He does have a program for 5K training that is like the C25K program. I actually like his program better because you start out and stick with the intervals. Unlike the C25K that will have you running 3 miles. I know I can never do that. I wish I would have known that when I was starting.
I think I will check his program out, and try to get back into running more regularly. I felt the same way about c25k, and not until I could hardly walk after doing 2.5 miles straight did I realize I needed the walk breaks.
Have a wonderful trip!!
Morning all! Back to "normal" March weather for us today, which means 40 degree temps and sprinkling rain.
Oh well.... it was nice to have June weather in March while it lasted!
P
I'm freezing!!! I want summer back!!! I guess I'll get used to this seasonable weather thing again, but boy have I been spoiled this year. Hope all is well in your busy life.
I got up this morning and started in on exercise - my last week 3 C25K workout! Wednesday morning, assuming the weather holds, it'll start getting interesting with week 4. It was beautiful out this morning but very windy - can I count that for strength?
I just reattained goal a few weeks ago and am back in maintenance. WW has worked so well for me; I think part of the reason is that I thrive on keeping count of things to stay on a plan, so PointsPlus has been just great. I'm the liaison for our meeting at work, so I'm pretty involved in the whole thing - holler if you have questions, either here or by PM, and I'm happy to try and help out!

Nice work with the c25k program, and a huge congratulations on reachin goal!!!
That is fabulous!!!
Good morning my fellow BL's! I am back after the weekend away. Ok, I didn't go anywhere, I just didn't have time to get online. Why? It was my birthday! I am officially OLD!!! Well, older anyways.
I did my 5K, Run for the Rescues (for the SPCA) on Saturday morning, my actual birthday, what a way to start it all off. I didn't do well, the course was ruff! Um, dog reference? It was all hills, and I am not exegerating!
Anyways....catching up!
I am hoping to get in some workouts at home. But Tuesday night I am going to go see DAUGHTRY!!!
With running home to take care of the dogs and cats, and then up to the venue, I am hoping to at least eat something not so bad for me!
Happy Belated Birthday!! I guess I'm showing my age when I first thought, Roger Daultry from the WHO???? How exciting, but wikipedia helped me out. Have a great time tomorrow!!
Is this the "fish extender?" Did you explain what this is yet and I missed it? If not, what is this? Thanks!
Jill
The fish extender sounds like a lot of fun.
QOTD: My first thought was chocolate chip cookies! But reading everybody's answers got me thinking I should come up with something dinner-y. Unfortunately, I can't!
Have a super week!
Chocolate chip cookies was my first thought too, followed closely by a margarita to go with someone's mexican.
I think cookies might lose something without the butter, and they are a treat where moderation comes in handy.
Hi Everyone!
I have been having trouble getting the Dis to open on my computer. I was able to log in for a few minutes earlier, but that was in between dinner and church. Church was a disaster. It has nothing to do with the religious part of it. My friend was a jerk to me. I don't understand why she thinks she has the right to insult me and what's more, I don't understand why I continue to call her my friend.
I'm going to post the QOTD for tomorrow now and then try to reply to all of you. Please do not be offended if I do not. It just means I am having computer difficulties. (Can you tell I'm feeling really insecure right now?
)
QOTD for Monday, 3/26: I am up for a challenge. What recipe would you like to see made into a healthier version? My goal is to PM you a recipe by Thursday.
Our "Fish Friday" mean this past week was GF eggplant parmesean. My dad cooked it. He cut the eggplant into thin slices and coated them in GF baking mix. For mine, he then coated them in egg substitute and then GF bread crumbs. We then fried them in canola oil and drained them. He layered the breaded eggplant with canned sauce and cheese and baked it. We served it with a side of corn pasta. There has to be a healthier way to make the meal.
Sorry about your friend.
You are doing such a nice job as coach this week, CC. So full of helpful suggestions. I had the roasted tuscan vegies at Bertuccis' recently and they had eggplant in it also, not breaded, they were all roasted with olive oil, and it was very good.
Id like to suggest the three-bite rule. You eat 3 bites of a dessert and then you are done. As I understand it, further amounts of the dessert are unnecessary for sweet tooth satisfaction.
Ah, it's 3 bites not 3 servings. No wonder I haven't lost all this weight yet.
Joking aside, that is a really good rule to follow. I'll try to remember this on Easter. I long time ago at a ww meeting the other dessert trick they taught us was when it was time for your favorite party food, whatever it was, don't stand with a plate and talk while you are eating, but find a spot to sit down, and slowly eat it, and enjoy every bite. If you do that, you have a better memory of eating it, rather than scoffing it down while your chatting with someone.
I1. I have made out my menu plans for the week-making sure to incorporate the chinese meal I'm having on saturday with 2 girlfriends (we trained as nurses together in 1984, lived in the nurses home which was compulsory, and have been friends ever since
) This is our "Christmas" dinner which has sometimes happened as late as July
2. Aiming to arrive 20 minutes early to pick my youngest up from school so that I get a short walk in first (asthma still playing up a bit so this is the best I can do at the minute)
3. Read over all my ww stuff from last time and have commited to pointing and measuring foods accurately again.
4. Using myfitnesspal to track (thanks for this Pamela)
5. When in doubt -drink(water of course)
Don't worry, I was in nursing school in 1984 too. Can't believe I graduated high school 30 years ago!
I love your plan, especially #5!
Good evening everyone!!
Well, I did have a dinner plan, but not a day time plan, and ended up snacking too much and not eating a real breakfast or lunch, but dinner was healthy and full of vegies, and tomorrow is a new day. I did get a compliment from my brother yesterday, that I was looking skinny. I'm far from skinny, but I did say thank you and accepted the compliment. I'm down 8 pounds this year, and I can feel it in my jeans and scrubs. I need to remember that every day, and remember how good it feels and only eat when i am hungry. Remember the genie and he will grant my wish, right.
Have a nice evening!!!
Well, except for the day we went to the Renaissance Festival. I shared a giant turkey leg with DS, enjoyed some mead, and had a sweet bread! But so worth it, had a blast! In other news, I am very frustrated with my scale! I know it isn't anything unusual to get stuck at a plateau, but I thought I would have at least lost some weight first 
So frustrated! Anyway, just a little vent. Well, gotta get some weights in tonight. See you all a bit later this week!
Nothing like going out of the office for a few days to make people feel like they really need you.
