low carb diet and energy?
Is there an optimal time to consume carbs prior to exercising? I'm eating a low carb diet and struggled to finish my 4-mile training run tonight--and have an 11-mile run scheduled for this weekend. I'm wondering about maybe adding a sweet potato at lunch or something like that? (it wouldn't throw me off plan) Would that be…

I just saw a post on PB and realized I need help with this. I was at Kroger yesterday perusing the PB aisle and couldn't figure out how to decide which was the best for me. the other issue is that it absolutely needs to taste good!! my favorite regular pb is Kroger brand or Jif. What do you like?

Indirect exercise question: chiggers!!
I'm having some lower back issues so switched from road running to trail walking this past week. One day, I was attacked by chiggers and didn't realize until a couple of days later. I am MISERABLE!

Candy Corn Cheesecake Mousse
I saw this recipe and thought it was so cute (I'm REALLY into fall stuff) and realized at the end that there were modifications to make it basically sugar free and low fat! I got so excited because I was needing to find something to take to a book club at a rehab center where a friend of mine is recovering from a stroke…

Hot Yoga Calorie Burn??? this is crazy
I just read on another site that this website http://www.bikram-yoga-noosa-australia.com/weight-loss-and-yoga.htm will help you calculate your calorie expenditure when doing hot yoga. There is NO way. It says that I burn over 1300 calories (in 90 minutes). While I know that I work hard, that can't be right. Right????

looking for pitch-in ideas
Hi! We frequently have work pitch-ins and many are now on weight watchers (doing the at-work program). I am looking for some ideas for pitch-ins. I can think of many things that are more "entree" related, but that is usually covered and I don't want to go to a lot of expense. Something that could be made ahead or put in…

Nike + troubleshooting
Hello! I hope someone can help me. I bought the Nike+ sensor and have been using it with my I-touch (my phone is the old version). Anyway, at first we had trouble getting the sensor to activate but that seems to be okay now. NOW, the problem is that it doesn't record my miles or pace...just total minutes. The last two…

Hot weather ideas??
This summer has been ridiculously hot and we've been struggling to keep the house cool. We rarely use the oven because of the heat. Unfortunately, our grill is broke :frown: and we can't afford to replace it until the "end of the season". Do you have any healthy stove top and/or microwave recipe ideas?? I'm trying to keep…

No Boundaries running program?
Has anyone done this? I participated last year and was able to run a 5k by the end of it (run/walk). I continued running and was slowly improving and then had a back injury and had to quit for 6 months. My daughter (age 17) and I are getting ready to start again Tuesday! Would love to hear of some other experiences/tips…
