Your invited to my pity party
So, I'm having a giant pity party today. I typically run 3 times/week. I have been ignoring a nagging hip issue for about a month now. It got bad enough that I decided to rest it following the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. So, today. it is 65 beautiful degrees in southwest Missouri and I thought I was doing much…

Has a running group helped you?
I ran my 5th 5k this morning, and while I am proud of the fact that I have PR'd every time (usually by a few seconds) I am disappointed that I can't seem to really increase my speed. I have only been running for a year and have never trained with anyone. I currently run 3 miles 3-4 times a week. There are a couple of…

Hey Fat Girl!
For the most part, runners are a community of people who are extremely supportive of one another. I think we have all experienced that feeling of pushing ourselves to the absolute limit and so we highly respect other people when we see them doing the same thing.

The old me would have never done that!
So, my husband and son were monopolizing the DVD player this morning when I was ready to " 30 day Shred" so I decided to make up a workout and do it on my own. I did this routine six times with no resting. 5 push-ups, 20 jumping jacks, 5 burpees, and 10 sets of bicycle crunches. Oh...my...goodness!! I honestly thought I…

Beans=sodium : (
I have been eating a lot of beans lately and I love them but my sodium is really taking a hit. I wonder how much of the sodium I am rinsing off if I am thoroughly rinsing them before using them? Anyone?

cool iphone app
This may not be news to anyone else since I am always a little behind the technological curve, but I just discovered a really cool app for my iphone. It is called Fooducate and it scans any barcode on any food item and then nutritionally evaluates the product. It even offers better alternatives when applicable. Pretty…

Weigh-in coming up. Looking for tips.

I am not interested in dehydrating or malnourishing myself, but I was wondering if there are any healthy tips for maximizing weight loss in a short period of time. I am running 3 times a week, attending a fitness class 2…

I'm drying up!
So, I am wondering if anyone else is having or has had this problem. I have been eating an extremely healthy diet for the last eight weeks. The wonderful result of this is that I feel great and have lost 24 lbs! (Some before I joined MFP) The not so wonderful result is that because of the drastic change in my fat intake my…
