I've had PF more than once and the sneaky little bugger is trying to get me again! I continue to run but stretch the fascia daily with an accu ball and stretch my calves, achilles, etc. NSAID's as needed, always wear birkenstocks in the house etc etc. if I need extra help I see a PT to get me through a flare-up. Train…

Your post reminds me of me - a younger version mind you. I'm 49 and 5'10. At my lowest I was about 126 lbs (when much younger) and I looked like a skeleton. Today I am 160 and trying to lose 10-15. My happy weight is at about 146 but my focus is on eating healthy and doing exercises that I enjoy - running and lifting. You…

A purse for my 3 year old niece it has her initial on it and it's adorable

I want a goddamn neck pillow for the tub

Our office is laden with cookies and chocolate and other treats from well meaning clients.. and it's all sitting there 15 feet away, every day. I allowed myself one chocolate and a cookie and a toffee today and after dinner tonight I had a small square my daughter made. I allow myself tastes not servings. Our Christmas…

Three years ago I was sin a boating accident and shattered my left clavicle. I had just begun training for my first marathon. I was off work for 4 months, had two surgeries, and was restricted from even walking anywhere for the first 6 weeks. I was devastated and already a little heavier than I would like. I changed my…

Yeah. I don't have much to lose but have stalled also, somewhat. I struggle with pushing myself to drop weight faster than I need to, if at all. And, as a fellow runner, I get how you want to be lighter. At this point it seems to be more of a number you've got in your head, no? I say keep eating and tracking and running…

I just ate a molasses sandwich

Assertiveness +1

I'm pretty hammered

Oh you still look approachable

I do like the shaved head look on you. Makes you look bad boy

Where am I? Sorry to intrude.

Forearms and hands. Tall. Articulate.

Thank you.

Thank you for the insight and for the thoughtful questions. We started counselling a while ago and went a couple of times but it was more to help us communicate and other stuff. So yes other stuff exists also. I resent his playtime absolutely. I'm jealous as hell maybe that makes me awful. Do I love him enough. I don't…

Thanks for the replies. He loves his NFL and Survivor, and lots of other sports. But he's not a couch potato he is young and fit and fun. I guess he is more into play than I am and the contrast makes me uncomfortable. He's not interested in charity unless I suggest it. He just wants to ski and pal around with his buddies.…

My boyfriend/common law husband has decided to retire. He took early retirement at 49 and has worked part time since then. He is now almost 57 and doesn't want to work anymore. We have only been together 2 years. This isn't what I envisioned. I can't retire for nearly 6 years and even then I may still wish to work part…

I feel like my boyfriend hates me Can I donate blood

I've started using Strong Curves and like it a lot - easy to use for home workouts.

I sit at a desk all day and commute an hour each way. I had my employer provide a stand-up workstation so at least I can alternate between sitting and standing. I run on my lunch twice a week, and 3 times a week I lift for 30-40 minutes in my basement before or after work. I bought dumbbells second-hand online, same with a…

I am 5'10+ and currently weigh about 157. Goal weight 145 or so. I'm pretty well muscled, but tummy is a trouble spot, especially now that I am nearing menopause.

I find mittens keep my fingers warmer than gloves.

I borrowed Strong Curves from the library and liked it so much I asked for my own copy for my birthday. I've just started a 12 week program in conjunction with running and I'm excited to start what looks like a great program! Thanks to all who shared their love of it.

I picked up one called yoga for beginners on Amazon. It's produced by Element the instructor is Elena Brower. I have Rodney Yee and know what you mean about flowing too quickly between poses. The Element workout is about 45 minutes long and she holds each pose for a lot longer. Too long, initially! I found it a bit…

Home for me. I am more likely to lift or hit the elliptical if I only have to go downstairs. I run 3x a week and do it outdoors. It's been fun building my home gym piece by piece, getting it second hand at a good price. My daughter even joined me this week. She hit the elliptical while I lifted. I'm really proud of her and…

Runner here - training for 30K race in March. Sending you friend request :)

Great news. Thanks again.
