Posterior Tibial Tendonitis???? Please no!
Okay, so I may have to put a halt on my running for a while. I started feeling a pain in my ankles on Tuesday during Insanity. Monday was the day I increased my running time with C25K and also the first day of running in my new shoes. Anyways, they hurt on the inside part between the ankle and heel. It kind of goes up from…

NYC parking
My husband and I are planning a trip to NYC from southern Maryland next weekend. Does anyone have any tips on parking garages? We would like to park outside the city if possible so we don't have to fight traffic and we'll just walk or take a cab or subway around town once we're there. Our hotel is in Lower Manhattan so…

Calories in vs. Calories out? Not that easy!!
Saw this on Jamie Eason's Facebook page this morning and couldn't agree more!! "The most annoying thing I hear is when people attempt to simplify nutrition with the phrase, 'It's as simple as, calories in versus calories out!' NO IT'S NOT!!! You cannot eat cheesecake all day and just because its under your daily calorie…

Calories Burned
I've been logging my Insanity workouts as "aerobic - high impact" because I feel like that is the closest description in MFP. I don't have my HRM yet so I can't enter a more accurate workout description with calories burned. (It'll be here next week though! yay! lol) Anyways, I found this website and entered all of my info…

Blood Pressure Meds and Calorie Burn
I am currently taking Tenormin (high blood pressure medication) in the lowest dosage. It's a beta blocker and lowers my heart rate to lower my blood pressure. It runs in the family apparently because I eat healthy, exercise regularly, don't drink (besides the occasional glass of red wine), and am not on birth control.…

IA Military Orders = STUPID!!
My husband and I transferred to the East Coast last October and he started his 3 year shore duty tour (no deployments = yay!!). Well, we just found out yesterday that he is 99.9% probably going to have to go on a 10 month IA deployment to an Afghanistan prison and work as a guard there. I am in SHOCK!! He is an alternate…

INSANITY!!!
My husband and I started Insanity yesterday. Well, it was just the fit test so today is our first day of the actual workouts. Not that the fit test wasn't a workout though. Haha!! My back is killing me today so I don't know if all that jumping around did it or what, but sheesh. Something I need to remember with these…

Implants and Chest Exercies
Okay, so I'm sure I shouldn't worry about this and I'm sure I'll get criticized by some because I have breast implants (although I don't care), but do any other women have breast implants and worry about doing chest exercises? I don't want my chest to look weird like a lot of fitness competitors. When I do bench press and…

Caffeine
I keep seeing people saying to limit or eliminate caffeine in your diet to lose weight. I honestly do not understand the concept behind this. I have 2 cups every morning with a little sugar free powdered creamer. It does not make me hungry as some suggest. It actually helps suppress my appetite a bit. I eat 5-6 meals a day…
