I think your schedule looks great! Yoga helps sooooo much...if only I could get myself to do it more often. Good luck on your race!

I am so sick of all the Charlie Sheen talk too! He's a loser and does not deserve the attention at all.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.. I'll do a longer post about this soon. Some factors as to why I am thinking it's more hormone related. And WELCOME!

Good for you for going back! I've always wanted to try yoga in a class I've only done this at home. I think it would be a great learning experience!

I just found you through Skinny Runner and I have to say I'm having the same issues - I can't tell if it's the change in season or because I'm becoming more active.

I will say this - I do notice that when I eat more sweeteners [like splenda or sugar free stuff] I break out all over my chin! SO strange. I can't eat sugar free jello - and I hate that. I've been using Truvia lately but still it seems to be messing up my skin...

Keep us posted I would love to see how your experiment goes!

Hi Lauren - I may be able to help you. What you are experiencing is not hormone-related acne, it's stress-related, which is also consistent with your experience of hair loss. Hormone-related adult acne typically affects the chin - think of a man's goatee area - whereas stress-related adult acne typically affects the jawline onto the neck.
When some one experiences stress-related hair loss, the hair will start to fall out approximately three months after the onset of the stressful event or time period. Unfortunately, you can expect the hair loss to continue for about another three months, then you should find that will taper off back to normal, and by that time, frequently, you might already see new little hairs already starting to grow back.
So keep on with the vitamins, get proper rest, lots of water...you know, the usual stuff. Also, it helps if your face products are of the same line. For example if you are using "Brand X" face wash, your toner and moisturizer should also be "Brand X". Product lines are designed to work synergistically, according to that brand's skin-care philosophy, so you don't want to use competing product lines that may have ingredients that are not going to work optimally together.

I feel you. I have the same issues and have had them for years. I stay on birth control to prevent the breakouts but lately things have gone all wrong. I am losing my hair and extra sweaty and greasy. I have hashimotos a thyroid disease but my thyroid levels are normal so no meds yet. I know how it feels to lose the hair, mine is thinning and it is depressing. You should ask your doctor to check you for thyroid issues and hashimotos. You never know. Good Luck!

2011-03-31T13:57:54.115-04:00

I always had battles with my skin until I went on the pill and started to SKIP the placebo pills entirely. My dr said I should do this because I had really horrible periods. I have asked a few other doctors, they say its ok, I am still skeptical. Jury is out. But no more time-of-the-months and beautiful skin is great.

Congrats on making it to Cat Lady Blogs!! My hubs and I decided to do the 'eat at home' test awhile back. We never set a length of time, it was more like eat everything in the house till we are forced to go to the grovery store. In the end we were eating baked beans and hotdogs! But it felt really good to save money and not waste food.

I found you from skinnyrunner. I was comepled to write because I have the SAME skin problem as you. I went to the dermatologist and he put me on sulfameth/tmp. It is a medicine used when you have a yeast infection. NO, I don't have a yeast infection, but I do have 3-5 cyst typically on my neck a week. The medicine has worked AWESOME!!!! Also too use products with a high amount of benzyol peroxide.

Just saw you on SkinnyRunner. Couldn't believe it when I recognized the Derby mini shirt from last year. It's pretty exciting to find a blogger in the same city who enjoys races! Although your "slow" times are faster than me! I did the 10k and 10 miler and am doing the Derby as well. :)

Love hot yoga! I used to have a studio in NYC that I went to once a week, and did a lot of running the other days. It's a really great mix to lengthen your muscles, get the toxins out, and have a really good stretch. Great job!

2011-02-16T10:29:10.137-05:00

Marg, I totally forgot to do a recap of my measurements. I will try to do tonight. But, I am not a super fitness person, I just go into every work out and try and give it my all.. it's only 1 hour! I have only done the lean version, and I just do what I can and try and improve the next time. Would love to know what you think once you get started. Good luck!

2011-02-16T09:57:08.087-05:00

I'm curious to see how the P90X went. I'm waiting on it to come in sometime this week, not sure if it's too intense for me but may try out the lean option.

Thanks! I <3 Target!

2011-02-08T21:58:29.000-05:00

Noooo! That training plan was too much! Definitely stick with three days, I usually run Tuesday, Thursday, long runs Saturday, and then a short (1-2 mile) run on Sundays. If you are running 5 days a week, it will burn you out.

2010-10-14T08:48:21.006-04:00

I don't know any whistlers, however I work at several clients where no one speaks. There's no music, nothing. It's too quiet for me to work sometimes! I started listening to my ipod. I usually only have one earphone in so I can hear if anyone should happen to speak to me.

The quiet just kills me some days. Plus, if I have a really tedious task to get through, putting hard rock on scream in my ear helps.

Maybe it's because we grew up in a family where who ever is the loudest wins?? :-)

Wait until you try High & Tight with the stretchy band. I have to pause the video and stretch between quite a few of the exercises. Youch! ;) Looking forward to hearing more over the next 4 weeks!

What to have for breakfast? A chocolate shake...SHAKEOLOGY!! ;) I never have to think about it. Just put a scoop in a blender with some water, ice, a little skim, soy, or almond milk...Presto...your healthiest meal of the day!

Oh, and LOVE the shoes!
