Tough

Show him there's more to life than just getting dirty!

No, sir. HYE dropped your keys in the toilet?

I'd wonder why he hasn't offered up some of that French cuisine.

No! Haha HYE gotten a speeding ticket?

Those abs

I'd wonder why he hasn't taken me mudding yet.

As a runner, an elementary teacher, and mom to two kids, my advice would be to talk to them about pacing and how they needn't go all out the entire time. Did you say you run with them? If so, just focus on having fun and letting them lead. I've seen kids that age running 5 and 10K races, and they seem to do fine listening…

Hula hooping is awesome! I've always loved it! :)

The less you weigh, the less calories you'll burn doing any activity, including walking or running. If you're only exercising to burn calories, you might want to rethink that. Exercise is beneficial in so many other ways, so you'd be better off sticking with it. Instead of devoting 2 hours a day, maybe just go for a half…

All of it! Nom. MEAT! :heart:

Of course. He's got the word Texas in his name, and I live IN Texas! Haha!

Clean but wants to be dirty

Truer words have never been spoken! :sad:

Spend as much time as possible outdoors, until it gets ridiculously hot and humid here in Texas, and then I chill out in the house or at the pool!

39. My greatest personal accomplishments are my two children. My greatest professional accomplishment is my masters degree. Next up will be my doctorate!

Yeah. A LOT! Yikes!

Not pre-mfp, but way back in the day when I didn't give a crap what I ate, I went to Jack in the Box often and got the sourdough jack, a giant side of bacon cheese fries, and a huge soda. Oh, and I used to make fries at home and load them up with a TON of shredded cheese, sit on the couch, and eat them late at night. All…

First, you do not need to accept any of the nonsense we've grown up hearing (that metabolism slows down as we age, it's normal to gain weight as we age, etc.) While those things may be typical of the average American, it's doesn't have to happen. Second, "middle-aged" can look however you want it to look! Eat well,…

Exactly this ^ Some doctors (ok actually many) are still living in the dark ages and don't keep up with or concern themselves with the latest, modern research. This is why you must be your own health advocate. Good luck to you!

That's awesome! You've done a great job! :)

I went through it with two children. With the first, I was much younger and the weight came off with little to no effort. With my second, it's been much tougher! I originally started with the goal of losing 1 lb per week, but it was tough because i didn't want my supply to dwindle because of not getting enough calories in…

Good shoes! I run outside only, so I have a good visor that I wear in case of sun, rain, whatever. Oh, and comfy, running-appropriate underwear!

Oh yes, I've done this before and it's SO yummy!!

Honestly, I LOVE and look forward to the days I burn that much! When I do a 2 hour run or workout for 2 hours in one day and burn 1000 calories, I never seem to have a problem eating those calories back. But on the off chance that I have a deficit at the end of the day, so be it. I won't force myself to eat if I'm full. My…

I'll avoid all that nonsense above by just answering the original question. No, I don't work out with my SO. I have never really enjoyed working out with anyone, let alone the person I already spend a lot of time with! I use my time working out and running as a way to decompress and help me calm my mind and body, so I…

Don't give up over just a few pounds! It's a tough journey, but it's so worth it! When you have a setback such as gaining a few pounds, just leave it all behind you and look forward! You can do this!!

You interrupted nothing :tongue:
