Exercise!! I quit smoking over 10 years ago, haven't had the urge since. I work in a VERY high stress industry, and I balance it with my workouts. You would be amazed at how much Yoga & T'ai-Chi can really help rebalance your body. I do Yoga, T'ai-Chi, Pilates or Budokon in the AM before getting ready for work & then I hit…

^^ I do this frequently!! I love the pero peppers!! Also - make your own veggie coleslaw. steam the veggies so they're firm, chop them into strips/chunks and instead of mixing with mayo, mix with a spicy mustard. SOOO good, refreshing, filling & low cal. Feel free to look at my diary to see what I eat on a reg basis as I…

Something similar to P90X but actually wallet friendly (plus the trainers are not as annoying or smily like most DVD's all the time) - Supreme 90Day. I found mine at ROSS a few months back for $5, Amazon has it for less than $20. 10 DVD's, different workouts. The only things you'll need are a matt - which you probably…

I wouldn't want to be around me if I only ate 1200 a day which is what I'm set at as well. I workout quite a bit, too, and something I found is that muscles are hungry!! the more muscle I build and fat I burn, the more I need to eat. I eat well as well, basically follow a whole foods plant based diet & when I focus on…

I truly hope this helps - many people, especially women, forget how important the simple things in life are, like the sun! We spend most of our time indoors, many of us under flourecsent lighting which literally sucks the life out of us. It's funny you mention Vit D & tanning as just the other day I was thinking when I…

I'm just under 5'6" but I used to be 5'8". Due to damage in my back & hips (accidents), I've gradually lost over 2" in my height over the last 10 years. My brain is convinced I'm 5'8" so thinks around 150 lbs is good for me, however, 2" makes all the difference in the world! I have finally come to terms that my weight will…

Groveland... Pretty much the center of nothing in Central FL!

Got a great laugh from some of these! And here I'm thinking of all the excuses I make to GO TO the gym or to workout (I workout at home as well). I've let the laundry & vacuuming slide for 2 weeks before because I kept saying, I'll just go to the gym & then come home & do chores... Yea, I end up working out for 2-3 hours &…

Hubz & I are currently Purrents of 4 Beasties :smile: They've all adopted us at different times/places, and the best seat in the house usually has a Kitty on it :wink: We do everything with them in mind; anything we need/get, the first question is "What will the Kitties do/think/break/destroy" I'm pretty much already known…

If he's done this before recently I'd flat out ask him what's up if this is a sudden occurence: you're only irrational if you let it fester & don't ask. You're married & open communication is key to any success (well, along with a couple other "perks"!). There have been a couple times where my Hubz called or texted me…

That's pretty cool: I have a pic of my Mustang with a Mustang (B52) from a car show years ago - only it was before I lowered her so she looks better now.

I'm not scared. I can take her in sit-ups, planks AND push-ups!!

I see this thread getting locked soon after everyone bashes on the government trying to govern our exercise! (PS-I'd bash as well, but it won't get me anywhere or make them stop their assinine idiocy!) With that said - I typically workout for at least 90mins a day, 6 days a week because I LOVE to workout, not really…

My Cat's eyes: he passed away last May at only 11 years young of Kidney Disease: this pic was taken about 4 years ago before he got sick. He was a VERY special Kitty and due to his illness, not only did my Husband & I become even more conscious of our health but I also began making food for our other 4 Kitties (one of…

I'm a double-dipper. I workout at home in the AM before I get ready for work, then hit the gym after work. If I need to get home to take care of things, I'll workout out at home after work or on off-days/weekends when I don't want to drive the 30 mins to the gym (nothing affordable closer). I got some amazing results…

My fav for taste & health is Raw Fusion, I mix with water & it's STILL good!! 116 cals, 188 sodium & 21g protein per scoop! Around $18 through VitaCost.com.

I'm less than 3 years away - EEK!! Seriously though, I look better now than I did at 30, if I keep this up I'll DEF be smokin' at 40!

Funny thing happened to me when I stopped focusing on losing weight and calories burned & focused on muscle... While I no longer really am losing weight per the scale, I'm watching my body change for the better. Clothes are loose, body is firmer, I look & feel better. Once I got within 20lbs of my original "goal" I…

There's something else that I remember from my teen years about standing up while you do something that doesn't count... But I regress...

Where are you finding the fitness stuff on Netflix? I used to do some Crunch & 10-Min Solutions workouts but suddenly they were gone from our queue & I can't find them. I've searched every way I can think & nothing comes up (we run Netflix through AppleTV, not sure if that's the issue...??)

Check your life insurance policy for any sudden additions right away!! Man, glad you posted this just in time, may have just saved yourself from a gruesome death. Oh, and hire a private detective to ensure nothing else is going on..

Supreme 90Day is good, similar to P90X but a LOT less $$$ ($20 or less on Amazon & the instructor is not as annoying as the P90X guy). I also enjoy The FIRM workouts, Get Chisel'd is a FANTASTIC combo of strength & cardio. If you enjoy combos (several workouts on 1 DVD), look into GAIAM 5 Day Fit workouts, I have 5 Day Fit…

I have to admit I'm guilty of "using". I use my scale to laugh at the ridiculous numbers it tells me I am, then look in the mirror or slip into a pair of jeans fresh from the dryer that I used to have to lay on the floor & swiggle to get into & then get the jaws of life to get me back out :laugh: My Muscle and I have a…

Weight is just a number that may not mean what we want to believe it to mean. I'm just under 5'6" and go between 145-149lbs, I'm a size 7 or 9 slacks & usually Small tops unless it's a fitted shirt in which case I need a Medium due to my broad shoulders. This profile pic is me a couple weeks ago - most do not believe I am…

Cheers!! (and now I have to take my nitecap to my room to sleep, just as it's getting good in here again! ARGH! This stupid exercise addiction of mine where I have to wake up early every day just to play with my muscles...)

*hands glass for fill-up* And don't be stingy!!

Red, white or burgundy? Sharing at all?

The best bad movie ever made... Terror Toons! It was so bad I couldn't turn away from it!!

FYI - I go to the gym after work - I work in a professional area where I am always dressed well, with hair neat & a little makeup: yes, the makeup is still on when I go to the gym. However, when I leave the gym you can TELL I worked out!! I would be more worried about the ones who leave looking as perfect as they did when…

The jacknuts who come up to me when I'm mid-rep to ask how much longer I will be... My hair is all pulled back & one can CLEARLY see the BRIGHT PURPLE earphones & wire going from my ears to my iPhone in its bright purple LifeProof case: the volume is up to block out the jacknuts. So WHY would you be discourteous enough to…
