ive also heard good things about foam rolllers. you have to move today. you must. taking a short walk will get that lactic acid moving and help you feel better. marathon runners often run a 10k the very next day to keep the acid from building up. the sooner you can go for a walk, the better you will feel. then take another…

a pair of new sneakers. this is weird, but i always feel a bit better when i wear new sneakers. or any new type of shoe i guess. i hope this doesn't mean i have a shoe or foot fetish, b/c i don't really like my own feet, or anyone elses either. just something about putting on a new pair of shoes or sneakers that gives me a…

this. drives. me. crazy. and i hate "been there, done that." i don't even like typing it!

what a wonderful day! congrats on all you have accomplished, both on and off the scale!

i asked my wife on a second date BECAUSE she ate. she got a cheeseburger and i was hooked. so yes, eat. i think a sandwich is a good idea. there is going to be silence. unless you chew with your mouth full. ask about his major, his high school, sports, latest movies, shows he watches on tv. not only will it give you…

you will know when you are ready. when i tried to get healthier and wasn't ready, i failed. that is my biggest difference this time around, and a key to my 65 pound weight loss since january... i was ready. you will know when you are ready. i can't explain how i knew, i just knew. good luck!

i don't know if this counts, but...took my son to soccer practice today. it was an hour long. instead of sitting there talking to people i don't want to talk to, or sitting and ignoring people, i did laps around the field for 55 out of the 60 minutes. got some unexpected exercise today, didn't have to listen to annoying…

september 10: 55 minutes walking total for september so far: 268 minutes

september 9: 25 minutes total for september so far: 213 minutes a fast walk tonight. my dog is exhausted. beautiful night out, had to take advantage of it.

i don't mind the compliment of looking good, i do, however, get annoyed when people ask how much i have lost. i don't know why it bothers me so much. or when people ask what my starting weight was. i don't have good answers for these, so i often tell the truth. it is embarrassing to say my starting weight and i think…

september 8: 63 minutes total for september so far: 188 minutes had to take a few days off due to going back to work. my whole body was sooooo tired. good luck everyone!

this. when i had knee trouble i used the arm bike at pt. it is a better workout than people think. good luck!

a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds!

wasn't a huge water drinker until i started mfp. now i drink a gallon a day. one of the things i found helpful was playing with the temperature of the water i drink. for me, room temperature is the easiest to drink. even in summer, it was always room temperature. i also found a glass that held about twice a regular glass.…

25 minute walk on monday, september 3 total for september so far: 125 minutes what about you?

asparagus pee is the worst! mine almost knocked me over the other night. then i woke up, did the elliptical without showering first (not sure that woulda made a difference) but my sweat stunk from the asparagus too. it was horrible and i almost had to stop my workout. as for the op, a friend in college had an eating…

nypd blue party of five prison break breakout kings if i like it on tv, it usually gets cancelled.

my water intake makes a huge difference for me. i usually drink a gallon a day, give or take a cup or two. i pee clear almost all the time. once it gets darker, i know i gotta up my water. it has made a big difference in my week to week weight loss too. i am at a point where i don't really need to count my glasses anymore,…

go buckeyes! how about grilling your wings? my wife makes a mean chili. tons of raw veggies. fruit kebobs. popcorn. O - H!

be careful grilling IN the house. i heard that's dangerous!

bump for more

sitting on top of the world with my legs hanging free sweet like candy to my soul. sweet you rock, sweet you roll. give me your hand and i'll take your heart. first kiss ever i took, like a page from a romance book. the sky opened and the earth shook.

absolutely awesome ladies! congrats!

a banana a day keeps calf cramps away.

as a teacher, this happens all the time. either kids bring in food for their birthday or the class next door has left overs from their party or whatever. i usually just take whatever i am offered and say i will eat it later, "as i just had a snack." then i usually toss it. or i keep a healthier alternative on my desk, say…

awesome job! like others have said, keep up the good work!

just got back from a two and a half hour hike. it was great. my feet are killing me!

took 11 pages, but instead of twins, we are triplets!
