2 minutes faster than normal. Yeah!! I added a few sprints which will help me increase my speed in the long run. Hope you all get the chance to run today. Mireille

May 26 MFP Runner's Club
Good morning, Well, I had my alarm set for 5am this morning to run but was unable to get up.:ohwell: I was up from 2-4am for a number a different reason (all related to my girls) and I was too beat to get out of bed. Now I'm kicking myself in the butt cuz I would have felt so much better if I would have just had gone.…

Wow!
Okay, the last 18 months(before MFP), shopping was a nightmare. I was wearing a size 14 but should really have been wearing 16's. I remember shopping for a dress in a particular store for a wedding and leaving in tears because I could not find anything that would fit me. It was a really horrible experience and I really…

Good morning, Got out for a 7.5k this morning. I felt so happy and just glad to be alive this morning. I love my morning runs!! Does anybody else have little issue with their sciatic nerve? My started acting up at yesterdays run but it's better now that I ran again. It always feels better once I've run again. It's weird.…

Good morning, Sun is shinning this morning! Yeah!! I got out and ran my 7k this morning. I saw a scary looking fox, he looked very mange. I struggle a little in the beginning but was okay afterwards. My sciatic nerve did not bother me so I'm hoping it's gone for a little while. How is everyone else doing? Mireille

May 14 MFP runners club
Good morning! I hit the sack at 7:30pm last night (just to sleep), I was dead tired. I think it's due to my TOM. So needless to say, after a good nights sleep, I was up at 5am this morning getting ready for my run. I felt so good and refreshed. I actually ran my usual morning distance and I ran it 5 minutes faster than…

My fellow joggers...
Well, happy mother's day to all the moms.:flowerforyou: Mine has been great so far. I was able to get out and run today. I have to say, I extended my route by about 1.5 miles and holy cow, it was so hard. I want to run at least 6.2 miles on Sunday's which is the equivalent of 10k and it took me forever! I felt good…

Jogging...
I'm so excited because I ran 6 miles today with the kids in the stroller this morning (90lbs including 2 kids and stroller). There were a ton of hills and it was awesome. I burnt 560cals in exactly 60 minutes!! The kids are being so good, they came out of the stroller saying how much fun they had. I know I'm running a…

Fiddleheads...
mmmm.... I just had fiddleheads for the 1st time. They are hard to explain what they look like (google them) but they taste a bit like asparagus and broccoli!! Very yummy! Has anyone ever tried them?

I'm back to normal...
wow, that was a ruff 3 days.:ohwell: I feel so good today. I guess I've been on the up for so long that it was bound to happen at some point. lol I went running this morning, put my daughter and the young boy I baby-sit in my double stroller and just ran. I ran 5 miles in 54 minutes which isn't too bad considering I…

hard time this week...
I'm having such a difficult time controlling myself when it comes to food this week. I just want to eat everything in site. I binged on Monday (not proud of) and yesterday and today are really difficult. I'm trying but it seems to be stronger than me. I think part of it is because my best friend (who is always there to…

ugh!
It pouring rain outside, my kids kept me up half the night and I already want to eat. :grumble: :yawn: What is it with rainy days!! I feel grumpy and a little out of control. I keep telling myself that my cheat day is Friday and I'm hoping I will get through it. Anybody else feeling like I do this morning?

Hot Yoga
Oh my God!! I did my very first class today and hot yoga is no joke. I couldn't believe how hard it was and how intense it can be. I wore my HRM and I burnt 476cal in 90minutes!! What an amazing class. I just wish the class weren't so expensive. I call it "rich" people exercise. lol Have a great night! :flowerforyou:

thinking out loud..
It amazes me how I burn less calories now, 23lbs lighter ,doing the same cardio. For example, 2 months ago I was burning about 490 calories when doing Turbo Jam cardio mix 3. This morning I burnt 304 calories doing the same dvd. That's almost a 200 calorie difference. As banks posted in a previous HRM thread, I'm also…

People are starting to notice...
that I've lost weight. Someone asked me yesterday what kind of cream I used to make my butt shrink the way it did. I love it!! I tell everybody that I'm counting calories and exercising. They all roll their eyes because people assume that counting calories is so hard but it really isn't. I explain that MFP does all the…

feeling fat
well, I haven't felt this way since starting my new lifestyle change. I had a stomach bug over the weekend that took me right out and this week I've been suffering with cramps, bloating and um, gas. I finally went to the doctor today and he game some pills that should eliviate the pain. I haven't slept due to this problem…

Annoyed..
The other day I went to Costco and as I was leaving I saw a family having their lunch. I'm assuming it was a grand-mother, daughter and maybe a 7 or 8 month old little girl. I don't normally judge people but these 2 adult women were very obese. My issue is that they were feeding this beautiful little baby girl french fries…

Last week I...
had a couple of bad days. I have been letting my emotions dictate my cheat days (not good) and because of that, I ended up with 2 cheat days last week. Thankfully I still lost 1/2 a pound. I used to think that I didn't deserve one until I was closer to my goal. Then about 4 weeks in, I had a bad day (due to my emotions)…

Thank goodness for your...
successes. I've been feeling a little off today, not sure why. Having another one of those days when I just want to eat. What has been getting me through today are the 'toot, toots". It is so comforting and motivating when I read how people are losing weight and being successful. Keep posting cuz it really gets me through…

It's only 9am...

It doesn't help that it is raining outside and very dark and gloomy. Gotta stay strong and maybe we'll put our rubber boots on and head out anyway cuz…

Children's exercise video
Does anyone know of good exercise video for small children 2-5 year old? My daughters loves to exercise with me but get frustrated when they can't do the moves. I'd love to find something fun for them to do while I'm on the elliptical. I've seen a bunch on the Internet but none of them have reviews and I don't want to…

For those with heart rate monitors
Hi everyone, I just wanted to remind people to update their HRM as they lose weight. I hadn't update mine and it does make a difference in how many calories you burn (at least it did for me). I wouldn't worry about it for a lbs or 2 but mine had a difference of 10lbs. The smaller I get the harder I have to work to burn…

The tongue can be your worst enemy...
Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about. If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job. If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.. If you keep saying you can't stand your car,…
