Yes. I'll log Christmas day just like I log the occasional Christmas cookie and just like I logged Thanksgiving. There are no vacations from a healthy life style and I don't know about you, but I've had enough of allowing myself to do something 1/2-way. Either I'm in it all the way, or I'm not. I've had 20 some years of…

I'm not friends with any of my ex boyfriends or my ex husband, but I'm not an enemy to them either. If I passed them on the street, would I say "hi, how are you?" Sure. But I feel that investing emotions in those relationships and further is a waste of the finate amount of emotional energy I have in my life. There are…

My husband is in the Navy and I KNOW he CAN'T wear his band at work. It's dangerous if it were to get caught in something, but he wears it outside of that. I wear my wedding ring. Feels weird when I forget to put it on during the day. I don't see people during the day really - I work from home and live alone while he's…

Way to go! Stronger + Lighter = Faster

Thanks for the suggestion! Dressed can take up to 10 weeks to come in - and allow for any alterations. Just food for thought! I'd aim for about 3 months out at least, just to be sure you're all set in time. :)

They are unruly, usually in the way, and seem to like to compete with each other. Reminded me more of 'boys' than 'girls'. One is slightly larger than the other, so specifically 'the boys' are 'Overachiever' and 'Underachiever'. ;)

WAY TO GO! Sounds like a great thing to get you on track. The BEST gift you can give each other is good health - when it's controllable. As a survivor of what was quickly becoming stage 1 ovarian cancer, I know how much your husband appreciates you being there for me, and I know he'll REALLY appreciate you taking care of…

Think of it this way - the worst thing they can say is "no" and you're back where you started - but with one less "what if" on your list. How does that sound? :)

Why is logging considered "stress"? It's just writing down honestly what you ate. That's it. The numbers that come up are just that - numbers. It's a tool to help you reach your goal of losing weight. If you don't want to use the tool, don't. But I don't "stress" about logging. I just log what I eat. It's as simple as…

I guess it depends on your body type. I didn't used to wear them until I hit my 20's. Then it HURT to have my boobs bouncing around while I am jogging/etc. lol But if your chief form of exersize is walking, you're probably fine. :)

Amazing! Way to take care of yourself! keep that motivation when you join the married club! : ) You can't take care of anyone else if you can't take care of yourself - after all, how can you give what you don't have? :)

Cup sizes VARY BY MANUFACTURER. It's SO annoying! In Cacique - I'm a C In Soma - I'm a D At Victoria Seceret - I'm a DD! So try everything on first. Honestly, I would go with 2 different bras. Personally, I like Champion products for running support. They aren't too pricey either For strapless, I have trouble with these as…

It's a very unique - artistic film and sort of an acquired taste. If you like films like Momento (heavy handed symbolism with a disorienting feeling) you'll enjoy this one.

In the Theaters - Paranormal Activity 3 - 4 stars. A worthy installment to the series, but was a tad disappointed. At home - Last night Hallmark's "Cancel Christmas" - 4 stars. Fun and just want I needed. A great reminder that it isn't about the stuff that is store bought, but in the sharing/giving from ourselves.

Don't have the Wii Fit,but I do have Just Dance 2 and Just Dance 3. LOVE THEM! So I'd say, if it makes you move, it's a good investment!

Ya know, when I was single I met a GREAT guy off Eharmony who happened to be 3 inches shorter than me. He was awesome. Though we didn't end up going beyond a couple dates, it broke me of that 'a guy needs to be taller than me' thing (which is equally hard to find when you 5'11 with shoes on and a woman!). Things I loved…

I learned that too! Confidence is sexy and when you feel like you look good. your confidence skyrockets! The good ones learn how to adapt. The bad ones get lost. ;)

Do you only have to have 1 theme? lol Our theme is "us". Really. I'm carrying a peacock fan instead of flowers, our centerpieces will probably be asian inspired, my gown is having Hidden Mickey's sown on it... So I guess it's just "us"! And since we're a cohesive team - I'm sure it'll come together beautifully in the end.…

Despite what hollywood would have us believe most men seem to PREFER girls w/ Curves. :)

It's not uncommon for relationships to change. My ex husband actually cheated on me when I lost enough weight to be at my goal. Why? Because he felt I was so self sufficient now that he didn't feel like "my hero" anymore. My world no longer revolved around him and I no longer was useless when it came to reaching for my…

You can run AT BOTH! In fact, if you run at Disneyworld and Disneyland IN THE SAME YEAR you get a special "Coast to Coast" medal which is AWESOME! I'm looking at the Princess 1/2 for 2013... MAYBE the wine and dine 1/2 in 2012, but it would be during my wedding week - not sure how much pressure I want to put on myself that…

Don't be afraid to get married during the week! You can save a TON of many and as long as it's in the evening, most friends and family will take the time off to come! :) (Ours is on a Wed or Thursday - since it's a destination, most folks will be there for a week anyway - but that's just us!)

HOPEFULLY October 18th of 2012, BUT that all depends on his deployment schedule. He's a submariner - which means communication is limited to the rare e-mail and that's it. We won't know until he gets back when we can solidly set the date. Family and Friends are chomping at the bit! I'd be happy to move it back a month…

I've had PCOS since 1998 and here's what I've found: 1) BALANCE. It's about moderation. I have no problem putting on muscle (due to the crazy hormonal imbalance) but losing WEIGHT is a struggle still. Yes, it's true - you'll lose a ton of weight if you stop eating carbs. But at the same time, you need to find a balance…

I always said I was sedentary too - afterall, I sit to work for 8 hrs/day and then I might sit for another hour before bed. BUT I walk the dog about 3 times/day. I stopped losing weight neting 1200 calories. I stopped logging those everyday walks and moved it up to Sedentary, and started losing again. So I'd use what's…

Goals for the week: Work out a min of 5day/week to the tune of 250 calories. Eat a spinach salad EVERY DAY during at least 1 meal. Drink 6 bottles of water per day (total168 oz/day) Blog in my wellness blog 5 times this week!

Only like the vanilla unsweetened, but I never drink a glass of it. Have you tried some of the So Delicious Coconut milks? It does have a distinct nutty flavor to it, but the ice creams and other products (like nog) are awesome!

I'm sold! I love Beachbody programs!

It gets really cold in my office to (today it's around 40, but in the winter, it'll be worse). Have you tried just hot water with lemon or a drop of whatever flavor extract you prefer? I keep Peppermint extract and lemons around all the time. Fresh lemon in your water will give you vitamin C and iron - much needed for…
