Starting Leangains tomorrow. Excited.

As a type-1 diabetic you definitely need to be careful when cutting out sugar--you will probably see a huge decrease in the amount of insulin you need. If you're on a pump then it should be easier because you can temp-basal, take your pump off, etc. If you're on Lantus then I'd slowly cut back on how much you're eating. Lastly, if you're on a sliding scale, call your diabetes educator/endo and confirm the amount of carbs they want you eating daily and edit it to what you want with them and decreasing your insulin.

that's pretty awesome....

Ahh love this! Currently attempting to come up with my own. Can't wait to hear all about your adventures!

Nope, own apartment. Think Comcast has it out for me? PS...sorry for spamming this thread!

OK tried both, no such luck. Sad I won't be in chats anymore, hopefully I'll figure this out soon!

Nope, home computer. Using Safari...

That's what I did, then it doesn't load or anything...

trying to figure out the chat room...really wishing I was a computer nerd...

I agree, but I get so bored running more than a 5k. I need goals--I wish I had some idea of what I specifically wanted, besides to beat you in this challenge. And one pull up.

Yea, I need to figure out a whole fitness game plan....

I had a dream I was running through Mexico and got lost. This occurred simultaneously while reading Born to Run.

Haha that's funny. I just got my cast off, so MWODs every day!

I asked about your question at work today (I work in a hospital) and a lot of people recommended lactobacillus or adding yogurt to your diet as long as the yogurt has probiotics!

I saw on one of those TV shows some personal trainer who purposefully gained a large amount of weight so he could be more credible to his clients... Anyways, back to you, I think it's great that you are going to get back on track, and in a few months lead all of us without certifications in the right direction! Congrats to you! PS...sorry about the broken leg...I'm suffering through a broken foot now and it sucks! Can't imagine my whole leg...

This can't be more true. A friend of mine went to Ohio State for football....preferred weightlifting and could have done amazingly well...but there aren't many full rides for weightlifting.

I could probably do 1 mile in less than 8 minutes (did 2 miles in 14 min my first year in college) but I haven't done a timed 5k in a long time. Nowadays I'd probably do >30--running hard for that long is difficult! Keep doing what you're doing, because running 5k isn't an easy feat

I've just been listening to my body after a workout. I try to fast afterwards, but if I'm hungry I eat. It's been working for me.

I'm terrible because of my medical background....I treat medical problems with medicine...

Nooo I'm taking my Boy Scout troop camping :-(

I'm in!!!

Saucony Kinvara 2 and NB Minimus....still getting used to the Minimus but LOVE my Kinvaras....would buy them again.

Not sure what that means, but sounds awesome!! Congrats!

I'm not sure, he is training for the Olympics now... So possibly

....my friend ran a 4:03 in high school and I watched....does that count?
