8 weeks until Race Day
I am running my 4th marathon the 1st weekend in April. Hoping to drop 5-10 lbs by then by watching my in take a little bit closer. Currently, I'm limiting to 2000 calories a day and not adding back for my exercise. I run 5 days a week- 40ish miles a week, strength training 2 days a week. My question is, on my long runs…

How do you respond?
So I started this journey at 167lbs. I'm 5'8" so I considered it not so heavy. I have lost 20 pounds but realized the journey is more than I thought. Now that my loss has been more noticeable I wonder how people respond to different comments about your weight. 1. How much more do you want to lose? My personal response has…

My morning pep talk....
I have been getting up at 4:30am to do a workout dvd in the morning. I have found myself giving myself pep talks to get out of bed. Of course, I started out excited to change and then excited to keep changing. As the results have slowed, my pep talks have changed into a list of reasons I don't want to slide back to where I…

Level 3
So I did my second day of Level 3. I had to take a couple break days because I pulled my back and even now, I am doing some easier movements than they are. I just didn't want to get too far off track. I am seeing changes and I love it. But now that I am only a little over a week from hitting 30 days, whats next? Did you…

Short but Impactful Video Work Outs
I am winding down the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It has been awesome and I have had some great results. So if I don't find anything, I will just repeat. But does any one have a work out video, 30 minutes or less that has given them great results. I do it first thing in the morning before any one is up, hence the reason…

Pulled my back....
Ice or Heat? I'm finding conflicting info online.

Please explain the macros to me....
I'm in a learning curve. I have gotten the calorie thing under fairly consistent control. Now, for the macros. Is my goal to stay under all of these things as well? Should I be on target with them? I am just starting to pay attention to these things and to be honest, don't really know what to do with them.

Day #2 of "Shredding"
Hello all! I just started using the 30 day shred. I am doing it first thing in the AM when I wake so at about 4am. Yesterday, being the first day, I tried to conquer it barefoot & braless. Thank goodness no one in my house was awake yet, but level one is no joke. I'll be sticking there for a while. Day #2, I wore shoes & a…

How often do you weigh yourself?
I personally do it every day. I think seeing the number makes me excited if it goes down and makes me feel like the hard work and will power are working and if it goes up I usually already know why, and it is a good kick in the butt. Just wondering how other people do it. I know some are on a journey that isn't about the…

Help me be inspired.
I am stressed today, and of course, the girl scout cookies I ordered before this weight loss thing got real showed up. I need some inspiration!

Just for a laugh :)
Yesterday, I ran a mile. I should tell you, I hate to run, so much I can't describe. It is a constant joke that if you see me running, you better follow me because something is going on. But my son wants to join track next year, and I wanted some exercise, and lets face it, I would do anything for the kid. So we went to…
