  1. I'm in Carnegie, so farther south than you. Wexford just got a new Whole Foods, right? Or maybe a Giant Eagle Market District... I don't know, ha. I tried Double Wide for the first time about a month ago--very yummy! I also want to try Eden. Have you been there, dlk1?
  2. Awesome! What area do you live in? And good luck with your converting I've convinced my boyfriend to (mostly) drink almond milk and drastically decrease his meat consumption! It took a while though, haha.
  3. I grew up out near the airport (went to West Allegheny), but now I live in Carnegie. And yes, there aren't many vegans that I know of, but there are a few vegan/vegan-friendly restaurants!
  4. I figure this is a shot in the dark, but I'll try anyway... Is anyone on here in the Pittsburgh area? I'd love to find a training buddy!
  5. I'm also thinking about starting to train for a competition, but I'm interested in a bikini competition. That being said, can anyone offer any advice? Should I get a coach? Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated!
  6. I ran 10 miles in 1:32! Not the fastest pace, but the farthest distance I've ever gone! And foam rolling afterward felt FANTASTIC! I also drank a protein smoothie before my run and a protein shake after, and I'm going to yoga tomorrow night to help keep my muscles loose.
  7. I bought AWESOME pink running shoes and a foam roller today! I'm all set for my log run tomorrow
  8. Thanks, Amanda--same to you! I really appreciate all of your help, advice and support! Also, I forgot to tell you earlier... I signed up for the Pittsburgh half marathon (I think you knew that, though) and a Warrior Dash in June! I'm really excited for both I bought some spirulina to try today, too! I ordered in online through Spencer's Market, so I should be getting it in about two weeks! Thanks, Karen! It's been great posting here! I use SparkPeople to track my nutrition/fitness, too, but I really like the sense of community here! I'll keep my eyes peeled for that post!
  9. Amanda -- I've used a foam roller a few times, but I don't have one myself. I need to invest in one! It totally killed my hips when I used it though; I don't know if it's because it was because I was sore or my hips were weak. How much do foam rollers usually cost? Where can I get one? Amazon? Dylan -- Thanks so much! FOOD 8:30 -- protein smoothie 1:15 -- HUGE salad (mixed greens, beets, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc.) 3:30 -- fruit salad 6:00 -- protein shake 6:15 -- baby carrots and hummus 7:30 -- cashews and an apple EXERCISE three-mile run -- 25:42
  10. Thanks, Amanda! That's the farthest I've ever run, so I was pretty happy with it. I was definitely feeling it afterward, though! My hips (mostly my left, actually) were killing me! I did some yoga tonight to try to help with the soreness. I'm trying to increase my calories on long run days! Sometimes it's just hard to get myself to eat extra food--it's more of a mental thing than anything else! FOOD 8:30 -- protein smoothie 12:15 -- broccoli and almonds 3:00 -- apple 5:15 -- red pepper, baby carrots and hummus 6:00 -- cashews 6:30 -- grapes EXERCISE yoga -- 60 minutes
  11. FOOD 9:00 -- protein smoothie 12:30 -- protein shake 2:30 -- baby carrots and hummus 5:30 -- spaghetti squash and nutritional yeast 6:00 -- raw cashews and an orange 7:15 -- pear EXERCISE 8.5 mile run -- about 80 minutes
  12. It was raining all day today, so I decided to do Insanity again. Tonight's workout was more like power yoga, so it was a nice change! I also made my protein shake with coconut milk instead of almond milk today... I wanted to try something new, but the protein powder dissolves better in almond milk! FOOD 8:30 -- protein smoothie 12:30 -- HUGE salad (spinach, mushrooms, chickpeas, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, bell peppers, cucumbers, etc.) 3:30 -- apple 5:30 -- baby carrots and hummus 6:00 -- raw cashews and an orange 7:15 -- protein shake EXERCISE Insanity Cardio Recovery -- 30 minutes
  13. I've only done two days of it, and I'm not following the 60-day plan--just jumping in with my boyfriend when I'm not running or taking a day off. That being said... IT'S HARD! Yesterday's workout was a 10 minute warm-up (though I was "warmed up" after about five minutes), five minutes of stretching, one circuit three times through, another circuit three times through and then five minutes of stretching. It's definitely intense and different--the sort of workout you love to hate! After just a few days though, I can see why people who stick with it (and eat well!) get such great results!
