Chews/water/snacks WHILE running
My favorite time to run is after work during the week. I have run in “feels like 93 degree” weather and it is just going to get hotter in the summer months. I do good to go 2 miles out, but the way back is tough. I’ve read some people bring caffeine chews to boost them through a run. If you do that, do you have a favorite…

Running Shorts Recommendations
Please let me know the brand of your favorite running shorts. I hate the way Most of my shorts bunch up when I run. Even the 2 in 1 running shorts rise up. I have 1 pair of running shorts I like and I can’t find them anywhere. They are a 2 in 1 but the underneath shorts have a jersey material so they lay flat when I run .

fruits and veggies are free
I heard that with weight watchers fruit and veggies are free. I thought that meant I can eat all I want of fruit and veggies. My bigger dilemna is that I'm in the negative and haven't eaten dinner yet. I was going to go home and eat fruit and veggies. Is that a good plan?

Thanks MFP
I sat down to eat my lunch and 1/2 way through I started logging my intake. I had to throw away the rest. I was very surprised how quickly it added up. Todays me threw away 1/2 a flour tortilla and only ate 1 and 1/2. It was too late to do better. The rest of the day I will have to adjust to do damage controI! Thanks MFP

Now that's progress!
I started Monday and was 1092 OVER my calorie limit. Yesterday I was only 123 OVER my calorie limit. I will call that progress and keep trying. I have really maintained a good excercise routine over the years. Food is my hard part. This is a cool site, I think I can learn a lot.
