Maybe consider adopting one together? If you intend to remain married, you'll have to come to some agreement regardless. We have rescue dogs mostly and they are all indoor, outdoor and crate trained. 2 beagles, a yorkie and a St.Weiler who loves our kids, but is just now 9 months old and 90+ pounds... he hasn't messed in…

I have a really nice suit that my husband bought me for Christmas a few years back that was too small, I kept it, and gained more, so that is my goal outfit... and I plan to purchase a little black dress and swimwear when I reach my goal. Maybe I'll add a few other milestone outfits in between. I haven't bought anything…

Ditto - I am sooo lucky to keep my own on pasture. However, my daughters take lessons at a nearby barn, which has 58 stalls and pony stalls to boot. This barn isn't much to look at from the outside, but it is very clean and well managed on the inside, where it counts. Both arenas are open to any and all riders at all…

Okay - update - many of these tips are working - I went through one day and did an itemized time schedule to find a bit of wasted time, there really wasn't much, but I was spending some time doing "nothing" that is now being utilized better... who knew. Started with diet - very much upgraded - 50% carbs, 25% protein, 25%…

I don't get to spend as much time with mine as I'd like or should. They are on our land, at pasture mostly. I do supplemental feeding daily - but don't always have time to groom, etc, and no need to clean out the pasture, just spread manure every now and then. In smaller pen and the working pen I keep that pretty well…

Got her :) Never had a palomino before - and I have owned about 12 horses in my life of various breeds and colors, and even a mule :). I prefer shorter horses, now that I'm older and less limber, plus I'm honestly not all that tall. Otherwise now I would probably order up an Andalusion or a Paso - and if I chose the color,…

Me and my kids checked out the Kids Yoga DVD by Denise Austin at our public library - they actually enjoyed most of it, but like all kids, they got tired of it in a week :) here's one that looks cute.…

YAYYYYY!!! Super and about time for this group! So glad a MFP friend found y'all! I am 41 years old now and not at all as limber or as light as I used to be. I started my love affair with horses years ago when I was a teen with a mustang fresh off the Nevada desert... since then I have owned various horses throughout the…

Most "kids" won't listen to you anyway - just sayin - I have one... and I work with them too. Asking first is a great suggestion someone above made. Our gym has a childrens and teen program for various ages, and they at least work with them on form, correct use of equipment, etc - under 16 cannot be unattended. I'm glad…

I would so have been like, "sure can you just show me how to do this right... someone else sure didn't know how..." then "thanks, I got this now, appreciate it." (Dismissed).

We are a family of five - both parents work, and I am a full time student as well - thank goodness my 17 year old babysits... at a discounted rate! When I returned to school we knew we had to cut costs so we started shaving things down, now we feed all of us a mixture of some convenience foods, frozen veggies, canned…

I would get a physical exam first, I'm all for the low cost clinics for basic stuff. Get the cholesterol, BP followed up on and have them evaluate your heart. In the meantime I would continue walking and keeping things at a slower pace, with short intervals of speed to increase the HR. The heart is an incredible organ and…

You are quite an inspiration. I think there need to be more people like you on here. I know there is a silver sneakers group at our gym that is all 55+ and they are mostly in the 70+ range. It is awesome to see them active and on man in particular comes in with his walker, then starts using weight equipment, swimming,…

Hope the moderators are watching - we would buy too - :love: myfitnesspal

I moved to the southern US in my early 30s to marry a southern boy - but I grew up eating mostly organic, natural and "hippy" foods... My body couldn't take the dietary changes... I shouldn't have made em! in ten years and with 2 pregnancies in there - I gained and kept a total of 60 pounds and didn't even realize it.…

You beat down your unhealthy problems with food and got a completely ROCKIN body out of the deal! Thanks for sharing. We commonly think of everyone being on MFP for weight loss, but that is not the only reason. Some need to track to be sure they are gaining for performance and hey - looky you - you beat eating disorders!…

welcome back - this is a good place for a repeat - or for me a threepeat... I know about busy. I know what's working for me now, and it's MFP! The motivating friends I have found make all the difference... learning lots, books to read, workouts to try, how to build up when you really can't do anything at all... how to make…

Congrats on your success! I am inspired again! This community is one of the best things I have found for motivation. I am impressed by the timeframe of your journey - it didn't happen overnight, but you didn't give up - either of you. That in itself shows it is much more than a diet, or an exercise plan... it is a whole…

LIke brushing my teeth...

I fought to get a diagnosis for over a year - wound up in the ER repeatedly - very embarassing (many coworkers there - I'm a nurse!) and drawn out - had dysfunctional gallbladder out as well. Finally begged to have the bloodwork and ANOTHER colonoscopy - with a biopsy this time! Finally got things figured out - BAM! Titers…

Feel free to add me - I have to eat Gluten free - not a choice, I get super sick if I eat it. Stalk my diaries... I post everything! I'm still finishing up a loaf or two of Paleo Bread - not my favorite in the texture dept, but the coconut flour one is the best g-free bread in the calorie dept. Otherwise, I do eat brown…

Last semester really took me down... I am also a very non-traditional student, working hard to lose a lot of extra weight - and starting on my last year of working toward my Masters... this summer I have focused on tracking daily no matter what... 45 days now - woot! Okay, so I posted similar questions earlier and got a…

I actually need to play the piano myself, lol, it's exercise - don't watch much TV myself... I like the pre-planning you mention, and the seltzer water idea I could add 2 oz of juice in place of flavors!

And it seems to be working well for ya. Okay - I'm enlisting his help and my kiddos too. I'm going to tell them how important this is to me, and we all need to pitch in...
-
Don't watch TV - no time - but I really like the prep idea - I usually mentally plan, then actually prep in the morning... but setting up a whole week ahead will be helpful! Definitely after kids in bed... I work a lot of weekends and rotate shifts sometimes working nights, sometimes days, sometimes evenings - so I'll just…

LOL, yes this I definitely know, working in sleep medicine :blushing:

Usually eat at the desk while working, but when I'm downloading or moving data, I will try this... great idea... I can do squats, lunges, etc... I have a stretch band I'll take to work... etc... :flowerforyou:

Great tips! Thanks for all the great advice - I am so inspired right now. I have got to get this under control and figured out now before clinicals start back in August... only a few weeks away. That is when I'm afraid things will all fall apart. I am actually taking notes on this and using many of these suggestions as a…
