I get about 150 grams of protein a day and I haven't had an issue losing. MFP defaults are very wrong. I get my protein from eggs, egg whites, chicken, turkey, cheese, yogurt, and whey protein powder.

If I was to go by what I have been dating the last 6 months I would say Losers, lol. I don't know how I find them. Looks wise though ... no set feature. Pretty eyes I guess ... I'm an eye girl.

Some people think as long as they are in the gym they are getting the benefit and want to get out as quick as possible. They are burning "some" calories even if done in incorrect form but the camp should setup Spartan Race rules whereas if you can't complete part of the course in proper form, that's fine ... you just have…

New Years Day is my birthday so celebrate NYE every year. This year I'm going to a "classy as F*&k" Chive party. Dateless but should be a time anyway. Someday my Prince will show up for my midnight kiss. This year I am happy going solo though. :)

Just feeling kind of pressured to find someone, because I'm getting older ... I'll be 38 in a few weeks. Friends think I should be out there finding my person. I kind of got fed up with men this summer as all that I was finding were head cases ... and I was falling for it. Just need a break to figure out what I want, but…

He knows, lol

I have exercise induced asthma and it get really aggravated by the cold. I have the actual asthma under control but on cold days it's really hard to get my breath. I have had to get something to cover my nose and mouth when I run in the cold weather to be able to breathe on my runs. You can get a Buff or just use a…

I'm part of the selfish club too I guess because what you said you said above is me too. Geez. Can't win for nothing.

THIS made me laugh out loud! Haha

Tonight I am heading over to see my friends band play. Tomorrow is a long run training run (probably 20k or so) and then chores the rest of the day. Sunday is watching football. :) Have a safe one everyone whatever you choose to do!

I confess I can't wait until I'm at my goal weight and can send in a picture that looks amazing to the Chive of my *kitten* on hump day!

Find your carrot! lol. A trainer friend of mine from the gym gave me that advice before I lost 112 lbs. When he first said it to me I looked at him oddly. And he meant no disrespect, just he said "how do you get a donkey to move? You dangle a carrot in front of its face". He wasn't calling me a donkey ... it was an analogy…

Haha reminds me of the movie "Friends With Benefits" where they were either "emotionally damaged" or "emotionally unavailable". I've always hated having to answer this. I never know how. I'd like to say "because my ex is an idiot who would have rather been with an ugly, unemployed, hateful woman who has 2 baby daddies who…

Was a Fallen Angel for the bar party last weekend and today for work I did a Sugar Skull as my profile pic shows! Took me almost 2 hours to do my makeup but I love Day of the Dead makeup! :smile:

How have you found the HH? This is my first one.

I'll have my Lontra's in the next month so I will let you know for sure. There is no avoiding getting my feet wet here in winter.

I found the pain was there only a few days and then everything felt better than it ever had on a run. I find now if I wear sneakers, everything hurts. I'll stick with my Vibrams. :)

It's REALLY interesting you say this because my heart rate is always up in the 70-80% range. If I run at all ... even for under a minute my heart rate is up there. It's been looked at in the sports medicine clinic and my heart isn't going to explode or anything, lol ... or at least that's what they told me. Just I'm one of…

A friend inspired me to run and always being a non-runner and saying I couldn't run ... I started training the end of March for my 1st 10k I did in May. Didn't do much running over the summer then the start of September decided I was going to do the 1/2 marathon coming up less than 45 days later. I am a run/walker as my…

I am a minimalist runner and run in Vibram Fivefingers. I was using runners before I switched and find I am a better runner in my Vibrams. The only downside to switching is it takes a few days for your feet to get used to being in the proper positioning. My feet hurt the first few days wearing them. After that, I can't say…

I'm actually the opposite though. When I do a long run ... I am doing a long run training run of about 20k every saturday or sunday, when I get back the last thing I want to think about is food. It actually makes me sick if I eat so I might have a banana or something and some water but other than that, I eat incredibly…

I'm a new runner as of March and I have found the handheld water bottle my go to for my longer runs. If I don't have water, after km 15, my mouth is severely dry and I start to slow down. It's just a small, ergonomically desined bottle that slips on my hand and it's tight enough that I can keep my hands loose during my…

Haha mine too.

I've just gotten used to maintaining over the last year that I know what I can and can't eat and calories in what I do eat. I'm a very picky eater so am limited in my food choices which makes it easy to track calories in your head.

New runner as of March ... I am almost 38. Wanting to do the number of half's I do is fine as I am running a half in training every weekend. My body definitely is slimming down, but the scale is going up so maybe muscle?

I don't have my diary open because I'm not logging right now. Kind of foolish maybe, but when I had dropped the weight, I wanted to see if I could maintain without logging, and I was doing fairly well until I started running.

I'm not going to say it's a huge deal breaker but ideally I would like to be the first person that my future husband marries. I have never been married and I want the distinction of being the first and last person that he will marry. I'm not going to eliminate a guy if he comes along though thats a perfect match if he was…

Tonight going to see a friends band playing at a Haunted House for charity. Tomorrow I plan on doing a long run, and then my son and I are getting our flu shots, and curling up for some family movies. Sunday is taking a drive to do a hike to a really pretty waterfall with all the fall colors in the background, and then…

Back in June yes with a really good friend of mine, only we had a "one drunken night". Told him how I felt and got the "I don't want to ruin our friendship, I love our friendship" back from him. We pretty much stopped talking for about a month or so ... a casual "hey" here and there ... it was really hard but I'm glad we…

:sad:
