I can completely agree with this. I LOVE spending time with my daughter. However, having someone to go to dinner or a movie with or even just sit at home a enjoy each other's company would be nice. I think it is only natural to miss the romantic aspect of being in a relationship.

Same. Other than one short dating experience (not so great either), I haven't dated in a couple of years. I am consumed with taking care of my child, church (Sunday and Wednesday), working a full-time desk job and as a consultant for Pampered Chef and trying to make myself find time for the gym. I would love to have…

Think non-traditional breakfast foods. It is not rare for me to have turkey, chicken, venison or any other meat with cheese, pickles, cottage cheese or roasted/sauteed veggies. I have even used a low-carb/high fiber wrap to make a fajita/burrito with chicken, multi-color bell peppers some cheese, hot sauce and greek yogurt…

I am from Alabama and there are some great men here. But as with everywhere, there are some who arent worth your time. I guess it just depends on what you consider respectful behavior. Some of what we consider the most disrepsectful here may make these men seem like gems elsewhere.

^^This seems to be accurate

Wow! Men like the one she expects do not exist. All of her "I don't likes," I actually appreciate. I have found the the good ole' blue collar, deer hunting men are the ones who are most attractive. (They just tend to get mad when the deer I kill is bigger than theirs.) I hope she gets a reality check one day and realizes…

I am signed up for both. I currently go to the gym when I can (which isnt often lately). I am 5'6 and weigh 208. I will do the warrior dash in October and the Spartan Sprint a few months later. I keep telling myself I have all summer to train but reality is I gotta get moving! I think you can definitely do this. I have a…

That sounds about right...That is alot of meat and a boston butt not only has a fat layer that renders while slow cooking, there is also fat marbled in the meat if that makes any sense. We smoke our boston butts and pull them while they are hot to get as much fat out/off as possible. Just log it and enjoy!

I'm in. Perfect timing as I have a goal to drop 30 pounds by the time I run a 5K on Labor Day. CW = 208 August 28 GW = 178 This summer I am committing to getting back in the gym several times a week and finish training for this race. Anyone please feel free to add me. I am currently just watching my calories and trying to…

I leave work at 5 as well. I pick up my little girl from daycare and we go straight to the gym several days a week. We eat dinner after we get home (it is usually 7:30ish at this point seeing as I don't arrive at the gym until 6)...I either have something in the crockpot OR if I am going to cook I do all prep work the…

bump for a day which involves a choclate craving

Bump for later :)

A few friends and I will be running in the one held in Birmingham on Labor Day

I'm in the Birmingham area.

I only drink the powdered kind. So I am not sure if the premixed is better. It's cheaper and more wallet-friendly for me to buy the big jugs of powder and mix it myself. But seeing as how I like the frothy/frozenness of the shake I mentioned earlier, I doubt I would like the liquid stuff.

I love Muscle Milk Chocolate flavored powder. I make it into a milkshake after my workouts as a super yummy treat. Combine the following in a blender and blend to the desired consistency: 10-12 ounces of 1% milk (you could use water or some other substitute I guess. I just prefer milk) 2 scoops of powder (this gives you 32…

Before I started cutting carbs, I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich every morning since I do not like typical breakfast foods in the morning. Now, I eat things like peanuts/cashews, sliced turkey and cheese rollups, a protein shake or some other low carb item that would normally be eaten at any other time throughout…

Definitely get your iron levels checked. I used to eat ice ALL the time and when I went to the doc I found out I was severely anemic. I had iron infusions (iron by IV) because mine was so low. Once my levels regulated, the urge to eat ice went away. I hardly ever eat a piece of ice now. Besides, its really bad for your…
