I have these too and highly recommend them. Yes they are expensive but the sound quality is incredible and they stay in your ears...

I am not sure if I would qualify as a caregiver but I was my mom's hospice nurse for the 10 days she had left on this Earth. She had a stroke in January, 2008. It was sudden and unexpected as she was in her early 70's and fairly healthy. I had just started nursing school at 45 years old, I was raising 3 kids on my own, and…

I would rate you a 10 but someone said keep the 9 thing going so 9 it is :)

I am not really new to MFP but have only really been active and social for the last few weeks and let me tell you, the encouragement, support, love, and advice from all my fitness friends has been invaluable. I have lost a significant amount of weight, and will reach my goal weight at some point :) I workout 6x a week, I…

I don't normally workout at night but had such a busy day helping my daughter with her new house I didn't get on the treadmill till 10:30. I figured I would relax from 11:30 when I was done till about midnight and hit the sheets. LOLOL well here it is 1:15 am and I am wide awake. My alarm goes off at 6:30 so I hope I sleep…

Hi Sam. Welcome to MFP. Well we all need a goal to work towards and you wanting to look good naked is as good a reason as any, right? I laughed when I read your profile. Calling yourself old at 26! Please you aren't old. IF you are old at 26, I must be dead at 50. Feel free to add me if you choose :) I log daily and…

Hmmmm I am pretty good about the water every no matter what. With my hypertension I am already on a low salt diet. It would be challenging to do no salt. Now the sugar thing: Does artificial sweetener like Truvia or Splenda count? Please please please tell me it doesn't count as a sugar. And the elliptical calorie thing: I…

Ges, thank you very much. I worked my *kitten* off, literally LOL, and I am finally believing I will make it to the end of my journey :) I am sure riding on the bike this Spring will be a whole new feeling being so much lighter. And you are so right. The Blue Ridge Parkway is Soooo Beautiful. Where do you live now?

You aren't saying anything I haven't said tonight. My daughter is beside herself. She said if we hadn't called him right away, Autumn would have stayed at her house and she would be ok.

I have a dog and she is quite creative. She did get out at times but we took great pains for it not to happen again and now that she is a little bit older she doesn't have the energy. I could understand the dog getting out and as much as it hurt me to see her that way I could forgive the owner because things happen. But…

I took my first Zumba class last week and loved it!! Please feel free to add me as well.

First of all, kudos to you for being so dedicated to your workouts. Many people would just say the heck with it. I workout early, 7 am, but not as early as you. Impressive :) I have never had a problem eating breakfast as for me it is the most important meal of the day. I can make it with skipping lunch or dinner but never…

You look great but really?? you had to say the teensy weeny yellow polka dot bikini??? I have that song in my head now. I already have enough in there with all the voices. LOL seriously you look great!!! You should be proud of those muscles. You worked hard for them. Keep up the good work....

When I'm lucky I get what I call my 'elliptical eye candy' on the machines in front of me with a man who has an awesome butt. If I'm really, really lucky I will get one with a nice butt AND calves. YUMMY. I started doing an hour on the machine because I was so motivated to stay and watch him work out. Other than hoping to…

So very exciting!! I am happy for you. What an achievement :) I was supposed to run my first 5k last weekend but I did something to my neck in the gym doing crazy classes LOL but I had fun doing them but will be running one ASAP. Keep up the great work....

I kept out of the gym for 6 months because of my own insecurities. I finally joined the Y in January and slowly encouraged myself to use the treadmill, elliptical *Which I LOVE* and the bikes. I got comfortable and really didn't care what others thought and just worked out. Last Sunday I got really crazy and did a Zumba…

To reach my goal weight I need 30/40 pounds! Please add me if you choose :) good luck on your journey.

Great eyes Ashley :)

^5!!

I'm fairly new to the group as well. I can't wait for Spring to finally get here and start riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway. My dream ride is to ride out west starting in Virginia, hitting California, then head north on the PCH all the way to Washington. Safe travels everyone!

I need to find a bike blessing before I start my rides this Spring. Be safe out there.

I feel your pain :-/ I have a recent neck injury and dealing with that. Haven't worked out in a week. My doc told me today that if/when I'm able to workout, I can't use the arms thingy. I miss my elliptical :( I pray you're back on it ASAP!

That is really a disturbing video! LOLOL I think I have been watching too much of The Walking Dead!

I am incredibly blessed in that I had a uterine ablation (essentially burning the endometrial lining of the uterus) and I haven't had a period in 10 years. It's been the best ten years of my life: no mood swings, no bloating, no cramps, and no threats of murdering the hubby. I'm 50 now and I'll probably hit menopause soon,…

YUM! Thanks for sharing :()

Dreaming by Tommy.

^5 Valentine. Absolutely get another doctor!!
