Wow! I don't know why I never thought to try something like this! I have both a Vitamix and a food processor. Thank you for posting your recipe! Enjoy Paris. What a beautiful time of year to go. Jackie

Hi Ladies! Mid-week already! I wanted to post a thank you here to the ladies who suggested titlenine.com for sports bras. I don't remember who it was, and there are so many pages of posts! Anyway, I made literally the perfect purchase for my running bra and I'm going to order several more. Anyone who runs who needs extra…

You'd have to ask the press/media about that.

Alone. It's kind of like meditation, and I wouldn't want to meditate with a group of people either. But then again, I wouldn't meditate to my iPod which accompanies me on most runs. BUT, I do enjoy running occasionally with my 15 year old daughter.

I love my personal trainer. He's expensive, but I've a lower rate than usual because I go at 6 a.m. (I guess that's their slower time). I'm using him to train for a particular running event, and he's been pretty much invaluable to me. He pushes me to squeeze out 5 more reps when I KNOW I would not think to do them on my…

Good morning, afternoon, and evening Ladies! It's almost Friday! It doesn't matter how old I get, I always feel 14 on a Friday. Carol, I've hit a plateau, mesa, AND butte. I mean it's going on two months, I think, that I haven't lost an ounce. I've weaved up a few ounces or a pound, and then right back down to where it…

Honestly, I wouldn't need anyone to tell me a painful shoe may or may not be right for me. I'd take it to a public forum such as their FB wall. I couldn't imagine my running store saying that. I'd also tell them I was going to review them on Yelp. Then again, I've got a temper.

Pesto.

1. Apple, raw with skin 2. Silk--Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (30 Calories) 3. Generic - Ginger Root - Raw - Usda Database

If they recommended the shoe, I'd take them back to them--worn or not. I had a gait analysis and the shoe recommended for me gave me not one iota of a problem. When I think back on how I've had to break in every stinking pair of shoes (I mean working past blisters and toe issues), I could throw up. This pair of shoes (Nike…

Waaaay this! I also like a whole mango, and I keep frozen Dole melon mix to use with the frozen grapes (and also like to throw a kiwi in there).

Marking my spot for the new thread. This morning's run was at 6:45 a.m. and it was SIXTY (60) DEGREES and sunny. NO layers, NO gloves, NO hat, short sleeves. I hope I don't get up tomorrow and see snow on the ground. This weather in these parts has been crazy. Jackie

Less than one month: March 16, 2013.

twotonnetaric: Beet greens are very sweet when processed in a blender (I use a Vitamix) to make green smoothies. The most basic one I make, which I love, is about 90 g of beet greens, one red delicious apple, 1 TBSP of homemade peanut butter or two TBSP of powdered PB, one cup Almond Milk (and maybe a cup of very cold…

Happy Monday ladies, M.: I can't remember if you make the Green Smoothies, but much of your veggie garden makes INCREDIBLE green smoothies, such as the beet, turnip, radish and carrot greens. If you don't and you know someone who does, give the greens to them! I would kill to have someone give me beet greens. Exermom: I'm…

Oh, I left out one important tidbit on the bra-fitting excursion: It isn't the place for modesty. I guess in my older, more mature attitudinal ways, I was ok with a complete female stranger seeing and, um, fitting the second most private part of my body. I could've never done this in my younger years, and honestly, the…

My diary is open to everyone...didn't log much over Easter since I was out of town, but before that it's mostly there. Can't help with the pizza: it's one of my hot food items that I decided to just avoid since I can't control myself with it ;)

Spaghetti, chocolate, pesto. Of all three, pesto is the one that's the most uncontrollable for me. Oh, and pizza. I haven't had it in forever because I'll eat half the damned pie in one sitting.

I am 51 and have been at a plateau for nearly a month. I'm running the Broad Street Run 10-miler on May 5, and have about 20 pounds I'd like to lose, but I'm stuck. I also see a personal trainer twice a week in preparation for the run. I think it's harder to lose weight at my age because my metabolism is much slower than…

Oh, I had to pipe in on the bra cup/fitting post. nanasorchid52 (Jo): You didn't really go up a cup! Cup size is proportional to band size. Did you ever hear of the Double Divas? Nordstrom has their own fitters who are actually well trained (at least in my store) and I went for a bra fitting not two weeks ago. My first…

Ok! Toss (chuck--that word always makes me laugh) the stuff is the hands down winner, so now I've got more of an excuse to tackle the walk-in closet. Are we reallllly sure disco won't ever make a come-back? No more shoulder pads? Ever?

All I really have to say is I am really grateful for the friends I have that are encouraging and motivating, and that they haven't told me (or each other) to suck it up. I said earlier I wasn't a complainer, but I can think of times I whined about the mileage I had to run--and instead of being badgered and criticized, I…

Which kind? The whiners or the whiners about the whiners?

Hurry, read faster. She did just pop in again to say "suck it up."

It's actually difficult to hand-hold and help someone who isn't ready yet. It's far easier to just tell them to "suck it up."

This has probably been addressed on MFP many times, but I'm curious about the replies from the Women 50+. How long do you hold on to your "big pants" and how many sizes bigger do they have to be before you get rid of them? I mean I have stuff that's 5 full sizes bigger than I am now and they're still in my closet (hi…

Congratulations on losing those 75 pounds. But what did you do on your way to those 250 pounds? Make excuses? Can you remember back to that? Did anyone's bullying you prompt you to lose those 75 or were you finally just ready to do that. We all run our own races, and just because someone is faster than us, doesn't mean we…

I guess not everyone is as cheap and careful with their money as I am then :)

"Dumb[est]" comes in all ages. There's a difference between "dumb" out of ignorance and "dumb" out of inexperience. (I'm only using "dumb" because that's the word you chose.) I'd far prefer the young, inexperienced version over the ignorance version. If OP had posted in a manner similar to your's, this thread wouldn't have…

Nice first post. An ounce of kindness always beats a pound of bullying.
