[wombat712 2]

Ok - no excuses; I'm not going to redo week 6. The last run on week 6 was 25 min and all of week 7 is run 25 min so I'm just going to truck on ...

Still hoping my back is happy tomorrow. It's better today but still very sore.

Welcome back Whosya!!!!!

Ok Para...you better check in...i want to hear you were shakin your bootie today getting ready for that cruise...

welcome back whoysa !!

womabat - hope your back is feeling better, i think wk 7 is a good idea *i'm not even following the wk program now - but running straight through*

paragirl - vacation is a perfect excuse to kickstart the diet/exercise; fingers crossed you get your 8lb goal

so i'm tired even typing. my husband and i signed up for a 6wk "boot camp" w/my trainer and it started this am:

45min spin class

2mile jog - with sit ups / push ups inbetween

30min leg weight training

we'll do this monday & friday mornings for 6wks, mixing things up...so he says. btw, trainer is an ex-marine, going to bet i can't walk tomorrow...in fact i have to get up every few minutes cause the longer i sit - the harder it is to get up...:drool: if this doesn't push the scale down - i don't know what will...:sneaky:

have a good wk all~

You go lady...your gona drop weight like crazy!!!

LETS GO PARAGIRL!

Everyone is doing GREAT!!! I didn't do day 3 of week 4--so I'm going to repeat week 4t this week. I struggled with it last week.....

I'm on spring break--spent the day cleaning most of the garage..will finish tomorrow

[luluc 6]

hey bigbaby - i repeated more than one wk, more than once...go w/what your body tells ya - if you can do more , stretch yourself - otherwise take this at your pace!

whosya - NO mud, but i did commit not to complain or question anything. *i've given him a hard time in the past*...but have 2 weddings this summer and need to get the butt off the back of my legs and equal to the waistline...if i don't post much - it's because i'm sitting on a block of ice or heating pad:tongue2:

para girl - make it???

[wombat712 2]

OMG I did it!! I ran for 25 minutes straight!!! Wooohooo!!!!!!

I'm almost there - I'm almost a runner :biggrin2:

Question for y'all - what and how much do you guys eat before a work out and after a work out? I drank a slim fast before - about 30 min before - and I felt like it was sloshing a bit, made me a little nervous that I might lose a little something :tongue:

I really cannot eat solid food for Breakfast so I'm not sure what I can do to get something in me. I've heard (please correct me if you've heard differently) that you are supposed to eat some Protein after a work out. Well I realized I was eating two breakfasts and negating my calorie burn from working out - grrrrrrr.

Anyway, sorry for rambling - just wanted to get all of y'alls opinions!!!

Happy running!!!!

that is FANTASTIC wombat!!!! whoooooooo hoooooooo

as far as food goes - i find some yogurt w/granola keeps me pretty satisfied in the mornings before a workout - and can keep me till lunchtime (but I do eat an early lunch)...i'm the reverse of some people, i wake up hungry (and if i have a warm cup of coffee - i can eat most anything afterwards). i have an early lunch and after that - i'm not too hungry the rest of the day or evening. i try not to eat past 6:30pm (i hit that most days).

husband on the other hand can't eat till the afternoon - so he does an Atkins or eas shake to get through the early part of the day or workout.

can you do oatmeal? sometimes i'll have that in place of yogurt..

[bigbaby 4]

wombat!!!! CONGRATS..CONGRATS..CONRATS

What do you meanthat you were "negating calorie burn from workout?"

does this mean that you were eating back the calories that you've just burned?

I always eat dinner after my workout...protein and a veggie. I nornally work out after 6:00 p.m.--should I eat, workout and then eat nothing else?

WOOOW WOMBAT>

IM SUPER proud if you!!!!!!!!! 25 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOu foxy young chick!

[wombat712 2]

hehehe - thanks for calling me young Whosya!!! 40 is creeping up on me pretty quick :tongue: In fact, I found a grey hair this morning lol

Bigbaby - Don't skip dinner! I was eating two breakfasts - one before and one after, then still eating lunch and dinner. I just need to find lower cal options than 200cal for both breakfasts. The treadmill shows my calorie burn just over 200 that's why I said it was negated :tt2:.

I know I need something before I work out, it's in the morning and I need the energy. From what I've been told I should have Protein after to help build muscle - don't know if there's any truth to that or not.

[luluc 6]

wombat, what about 2 breakfasts that are 100cals each? Example: yogurt / oatmeal / cottage cheese....then follow with a Protein Shake. The kind I like EAS are carb control, 19grams of Protein, and only 1110calories...try mixin it up..

[whosyadaddy 0]

Only 1110 cals Luluc? lol i love typos. I like those EAS as well. Only decent tasting protien i can find.

Ran a 5k this morning.

Well i did it!!!

I regestered for a 10k race/run on June 14th in Green Bay.
