I love this! Organic, to me, has a whole different meaning than to most of the population. Organic makes me think of long chain bonding, monomer cure sites and several other things (double bonds, naming protocols, aromatic molecules, benzene rings . . . . . I could go on). What is "organic" via chemisty, isn't "organic" in…

Plain Greek yogurt Fresh fruit (SUMMERTIME!!!) Laughing cow light - any type

CONGRATS!!! Onederful Onederland!!

Awesome attitude change! Keep at it and he'll be the one having fun shoping for YOUR new clothes!

Old gym (in rural Nevada) one crazy woman - She would use the Precore Elliptical on max incline, no resistance, with 10 pound ankle weights for about 3 hours every morning while she read her book. The speed of her "steps" barely kept the machine going and she would b!tch up a STORM if anyone used a fan anywhere near her!…

Mae West - When I am good, I am very, very good, but when I am bad I'm better!!!!

You look FABULOUS! Love the outfit too Congratulations on your success and all of your hard work!

My darling boyfriend brought home these delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes with soft, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate frosting and white chocolate decorations. I ate 1 and only 1; BUT I thought about licking the frosting off of every single cupcake :tongue: :blushing: I restrained though and the 1 cupcake was…

Eat what you normally eat. Don't do anything extremely outside your normal routine, it will make you feel off. Enjoy the race and the feeling of it! Especially the adreniline (sp?) rush!

That's right!! And so AWESOME that she's doing it!

Wow! Good to know - I'll make sure it's anchored well. Though I am now hearing the "evil" Wicked Witch of the West music in my head :happy:

I think I might rent a bouncy house for my own backyard "gym" fun! Who doesn't like to jump and bounce and act like a kid again?? Just don't remind me of this when I ache all over for days at a time!

I love that the woman in the picture is wearing HEELS!! :laugh:

This used to happen to me all the time. I started to really pay attention to breathing, counting SLOWLY to three in and three out. (Count longer if you can) It makes the run better and the side stitch is gone. If I start to feel the side go again, I refocus on the breathing (because sometimes I loose track). It took a bit…

$200 OUCH! Might have to wait on those

I LOVE mine! I bought the weighted Reebok ball, size medium ( I am 5'4") at Target for about 25$. I get a lot of questions about it (from co-workers) and I have a hard time sitting in a regular chair anymore. I have had it for about 3 months and I would not go back!! I do have an adjustable height keyboard rest which makes…

And the between the numbers books too - Plum Lovin, Plum Spooky, Visions of Sugar Plums - LOVE ME SOME RANGER!!! *Sigh* Diesel isn't too bad either :love:

Janet Evanovich!! The numbers series (Stephanie Plum!) Seventeen just came out. Also, Dorthea Benton Frank, Gil McNeil, Barbara Bretton. Fantasy: Song of Ice and Fire series: George R.R. Martin (aka Game of Thrones) Mystery/Suspense: Stuart Woods (older books are better) (Palindrome is a favorite)

How about a bike? Or a slow (relatively) walk with an incline?

Thanks for sharing your story! You are doing a great job! WELCOME TO ONDERLAND!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

That is FANTASTIC!! Way to go!

Gyms offer promotions all the time - find one that has a week free or something and usually they will add a single session with a trainer who can SHOW you how to properly use the equipment. But the best way to start is just get on the treadmill and go - you only have to push start and turn up the speed to a rate you are…

I have a 5 pound hoop and it's AWESOME! Best core tightening, you just need enough space to use it. Sometimes I hoop outside.

I do run and I have been running outside - we live near some nice trails and parks. I skipped today - 50 some degrees and wet, but I did run yesterday in the rain, it was FUN!

I did not run this morning :( Bed was too warm and snuggly for this cold MN morning But that doesn't mean that I won't after work!!

Mine is the Reebok one (Target for about $25) Weighted so it doesn't roll away when I get up!!

I love my balance ball "chair" I picked up one that is weighted so I don't find it at the other end of my lab in the morning, it's right where I need it to sit at my computer. I get a lot of comments and compliments on it, also a lot of questions about who paid for it (I did, not the company). It's the best tool I have at…

Cottage Grove :flowerforyou:

This is FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing and I can see why you will never live it down, it's too precious not to remember.

EXCELLENT! I love running outside and since I run early in the morning I have a tendancy to dance/run. Probably looks crazy, but that is ok with me. I have gotten some honks and waves, I wave right back and keep going. I hope that if someone catches me mid dance moment they smile and have a good chuckle for the day. I am…
