Yesterday I got back in the pool for the first time in two years, and I'm a runner. Let me tell you. Grab a kickboard and do laps holding onto it and just using your legs. It's basically the same workout as running.

When people leave food/napkins in dishes that they put in the sink. JUST THROW IT AWAY, OH MY GOD

I drink a lot of water and go for a run to alleviate any crapping guilty feelings, then just continue as normal :)

I'm actually of the more unpopular opinion here. I've seriously hurt myself doing burpees (and I'm in the military!) before and I don't think they're a good form of punishment at all. If a teacher had tried to physically punish me with an exercise like that in high school, I would have hauled my happy rear to the…

A sat phone is probably a good idea for this. Look into them. They can be pricey, but they're invaluable in a pinch, especially in remote areas. Also, bear spray. (Living in Alaska has made me hyperaware!)

Complacency brought on by starting antidepressants. Don't get me wrong, I was lazy before, it just used to bother me. With the antidepressants, not much bothered me, hahah. (This is not an anti-antidepressant PSA. I'm on different ones now and I ❤️ them dearly.)

I'm just barely 5' 6'' and I started at 164.5 and have a goal weight of 138. Currently at 153.9! Feel free to add :)

My Fitbit is probably 70% of my motivation. At work, we have a group of people doing weekly challenges where everyone can see your total steps and let me tell you, it is MOTIVATING. Even if you're in last place, you feel really inspired to beat the person above you, and even if you do the Fitbit thing solo, seeing your…

I make my coffee with protein shake as creamer and Stevia as sweetener. It takes a little getting used to, but then coffee turns into a non-guilty thing, haha.

I want a 100 on my PT test by September. This involves dropping 3.5 minutes off my run time. :neutral:

Well... I'm in the military... and my diet includes a lot of Redbull and coffee. Same?

As someone married, I just kind of kick back and observe all the stuff that goes on and laugh.

I'm planning it now. It's going to be a massive multicolored octopus. :wink:

You look awesome! Great job!

Skip the first day and roll around in bed moaning, then continue as normal for the other five or so :smiley:

24 here! 5' 6'', SW 165, CW 159.8, GW 138 :)

Anchorage, Alaska :)

I ate an entire box of chocolate-covered peanut butter granola bars in about ten minutes last night. It was my reason for reactivating MFP.
