Interesting. I find that I am most regular when I am diligent about calorie tracking. It's only when I have a cheat day that turns into a cheat week that I have any problems with irregularity.

I wish there was a laugh reaction. Not even kidding I almost snorted my oatmeal. Blue cheese is the WORST. I have no idea what pneumonia tastes like, but if I had to guess, it would definitely be somewhere along those lines.

It says right in the ingredients, "1 cup of rolled oats."

I use light mayo, a little bit of light ranch or fat free ranch sometimes, and a little bit of mustard. My tuna salads also usually consist of either peas, or chopped cucumber and dill :) Often I'll throw some diced onion in, too

I was extremely confused at first but I'm assuming this is about two dogs now. I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm glad your older dog is okay. If I were you, I would keep them separated when not supervised. Maybe like block one in one part of the house, and the other in a different part of the house. Fights can easily get…

If you're shaking from hunger after two hours, I would suggest maybe having your blood sugar checked if you haven't already. It is a slight possibility you could be pre-diabetic or diabetic and don't know it. Or, you could be undereating. Or, it could be neither. I get like that. If I don't snack throughout the day, I get…

I was rather thin, developed an eating disorder and gained almost 60lbs, and then lost it again through MFP. Mine aren't saggy, at least that I've noticed, but I also didn't end up with any loose skin to speak of, either. Aside from stretch marks, my body is virtually the same as it was before I gained weight in the first…

That is soooo pretty!! And it looks fantastic on you! Can I ask where you bought it?

This little "mini" goal, or mini person, is motivating me :) I want to keep myself accountable and stay healthy and active this pregnancy so I can bounce back faster and be able to keep up with the little one ♥

Yes! I signed up for one two days after it started and quickly realized I was in over my head. Running 4 days in a row is nearly impossible with my work schedule, and I am just getting back into it after a few months off (first trimester of this pregnancy kicked my butt) so I know I NEED recovery days. I cancelled it in…

I said no to carry out at work, three days in a row. Which says a lot, because I'm pregnant and let me tell you, I want to eat ALL the things. The first day, it was a pizza and donut party. These were good donuts, too. From an actual bakery, not gas station or drive through. I politely declined the donut that was offered…

It doesn't taste anything like soap to me, though. Just awful.

This ^^^ I was going to comment but this explained it beautifully and there is no need. BMR is what your body needs to maintain its current state, if you are doing absolutely nothing. It's not what your body needs to stay alive.

Honestly...stretch marks. I had known that I was slowly and steadily gaining weight. I was kind of putting in a half effort to lose it, but the scale kept going up. One day, my upper arms were absolutely burning all day at work. Like, my skin was on fire. My stomach area, too. I got home and took my clothes off and saw…

Interesting... I have always referred to them as underhand/overhand pull ups. You learn something new every day!

Okay, here's one that's bound to be unpopular. Cilantro RUINS any food that it comes into contact with. If you put cilantro in it, even in the smallest amount, it is now inedible. Keep your nasty putrid weed away from my tacos, pico de gallo, salsa, etc :D

As long as its cooked and not raw, there is no wrong way to eat bacon. Give me all of it.

Curious what's the difference between a chin up and a pull up? I assumed that they were basically the same thing A chin up, do you just get your chin to the bar? And a pull up, over the bar? Please enlighten me! :)

Tomato soup & grilled cheese Corned beef hash with eggs and bacon Strawberry rhubarb crisp Zucchini bread Ham and butter sandwiches (my great grandma would feed them to us every time we went to visit, they were sooo good!) Cinnamon rolls from the package that exploded and scared the crap out of you when you twisted it to…

I don't crave junk nearly as much as I used to. I instead crave things like salad, smoothies, or certain fruits or vegetables. I also don't find much satisfaction in eating junk anymore. Even on days I let myself cheat without guilt, the greasy or fatty things that used to hit the spot just don't do it for me anymore. I…

I'm going to set my goal at 40 miles for March. I think I'm going to join a RunBet to keep myself accountable. I don't like wasting money so that'll push me to run more, lol. Slowly working my way up there. I don't think I'll ever make it to a full marathon (I work far too much to make time for the training, I don't know…

Do you have a dog? My local tracks allow dogs as long as they are leashed and you clean up after them. I don't know if this is the case with yours, but if it is, consider taking your dog or maybe borrow a friend's dog or a dog from the local shelter. They LOVE when people volunteer to take dogs for walks, and the dogs love…

Yes!! They all ask about the big secret and then when they realize it is no magic cure and they have to put in effort, suddenly its unappealing. Why, though?! It's such a simple concept, and the farther along you get, the easier it is to stick with it. If you want it so badly, go get it!

This!! I was trying to sleep the other night and my knee was bothering me. Achy and kind of hurt to move it, but uncomfortable no matter how I lay. I went running the next day and almost turned around immediately because of the knee pain. I decided to run through it, and two minutes in, my knee pain completely disappeared…

I feel like I always make these way longer than they need to be :D Yesterday, I was treating myself to clothes shopping because I just got my tax return, and I wanted some new shirts. I'm almost 15 weeks pregnant and I've taken a little bit of a hit to my self esteem because none of my clothes are fitting me right, and I'm…

Believe me, I've tried so many different biscuits. From all over the country. Flaky buttery ones and Southern ones alike. My friends love them. They'll go on and on about how I'll definitely like this one. Nope. They all literally taste like chalk to me. I don't know what they put in them that I don't like, but biscuits…

We had salad on occasion, sometimes with dinner, sometimes AS dinner. My family are all huge salad lovers so we always had it in the house. I would say I ate it maybe once or twice a week. I still do. We do eat it before dinner if we go out to eat, though. Every single time. Even buffets.

I personally think its more about variety than it is about which one is better for you. Some people, myself included, hate peanut butter. I like it with chocolate, honey, or in baked goods but that's about it. The taste and texture, even with crunchy peanut butter, is just disgusting to me otherwise. Now, almond butter? I…

EXACTLY why I run with two dogs. Sometimes I carry, too. One of my dogs is fairly small (about 22 lbs) and not very scary. The other one is closer to 60 lbs and very reactive to men (acts like he will tear them apart) so its a good deterrence.

Did you get it online or have it made? My husband has a lot of Swedish and Scottish and he wants a kilt SO bad. We go to a lot of heavy metal shows and he's always insanely jealous of the men we see there rocking them.
