I went back to school, hoping to find more intelligent life forms. I am shocked, on a daily basis, by the conversations that I hear and take part in.

I guess starting today I am self-conscious about the way I dress!! I used to have an office job, which I dressed appropriately for, but I've never been a fashionista. I'm now back in school, about to graduate, and my teacher indirectly told me that I need to make an effort to look nice during my job interviews. No…

Oh, Kelly, you did not blow it!! We know our kids, but our kids also know us. You said nothing mean, you were just straight honest with her. I understand you being bummed about her being not-completely-ecstatic regarding your reaction, but you are a good mom and I'm sure she loves you just the same. If you feel completely…

Sonofa.........

This!! Thanks for posting -- eggs got a bad rep for a long time. They just want to be loved. So.... I love them. :)

Sun -- 2 miles run Wed -- 5 miles run Sat -- 5 miles run Total -- 12 miles Kind of another slacker week from me, I'll be picking up the mileage a bit here soon!!

I'm a grab and go-er myself. I don't like a big breakfast, so I usually do banana, string cheese, and coffee. Hard boiled eggs are great, too. Good carbs, protein, and caffeine. They make the world go 'round.

I toss mine in italian dressing and grill it with red bell peppers. Yum-mazing!

You never know until you try!! A lot of people on here swear by splurge days. I personally can't do them because I would just use it as an excuse to roll myself in a vat of crisco and chocolate, after which the downward spiral of my demise would be sure to follow.... You know yourself best, try it out and let us all know…

Everyone has their vices. I would say there are a lot worse things for you than Diet Soda, but agree with most of the above posters that the stuff in it is not the greatest. That being said, if I have a craving for one, I have one. I consider any soda, diet or regular, a 'treat'.

Sorry I am late!!! Not a whole lot to add.... :( Tuesday -- 2 miles Wednesday -- 3 miles Friday -- 2 miles Total: 7 miles

I take the gummies!! The regular pills tend to make me feel nauseous about 20 minutes after I take them.

These sound amazing. Also? You are too cute for words. :)

What an amazing accomplishment! And you finished WAY under your goal time. :) Awesome job.

Sunday - 4.75 miles Tuesday - 3.5 miles Wednesday - 2 miles Thursday - 3 miles Saturday - 3 miles Total - 16.25 miles

Do you like to read? I think education is a huge factor in what we will or won't try. Pick up a Michael Pollan book -- The Omnivore's Dilemma, or In Defense of Food -- and you will learn WHY it's imperative that you make smart food choices. My husband used to be a lot like you, don't worry, you can train yourself to like…

Bump! I am in a similar position. Interested to see what people say. I've been doing a little reading, and I don't feel the starches you mentioned are necessary, but I'm hoping someone with more education can enlighten us!!

Okay, I just BUSTED up laughing at work! This sounds like something that would happen in my household.....

Amazing!

Aw, now I'm smile-crying at work!!! :) High five.

I drink tea or coffee -- nice and warm and not too calorie-laden. Also? I made a resolution to floss every single night this year. This makes me NOT want to eat afterwards, so I do my dental ritual early -- and I spend a lot of time on it -- so I don't want to eff it up by eating afterwards.

Bump! This is better than a movie!

:) I've been married for 4 years, with my husband for almost 10, and we have gone through this patch before. He is amazing, absolutely amazing -- but yes, all plans were my plans. All adventures were my adventures. All changes were my changes. I realized this about 5 years ago and it started eating at me. I'd get resentful…

I can't wait until my husband gets home from work...... :)

I have caught myself in the kitchen, alone, and next thing you know I'm standing in front of the refrigerator with the door open, literally pouring shredded cheese into my mouth. Finding some of it in my cleavage later on that day is always a special reminder that: "Yes, Jenny, you actually DID that." I'm a horrible closet…

She's amazing. If he likes her, he may like Nickel Creek as well -- she personally trained the female vocalist in that group. I own their album 'This Side' -- check out the song Green and Gray :)

I love love love all of these songs! Good call. Florence makes me move!

Push It -- Salt N Pepa (seriously, you have to have a sense of humor, though....) Also? Sugar -- System of the Down Look At Me Now -- Chris Brown 6 Foot 7 Foot -- Lil' Wayne

Sunday -- 3 miles Tuesday -- 5 miles Wednesday -- 4 miles Saturday -- 3 miles Total: 15 miles
