I also find this very helpful. I do hip thrusts. And also as simple as being aware of engaging the glutes in all activities such as walking (and dancing). The one thing I wonder is... Do you think there is significant benefit in adding the quadruped hip extension machine (often called something like the butt blaster)? Or…

I feel like these quotes sum up my opinion on this pretty good enough: Have fun. Enjoy people. Be creative. But, it just depends on what you want. Other people would say lots of other things. "The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters." ~Audrey Hepburn "Each friend represents a…

Haha...pickle rick....hahaha!!!!

Also kefir

I was eating 2 a day. Recently increased to 3 a day for more protein.

That's wonderful!

I haven't been in the forums forever. I had 700 notifications that I am not going to check. But, I will tell how I ended up on mfp. I'm a dancer. I have always been committed to health and fitness. I always explore new options especially as things change. Having children for example. Fitness is also a good outlet for my…

My husband likes it. He likes it as long as I like it. He doesn't like when guys are being too aggressive or creepy and bothering me.

I definitely agree. I like to flirt. And I like when my husband flirts too.

I think I already answered this long ago. But: face/eyes, voice, scent, certain personality traits like good social skills, perceptive, playfulness, confidence, sexual, the way they touch, hug, dance. Able to easily lift me (I'm light).

I had a fun experience with my husband the other night. We were out dancing together. A guy came up to my husband and said, "Marry her! You two are the happiest couple here. You have to marry that girl! Marry her!" My husband said, "Actually we have been married for 16 years. " Guy said, "Oh, no wonder you are so happy!"…

I saw a thing where people used a big grater to grate big strips of zucchini. And used it in place of pasta to make ravioli. Looked cool. For people that can't eat regular pasta. Used cheeses and tomato sauce.

I'm going to a Halloween party tonight. Wooooo!!! I'm excited! Going as cat woman and my husband is superman. Have another party next weekend (dark angel for that one). I love Halloween.

I also saw people wondering why people eat turmeric. It tastes good, so it makes my food yummier. But, it was suggested by my Rheumatologist as a possible way to reduce inflammation. For people with inflammation pain disorders. To help avoid meds. We are keeping me off meds as long as we can because I only developed these…

I have a malabsorption disorder. So, I have to be on a strict diet. It's challenging enough. So, I don't waste my time getting upset about this concept. How do I know if people have a medical condition or not? How do people know if I do? I get more annoyed by people that can eat whatever they want complaining about other…

I agree with these above comments. It's the same whether married or living together, or in a long-term committed relationship. The marriage only seems to change other people's perceptions (sometimes in good ways, sometimes in weird ways). Sometimes when I am out with my husband people refer to us as boyfriend and…

I really disagree with the people saying that behavior is creepy or uncreepy based on attractiveness. I have encountered many very attractive creepy guys that grab at my body when I am pushing them away, or say very forward things when I don't even know them, those are just a couple examples. And uncreepy guys become more…

Of course. People have babies (I have had two), get injured, sick, even depression, or major life stresses, get older, etc. Life is challenging and things are always going to happen, and always going to change. That's reasonable and completely different from intentionally deciding to let oneself go. I talked about that…

I don't think there is anything wrong with any marital arrangement, as long as both people are on board. I still think marriage will go better if you stay sexy for each other. That's just my personal opinion.

Yeah, I used to surprise my husband all the time with chocolate gifts. His favorite types and various chocolate peanut butter things. Until he wanted me to not always buy him so much chocolate.

The post right before yours was talking about feeding. The response is always going to depend on the relationship and roles. Different people have different roles and expectations or reactions based on previous experience. I said I would thank him, be appreciative, give a hug, and say I had decided I wasn't going to eat…

Depends on the context. But, if he has his hands on it and squeezing it, then it's definitely ok to say it at that point.

I know that not everyone is able to solve problems with communication. Some partners are unable or unwilling to communicate or to do so in a vulnerable and civil way. Some partners are abusive. Or selfish. Or self absorbed. Or content with things as they are. Or they have certain issues they find too difficult or painful…

I see. I understand that now! Thanks for explaining. I wasn't only referring to you, though. It was many series of posts that, as I said, I didn't completely understand or know how to respond to. And then an interesting conversation followed. I was just saying that it's pretty easy to have midunderstandings online. I was…

Personally, I was a bit taken aback when people were saying that no one ever has a happy marriage. And they are all lying. And a few people were all agreeing and even saying they say it directly to people. Personally, I really didn't know how to respond to any of that. It sets a negative tone to the conversation. I wanted…

I'm sorry you went through that. I was hit by a car on my bike at age 18, right before I went to school for dance. I was almost killed. I recovered. But, this is just one of many reasons that it's never easy. I dance because I love it. But, I have multiple different chronic pain and nerve injuries. :heart:

Absolutely. Every life has ups and downs. To expect otherwise would be setting oneself up for unnecessary disappointment by being unrealistic. In marriage you can be each other's support through difficult times. Those memories are one of the things that strengthens our marriage. That he was there for me in my most…

Agreed. There are lots of ways to: Not let oneself go, not give up on life, not be a non-person, give each other attention, have fun, boost neurotransmitters, not be depressed and cynical. If you want, and are on the same pages together. But, I understand it can't always work out. My heart goes out. Wish I had something…

Me too

I definitely relate and agree with this!
