Thanks ladies - I can do bananas, I can't stomach gatorade but I may try again. . . and the supplements seems easy enough to try so I'm going to! I get the cramps at night -- last week I felt my legs starting to knott up while I was falling asleep, but I didn't react quick enough and I could...

Last week, the day after I ran my long run, I got some pretty brutal leg cramps -- what can I do about this? I eat really healthy/clean and I believe leg cramps are generally the result of nutritional deficiencies -- but I don't know what I'm lacking . . . or how to figure it out. Help?

I ran 7.27 miles this morning on a route that had lots of hills and I didn't walk once!! My pace was 8.03" and it felt effortless! I kept thinking about Morningstar's post a month or so ago (maybe longer) -- whether I can do it or not is all about my state of mind. If someone had told me a...

Stacy I just realized that I forgot to answer your other question. I knew women who were doing the same program as I was doing with Cathy Savage that were not using the workouts -- the workouts were provided as part of the package but they only wanted the nutrition -- and Cathy and Jodi were...

When I did Cathy Savage's program they worked together, and I believe they still do. Cathy handles the training portion (although Jodi was a figure competitor herself and knows alot about that too) and Jodi handles the nutrition. They have more programs offered now than when I was a Savage...

I worked with Cathy Savage and Jodi Jones for a year and I found them both invaluable. I never intended to compete but they taught me how to eat and I will always be grateful. http://www.cathysavagefitness.com/ I was skeptical before I started because I wasn't sure they could actually...

Morningstar thanks so much for the link -- I've been looking for a book like this!

Hi! :) I saw your post in the what could you not do two years ago thread and I thought I would say Hi :) I started out with Jillian too and then found Cathe -- I love Cathe and owe a lot of my success to her as well -- Enjoy your run!! (I love to run)

Nan, I would have to add your entire post to my list as well -- the confidence is unreal. I've only done the 5K but I have signed up for 2 10Ks and another 5K and the half marathon in October and I have decided those same things -- at least I'm doing it!! Love it!!

Fun Factor Cardio: 1) Running 2) KPC 3) Rythmic Step Intensity & Fun: 1) Running 2) Insanity 3) KPC

I can run 5 miles without taking a walk break, 3.5 with hills ;) I can do 36 push ups on my toes before I can't push myself back up I can do 20 underhand pull ups before my form sucks and I drop to the ground I can happily and healthily exist with no meat in my diet what keeps me...

uh, I vote for rude. I don't understand the "surprise". . . was it a "surprise you get to spend $150 for dinner!" Under those circumstances I would also have expected them to pay for it and when they didn't would have been a tad miffed. I'm sorry to hear that was the start of your...

Strangely when I tried to upload this picture in my other post it wouldn't do it. To kind of sort of repeat myself. . . . I had a WONDERFUL and FABULOUS time at my first 5K!! My 11 year old went with me and it was way more than he expected (I think he thought 5K meant something much less...

So much fun!!! I'm back!!! Actually, I've been back for a while :) The 5K was fabulously fun! My 11 year old went with me and because he was with me I didn't run the entire race. He thought it would be much easier than it actually turned out to be for him so he walked alot. I ran anyway...

Having never run an organized event before I'm excited to go and run my very first 5K. It's totally recreational and fun so I think it will be a perfect "first" for me!! Not to mention it's a beautifully sunny day after record rains!!!! I will be back later to tell you how it went :eek...

the only time I wear make up to work out in is if I happened to wear some to work (which is rare, really) and didn't wash my face first. Just like in high school Janie, you do not need to fit in with the "cool" girls. I think you're pretty cool as you are, even though you don't wear make up...

I ran an extremely hilly 3 mile run this morning [no walk breaks! Yay for me!!] and will be doing an Insanity Max workout when I get home tonight :) I think that counts as a double :D

I love John Sanfords "Prey" Series; Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware Novels, and Fay Kellerman's Peter Decker Novels. Good Stuff. :) Wish I could go to the book sale!! What a wonderful thing your neighbor does!

Oh you can most definitely DO it! But prepare thyself! :) It's an all new level of insane. I'm in week 2 of month 2 . . . hour long workouts and even more sweat, if that's possible :D Have fun!

Ladies, Thank you. These past couple days without him in the house have been different, but not necessarily bad. I've done a little more crying but I do feel like I did the best thing I could for him, right now. It was a very hard realization that I could not meet his needs as his mother...
