Thanks for the inspiration!

Bumping for later use. Thanks!

Bumping for later, thanks!

Bumping for later. Thanks!

My main requirement for running shorts is that they be tight. I can't stand loose material on my legs during a run. Length-wise, I have everything from full pants to knee length to booty shorts. I don't care if people think they're too short. My but and my lady bits aren't hanging out, and I'm not out there for a fashion…

I second the track idea. I take my kids to the local high school track on the weekends. If the two year old can nap in the stroller, just park him in a visible shady spot. Otherwise, they can play in the grassy area inside the track. Just be sure to stress the importance of not wandering off and staying out of the way of…

Thanks for sharing!

I just made these yesterday, with a few swaps. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oatmeal-pancakes-ii/detail.aspx whole wheat flour for all-purpose splenda with fiber for sugar egg substitute for egg unsweetened applesauce for veg oil unsweetened original almond milk for buttermilk add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder I double the…

I don't have it on my workout lists, but I'm a huge K.C. fan!

I've got some real doozies on mine: Ke$ha - Your Love is My Drug Divinyls - I Touch Myself Sugarhill Gang - Apache Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back Wreckx-n-Effect - Rump Shaker Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad David Guetta - Sexy B*tch Mariah Carey - Fantasy Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy Snow…

Hahaha, just tell her you're getting your legs waxed. That's what I tell mine. We're close, but not close enough to discuss Brazilian waxing.

I haven't read the responses, so I apologize if I'm repeating information here. I wax my legs, eyebrows, and entire crotch (aka a Brazilian). The legs and brows sting a little but it's over with quickly. However, I am extremely sensitive to the Brazilian. Regular numbing creams offered by waxers are not enough to make it…

I definitely need to try these! Regarding the flaxseed and almond flour... I've never baked with either one. Are they acceptable substitutes for all-purpose flour in regular recipes? If so, would they be a cup-for-cup exchange? Usually when I bake for just me, I substitute whole grain flour for all-purpose, but it's not…

My hubby and I live in different states due to our work situations, but he was supposed to be home during my first half-marathon this year. I was ecstatic when I signed up for it and asked him to bring the kids and meet me at the finish line. His response? "I don't wanna stand there with them waiting on you. Can't your mom…

Can't say enough about New Rules of Lifting For Women. Even if you choose not to follow their workouts, there is great information about nutrition and life habits that you'll want to make use of as you progress through your heavy lifting journey.

I use allrecipes.com. Not always healthy, but a lot of great ideas and you can substitute ingredients as you see fit.

Yes, I need to eat more to build muscle, but that's been a recent shift in goals for me. Prior to that, I was maintaining anywhere from 1400 to 1500 and I never netted less than 1200 to lose.

4'11" here. Spent the majority of my weight loss eating at 1200 net and plateaued about 5 pounds above my goal weight. I increased my calorie intake by 200 a day and slowly but surely dropped the last five pounds. Now I eat 1865 a day for maintenance, plus exercise calories, and easily maintain 110 pounds. That said, I…

Great post, bumping for later!

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT! Geez, now you've got that song stuck in my head!!! I remember a Barbie lunchbox and some generic dinosaur one. I'm pretty sure I had a Rainbow Brite, too. You never see kids' lunchboxes that come with Themoses anymore.

I've had to deal with the *kitten* that swerve at me too. I don't even flinch, just keep running. Go ahead and hit me buddy, and I'll enjoy some time off for your work while my lawyer sues your ignorant @$$. No, that's not a logical response but it's how my mind works when I run. I've also noticed used condoms on the road.…

^^^THIS!!! Love and attraction are two different things. No one should be abused or mistreated, especially because of their weight, but it's unfair to expect someone to be physically attracted to you no matter what. Guys are particularly visually oriented when it comes to sex and they have to be excited to perform. Unless…

I'll send you a friend request. I'm 30, I've reached my weight loss goal, and am now focusing on strength training and fat loss. I've done Insanity and ChaLEAN Extreme, I run, and do a variation on Crossfit 4-5 days a week with my trainer. I'm currently reading New Rules of Lifting for Women and while I don't plan on…

Hahaha, I <3 you!

I run and strength train on the same day plenty of times, although I usually try to do one in the morning and one in the evening. As someone mentioned earlier, as you start doing high-mileage runs, you may want to skip strength training on those days. I think the most important thing is to listen to your body and do what…

Heck yeah! On a regular basis! My friends tease me about being addicted to working out, but I have to in order to eat the way I want to. As a short woman (just under 5 feet), I don't get a large calorie allowance, even on maintenance. I know I'm going to end up eating a lot whether I work out or not, so I push myself…

I mix mine with almond milk. Look for an unsweetened original flavor, and you can find one for 35 or 40 calories per cup, and lots of calcium!

You just brought back so many memories from my childhood! I never see the sea ponies anymore. Time to get on ebay and find some for my daughter!
