Ok so yesterday was the first time I couldn't complete an exercise. I was doing week 10 day 2 of couch to 10k and I was supposed to run 15 mins walk 1 min repeat three times. I could not get myself to do the last 15 min run. I even tried taking a longer walking break and still couldn't do it. I'm trying again tomorrow evening but if I can't do it should I repeat the previous week or just keep trying?

I just read about this app in my women's health magazine so after you recommended it too I downloaded it. I'm gonna try it out next weekend when I run outdoors. During the week I stick to the treadmill at the gym since I'm a stay at home mom and my kid can play in the kids club while I workout.

Have you looked at the C210K program? I decided to download that one and I'm gonna go for it. I'm only on week 7 day 1 of the 5k so I still have a lot of work to do.

I wish. I never learned how. There is an adult swim class starting on the 20th and I've been debating signing up. I'm too self conscious.

Spartacus for sure. For women I think Blake Lively has an amazing body. I'm only 4'11 so that's never going to happen for me.

Fiddleman,I have the same problem. It helps me to watch myself sideways in the mirror so I can make sure I'm sticking my butt out and not my knees.

Thanks guys! Thinking back on it, the times I wasn't very tired after running were when I had a protein shake right after I was finished. I will make sure I have one every time from now on. Are the energy squares from nuts.com paleo friendly?

I have a question for you all: is anyone else feeling really exhausted after running? Today I did week 6 day 1 and I honestly wanted to lay down and take a nap when I got home. I've noticed I've been feeling like this the last couple of weeks. I don't run very fast (4.5 mph) so I don't think I'm over doing it. I have been increasing my speed a little bit during the jogging portion to keep from getting bored but its not for very long and still not fast. As far as diet goes I'm eating about 800 calories, 80 grams protein, about 80 oz water, and less than 45 carbs a day. I'm only 4'11 so I think 800 calories is a lot. Any advice guys?

I find when I work out my sleeve gets really tight and I can't drink water till about 15 minutes after I am done. I try my best to get in 16 oz of water before I workout and an 11 oz protein drink. I will have another protein drink after my workout and sip sip sip my water.

Yum! I love goat cheese.

Starting Week 4 day 1 today. I love reading your guys' stories about running. Such an inspiration. I hope I get to the point where I really love running since I noticed it has definitely helped with the weight loss and I want to keep going.

How soon can we eat these? I really want to try them!

Armywife29, How come you are only doing clear liquids? Dr. Luna told me to do full liquids starting 3 days post op. Are you just being cautious?
