I've been wearing Merrell's Barefoot Trail Glove for two years, and they are my most favorite pair of shoes. I wear them to run, hike, lift, walk, or just to exist in. They did take some getting used to at first, but also keep in mind I'm someone who walks around barefoot on the norm. I do pronate inward and could use some…

I survived my 7 miles out, 7 miles back without any fatigue, despite not having ridden in months. I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow. I'm going to include it as exercise but underestimate the calories. I think all I'll really change is that I'll eat the majority of my calories of the day at lunch/snacking before I bike home…

Haha, so true. My calf muscles by the end of the summer from riding Fixie up our hills looked almost disgusting.

This is really what I was looking for. Thank you!

Not substantial enough.

That's been my biggest challenge is getting enough protein as someone who is vegetarian 90% of the time. I try to stay as natural as possible but a protein shake has become a requirement. I can't always afford to buy seafood. A good day is if I hit 70grams. Most days I struggle to hit 40grams.

I need more friends like you in my life, haha.

Usually my breakfast is two eggs, whatever veggies I have, 15 almonds, and an ounce of cheese. My meal after working out is 2 scoops protein and almond milk. Lunch is usually a huge spinach salad with tuna, salmon, or chick peas and a tablespoon of olive oil. Snacking is more nuts, maybe granola, or if I'm feeling sluggish…

Haha, thanks guys. I appreciate it. I think I do get disillusioned because Im not surrounded by people who work out, exercise, or eat "normally". Many of my friends are artists, still in college, or alcoholics. So they survive off coffee, alcohol, and eating once a day. Thus when we're hanging out, I feel like the oddball…

I wouldn't describe it as constantly hungry and always obsessing about calories and food, but more so that every two hours I need to eat. I don't like to get "hungry", otherwise I feel like that leads to over eating and over indulging. Usually it's breakfast (6:30 or 7), second breakfast after workout(8:30 or 9), first…

That's what I've been trying, but no matter what I have to cross the highway. After that I can find small neighborhoods to weave in and out of. it'd add a few miles, but it'd be worth it. My biggest fear yet is the people getting on and off the ramps. I had to deal with that before on my commute and every day I'd have…

Mainly just a target date. I'm the type of person that needs a set time limit to work towards. I wont be devastated if it doesn't happen. Also my 24th birthday is at the end of March, so I thought it would be a nice present to myself to know that I still have the ability to buckle down, work out, and get back into shape.

As a Vegetarian, I went with BioChem Whey Protein, either the Greens and Whey in Vanilla, or the regular Whey Protein in Vanilla. It mixes wonderful in anything. Doesn't get chunky, and doesn't taste weird like many protein-spiked things do. I mix two scoops (20g protein) with half a cup of almond milk, half a banana, and…

To update anyone interested. We finally got around to discussing this. We spent another evening together and I just made the move to kiss him. We made out for awhile, however I was told I was "lucky" that I even got to make out with him. It turns out he doesn't like making out. He feels like it's a waste of time and…

I really just wanted to hear about reasons why people wouldn't kiss someone in an intimate setting. I'm not bummed/my feelings aren't hurt/i'm not out to make the dude my husband. There's nothing to move on from. Just a general curiosity. Also if a guy wont let you kiss him after giving him oral, then that's the end of an…

I didn't really want to go into full details and turn this into a soft core porn discussion, haha.

Also, when the hell did kissing become more intimate than having sex? That is probably the issue with my generation.

Somehow a lot happened in the time that I was gone. Did not expect this to be that popular. I will give you guys more details before reading all of these pages. Me and Said Co-Worker had hung out before. He'd taken me on a nice dinner date. We spent a day together running errands. From there it led to flirting at work. We…

I wasnt going into it expecting a relationship. I knew what our "sleep and cuddle" time meant. We didn't have sex, just fooled around. However I thought kissing was just something everyone did, whether you were just planning on hooking up or not. Isn't kissing the best part of it?

Just an update. I made an appointment for tomorrow. However I ended up starting last night. Let me tell you. I should be allowed to call in sick for the amount of everything that is currently happening. Holy hell I must be being punished for something. Either way. Not pregnant. Still a normal human woman. Must just be…

Thanks guys. Yes. Yes. I know I need to go to a doctor. But I wanted insight from others who have maybe had this happen before, so I could be a bit more prepared to talk about it.

Thanks for this insight. I did 4 miles last week, and this week as my long run tried to push it a bit longer, which ended up as 4.3 miles. Right now it's my "long run" during the week with 2-3 milers inbetween. However I want to get to running 4-5miles regularly and pushing to 10miles as my long run. I'm hoping it wont…

I'm in the same boat as you as well. I did well and reached my goal, then all of a sudden just kind of let myself go and gained back the 10 pounds. So i'm trying to get back to my 1400 calorie days and working out at least a half hour daily. I think just checking in on here again daily will help as having someone other…

Most of the issue is that I work 40-50 hours a week in a Burrito shop in which we get free food while we're there as part of the compensation for our low pay. I end up munching and nibbling all the way through my 12-16 hour shifts as I get so exhausted. I've tried just making salads, bringing granola bars to fill up on,…

You have no idea how hard I laughed. We used to go for runs through the city together, but he's a pretty lazy fellow these days, so maybe taking him out and showing him how much continuing to move has put me in better shape than him will make him man the hell up.

Be careful with the Kashi cereal if you are sensitive to fiber. Actually. Go ahead and eat all the Kashi cereal you want. It will make you not want to eat cereal ever again.

I know that at 23.3% I'm right at being "fit" and "average". A lot of what I've wanted to reach for goals have been more appearance based than "fitness" based. I can already run a 7-8 minute consistent mile, and will happily do 4 to 5. I bike 12 miles round trip to work. I eat well and understand nutrition. However, the…

I've been researching online and this company is horrible. There are no corporate numbers for customer service. Their management is non-existant. Their memberships are scams and their "personal trainers" are nothing more than salesmen out to push dodgy, high cost services on you. Planet Fitness has this same issue. Are…

I plan to write a letter and cancel my membership, hopefully get my 160 dollars back. I haven't been happy with the quality of their employees or with the way they treat their customers. The fact that he pushed me to keep going is enough to turn me off of the place.

If ever I'm having issues, grapes solve it within 48 hours, but in the worst way possible. We have an extreme love/hate relationship.
