Rest In Peace Papa Nez <3 This world has lost a true creative genius but the legacy you leave behind will go on. You have been influential and inspiring to me just about my entire lifetime, to this day not a week goes by when I don’t hear one of your songs or use one of your quotes irl somewhere. We will miss you… now it’s…

Caramel apples for everyone!

Tonight, I bite!!! Happy Halloween! >:)

When I lost weight, my chest size didn’t budge so when I became a runner I had to figure out how to minimize the bounce. Been running 8 years now and this is what works for me: I wear 2 sports bras at once, one underwire and one soft compression bra, one on top of the other for extra support. For the underwire I wear the…

Great post! This is why I don’t like the saying “no pain, no gain” but I guess “no mild temporary discomfort, no gain” just doesn’t have the same ring to it :D

I’m a trail runner and run up and down hills all the time and it does give me a fantastic workout, but I really do it because I find it fun. I don’t know about on a treadmill but I can easily overdo hills and my Achilles’ tendons will definitely let me know when it’s time to scale back and do some flat terrain runs. Make…

Never had acne as a teen but when I hit my mid 30’s I got really bad cystic acne on my lower face. Tried everything, even various prescriptions, nothing really eliminated it until I hit my 40’s it mellowed out to just regular acne instead of cystic. I’m on my way to 50 now and I don’t get as much but I find that if I eat…

Our bodies are still burning calories while we sleep, we cannot possibly keep track of ALL the metabolic processes that go on ALL the time, we can only make close estimates with a slight margin of error. I consider daily fluctuations between 1-5 pounds to be within that margin of error and don’t get too worked up about it.…

I always considered dancing to be cardio :# but I get what you’re saying. Good job finding what works best for you! I always say keep trying different things until you find what you enjoy. Years ago I forced myself to go to the gym because I assumed thats how you get in shape but I found it to be incredibly boring. Once I…

:o How did you know?! I hate hate hate the smell of fabric softener, it’s so gross and cloying to my senses :s I am actually allergic to some perfumes and fragrance ingredients, those scented garbage bags are the worst, my throat starts swelling before I even notice the smell. But I also suspect I might be somewhere on the…

I don’t own any fleece, it always felt like styrofoam against my skin *cringe* I don’t even like handling it but sometimes can’t avoid it (some of my patients wear fleece so I occasionally have to). Over the years I’ve slowly replaced most of my everyday wardrobe with biodegradable plant/animal fibers and I like the feel…

Thanks! :)

Gonna be 47 later this month and really enjoying the mom bod life B)

Gonna be 47 later this month… it’s been a long journey to achieve body acceptance but I can proudly say that I <3 my uterus and I <3 my womanly curves and I’m really enjoying this stage of my life! :)

Those are called “buñuelos” and happy bday! :)

Thanks! :)

I dated online from 2006-2009 and had overall good experiences. I met some people there was absolutely no chemistry with so there was no second date, got stood up twice, got invited to a house party that I turned down because that’s not my idea of a first date. Shortly after that I found someone I was interested in so I…

I found that once I hit my goal weight I didn’t quite look like I thought I would, I felt like I looked “soft” and kinda jiggly. It took a couple of years for my skin to tighten up and smooth out and I continued to exercise and challenge myself with movement. It also took a few years of this but eventually I built a bit…

Real is beautiful <3 you go grrrl!

I put any valuables like phone, keys and cards in a ziplock bag and then into a second ziplock bag and dig a shallow hole in the ground/sand where I’m gonna leave my stuff. I bury it in the hole and place the beach blanket, towel or my clothes/shoes on top of it and as long as no one is watching you do this they probably…

If some people are willing to put up with the side effects of Alli, I don’t doubt some would try this too! :o

This is awesome, congrats! :)

According to this experiment the mice didn’t sweat water, they sweat sebum. Their coats got really shiny because their skin secreted excessive amounts of oily sebum and that’s how they lost weight. I’m not sure I’d find it very pleasant to be a human with excessive sebum coming out of all my pores. I mean, I already have…

Wow fantastic transformation, congrats! And congrats on becoming a mother, you are gonna be a fantastic role model for your child! <3 :)

Sandy areas are ok for running but in that pic it’s just a dusty trail in the hills, the ground is hard. I prefer to run on hardpan/compacted earth whenever possible but I can navigate a variety of surfaces including through vegetation, on rocky trails, mud, sidewalks and pavement, a real treat is to run barefoot in the…

I never planned to become a barefoot runner, it just kinda happened and it’s super fun and working great for me so I continue doing it. Been running this way for almost 8 years, I don’t even own a pair of running shoes :#

Thanks! <3

Went for a 6.6 mile trail run yesterday, gotta keep this mombod moving! And this is a pic from May that I felt really good about…

It means I run. With bees.
