@hanlonsk Thank you for the recommendation and for tagging me here as I had not seen this thread yet.
@Avidkeo I hear you. I used to wear a 44F. I lost 115 pounds (found 15 of them again) and now wear a 38C.
Oh I wish I was a C! 32f is frustrating cause apparently you aren't supposed to have big boobs if you are a size 10/12. Grrr. I started as a G at my heaviest so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. If I had a spare 15k, I'd get a reduction. Fortunately I don't get any medical problems from them - or unfortunately cause if I did then I'd be covered.
I imagine it is a ridiculous frustration for you. I have other issues that may be too graphic for the men here. I hate how certain things are and are not covered by insurance. But that's a whole other thing.
Ya know.... You could still share and put a tmi warning. And use the spoiler option. I'm not squeamish and am an aging female. Or we could just create a thread for running females, men enter at their own risk
I really wish ladies would stop assuming this about men. It is just silliness. Seriously. Its like on the TV show when they show the guy scared to by tampons. For real? Dude they are just sponges with a string on them. Whatever.
My husband buys them for me when I ask. When he's confused about brand etc he takes pictures and texts them to me.
Haha! I wouldn't dare. He'd bring home adult diapers or something!4 -

Only time mine did that was immediately after I gave birth. LOL.3 -

I do that with all things in the store. She will say "Get THIS SPECIFIC THING" and it will SOUND really specific, but then I get there and there are like 5 slightly different things that fit the exact description. So send the pictures I do! Cell phones with cameras are a Godsend for people like me that are not detail oriented.4 -
9 months alcohol-free! That's what I've done for Tomorrow Me so far this year (as most of you probably know, inspired largely by KeepRunningFatboy).
The other thing I'll mention is that I've been putting small amounts into my retirement fund regularly.15 -
I'd like to join if it isn't too late! I'm starting a 20 week training program for my first ever half marathon this month! I've only ever done a 5K, so I'm excited to see how this will go
(am I being too ambitious?)
My goal for November is 34 miles
11/1: 1.5 miles
11/2: rest
Total: 1.5 miles17 -

When I worked at a grocery store I would laugh at the teenage baggers who could barely touch a box of tampons. Like they thought they'd catch something..?6 -

We had a great advert here once with a girlfriend asking the boyfriend to get tampon. He looks at the boxes, picks up one "regular" and the other on "super", looks down at his pants, decides on the super. At the checkout he asked the female operator if the come in a bigger size. Her response was. Nah that's it.6 -

Ya'll cracking me up with the tmi/male/female/tampon conversation.
My man buys them. He even knows exactly which ones I want.3 -
Aw yeaaaah, love this!! I'm a life long runner coming off a hiatus (recovery) joining late for a goal of 75 miles (25 miles per week). We got our first real snow and freeze yesterday... debating whether I need to put screws in my old shoes earlier than usual or just get used... either way, I'm off for a 4 miler, happy running to you all. PS I totally need some MFP friends if anyone wants to add me.8

20 weeks to train for a HM isn't overly ambitious, as long as you follow a reasonable plan and are consistent with it.
Welcome to the group and good luck!
ETA: Welcome also @taotatoes and any other newbies I missed in the last few days.3 -

I'm not married, or even co-habitating... so not something I worry about. However, I would think sending the description and UPC number would be easiest for something that is normally purchased and being replaced.4 -

Non-Running update:
Here in Pittsburgh, we are 7 days out from the shooting. I can not offer words to describe the emotions that are brought out of such an act of evil.
It sadly is something that is a sign of the age that America is in right now. Tomorrow at church I am scheduled to preach on "Love your enemies." This was scheduled months in advance and it is part three of a series. Never is such a passage harder to teach and apply than in the face of such actions.
I will most definitely need a good long run today to clear negative energies and get myself to a place where I can preach on love. *sigh* I just have to find a way to make time. Somehow.19 -
So this question has been messing with me!!!!! Primarily because I realized a long time ago that I take care of my today person at the expense of my future person. In all kinds of ways. It can be as small as not putting something back where it belongs, KNOWING that the next time I need it I won't be able to find it. But today person doesn't care about future person enough to put it back where it belongs! And if my today person really cared about future person, I wouldn't make an excuse every time I'm craving a cookie (or 6). When I turned 40 it was "I'm going to lose the weight and make this a healthy decade" - repeat the same mantra for my 50's and now just entering my 60's. And every time, today person would rather eat the ice cream or stop for fast food or eat the fried chicken...than take care of future person.
This is depressing me! Probably because it's a reality I've known but pushed to the back of my thoughts. It's unpleasant to think about - therefore don't think about it.
The only time I remember consciously taking care of future person was when I was in college - in my late 20's - working full time. As hard as that was, I'd tell myself "May 1988 will be here and I will either have my degree or I won't. I might as well stick with it and work hard because when May 1988 arrives, I'll either be happy with myself or ticked off at myself." Somehow it worked back then.
Running - sure I'm really active - but I'm an active obese person! I think I've been kidding myself that I have some amount of health just because I run and bike. I've never been afraid to admit that I'm the perfect example of "you can't out-exercise what you eat." I just haven't cared about future person enough to change it!
Well - there you have it. Depressing. Sorry for the heavy, downer post. I guess now I have to ask myself if today self is going to finally turn around this trajectory or keep going how it's been.
On the lighter side - today person has to rake leaves today or tomorrow person is going to have a disgusting lawn next spring. Why do I care enough about that but not enough to stop shoving food in my mouth. Sheesh.14 -
@PastorVincent I hope you get your run in and are able to get through your sermon tomorrow. It is heartbreaking what people do to each other.
I'll just add my 2 cents to the TMI discussion. Men shouldn't be squeamish about "women stuff" but some are and I think many women are raised not to discuss that stuff in front of men so it may be that the women are just as uncomfortable talking about it to men as the men are. My sisters and I were having a discussion recently about whether you should hide feminine products in your bathroom so the men in your family don't see them. I thought they meant used products, but no, a couple of my sisters actually hide the boxes so their husbands and sons don't have to see them. I keep a basket on the back of the toilet with an extra roll or two of toilet paper and a handful of feminine products in it. It never occured to me to worry about whether my husband or son or any other male who uses that bathroom would see them.7 -
11-1 Rest
11-2 7k intervals
11-3 7k easy
Easy run today in the cold and the rain, but not enough rain for me to qualify for bad-*kitten* status.

Well put. A lot of women (and some men, but largely women) are raised not to make waves in the world, to always think about others' needs and wants before thinking about themselves, and I think that this whole TMI thing is an extension of that (plus the idea that women's bodies are inherently "dirty"). It's certainly good for *everyone* to think about others, but we need to take care of ourselves, too. Being a caretaker of any kind is hard work and takes its toll. That can be parenting, or nursing, or caring for an elderly relative, or ministering. Like you said, @PastorVincent, you MUST make the time for that run, or whatever it is you need to do to take care of yourself, or else one day you just won't have anything left to give.
@biketheworld: *hugs* You in your 20s was right! No matter what you do, time is going to pass. It doesn't matter what you did yesterday - you can always make the decision to do something differently today. Losing weight is a slow, boring process, but it can be done! Make a plan and if that plan doesn't work, make another plan. Make changes that you can live with forever, and that means you get to eat cookies sometimes. What I said earlier in the thread applies here too: you can't expect different results unless you change things. Don't just aspire to change, make a plan! Set goals, and make them easy, concrete, measurable goals. And if you aren't meeting those goals, make different goals.
Second, don't get down on what you've already done - regular exercise is hugely important for your health, and is a hard habit to build. You are NOT kidding yourself. If it was easy, everyone would do it. You could be active and fat or you could be sedentary and fat. I've been the latter and now I'm the former and I'm going to do everything I can not to go back to the way I was before. And I'm not just doing that for tomorrow me, I'm doing it for me right now.
Finally, you shovel food in your mouth because your body needs food to function, and because your brain rewards you for doing things that it needs to survive. Food is a joy and a blessing and the fact that the portion of humanity that starves to death has dramatically decreased over the last few decades might be the greatest achievement of modern time. I genuinely hate seeing people talk about food as garbage or an addiction or anything like that. Yes, a lot of us could do with more veggies and fewer calories, but you don't have to deprive yourself of one of life's most basic pleasures in order to do that.
Sorry for the lecture, I'm feeling a little salty this morning. *hugs*13 -

I don’t think it is too ambitious at all. Five months is a decent amount of time to build up for a half.

As I figured, my running in October was pretty much nil. In addition to the wedding that I went to last weekend, my dad was in the hospital for a week - finally getting a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted. So, it's been rough both on the exercise and eating side of things. However, today is a new day. I am going to sign up for the Pioneer 5 miler on Dec 15th, at Davy Crockett's Birthplace. So, my schedule for this month will reflect getting ready for that. I am only going to count my run/walks this month - not my cross training or just walking days. So, my goal for November is 25 miles. Surely to goodness I can do that!
I've skimmed over the first 10 pages of comments for the month. You guys are doing great and I'm cracking up over the conversations about feminine products. It reminds me of a time when I was at a friends house, watching TV, and a commercial came on about maxi pads. Their young son, about 9 years old, turns and asks me how they feel when you are wearing them. I panicked and glanced at his parents. They said, "We want our kids to feel free to discuss these things," so I answered him - a little bit embarrassed to discuss such things with a young boy. But, I'm glad they weren't making it a mystery or something to be hidden or embarrassed about. He has probably grown up to be a very thoughtful husband.
@biketheworld I hope you can find it within yourself to make the decision to be a healthier, happier you. I know it is hard! I've been there. I think my turnaround was when I decided that I wasn't going to "diet" anymore. I eat basically what I want, just not as much and don't eat the "junk" food as often, but I haven't banned any food from my diet. Anyway, good luck.

Wow, that is a great article, and very much on point! This part really spoke to me: "if we decide that the only people who have the potential to succeed are the ones who meet our idea of what successful looks like — when they’re gifted children of 12 or high achieving 20-year-olds — and only invest in them, we’ll prove ourselves right."3 -

I was also going to say try taking things in small chunks. Instead of saying I have a goal to lose 25, 50, 100 lbs or whatever which can seem overwhelming, try focusing on small daily, weekly, monthly goals... today I am going to eat these things (planned out) or this week I am going to measure out my portions and log my calories. Overtime these small steps will become habits for your tomorrow self!

Got meet my MFP Running Challenge buddy for last 3-4 years @shanaber! West coast meets East Coast! We couldn't run together but we had an awesome time! Thanks @shanaber!
And here we are!
I had a windy ride today - 44 miles - about 30 of it with a head wind. I kept thinking ... WHY DIDN'T I RUN TODAY!?
11/1 - 4 miles
11/2 - rest day
11/3 - 44 miles cycling

1102-5.7k total-5.7k, goal-100k
Dreadmill last night, PT today. Recently my trainer has begun to think that my hip flexors are working well enough and we've started working on the toe-off.
Running mechanics are so funky.
Upcoming races:
20181118 Shanghai Marathon (maybe)8 -
@biketheworld i love your honesty in the monthly question.
It so easy to come here (or anywhere) and put on a show at how successful our running and food health is. Maybe it is easier for certain personalities, but i believe most of us struggle with food, exercise, cookies and my worst flaw- flat out laziness. I just dont care and i dont want to care. I want the cookie, i want the fried chicken (today it was chicken fried steak), i want to sleep in, i want what i want with NO effort. Gods honest truth thar. I'm a lazy being. And making those changes against my core being? Nah. Its gonna be a fight. Some days i win, others i lose, physically mentally and emotionally.
But in that struggle comes character development and discipline. I'm givin the opportunity to grow and learn with each challenge, each small or large thing "i dont wanna" do is my chance to do better, be better and exemplify better. How i show myself I'm capable of better.
An overweight person that is active lowers their health risks to that of a "slim" person- according to a tv show i watched. That btw, I'm unsure of its scientific accuracy. But- even without the scientific stamp of approval, it is undoubtedly healthier than not being active and making even the slightest changes towards better life habits. That's a win.
Each choice we make and the action we put towards that self-care choice is an investment in ourselves no matter how small that ripple is. Its analogous to running. One step in all those miles you managed last month or last year, is still one tiny seemingly insignificant step. And it is in itself progress.
You're here. That's a holy *kitten* change choice. And if you (anyone) hangs in here (or anywhere they develop positive changes) long enough, that's a monumental step in self investment.
I'm gonna follow up this monthly question with another. i wanna know, i want you to think about what is healthy? What does healthy look like? A hint: You wont find it in the media.
