    Those of you who have a heart rate monitor

    I wouldn't bother with any HRM that doesn't come with a chest strap. HRM's are so awesome, I don't do a workout without it!!! The chest strap counts every beat so you can calculate calories burned, % from fat, average HR, Max HR, it's great! And you don't have to worry about it during your...

    My Clean Eating progress report for anyone else attempting this.

    Great Job!!! You have every right to feel excited!!! The one thing I have noticed...when I eat something unclean, my next workout suffers. I will feel it the next time I run. THAT is extremely motivating to stay on track and keep eating clean. Also, it makes me feel so much better about...

    Hi There! You asked about my running in the other thread... It is going very well! Thank you for asking. About a month ago, I offically started training for the Boston Marathon, which I am extremely excited about. Also, the local running store asked me to be a coach for their marathon...

    I could use some cheering up :(

    Just remember that being in a relationship isn't the means to happiness. If it were, you would have been happy with the guy who won't come get his couch! Also remeber that being with the right guy isn't a means to happiness. If you keep waiting for certain circumstances before you are...

    I could use some cheering up :(

    Being alone and single is way better than hooking up with a crappy guy. Only thing worse than hooking up with a crappy guy is starting a family with a crappy guy. Your future children deserve much better than to be born into a crappy relationship. Be patient. Enjoy today. Caring for a...

    feels so good!

    I didn't drink a drop but still had a hang over!!! It was either the lightly salted nuts or the homemade banana bread (simple carbs in the form of bananas and applesauce). The lowfat egg nog toast (non alcohol) is most likely the culprit. Likely a combo of the 3 had me feeling like I had been...

    meniscus tear surgey? yay or nay?

    A great friend of mine had surgery on his tear. Surgery was a breeze (2 tiny snips about the size of your pinky nail). I think he was back to normal after 4 weeks. He had to wait a few days post surgery before starting his PT.

    Clean Eating Magazine

    Would you recommend this magaine to those who hate to cook? I can't stand cooking and baking but always welcome new ideas. Is it more geared towards those who love be in the kitchen? Maybe I should try to enjoy cooking.... Maybe this should be a New Year's Resolution...

    Is ANYONE staying on track....

    Nancy...yes! I do use mental imagery a bit but I would like to be as skilled as you. When I think of that stuff, I think of it as **poison** and that seems to help keep my subconcious from telling my concious that I want it. I use mental imagery so much in my training, I will make more...

    Is ANYONE staying on track....

    Just before Halloween, I decided I was going to make it straight through New Year's without eating in a manner that made me feel like crap! I avoided every speck of Hallowen candy with great success! Thanksgiving came and I did have some pumpkin pie but no over indulging. Christmas is here...

    Eating clean suggestions... and holiday mistakes!!!!

    Diet is 85% of it. If you were to put more of your energy into any of the 3, I'd spend more time and effort cleaning up the diet and focus on making it consistant. Let me also add, I am not an advocate of picking 1 out of the basket and ditching the cardio an weights. All 3 is the best trio...

    Mirena birth control

    Okay, so no acne from the hormones or anything like that? Have ANY of you ladies gained any weight with this thing? One more question...last night i was thinking...this thing is said to be 99.9% accurate. WHAT IF...the 0.1% happens and I manage to conceive. Is the baby going to have...

    Mirena birth control

    What about after 5 years...is removal expensive? It doesn't look like my insurance covers it (medical insurance SUCKS) but I am still considering it. Now I am more curious about what to expect after 5 years...removal and/or replacement.

    Imafitnessfreak?

    Why wait until next week to get your eating back on track? Why not this minute? You could even make a compromise....deviate but vow **no sugar**. My husband does hours and hours of research on distance training. He helps compose my training plans and teaches me everything. I'd love to...

    So can you tell it is there? Did your insurance over it? Any "removal thread" visible?
