This is exactly what I wear and works really well for me. Your feet will never slip, but small suggestion : once you turn the water off, before exiting the shower, raise your legs at 90deg (bending at the knee) after the shower to "empty" the little water that remains trapped on the bottom of the sandal...I forgot to do…

Francophone Montréalaise habitant à Toronto depuis 2 ans.

NHL - HABS (Canadiens) MLS - Impact (Montreal) Montreal girl who got transferred to Toronto...I guess there are things that just stick regardless of where you live!

Mazda Protege 2001 - Silver I bought it new, but had no money for any options nor to have it be an automatic. I remember the salesman saying "Miss, do you want to go for a test drive?" and his face when I answered "no thank you, I don't how to drive standard(stick-shift)." Went with a friend to get the car and he spent the…

In the US (I'm in Canada), there are 2 with my full name and only 1,827 with the same last name as me. Can't say I'm too surprised as it's French in origin.

It's the first time I notice that the UK uses many of the same words as we would in French (for all those that don't speak French, you've just learned 3 words!). Same goes for the post about hearing the word "niche" in a business meeting...yep, there is no "t" in there: it's niche (pronounced neech). Only spent 1 day in…

I always have the impression of getting "a look" from some people at the gym.... I tend to think it's because I look terrible: I'm very fair skin and when I'm at the gym, I go all out: there is nothing "pretty" about it. This means I'm the one with the red almost purple face that is sweating faster than I can wipe my face…

This. During my first session with my current personal trainer, we spend most of the time just discussing my goals (not his: MINE. But he did provide great input). I told him I'd do cardio on my own and he simply gave me suggestions on frequency/heart rate/type. As for our sessions, I explained I wanted to use more free…

I'm just shy of 5'10''. My biggest was on January 1st 2011 at 193lbs and a size 14 (which was tight). On my own through tracking what I ate and cardio, I was down to about 170lbs (23lbs loss) and a size 11pant in Oct 2011. In January 2012, I started with a trainer because I wanted to start gaining muscle and reducing my…

Eliza (since you got skipped) : The one where your head is resting on his shoulders...you just have that serene look about you.

Good guess! I'm an Operations Manager (automotive)

Wow...My jaw just dropped reading this! Mine seem insignificant after this. Probably 3 that qualify as really bad in my book: 1. Blind date (internet). We meet up for a drink in the afternoon and as soon as we sit down on the terrace, all he does is stare at me. I try to start a conversation a few times by asking light…

Wow! Fantastic transformation!

About 550Miles - Brampton, ON to our cottage about 1hour West of Quebec, QC. Only stopped for gas. You can plan on doing any long distance, but make sure that if you are too tired, I don't care if you have music blasting, windows open, drinking coffee/energy drinks like crazy: STOP. Be honest with yourself. There is no…

I am just shy of 5'10'' Sizes vary per store, so I use jeans as a measurement of clothe size since I still wear the same brand and style. I was 193lbs (Jan 1st 2011) Size 13 I am now 157lbs Size 4 I was a size 8 at 165lbs in January 2012, but although the scale has not moved much, I started weight training and the inches…

Smiling, not laughing, I promise! :) I never really had a "boy band" phase, but about 8-9 years ago, Depeche Mode came to Montreal and my sister and I just had to go! Now that brought me back....

That's hilarious! All of my family comes from Quebec and many of them don't really understand English that well or even not at all (we're all French speaking). Anyways... I'll always remember about 15 years ago when I came into my aunt's house and there she was with my two young cousins (about 6 or 7years old) singing…

Sorry.... OK, I have another, oh wise one: Women that can handle a hammer, jigsaw, etc....basically, if she can do home renovations (I'm not talking painting a wall here, but building it): sexy, you could not care less or an alternative for cheep labor if you date her?

Thanks for your comment. In my case, I ended up being the sole breadwinner for a while and he felt emasculated and as a result I was almost feeling bad for earning what I did (which I worked hard for). I ended the 2 year relationship, but found that even on the dating scene (I'm single), it sometimes ended up being the…

You work at the gym? Then I'm so, so, so sorry: you're screwed. Gym bunnies or "want to be" gym bunnies are a tough breed.

1 word: iPod (it works for me...also perfect on a plane when my neighbor wants to chat non-stop, show me pics of their kids or talk about their religion)

Wow, forgot all about the compilations! I had one of the Grammy Award Nominee ones (just can't remember the year), but I remember having a few "Bring on the Hits" volumes. Anyone remember those?

Since you are offering your point of view, I'll take you up on it: Is it really an issue for a man if his girlfriend makes more money than he does? (obviously excluding the guys that just want to use you for your cash...been there).

Burpees, Manmakers and push-ups....and since I hate them, my trainer makes me do more each time I complain about them! (although I must say they give great results....I still hate them....but great results.lol)

That's a good idea, I should of thought to add "First Concert". Mine was Sting (at the old Forum where the HABS used to play...for those who like hockey)

Gym: Adidas Climacool, Nike (pants-the Legend series), Running Room (tops) Hiking: Arcteryx, Icebreaker

I grew up eating it and still love it. It's true that different brands taste very different and vary in texture. But if you really don't like it, move on...

Because my list was not long enough :) I forgot: - People that grind their teeth (the sound makes me cringe) - Cracking of bones/joints (like those who keep making their fingers crack...)
