Recommended Posts

It was SOOOOO cold here in Vancouver (i'm such a wimp now with the cold). I started out not feeling my toes and ended the race not feeling my toes : )

BUT I DID IT!!!!

I even ran the first 20 min WITHOUT STOPPING!!!!

BUT I DID IT!!!

did I finish first??? NOOOO far from it......I actually finished 7th from last.

BUT I DID IT!!!! I FINISHED and I feel fantastic!!!!

I finished under my 1 hour goal (coming in at 59 min 32 seconds)

Consitering this is my first time EVER running outdoors and with other people around, I am proud!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
