Help me get motivated!
Hi gals, I'm not really focused on losing the rest of my weight right now (as I am more concerned with breastfeeding for the entire year), but I am trying to get back into a regular fitness routine. My daughter is four months and change, and I'm trying very hard to get back on a regular workout routine, but I'm STRUGGLING.…

Four months...loss of appetite?
Hi ladies. This isn't weight loss related at all, but I thought perhaps some of you could help me out. I've had a pretty great nursing relationship with my baby girl who just turned four months. In the past few days, however, she seems to not be eating so much. She's very distractable at the breast (which I understand is…

Breakfast ideas!
Hi gals, I'm new to this group (but excited to find it!) I'm nursing my three and a half month old, and I've got a goal of making it to a year. I went back to work a few weeks ago and was all set with my oatmeal every morning but (a) it's too difficult to eat on the fly in the morning and (b) I'm SO tired of eating…

I am inclined to order the underbelly ones (those are the kinds of work pants I bought and they work great), but as a first time mom, I don't know if…

Tempo Runs
Hi all, I ran my first half this year and am training to run a 10K in about a month. I've just started working on my speed, and my training plan calls for tempo runs. Can anyone explain how these work, or the best way to do them? My long distance pace is about 12 min/mile and I have worked my way down to close to an 11…

First-timer half marathon runner...
Hi all! I'm gearing up to run my first half marathon in a little bit less than a month. Anyone else doing the Chicago Rock N Roll OR have done it in the past and can offer some words of wisdom? Right now, I'm SO excited. Running has become such a big part of my life that I didn't realize was missing. It's the thing that…

Training for an 8K, anyone else?
I've just started training for the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle. I've done many 5Ks over the past few years, but an 8K will be my longest distance. Anyone else in the same boat? I am using the Hal Higdon training guide: http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51096/8K-Novice-Training-Program Lemme know, it'd be fun to have some more…
