Perfect.

Agreed! Makeup always makes me feel better, so no judgment here. (I, however, don't wear makeup to the gym unless I already have it on for work or something. Then it's always gone by the end of my workout!)

1. Do your research. Know about the company because they will always ask, "Why Subway?" 2. Wear a nice polo shirt and slacks/khakis. 3. Have a question to ask them, such as about their training/mentoring program. This is good advice. I always ace interviews. I always get the job.

Kraft macaroni and cheese! I used to crave that orange gooey goodness, but now it sickens me.

My doctor recommended 160 as a goal weight for me.

You can also make your own tahini. I toast the sesame seeds and then grind them up in the food processor with a little bit of olive oil.

My boss always jumps into the pool immediately after a workout. SO NOT OKAY!

I never hold a water bottle when I run! It throws off my rhythm. I just make sure to drink water consistently all morning before I go, then I replenish when I am done running.

Your shoes are totes adorbs! :-P

I adore their mahi mahi burgers.

I can't figure out how to upload pics!

Nope! But I am year of the dragon, and that is sooooo eerily accurate.

This has happened to me maybe 2-3 times, always when I was at my heaviest. Since I didn't know the person asking, and would probably never see them again, I'd just smile and say, "I"m due in June." Haha! It was easier and less embarrassing for everyone involved. Once, in a grocery story, a girl came up to me and said,…

"When you look at a box of food, the nutritional information is usually based on 2000 kcal/day and is known as a DV (Daily Value). This information is from the RDI (Reference Daily Intake) info which is regulated by Health Canada and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The RDI is suppose to give sufficient requirements…

Sleeping in feels like such a waste of time! A nap, on the other hand, doesn't. I don't know why.

One of my students (who is still learning English) told me, "You look skin!" It took me a few moments to realize that she meant "skinny." Haha!

You don't have to go to the gym to work out. If you have the money, invest in your own treadmill or elliptical. Or walk/jog/run around your own neighborhood. Ride a bike. Get a workout DVD and do it at home. Then when you are feeling more confident, you can join a gym -- or not!

My 9th grade biology teacher described it this way: as the air passes through your intestines, it picks up molecules of the (ahem) poo that it passes. When the air is expelled, those tiny poo particles are released into the air, and that's what you smell. So your gas smells like poo -- which is stinky no matter what you…

"... don't be too intimidated, I took human biology in high school so I know what I'm talking about." HAHAHAHAHA! I really hope you are joking.

During my first year of teaching high school, the stress and 60-hour weeks took a toll on my health and weight. I lost 10 pounds, then gained 20. One day, one of my tactless teenage students said, "We think you are having a baby because you just keep getting bigger and bigger!" Unfortunately, it was true.

Congratulations first of all, but -- you're an incredible writer!!

I'm in!!! I need to lose 40 pounds overall, but this is a good micro-goal.
