I used to love gym time! I looked forward to that hour and a half away from the fam but I didn’t like all the dilly dally I did leading up to it, trying to fit it in. I turned back to running and doing ab routines ( chloe ting anyone??) and jump rope!!! I honestly can’t see myself going back to the gym at this point now…

Fixing breakfast burritos with all the fat it can stand!

@seepersaud and @ReenieHJ, hello fellow introverts! People drive me nuts too, haha! Actually, it’s not PEOPLE so much as it’s my not being able to comfortably be around them without looking like I’ve got ants in my pants and need to bolt! I get sooooo anxious just thinking about what to say.... anyway, no need to vent…

Lemme clarify, I DO respond if the questions are legit fitness based

Wait a second, I accept FR all the time and have no intention of updating my diary or letting others see my diary, or even answering the private messages some requesters ask me. I just accept the FR bc it’s the nice thing to do and then I move on.

@fstrickl, LOVED Llewyn Davis!! Not sure Oscar can do anything wrong. Even a cheesy one like Mojave had me hitting replay a few times ☺️

@Joy_stick79, yessss to Baby Driver! Have you seen DRIVE? Great music, great movie.

Mask debating is best when shared

Trying to figure out how to delete my post in shower thoughts! Whhhyyyyy???? This is why you don’t drink and text

I like pretending I’m making a youtube tutorial, “ okay so what we’re going to do now is work our hair into a frothy lather and pile it on top of our head so we can shave our legs without our hair getting in the way....make sure to use enough conditioner for a smooth nick free shave and we can rinse all at once...” or…

“Nothing is more disruptive to my workouts than having to stop and pull my pants up every 15” @ssurvivor, this part got me right away! When I’d be running down my street I could literally feel them inching down my thighs.... so I figured out a way to stop it. Try and see if it works for you.... I wear them WET now!…

Check out Pantyraid, MTNS, Bookashade Station on Pandora plays a bunch of this trance type music that is perfect for long focused cardio sessions. No words, just beats.

@lyndseylee143, you sound very genuine and sweet natured. You also sound like an introvert which I COMPLETELY identify with. I’m pretty awkward in social situations unless I have a few drinks before I walk in so I tend to avoid all parties!! This COVID situation has not been an adjustment for me, put it that way, so I hope…

@joolspen3942 , Hi!! I have a similar situation with a 1490 calorie goal and I burn 500 calories a day and it gets added into my daily goal. I only eat 350 or so of those calories back and bank the rest for the weekends when I tend to eat much more!

Yikes, I’m wayyyy too much of an introvert for accountability buddies, gym mates, meet ups, basically anything involving anyone else I have to deal with for exercise or diet! I know how to control my calories by looking at MFP and adjusting, and when I go up or down, do I really need someone chiming in about more protein,…

Watching cobra Kai S1:E7. I’m effing obsessed !

@LeannJeffers , I am so so sorry. I cannot fathom the heartache. Thank you for taking it the way I’d intended and cheers to “becoming.” That’ll be a fun process👠

@LeannJeffers, I’m sorry you are feeling like this. It sucks! And I swear I’m not over here on my high horse trying to tell you what to do! I’m just telling you what I do, that’s it. I’ve been married for 27 years and we have three teens now. I’ve been married my entire 20’s and 30’s and almost through my 40’s now and I…

Drinking while checking MFP comments and commenting on wayyy too many threads

@Reckoner69_lmao , your Dave stories were awesome and made me chuckle. I know a Dave with narcolepsy too but instead of milk It’s Fortnite

WHY ISNT CHRIS STAPLETON MORE OF A HOUSEHOLD NAME than LADY GAGA?

@hibaq1994, I don’t have a “ plan” nor do I weigh everything or log every little thing. All I do is lace my shoes and walk out the front door. Doing that consistently makes my body kind of “trained” to want it every day. That consistency is what helps me make good choices. The daily exercise is what I shoot for. Everything…

@jaroby , I’m a former homeschooling mom too! The last one is 16 so she doesn’t “ need me “ anymore in terms of schooling, taking jr. College classes. I remember those days and I’m just like you in terms of feeling the intensity in my joints and back, which is why I cut way back on intensity. Just as an update though, I…

@jaroby, I understand! I’m 47 and have three kids myself. Granted, they are all older now (16,18,21) where I don’t need to run my schedule around them but I had to reduce my intensity due to old age! My body just can’t do the 50 miles a week running I was doing ten years ago. I’m now on 25 miles a week and MOST of that is…

What I love most is the high I get to keep with me the rest of the day! I can have a rotten attitude leading up to it, trying to come up with any tiny little reason NOT to have to do it, all while I’m lacing up and pairing my headphones! Ten minutes into that run I am always so glad I chose discipline over my whiny inner…

And we can run away Swimming in the sunlight everyday.... This is my mantra for the long weekend, cheers!

@Reckoner69_lmao yessssss! Love love love this movie! Had to rewatch just to get that good belly laugh goin

@Reckoner69_lmao , watched Vampires last night. I liked it in a funny way but I was hoping for less vampire killing and more vampire storyline, ya get what I mean? Maybe you’re right about the Anne Rice era... I should stick to that! 😏
