That's not fair. I'm sure she was very thankful for the gift. Many women prefer something personal over something functional. That doesn't make her a "picky little princess". Men are typically the opposite. You live and learn, that's why he came here to ask for ideas.

apron and oven mitts? :wink:

I would think there would be some way to work around it. What if your husband wanted a new phone for Christmas?

I'm not sure but I didn't have a problem when I upgraded my son's phone. Somehow I'm on the account, since I get the bill. But I don't have a phone with AT&T so the texts go to my wife's phone.

I can't be the primary. We have different providers.

I think I could pull that off. I can actually take her phone with me when I upgrade the phone. I'll tell her I want to use her Red Laser and Price Check apps while I'm out Christmas shopping. If the text doesn't come within a few hours, I can de-activate her texts. She doesn't get many texts so I doubt she would notice.

You may need to explain to the younger posters what a "tape player" is. :wink:

It's the day that marks the beginning of Tony Romo's annual collapse.

Couples that sit on the same side of a booth. My drive thru order being wrong. When a guy uses the urinal right next to mine and there are others available. People that swear around my kids. Noone vs. No one People that take up 2 parking spaces because their car is just too cool. When I can't find the remote. Paying to…

This my routine as well. We run the 8 mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and then eat, sleep, and watch football the rest of the day. It's the best day of the year.

At my kid's school I can put restrictions on what they can eat. Each food item is designated with a green, yellow, or red color code and I can limit their choices to only green or only green or yellow or I can also limit them to just one red food per day. The possible restrictions are endless. I can also go online and see…

Don't worry about your diet so much during the holidays. Instead, set an aggressive fitness goal and work your tail off. Train for a January 10K or aim to shave 1 minute off your time. Push yourself to reach a previously uncompleted goal and you won't feel bad about eating a few extra cals. The gyms are packed after Jan 1…

We met playing softball and she couldn't stand me. She stood me up on our first date but I didn't let it deter me. Been married 13 years.

I can't stomach the gels. For a half I just drink the Gatorade they hand out. Most full M's nowadays have some sort of food handout in the latter stages. I really like the little Snickers. But I never bring any food along, just take what they give. I also don't take the beer from HHH at around mile 20.

Your still in the beginning stages. Your cardiovascular system has not caught up with your muscular system. This is the reason for the breathing issues. If you really want running to be 'easy', you need to become a runner and not simply somebody who runs. When you can run 3 miles without stopping, you need to slowly add…

Drink your water ice cold. It takes 17.5 calories to bring ice water to body temperature. If you did nothing else all year, you would lose over 7 lbs just by drinking 8 glasses of ice water every day.

+1 I like to run after work. The quiet solitude of running outdoors on a fall evening gives me time to unwind and transition from the office to home.

As long as you aren't eating during those extra awake hours.

Dumping him is the wrong move. Of course he's threatened. He loves you just the way you are and doesn't understand why you are trying to improve your appearance. How would you feel if he told you he wanted you to lose weight? How would you feel if he told you that if you left him for somebody else he would be OK? What if…

Life seems to throw changeups when we are expecting fast balls. We all have bad weeks and it's OK to be disappointed. When you have a bad week and it DOESN'T bother you; that's when you should be alarmed.

I'm responding from a hotel in CA. I'm on day 5 of an 8 day business trip. I bring enough clothes for half my trip and always plan on doing laundry at the halfway point. So for this 8 day trip I brought enough clothes for 4 days plus what I wore on the plane. Workout clothes are usually made of light material and don't…

That's a good thing. Ever heard of Non-Excercise Activity Thermogenesis? It's basically burning additional calories outside the gym. One of the activities is to simply be cold (temperature-wise). Being cold burns 3-7% more calories than being comfortable. You could be shaving 100 calories per day by just being cold all the…

What is your training schedule? Are you doing a weekly long run and do you find you have an unquenchable hunger the day after? This isn't all that uncommon among runners.

My house. I'm running the 8 mile Turkey Trot in the morning and then eating whatever I want. Thanksgiving only comes once a year and life's too short.

Mine is open to everyone and I will accept all friend requests. Just keep in mind I'm a human being. Sometimes I eat Oreos and some days I watch football all day.

Larry the Cable Guy I can't even watch Cars with my kids.

Lore of Running by Tim Noakes is the Bible of running. But it is very detailed and not a casual read.

Hello, I just joined MFP this week. Is this a female only group? I'd like to join if it's not too late.

3 weeks isnt a long enough sample size to determine if your program is working. Your initial success was probably H2O loss. Keep at it and see where you are in a couple months. Make adjustments from there.

Do you take suppliments and if so what are they? Do you drink or eat anything during or prior to your workouts? I used to get headaches in the summer but they would go away when I went to the gym or running. I figured out that the Gatorade I drank during my workouts was getting rid of the headaches. You may be low on…
