KellyAnn Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yes. Shannon. I sooooo asked for this today in email and they added it here. I am so excited this is here. Thank you ZenLabsFitness. This is great. OK everyone. Here we go. As a Moderator here, let's rock 2015!!!!!!! I need to lose like everyone else. So, what I am thinking is. Post your workouts daily here, how are you feeling?, you name it. Let's hold each other accountable for the new year. We can do this together. Don't post what you did anywhere else on other topics if you want accountability. This is the BOARD we all want to go to. Then, if you need another Topic/Board, then go there and post. Let's do this everyone. Thanks ZenLabsFitness for adding this. This is great. We begin everyone. Post away and help each other along. We got this. I need it as much as you do. GO!!! If you are on MyFitnessPal, please post you name. I am Kellyannbarr1 I am Week 7, Day 1, 10k App on Monday. Post what and where you are. Hugs everyone. 2015!!!!!! Yay.

Missy Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Week 1 day 1 this evening once my little one is in bed! I have never been able to run but always wanted to! Pete O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beth Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Is there a part of this app that tracks how far you have gone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyDz Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 New to running again after 20 years (just turned 40), life, kids, major knee injuries,etc. Going to take it slow and try to listen to my body, but it's hard when your body says "go back!! Go back!" How do you get past that and a unhelpful bipolar hubbie? I want to di this! I have this crazy dream if running a Disney half marathon someday. I would love to run with my 6 1/2 yr old boy who has done and liked the kiddos "final mile" & really liked running. He's ADHD and activity it's wonderful for him. Anyone got any helpful thoughts for all or some of this. sdbeachgirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyDz Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Also what are everyone's thoughts about running at night? Like around 8:30pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoseWithin~Shannon Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Amy, right on!!! So excited for you! Love your crazy dream!! LOVE IT! Can't wait to see how you progress! <3 In regards to "any helpful thoughts" ... Not sure this will help, yet I can share from personal past and present experience: 1) When my life-numbing voice spoke up: "don't feel like it today" "turn around... return" "I can't ..." "this is too hard, too early, too late, too tired, too busy" [etc...] "your not as young as you used to be Shannon" [eye-roll] "I'll start Monday <insert whatever day it is for you here>" [my popular go too] EDIT during my W1D2 run today: "I don't have the right running outfits/gear! I look ridiculous." [am I running naked? No! Are you warm? Yes! Well then. hush, and carry on!]. ... made myself laugh at me today! LOL Push past. It is as simple as that. Once I pushed back once, the second time became easier and that adds up. Also committing to the same time each day supported me in staying on track. When I experienced a setback and could not follow through, I'd simply run later that day, or skipped and picked up the next day. "Progress not perfection". 2) I learned that there is a world of support present everywhere, outside home, and it's up to me to simply reach out - either at a gym, or online, (no matter where we struggle there are groups out there to support - online and offline). I have only to open myself up and jump in. The really cool thing? When I jumped in ... people jumped in to support me AND eventually, so too did my family. As far as running at night ... what works best for you? When is it most convenient? When do you feel the most inspired? I prefer early morning - I love being a part of nature waking up, and seeing folks heading into work. I also enjoy how it defines my morning and sets the tone for the rest of the day for me. I've noticed just as many who love; who are invigorated by an afternoon or late evening run! ps. I'm getting back in the saddle again too. I am returning to what worked in the past for me, AND also adding in the new. Mainly, I am determined to re-connect and stay connected. Can't wait to see what I learn this go-round! sdbeachgirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 My thought is we each make our own thread to chronicle our journey and oithers are welcoime to chime in. We do that on my fitness forums and it works fantastically. THis way you can scroll back through all the detrails of your own journey, as can anyone else for anyone specific. I was wondering if there was a place I could do this on here! What a fab idea! TheRoseWithin~Shannon and KellyAnn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoseWithin~Shannon Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I concur with Az and Missy. Is it possible to keep one person's progress ALL in one individual thread so that we can see where they started and what they have achieved vs. searching for threads across many pages? I was trying to back track on a few members to see where they started, what they experienced, (struggled with and overcame). It is probably wayHAY easier than I made it. I'm still learning my way around these forums. It's fun exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi everyone! Feel free to start your own individual posts inside the Accountability topic! It is very helpful to post and describe your progress and feelings, very much like a diary or journal. You can then look back and see just how far you have come! This particular post can be used to find fellow friends to help keep you on track. Special shoutout to our fabulous moderator KellyAnn for keeping the forums a friendly and safe place!

KellyAnn Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks Admin. I love it and being here. Love helping everyone. I love the Journal idea. I sure need that myself. 2015 will be the best year! TheRoseWithin~Shannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek77 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi everyone! Today is my first day and I definitely need some accountability buddies! I live in Michigan and it's really crappy outside today, do you think it's ok to jog in place indoors, for today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi everyone! Today is my first day and I definitely need some accountability buddies! I live in Michigan and it's really crappy outside today, do you think it's ok to jog in place indoors, for today? Outside is where you will run your first 5k so outside is the best place to run, then indoor track, treadmill and I guess if you can jogf in place why not. ANYTHING is better than sitting on your butt!! jamiek77 and KellyAnn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunFromClowns Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Sooo...I need to figure out this app first! I was trying to reply to jamiek77...I live in MI too and I'm starting the 10k program tomorrow. My actual race day is 5 months away but I'm ready to train and get in shape.

Whittlet2 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I just downloaded this app. It seems great for having others to chat with about your process! Tonight once I get time to myself I will be starting week 1 day 1. I have a 10 year old and a 7 month old so I'm gonna have to start making time for myself to get healthy. I turn 30 on Thursday and want to start my 30s out right! sdbeachgirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi There Whittlet, Welcome on here. Kids sure do keep you busy. But I sure do miss those days... Good Luck tonight and post when after your run. We are all here for you will be cheering you on! Hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HukMup Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi. I started 4 days ago and going to do w1d3 tomorrow. Actually, it's really cold these days out there (-15C) and no one runs in the street in our city. I did not expect that I would be so glad to find other beginners, but reading how others do it helps me to do my best as well.

KellyAnn Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi There HukMup, Welcome here. Way to go. Brrr, that is cold, happy you found other runners out there. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoseWithin~Shannon Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I cannot seem to find the myfitnesspal app. I see counters, yet I'm not interested in counting calories. Was it a different app that others were talking about in regards to connecting with other C25K participants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane1901 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi everyone, my fitness pal profile is diane1034 if anyone fancies buddy-ing up on that particular app. Good luck everyone with whatever your goals are ! X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Welcome Diane!! I'm afraid I'm on a pseudopaleo diet called "The Nerd Fitness" diet. We don't count calories. This means no more MFP for me but welcome nontheless! <G> Diane1901 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo4applerose Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I am so excited about all this thank you Kelly for inviting me. Yesterday was my first run, today is my skip day and tomorrow will be my second run and I am looking forward to it thank you all for being here. Today is also my second day on the Atkins diet. I am so happy about all the support here and hope I can help others too. KellyAnn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
