chrisdavey..... please, please, please. FOR THE LOVE..... be my live in chef! :love:

hug!

Train running is my favorite! Now what about destination trail running... epic!

Keep up the hard work.... the exercise is paying off!

:drinker: Those people shat all over your thread! Keep walking... f'em!

*[/quote] That's all I do too, is walk. I do say I walk 2.5 mph instead of 3.5 (which is probably closer to my pace) to help with the overestimating MFP tends to do. [/quote] * I underestimate my walking speed too, to better compensate for the MFP exercise counter.:wink:

<The fluff ball figured out how to play 1-sided tug of war.... stand on the towel you are pulling!!! I cried i was laughing so hard! :laugh:

I agree, see a doctor and get you blood work checked out. You could also have an iron-deficiency, which the doc should be able to see from the lab paperwork. Talk to you doctor about your sleep habits too...

You should really try to incorporate weight lifting. I love to do alternate activities like tire flips, sledgehammer swings, and buddy carries (grab your friend, toss them over your should and walk/jog a ways). If you do get a gym membership, then find activities that you love that will help to build muscle. Weight lifting…

Talk to your doctor, there may be a medical reason behind the craving. At the very least, they can test your iron and vitamin levels to see if you are deficient.

For free pull up bars: do you live near a park with monkey bars? The free weight increments you have will be great for you! And I LOVE resistance bands. Just youtube different excercised you can do with them, it'll help. :smile:

Yeah, ruck marching sucks on the knees. But OP, great job on your accomplishment!

Why do you want to be a member of a gym? What would you use it for? Just wondering b/c i'm a bit different. I prefer to work out outside and just use my own body weight for strength building. A lot of people on MFP love to lift weights, is that why you are looking for a gym?

Or what about the "swag" you get at events? Like Tee Shirts when you run a marathon/half marathon/ 10K? I love those!

I would recomend strengthening all the muscles in your leg: quadriceps, hamstrings, shins, and calves. For example the regular squats and lunges. Have you done toe taps? Literally tapping your toes, repeatedly, will work your "shin". Heel raises for your calves. Also, are you stretching before you work out? Like rolling…

I've heard the "calories burned" on treadmills can be fairly inaccurate. Then again, this is hearsay. Just what I've heard in the gym. :) Hope it helps. Oh, and HR monitors can be chekced by manually taking your pulse to verify the bpm.

I bet being Dr. Oz is a pretty sweet gig. I mean, think about it: he gets paid to promote his own ideas through Oprah and her following, the product(s) and fads build his name recognition (which ceates more revenue for him), and THEN he gets kickbacks from the products he endorsed. What a money making cycle! I should have…

I love real cherry syrup with coke zero. It is really good! But, i don't drink soda very often anymore. Only once or twice a month. :cry:

I started taking a non-estrogen pill (progesterin?) about 4 years ago.... it made me gain about 10 pounds that are very difficult to get rid of.

Drowning... Being lit on fire...

Wow, from the topic I thought you ate toddlers... :) Good luck!

Can you relocate your clients favorite things like the tire and sledgehammer to the old room? If so, that might aleviate the issue if talking with the boss doesn't work out. Always good to have a back up plan!

I just started to take an iron supplement... but it's "gentle iron". Hope i won't have these issues but good to know about the Vitamin C thing for absorbtion. Thanks!

HAHAHA! I thought so too! That is until you see them after day 4 in the field... without showers. Ugh, really gross smelling. It's hard to get that picture out of my head.

If you are not going to eat carbohydrates like brown rice then make sure to eat starchy vegitables. Your body still needs carbohydrates for energy. Otherwise, i'm right with you. I'm 5' too. What types of exercise are you doing daily? Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me :smile:

They are everywhere at military gyms! Rough estimate: 1 in 4. It is so icky. I want to ask if they can cross their arms. Or if they can scratch their back.

Woah, you read my mind. Creepy.

[/quote] Hey, why do you not run? Have you no desire to flee from wild boars? Zombies? A mob? [/quote] [/quote] I like zombies. [/quote] Have you heard of the zombie run? When I get back to the states I am so going to try it! [/quote] [/quote] I'm a such a dork, but the Zombie Run is a mud/run, obstacle course where you…

A cruise b/c you can make friends with other single women there and go on outings together. Plus you pick a from locations and types.
