    Trishfish...I'm not afraid...it's just none of their business. I never told people when I had miscarriages or other personal things...simply because I'm a more private person. Don't assume it's fear related when you really don't know me as a person. I think it's great you tell everyone...great for you...it's not how I chose to live my life

    karewpah got a reaction from bigethel in how do i get re-motivated and back on track???   
    Take each day one at a time. When I slip and fall off the wagon I choose 2 small things to do each and eeryday. Recently it was: Get my Vitamins in...and get 3 litres of Water in. And I committed to myself that I would do it for a week. By the end of the week, that was easy. I also noticed at the end of that week that I wasn't eating as many sweets. The next week I committed to getting to the gym 4 times...check, done! and by the end of the first week the scale had moved, end of the second week, again! And then I got a slight fill...and I am pretty sure I'm in my green zone...so it's all on me now. I've my weight doesn't move, it's because I'm not working the band.
    Go bag to the basics...get yourself hydrated..then walk for 30 minutes...when you feel the urge to eat, the do something else with your hands....like drink some Water or paint your nails.
    The bottom line is...you have to want it...no one else can want it for you. You have to find what motivates you.
    Wishing you renewed motivation

    Thanks, I found a fairly local store called Runners Edge that I plan to go to for some help with a new pair of running shoes. Hopefully this will help.

    I would recommend you are fitted professionally for shoes. Typically running shoes are a half size larger than what you normally wear. Also do a regular anti-fungal routine on your feet and shoes. Bandage the toe up, but take it a bit easy so you don't progress the injury further

    karewpah reacted to chefkelly in who cares if it is the easy way out?   
    I don't think this surgery is by any means easy or the easy way out but I don't understand why it enrages people who do so much? You're entitled to you opinion but I just can't understand why it makes people so mad when they have no idea what your story is or what you are going through. Also, when someone is in the news for losing with the surgery they get tons of hateful comments about how they are lazy and the surgery was too easy and they should have to struggle with trying to lose it without.
    People would be a lot better off if they would just let others live their lives and quit judging.

    My first race of the season is a 5k tomorrow followed by a 10k in April and May. Through the summer I'll do a zombie run, warrior dash and finally in Oct a half Marathon.
    Runners...what are you race goals this year?

    I ran a Frosty 5K a month ago, I have another cold 5K this coming Saturday. I have signed up and paid for 3 other 5K's. I also plan on doing a color run, and a mud run. I am toying with the idea of training for and running a 10K near the end of summer. Can't wait. Good luck with all your races!!!

    Already this year I have run 2 half marathons, a 10K, and the Miami-Key West Ragnar Relay. I only have one more race scheduled this year... the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon Relay where I'm running the first 2 legs of the relay and concurrently running the half marathon. I'm considering running the new Disneyland Avenger Half Marathon in November, but I want to get plastic surgery and that race would only work if the surgery is timed just right.
    Have fun in your races! My first 5K after surgery was in May 2013.

    Exactly what B52 said...go to a specialty store. They will have books there too. I use Runners World website and find it has a lot of good info.
    as for how you think you look...quiet the criticisms in your head. Other runners will look at at you and think...way to go...taking back your health. The people lapping you in their cars...they'll be jealous that they're not out there taking care of themselves.
