Kendra Forrest Run, Forrest, Run: Cross Training

Today on Hollaback Health I’m talking about how my operatic training has made me a better blogger but I’ve also been thinking about how it makes me a better runner. To follow up Wednesday’s post I thought I’d share some of those tidbits with you.

I hope that these tips will be helpful to any beginner runners out there. It's like Running for Crazies. You can check it out

Lynette S Bah humbug!

So I had a gain this week, a freaking gain! I have journaled everyday, and started running again, love this reward for all my hard work. I told my leader I was frustrated and I think she knows me a little too well... She asked if I was dipping into my activity points since I started running again, of course the answer was no. I am strangely the opposite of most people, in that I have the desire to eat less when i'm exercising. This is something I know about myself, but clearly I haven't drilled… Continue

Melissa Moore-Price Over did it a little yesterday.

Ok so yesterday I'm counting as an official "S -Day" As a special occasion it was mine and my Husbands Wedding Anniversary. During the day I didn't do to bad, for Breckfast I had a scrambled egg on a bagel with a light sprinkle of cheese. For lunch made a Tuna fish sandwich and 100 cal. pack of Almonds. One thing I noticed though is around 3 o'clock I wanted something. I usually have a snack around 3, just because. This time I noticed I was not hungry at all, but I wanted something really bad. S… Continue

Lisa Scratch Free

Well I made it through the first day...without a scratch ;) I journaled everything I ate and I did pretty well staying within my points range. I forgot how difficult it is to be accountable for everything that goes in your mouth. Once I get in the groove it doesn't seem so hard, but it's finding that groove that's difficult.

Lynn Looking Forward To 3 PM

Since that is when my work week will officially end. :)
And let me tell you ~ I am ready for the weekend!!!

I've been thinking of some ways to make smaller changes in my daily routine to help with adding in the healthier food, less take out, and more exercise. Part of my problem is that I always try to change everything all at once and then quit when I can't keep it up. Maybe changing a little bit here and there I will have more success.

Rachel Quick Update

Not much to report, but I just want to update real quick. Things with the pregnancy are going fine, I haven't been having too many symptoms. No nausea to report, which is so wonderful. Every couple days I do get mild cramps, but the doctor said that's normal.

I still haven't been exercising near as much as I should. I don't know if i should set weekly goals, or take it one day at a time, or what. I still have not been able to make myself do it more then 3 days a week or so and

Nubia Back to normal.

So... after a few days of bitchyness, I feel I can now go outside into the world and interact with society without wanting to stab anyone. *Phew* Today went well on the food side, we waited a little too long to have dinner b/c we had some chores to finish and man... did I eat that cheeseburger and potato like I was starving. I was testing a new recipe for this weekend's birthday party. My nephew is having a party where there'll be hotdogs, hamburgers, nachos, etc., etc. Since my sister and I are… Continue

Paula A good day

A good day. After work I hit the bike trail and really got it moving. I finished my ride earlier than I ever have. I felt great. But there was no wind today and that really helped. Most days it is fairly windy and it can really slow me down. Today was my husband's birthday so after my ride I stopped at Dairy Queen to get him a birthday cake. He loves ice cream and DQ is his favorite. Lucky for me there is a location at the park where I go ride my bike so I zoomed in before head

Beth M 7/30/10- Fantastic Friday??

Thanks everyone for any and all words of encouragement you've given...I like this community!

Tomorrow I'm working and those seem to be the hardest days for me. I do really, REALLY well when I'm at work...I eat breakfast before I go, eat a mid-morning snack and then have lunch. The problem is when I leave work....I am on my feet almost all day and then I feel starved when I finally sit down. I guess it all catches up to me.

But anyways, on to my goals for tomorrow!

Megan W Tired

Today, I did a C25K, I decided to do week 1 again. I may be in week 1 forever, but it's been quite a while since I ran because of the weather. I am getting really good at week 1, I feel like I'm going considerably faster. I'm excited to get on a treadmill in 2 weeks and see how fast I've been going. 15 minutes after that, I wanted to swim, so I walked the mile or so to the lake and swam for only about 5-10 minutes and then walked back. It took me a lot longer to walk there and back than I spe

RollerCoaster Is there more to life than food?!

I truly dream of a day when my life is full or more than food and weight related issues. I want to discover my passions that have been dormant for so long. I know I have so much to discover about myself which is...EXCITING. I feel it budding inside of me and am looking forward to getting to know myself. This is all an organic process and all I have to do is sit back and listen (which is excrutiatingly hard, I might add!). I wish it could happen faster that it does but there has to be some purpo… Continue

Lynette S Nothing profound to add...

Not a lot to talk about today! Trying to get used to doing everything on my iPad, we are most likely going to be selling my MacBook and getting an iMac (yah, we're Mac peeps, couldn't tell, could you) so that we have a desk top that the kid can use in a stationary place and not drop and break a lap top. So forgive me for any screwy typing you may see, especially if it makes no sense! Got up and did a 3.25 mile run, and have stayed on point today. Our lovely German friend did not bring us any sn… Continue

Willow McDougall Need a bit of motivation for the next two days

Came back from vacation monday night, it was a crap shoot, but I enjoyed it so much. The weather was really hot, I managed to get one run in on saturday morning and got heat stroke from it. I took it easy from exercise the other days. The food was fabulous, I way over did it in the dessert/snacks department. I gained 1.6 lbs in 3 days and now am working my a** of to get rid of it. I had great runs tuesday and wednesday, the scale says the extra weight is gone although I don't really trust my sca… Continue
