nice back!

try to keep the food log. In my opinion, it's more important than writing down your routine. (although both is better. )

you look fantastic.

Toots13,

I completely understand. I was training for a 10k before I got on elite and I was quickly developing a "runner's body" and losing all of my strength. I tried to give up running when I started this, however I missed it so much I'm trying to add it back into my routine. Even if I can only get in 2-3 miles a day, I'm fine. I'm addicted to the high I get when I'm done. It's my form of ecstasy.

Oh, and you're right about the calories. I made that mistake on Monday.

I used to be the same way... my form of release and to clear my head

Sure I'm very pleased to get better results completely cutting the cardio in half, but I miss the feeling of pounding the pavement and that high I used to get...

Oh well, can't have my cake and eat it to

I've seen more results in the past 5 weeks, than I did with the running. That's why I'm doing 2 mile speed interval training session. I'm able to run and get HIIT done at the same time. The extra cardio I do after is to get rid of that "I'm going to vomit feeling" I get after getting my heart rate up really high.

I am very familiar with that "going to vomit" feeling. That's how I know I've done it right.

Thanks for the posts girls! I am VERY familiar with the vomit & runner's high feelings. I ran a few half marathons & a couple full marathons. I have to admit, I am addicted to that high after a good run. I know though, it's not going to help me in the muscle dept. I am trying to control myself. I do like HIIT (Yeah sick I know) AND yes, it does make me want to get sick too. My face turns bright red, I'm hacking & coughing up a lung practically! But I feel good about the results I am seeing. I will continue with the food log. I will start tonight or tomorrow. I just wanted to have a better log. I will do it, just knowing that in time it will get better. Toots13

As I go along with my log, advice would be greatly welcomed & appreciated. Above, was that bad that I had soynut butter (fat) with that meal?

Keep trying on the fitday, it really is helpful.....

How many calories are you going for daily?? Cuz this meal seems quite large.....I'd break it down into 2 separate meals....that's a lotta food....
