Seriously? You guys can't take a joke? VD, aka, Valentines Day... Nevermind the funny of the meme, just focus on being too serious. Whats that phrase from that movie? Something about taking life too seriously and not getting out alive... :noway: Oh wait, I get it now... You were trying to be cool... shower me with your…

It's snowing, and I like to bake on snowy days, so I'm going to make raspberry granola bars. And no, not a healthy kind. The kind with butter and sugar in them. :bigsmile:

Like others have said- you just do it. And once you push yourself to do it, and do it regularly, you get into a routine. And then you start looking forward to it, because it feels good. I used to hate working out- I particularly hated cardio. I only liked activities such as skiing(downhill), swimming or hiking, because it…

Lots of good advice here so far... I guess how you deal with it depends on what you're able to handle. If you can quit the junk cold turkey, awesome... if you can have *just one* piece of chocolate, awesome. But it doesn't sound like you're at that point yet. What about having something like a glass of non-fat milk with…

My list has gotten really long, but some of my faves (I'll even skip others I'm not feeling to get to these) Psycho Killer - Talking Heads Head Like A Hole - NIN Love Rollercoaster - Red Hot Chili Peppers Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People I Don't Feel Like Dancing - Scissor Sisters Oddly enough, I wasn't sure about…

It varies, depending on what I'm doing that day, how happy my knees are or aren't and what I did the day before. I spend about an hour at the gym when I go (5, sometimes 6 days a week, although if it's 6 days, its because of yoga on saturday) and if I'm focusing on strength training, I'll only do about 15 min on the…

1) Hubs is not on here 2) He knows I am 3) I wouldn't act differently if he were on here, or if he didn't know about my MFP account. Nor would I do anything different if I were single. For me, this is a place to track calories, get information/insight/perspective, and occasionally talk about things with people who do not…

That one pisses off my husband. I don't care what people do or how fast (or slow!) they go, provided they don't almost hit my car. I only get mildly annoyed with the idiots who insist on staying in the left lane, whether they're passing or not. I do a fair amount of driving in upstate NY (north of the capitol) and what…

I'm hyper aware, and I don't "rage" but neither will I deny that abject stupidity on the road makes me angry. That fight or flight response to danger? Yeah, I only have one setting, and it's not the flight one. Potential harm to my children (ie, nearly hitting my car) raises my hackles. To be honest, it didn't bother me…
-
The reason I take it seriously is because when you're operating a piece of equipment averaging 3,500-4,000 pounds 30,40,50+ mph, you have the potential to do a lot of harm if you're not paying attention. I get angry when I see stupid crap on the road because you're not only putting your life in danger, but you're putting…

Yeah, can't help you there. I think it looks strange myself.

Ok, you got me there. But really, if the person thinks they look fabulous, good for them. Self-confidence and all that, right?
-
Two immediate thoughts: 1) how do you know they've shaved them off? Perhaps they've got really minimal amounts of hair there... 2) if it's quite apparent they've been "shaved" is it possible they've done so because their eyebrows are blonde and pencil looks ridiculous on skin underneath blonde eyebrows? (I know this from…

I'm a SAHM, and I love it. It can be maddening at times, but I'm glad I have the ability. I've contemplated going back to work once my daughters are in school, but unless we *need* the income, I think I would rather devote my free time to charity. At some point, if the (financial) opportunity ever arises, I would LOVE to…

congrats!!!

This, OP, this. The woman who wrote this thread is a hero. And she's right.

Not going to bother reading all 7 pages, but, OP, I have a secret to tell you...... *You're doing it wrong*. A lot of that stuff you mentioned in your first post? I eat regularly And I'm losing weight. Slowly. But losing. Moderation and portion control, sweetcakes. That's it.
-
Like pretty much everyone else said- you just have to do it. Yeah, it's hard at first, but you'll probably feel a lot better after you workout. Even if it's just a walk, lifting some weights or yoga. When you workout, not only are you getting your blood flowing, but you're also getting your lymphatic system going (it's…

huh. Only three of us like chocolate covered bacon. who knew?

Right? still cracks me up every time I see it!

It is. It gets noticed. I'm really good at getting my point across with it! lol
-
It's ok. I'm really judgemental of other drivers on the road. Cause I'm awesome and am better at it than they are. Maybe because I'm older than some of them and have more experience; maybe it's because I'm younger than some of them and still have all my faculties; maybe it's because I'm smarter than some of them... but…

Cook up some bacon; cook chopped onion and garlic in bacon fat; shred cabbage, add that to the pan; add apple cider vinegar, a little brown sugar and some soy sauce... cook until cabbage is tender and most of the liquid has cooked off. DELICIOUSNESS.

You (we) are not smart enough for individual responsibility, liberty or self control; that's why we need more government, more regulations, more control! /sarc (just in case)

I'm drinking one right now- mine is protein powder (chocolate) with fat-free vanilla yogurt, skim milk, some crushed ice (and here's the bad part) a squirt of hershey's syrup. On extra special days I'm particularly naughty and put a spoonful of nutella in it. :)
-
Congratulations! You look amazing. (And I agree with another poster about looking like Jessica Capshaw) What is your height, if I may ask?

If I'm working out during the day (mid-morning) I like to have an orange, 1/2 a grapefruit or some other type of fruit in the car to nosh on immediately post-workout. Once home, I do a protein shake. Afternoon workouts are a bit different, and they've become more frequent since my husband joined the gym and we now go when…
