Running makes me nauseous
So, last December I accidentally signed up for a 12mile run thinking it was a 12K. The date of the run is in Sept, so I started a 14 week training program back in June. The distances have been steadily increasing, and I am handling it well but a few of the longer runs(6+ miles) and most recently my 8 mile run on Friday, I…

Tried any new foods on your health journey?
I am still sometimes amazed at just how many foods that in the past would have never tried, based on it's look, smell and "if it's good for ya, it can't taste good" immature theory. Since accepting a healthy lifestyle I'm always looking for other sources of much needed protein, healthy fats and good carbs. Strangely enough…

Nutribullet?
Looking for opinions on this product and/or similiar blender/mixer machines. I am making a protein shake almost everyday now but hate having to drag out my full size blender, pour the contents into a cup and then end up having to wash out the blender and the cup. I like the price of the smaller "blend" in the cup models,…

Group exercises
Hey there! Due to my schedule, I'm pretty limited to what group exercises I can take. So far I've tried: 1. SPINNING. I get a good burn and will do it once in a while, but since my favorite instructor left, I don't find it as fun anymore. 2. BODY ATTACK(Les Mills). I ALWAYS look forward to my occasional monday off so I can…

Warrior Dash MD Sat 5/19/12
So, I'm signed up and stoked to run my first Warrior Dash in Mechanicsville MD next week! But I do have a question or two for those who participated in the past: -How bad should I expect to traffic be? What about parking?

Read dem Labels Folks!
I'm a label reader, have been since I started this journey in 2010. But I'm still surprised by some of the things that one would think is healthy or even is marked as healthy: "low fat" "low calorie" or "heart healthy". They can be confusing AND/or misleading! Take today for instance- I had to stop and get soft tortillas…
