I have gps feature with my jogging app, so I planned to track with that, and use a spreadsheet to keep my total mileage. I hadn't decided how long to run this for yet. I kinda wanted to see who was interested. I know not everyone is running (myself included) But I do walk/jog every other day. At two miles a day it would…

My husband's homebrew porter!

We have a joint account and rarely fight. We both put bills and needs before anything fun. We occasionally disagree, but things got much better after my hubby admitted he shops and buys things to make himself feel better. We went through a big purge of stuff/junk from our house and lives. Now we don't have that issue any…

We spend between $70 and $100 a week, depending on factors like: Are the chickens laying eggs, do the cat and dog both need food. Generally closer to $70. We also shop almost exclusively in the outer aisles of the store. Exceptions being the things they insist on putting in with the junk (just to tempt us) like oatmeal and…

Hey all! My name is Sarah. I was first introduced to John Green over the summer. I was working at a summer camp and ran out of things to read and found LFA for my kindle. I feel as though I have quickly caught up. I read, knit, and sew. I am part of a group of historical re-enactors, which takes up a lot of my time.

Looking forward to February!

I married my teddy bear! At his heaviest he was about 280. We're both eating better these days. I was causally dating when I met him. We hung out and I can honestly say I'm not sure why we connected so well, but I can say I was massively attracted to him. I likened it to getting hit by a truck while walking along minding…

100 done so far! More after laundry folding

Also remember they edit the show together to show drama. Yes they work hard and it seems like some of them are always complaining or crying or that Jillian is always yelling. It is highly unlikely that the edited together film that we see is true to life in every way. I do find inspiration in those who work hard and get it…

I use the Wii, exercise videos, and youtube, plus my public library offers yoga and zumba twice a week (for free). Plus I have a dog to walk and 5 acres to push mow during the warm months!

Kentucky Derby, Red River Gorge, Mammoth Cave, Moon Bows at Cumberland Falls (http://www.2geton.net/martin/moonbow/moonbowcloseup.jpg) and the Bourbon Trail!

Also, with more water comes the loss of vitamins (like potassium, c, ect!) They are "water based". So if you don't take a multivitamin you might want to start. I had an issue with "charlie horses" in the middle of the night for a while due to low vitamin levels.

I'd give it at least two weeks (6 days) It will be little things at first. Maybe not breathing quite so hard, or maybe your legs won't be so sore. Stick with it. If you can use music or a workout buddy to distract you and make it more fun. Be committed don't skip one of your workout days. You'd be amazed how fast your body…

Belly dance! Great cardio AND core workout! There are tons of dvds to choose from.

Welcome! Hope you are able to stick with it this time. Best way to success is to make it a lifestyle change and not a diet!

Be honest with yourself. I mean really honest. Don't lie to your diary about anything. Do the work, after a while it becomes habit. But diets don't work. If you can't commit to changing your habits, you won't be successful for long. If you have emotional hangups start working on those too. Lots of folks eat for emotional…

45 minutes on the wii tomorrow (calorie goal is 230) just bumped up from 190 last week.

Welcome! I've been here for just under a year. I've just started logging again after an extended break (day 11!) There's usually a group challenge of some kind around the first of every month. Sometime someone will post a daily challenge (so many pushups ect). Add me if you want.

I have been married now for 5 years. I did the wedding. My advice now to people who get engaged? Elope. Or rather don't do a huge wedding. I don't remember most of it, it was stressful, and not that much fun. Our photographer harassed me until I just finally told her to leave. The photos from our friends and family were…

Communication is necessary for a successful relationship. Talk to her, no one here is your girl, so it's all guesses. If you have a problem or concern talk it out.

Hey, I totally get it. I turned 30 in September. I did lots of crying the 2 weeks before. I can honestly say I have struggled with staying committed. I just finished a blog entry about what I figured out, and what I'm trying to do to fix it. I think the most important thing (IMO) is to figure out what is holding you back.…

Hi Sarah here. I am going to knit vicariously through the rest of you for a bit. I over did during the holidays and now have tendonitis in my left elbow and forearm. I have been knitting off an on since I was about 7. I really got back into about 5 years ago. I am in love with Jane Austen Knits (magazine) from Interweave.…

Done!

I want to have kids and be healthy enough to enjoy being a parent.

20 so far, will finish the rest yet today. Thanks for the challenge!

Can I make a suggestion that may help those of us getting books through our libraries? Can we select the upcoming book, so we can request it in a timely manner?

I love reading, probably thanks to my mother who was a librarian while I was growing up. My favorite genres are scifi/fantasy, but I read a bit of everything from YA to archaeology publications. I am a fan of S.M. Sterling, Frank Herbert, Tamora Pierce, and Jane Yolen to name a few. I am currently reading "The English…
