I have (or had) high blood pressure. It runs in my family. At the highest, I was pushing close to 190/100. Other than working out (a lot of jogging and biking), I cut a lot of sodium from my diet. No processed foods Little to no fast foods Never add salt to foods I make. I am now on the complete other side of the spectrum.…

Awesome work! You look great. This picture, you look like a cross between Katherine Heigl and Claire Danes.

Honey Bunches of Oats. I have it almost every morning.

Blue Waffle Don't google that. You have been warned!

I usually go 2 to 3 times a day.

Here is what I do. I eat what I want as long as I am willing to work it off later that day. So if I want to grab a five guys burger I have to be willing to work out additional hour that day.If I don't want to, then I can't have that burger. When I look at certain foods, I see it in calories and how long it would take to…

Shoes Shoes Shoes! Also you want to pay attention to how your running, specifically on how your feet hit the ground. If you land on your toes, your calves will get tight or fatigue quickly and you may develop shin pain. Landing on your heels means you have overstrided and you're braking, which wastes energy and may cause…

I currently have an iPhone 4 (not 4S) and honestly I wouldn't even be upgrading if my home button wasn't starting to die. It is a hardware issue, not software. I actually thought about just upgrading to the 4S since it would be cheaper, but I decided just to get the 5. My wife basically said "Just get the latest one. It is…

Fat cells get ridiculed by the other cells for being fat and hides.

It is funny cause I had a similar conversation a few years with a friend of mine that basically believed he was debt free because he was renting and did not have a mortgage and wanted to stay that way. So I gave him the scenario of what happens in 30 years when we both turn 60+ and we are in the retirement age. I have a…

haha...that is not really debt free. Renting really gets you nowhere. Basically you buy a house today, you are in debt for 30 years but after 30 years your house is paid off. You retire and live in your house for free. You rent for 30 years you own nothing. Retire and become homeless in your 60's because you can't afford…

You own a house free an clear? Maybe I should move to hicks-ville. Here in California I am working my *kitten* off to be debt free.

Ha. I was just about to say that. Sounds like the OP lives in an area that breeds these fine examples of men. I think moving sounds like the best course of action here.

Maybe it is a problem on where are you looking or the type of guys you attract. I met my wife online. At the time: 1. I had a good job (still do) 2. Had a car (2 cars to be exact) 3. Had my own place (2 homes, 1 I live in and 1 that was being rented out) I was also in my mid-30’s as well. I have no idea if I am the “norm”…

How much running do you do? It is actually “normal” for it to fall off. Happens to me from time to time when I do 5-6 miles a day for 4-5 days straight. Do you feel it rubbing at the tip of your shoe? Maybe you shoes are too small. Or trim them back far enough that they won’t rub.

I don’t know about the dance you were at but I burn a decent amount of calories on Dance Central on the Kinect.

Hello Heather, Sorry for your lost. I know it is hard but I can tell you that it will get better as time goes on. Congrats on quitting smoking. I personally don't smoke so I cannot comment on how hard it might be, but it is a good step in the right direction. You will find a lot of support and motivation here. Everyone…

You would think the car is brand spanking new. There is no trash in my car. Everything is clean and pristine. I use to detail cars as a side job to make some extra cash. It is also a passion. I love the way the car looks right after and complete in and out detail. This post makes me think if this image.

Exactly! Sometimes when I am at home and I feel unmotivated to work out and I say to myself, "I don't have time" as I am sitting there watching Judge Judy. Then I tell myself to get up and go for a jog or bike ride. There is time.

What is your calorie limit? Are you eating back your exercise calories? I know this might sound counterintuitive, but have you tried to increase your calories? Sometimes not eating enough can hinder your weight lost. Just a thought.

Those power walkers are faster than my running/jogging too, but I know the feeling. I was jogging at the local high school track and I felt I was doing pretty good. Then this girl passes me (little tiny Asian girl) and I didn't think anything of it until she pass me again. I was like WTF...not that much time passed by and…
