I giggled at that. Picture a 6" metal baton that extends to 26". I just always have called it an ASP.

Thank you - that's probably your best line of defense. Dang wish I thought to mention that. I can't recall how many times I've jogged past a parked car and crossed the road to be on the other side in case there was a lurker.

I'm encouraging people to be safe. I wouldn't advise doing anything that anyone is unprepared for, but I carry what I have been trained with. My prerogative. I just know that there's been a ton of cases of abductions/injuries/assaults/rapes/murders in my area and I don't want to be a victim.

^^^ Loving your personal best! Get it! Me so far: Sunday: nope Monday: neh-eh Tuesday: 1.8 Wednesday: 4.6 Thursday: 2.7 Total 9.1 miles. Need to get in an average of 3 miles tomorrow and Saturday to break even. I gotta get my *kitten* out of bed early enough to do it in the morning!! I slept in today and didn't get my…

Sunday: none Monday: none Tuesday: 1.8 miles Wednesday: 4.6 miles Total so far: 6.4 miles Found the most awesome trail earlier today and am hoping I can hike it again maybe either later today or tomorrow morning before work. It's about 1.25 miles long, so there/back is about 2.5 miles and it's beautiful.

I'm done for the week! Sunday: 3.5 miles Monday: 2.7 miles Tuesday: 2.3 miles Wednesday: 3.5 miles Thursday: None Friday: None Saturday: 2.5 miles Total: 14.5 miles Calling it .5 miles short this week considering I was down with a tummy bug. No excuse, I know.

Sunday - 3.5 miles Monday - 2.7 miles Tuesday - 1.8 miles (so far) So far this week I've accumulated 8 :) Yayness!

#1: I love these threads. #2: I love that you message me about joining each thread, you are awesome, Reese! #3: Yes, I'm in again! Thank you!

Isn't it ridiculous how high in calories their stuff is? I try to tell the hubs all the time not to stop there, but he's a cop and they get anything they want free when in uniform. *le sigh* Men, they never learn. For me though, I'm not a huge fan because I'm more of a plain-Jane coffee lover. I like it either just black,…

I'm always around for support - I love this site! Feel free to add me if you'd like, I'm no expert at this but I am a good encourager! Side note: My son (7 years old) just told me I need more Iron in my body so I can live a better life. See, it even rubs off on family members! LOL

Sunday - 5.6 miles Monday - 0 Tuesday - 5.4 miles Wednesday - 1.5 miles Thursday - 0 Friday - 2 miles Saturday - 1 mile Total - 15.5 miles BARELY made it this week. I blame TOM onset. :(

I'm usually the opposite: happy in the morning and grumpy in the evening. No idea if there's a correlation to it or not, but I know that the morning is my "me" time when everyone else sleeps in and the evening I'm usually busting my butt trying to do stuff for everyone else. *raises bottle of water* Here's to a better day,…

I love it!! What a sweet husband and an amazing way to wake up! Good for him and I'm so proud of the both of ya!

#1 - sorry you had to deal with that! #2 - that was completely unprofessional of that person to put it that way, regardless. I would ask to speak to their supervisor if that ever happened to me!! #3 - not had that happen to me exactly, but where I work (at a veterinarian hospital), we deal with all manner of people who…

Sunday - 5.6 Monday - nada, came home with a migraine. Tuesday - 2.8 so far and I still need to walk the dogs! Total so far - 8.4 woop woop!

Psychological warfare vs physical warfare. Both suck. People should just grow up, honestly. Just my two cents.

My hubs knows my weight but he refuses to tell me his. He's a pretty big guy. I'm guessing 330+. I have been suggesting he come walk with me but he never does. At least I cook very healthy meals, and we don't do fast food unless he goes on his own. Small steps.

Bumping and saving - this looks wonderful, thanks for sharing!!

Good to hear for me. :) Also, not to throw anyone a bone, but I put up this board just for general conversation. I will eat when I am hungry regardless of when other MFPers suggest I should eat because I listen to my body. So, please, this thread is meant for general amusement, not for others to suggest to me how to eat.…

^ This. I think it all started when I saw Labyrinth.

I had this problem earlier too. So, I got out all the fixins to make Devil's Food cupcakes with fudgy icing. Also took out a Heath candy bar, thinking I could crush it up and put it in either the batter or the icing and make it extra super delish. Figured, hey, I have 400+ cals left from today (I eat my exercise cals) so I…

Acquired myself 5.6 this morning already! Hoping to get back out there and do more, it is BEAUTIFUL outside today! Have a great day, everyone!

Me too! This past week's RWoC really pushed me to move my butt, so I'm game for another week! Thanks for the message too, Reese!

Girl, I remember that time you mentioned that if you ran about the house cleaning with "vigorous" effort, your husband would be asking you for a urine sample... it made me LOL. :) Thanks everyone for the input. I like how some people's methods will work for them, then other people have completely separate things that work…

Oh, no worries. I'm just curious as to everyone's opinions - I'm gonna do what I think is best for me no matter what, I just like hearing what other people say works for them.

Tried them once. Did experience that lovely side effect everyone keeps mentioning. Will NEVER do that again.

Water. But eyeballing the pinot grigio.

Lawtechie, not so sure I could get 40+ miles in during one week!! But I will get in as much as possible! Sunday - 2.6 miles Monday - 3.1 miles Tuesday - 4.4 miles Wednesday - 3.5 miles Thursday - nothing. Friday - 4 miles Grand total so far... 17.6 Woohoo! Hell I might hit 20! Thanks guys, this thread is kicking my fat!

Doesn't it feel good to go from 300lbs to seeing people comment on your after photo by calling you a hottie!??!? Well, you're now officially a hottie. You might also prefer stud muffin, Mr. Hottie McBody, beefcake, or mancandy. Congratulations and you are now a hero to all of us!!

I swear, I know when you post something, I can second it wholeheartedly. I was the same way (still am sometimes). It's like my brain thinks I have to finish something if it tastes good just because it tastes good. Maybe it thinks I'll never get to eat it ever again, I don't know, but I'm sick of it, too! <3 this thread!!
