Well, I just wanted to see where you lived first. If you're not within an hour radius I'll leave you for the other lovely MFP singles in your area. :laugh:

I totally thought OP was single and sent a friend request. I guess that proves the point though. :-P

Try MarksDailyApple.com It's technically "primal" but for me it is far more sustainable than strict Paleo. I love the diet, and I do great when I stick with it. Calories do still matter, of course, but I love cooking my Paleo dinners.

At first I thought you said children... tee hee hee.

I guess it depends on how big the sausage is.

I used to loathe this growing up, but ironically, Oklahoma has let it's overly-conservative foot UP (not down) on dress codes. Found out today my daughters shorts code is "if you can bend over and touch your toes without the panties showing, you're fine." When I was a kid it was 2 inches over the knee, which is impossible…

You should check out the "Magic Wands" Teenage Love... somewhat similar. A little dirtier.

My new thing is The Pretty Reckless, Heaven Knows. LOVE IT!

29? I'm 31 now.

When people say things to me, I can't understand what they are saying and assume it is a cat call, which for a fat 30+ single mom, puts a big smile on my face.

Besides, if you could make a size 20 look like a 10 in Spanx he'd have a point, but spanks really don't change anything except an inch if that, so it's not even an entire size. He's just upset. He's going to need time. I was angry with all men for a bit after my break up, I think it's pretty normal.

Oh ya... don't forget your "roommate" who is totally your mom!

The struggle is real.

I'm so glad my religion has divination for weird unknowns like this. I guess ask God to show you a sign? There are Angel Tarot cards... is that allowed? I know each Christian is a little different on how much pagan they let in.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE MY VEGETTI!

Hang in there, keep going.

Cuts: Wake up later so you can go to bed later. (7am) Skip "Wind down" and that gives you an entire hour daily 9:30pn-10:30pm to do an extra bit of working out. You'll need to bathe later and workout earlier, but you can switch those times up.

You could try to rotate the washing and the cooking. If you cook double batches, than eat leftovers the next day, and the same with the washing (if you keep it clean it should stay pretty clean, especially if you're not cooking every other day). That would clear up about four hours a week. I feel you. I get mad if I can't…

For the long term you could look at working closer to home, but jobs like that can take years to find a good match, and that idea isn't going to help you train for your run in September.

It's also worth noting OP is working un-godly hours. If you making the bank you deserve to be making with those hours, hire someone to come clean your house and do laundry so you can workout. You could almost afford a cook and a maid at your house part time working +60 hours a week. I used to have a girl do my mommy…

Anyone with kids has done it, and it was no fun. Did you really enjoy stumbling into work or driving half asleep? How about that wonderful appearance of being strung out on drugs, all your money was missing to match the dark under-eyes! None of us did. We did it and we rock for it, but that's supposed to be temporary, not…

Also... I don't know how the PTO works at your work, but right now I'm setting on almost 150 hours. That's enough for me to leave work an hour early everyday until the end of the year if I chose. Maybe you can take a paid hour off work 3x a week for the next few months to get you moving while you think about other options?…

I don't agree with the sleep comments... I don't function well if I'm lacking sleep. Sleepy can equal hunger, depression, sadness... all kinds of crap that can be easily avoided by sleep. But I do agree that you have to find time if you want it. I have a boyfriend, I'm a single mom, I have two jobs, and I run two groups.…

Re-filling 1 gallon and 5 gallon jugs creates almost zero waste in landfills. I only replace them once every few years. Then I pour the water from my big jugs into my stainless water bottles or a glass. If I had to live off tap I could, if I boiled it, let it set etc.. etc.. etc.. But it's 2014, I have a full time job and…

It's only $0.25/gallon in Norman, if you re-fill, so yes there is an expense, but I can assure you it's less than the cost of a nice imported beer monthly. :drinker:

How do you feel when someone brags about their weight loss in front of you, and they weigh less than you?

$315 per month on average for 2 people plus my boyfriend eating over a lot. ETA that does not include household goods or personal care items.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Maine. Where r's are o's and FIRE is FIO!

This thread piqued my mac-n-cheese craving as well, so I used the Veggetti to make squash pasta, than added cheese sauce made from butter, cheese & cream. Nom Nom Nom Nom Not 42 kcal. Maybe 450 for a gigantic serving.
