Online Vitamins
I am looking to order some vitamins online, in the hopes of saving some money. I would like some suggestions for sites to check out, OR avoid. I am hoping to get a good deal but will not accept a sub par product to do so. PS I'm not looking for anything fancy, a good multi vitamin, fish oil, vitamin D ect.

Could you stop if you had too?
I have been thinking about this quite a bit over the last few months. I work out 6 days a week for about an hour every day depending on what I am working on. A few months ago I hurt my foot so I had to take some time off of running to let my foot heal. It made me feel like I was going to lose my mind. To counteract that I…

BMI for athletic build
First of all I am not a fan of BMI charts, I had a Dr look at her chart and inform me I needed to lose about 10lbs. Not taking into account my 19% body fat (done with calipers) or my resting heart rate or 48, or anything else about my health or life style just based on a chart that she tried to fit me into. However, rant…

Favorite High calorie snack?
I am training for a half marathon, as my runs get longer my calories burned is getting pretty high (almost 2000 this past weekend after a long run wearing my hrm.) So Im wondering what do you eat when you want to put back a lot of calories in a smart way? My favorite is peanut butter with apple slices.

Big NSV this morning

I also don't really know how much weight I want to lose since I am currently in better shape and much smaller than I have ever been. So I had my boss recheck my body fat with calipers and ( drum…

I have never posted these pictures before but reading everyone else s stories has inspired me to be brave.
