Arbonne Protein
I am obsessed and in love with Arbonne's chocolate and vanilla protein mix. I love that it is vegan too. Does anyone else use it? What is your favorite way to drink it? I like the chocolate just with water. The vanilla I love to use with fruit in a protein smoothie!

Runners - rest days?
How often do you take rest days? I know it is important to take at least 1 a week. Is there a particular way to schedule it to help prevent injury? I am relatively new to running and have been upping my runs mileage and would love to avoid injury!

First time posting pictures!
Well here goes nothing. I have logged in every day since the start of 2012. I have been working my butt off. I have decided that numbers no longer matter. I want to be fit, healthy and strong, regardless of the number on the scale! I had a NSV today too! I did five pull-ups without cheating! Now to master them so I don't…

2 NVS's
I am so excited that in the past two days I have had two awesome NSV's. 1) My size 4 jeans that once were too snug, are now too big! 2) I completed a full bodyrock.tv workout, doing the max amount of reps possible! Since adding bodyrock workouts to my running routine I can now do push ups without cheating (huge plus!),…

Meal planning
One of my goals for the new year is to plan and organize healthy meals, with left overs so I can take them to work with me! I have been browsing the food network website but I was wondering if you all had any suggestions that are family friendly, as the rest of my family does not count calories and such like me. Thanks!

Gym Buddy Challenge
Hey there! I am looking to start a small challenge (about 10 or so people, I'm sorry more than that seems like too much to keep track of) that will run on the "buddy system" for their workouts. I would love a "gym buddy" but none of my friends go to the gym! I love accountability and I know some of you must be looking for…

First notable NSV
Today I made the choice to ditch the elevator at the library at school. I walked up 23 flights of stairs with my backpack without giving up! With an old knee injury doing that amount of stairs, without pain, with weight on my back, is a huge accomplishment! I had to take three small breaks, but I only stopped for 30…

On the go?
Being a student and working a lot, I often am in a pinch and stuck eating "on the go". I don't have access to a microwave or anything while at school so bringing left overs from dinner or anything like that isn't possible. Does anyone have any tips on how to make eating on the go easier and healthier? I do my best to make…

Horseback Riding
Hello there! Just wondering how many people on here horseback ride as a form of exercise. I have been riding since age 5 and ride about 5x a week. I alternate between riding hunt seat and western, due to a knee injury that prevents me from riding hunt seat all of the time. How do you track this as exercise in your journal?…
