AMAZING!! WTG!!!

I say I'm WAY too young to be a ma'am. (although clearly I am not!)

I leave it at the store! lol

I started with 1200/day. Then upped it to 1400+ while running. I started a perpetual headache for like 4 days and was super tired. Now, since I'm training for a half marathon I try to get around 2000/day. After all that, I've only gone up a pound and I no longer have headaches and/or am I falling out in the middle of the…

If you can clean after oral surgery, getting an IUD will be no big deal. I had all for impacted teeth removed and was out of it for like 2 days. The worst part of the IUD insertion is the stuff they put on your cervix to relax it and have it straighten out. It's a warm slightly burning sensation (for me) but I was fine the…

My husband and I have run together, p90x together, insanity together, lifting, kettlebells, etc. We try to out do each other. I have the "anything you can do I can do better" mentality so I will bust my butt trying to out do him. Many days, I pay for it afterward!

Just starting out I did the c25k program every other day & rested on the weekend. You may be doing too much too soon. Otherwise, stretch stretch strech! Icing down my knees was always helpful too. Maybe that will help your soreness. Good luck!

Love love LOVE me some olives. I'm lucky that my husband and kids don't so I get their olives thrown on to my slice of pizza. YUM!

I like my music to drive me... Rise Against A Day to Remember Foo Fighters Five Finger Death Punch Tool

I did. I weaned myself off the sugar in my coffee. Now I only get the trace amount in my creamer. I did notice a difference cutting the sugar. I abstain from artificial sweeteners. They are just chemicals & will leave you craving more. good luck!

In a nutshell, rough years will either tear you apart or bring you together.

I went cold turkey. Haven't had any soda since last November. My husband, who would drink it upon waking and all day long, has reduced it to a few cans a day. He cuts back by the can when he feels ready. It's hard sometimes, especially at the movies or restaurant. All I drink now is water, one coffee w creamer a day, & hot…

I'm the same height as you and I get that too, mostly from grandmotherly neighbors, my parents & my MIL. I just tell them I eat what I want and exercise how I want and my body will do whatever it will do. That I'm not "trying" to lose weight that this is just a byproduct of a healthier and more active lifestyle. Otherwise,…

Iknow this will sound crazy but hot sauce & mustard. I change up the mustard with yellow, spicy or dijon to be different.

Amen Sister! I thought I was the only one. If I gain, I gain. If I lose, I lose. I post my weight weekly so my cardio cals are calculated more precisely.

I could not imagine running with a pad when even a thin panty liner gets all twisted up after a run. My flow is usually light due to my IUD. I've heard of the cup and may check that out when I have this sucker removed because, before the IUD, I was a heavy flow-er. How long do you run for? If you're uncomfortable with the…

I'm not sure how strong you may be, but I think you'll outgrown anything under 20 lbs quickly. I started with the 20 for 2 handed swings and 15 for single arm swings. Eventually I was single arm swinging with a 25 and got up to a 45 for two handed swings. There are other exercises you can do other than those. Check out…

What training plan are you using? Good luck!!!

I enjoy reading all the comments and I figured as much, that fake is fake. I gave up sweet iced tea & fresh lemonade even though natural... to avoid the added sugar. Many people speak of moderation. I know for me, most times I'm an all-or-nothing kinda girl. So I suppose I'll go grab a glass of good ol' water.

Brutally honest and to the point! Just like my husband who says "if you aren't prepared for the answer... don't ask the question." Why is your man like that? Maybe that's what makes him happy. The guy needs something for himself that doesn't include the family. I believe that true for all members of the household. Let…

I hope your recovery is quick and complete as soon as humanly possible. Keep up the good thoughts and we'll keep up our miles for you!

Hello! I'm Andrea. I'm relatively new to running. I was never athletic in hs. I did the c25k program a couple of years back and once I was done, I quit. I started it up again this year and completed the program achieving my goal of doing the 5k in 30 mins. I told myself if I did it, I would then bump up to the 10k. I'm…

SWEET!

You tell a great story. I understand the isolation you feel. Different circumstances of course, but I think you handled things with incredible poise. I hope you get the relationship you look for with all your children. Here's to a new year!

to the OP... I know it's passed, but next time volunteer for overtime!

I just pictured you taking a flame thrower to your "palmetto bugs". LOL

I couldn't agree more! My daughter loved Go Diego Go when she was younger. Who cares? Let her play with whatever she wants. And that goes for boys too!

Me too!
