I do not "comply" and I do not judge others who "comply". I do not think that anyone has to wear polish just because their toes are showing. Like make up, I think polish is a personal grooming choice. Clean, moisturized feet are just as nice. Of course, all of this from someone who does not spend a lot of time looking at…

I lived in an area called Short Pump in Virginia.

Totally agree. Enjoy some orange juice with no added sugar or a fresh orange instead. It is so much better for you than a low calorie option that has had sugar added.

Another Enell fan here! They are amazing for large breasts. Nothing moves while I am running and you don't get the uni-boob look either. Worth every dollar...

I think everyone your age should wear a bikini - no matter what. Wear it with confidence! When you are 80 years old, you will look back at these pictures of yourself and long for the day. Oh by the way, I love to see guys who aren't ripped running topless. I think being comfortable in your own skin is hot.

Years ago I used to eat just a single serving of oatmeal for breakfast. Two hours later, I would be starving. My doctor recommended adding a small amount of protein to my breakfast. By adding a small amount of protein, I was able to go another two hours before I was starving. I would recommend experimenting with some…

^This. I get the one with no sugar added. It is so delicious. I cannot believe that it is not sweetened. I also love the roasted red pepper hummus from TJs.

When I am training for a race, I follow the training schedule on vacation. Hotels usually have treadmills or ellipticals that I can use to get in the required amount of time. Sometimes I have to substitute a swim for a run while on vacation. I find that these workouts give me the energy for a ton of walking and…

Definitely. Not often but I do remember at least once after a running workout. I exercise for stress relief though so I was not surprised. Have also experienced other experiences that may seem odd during a run. I think all of this is very normal.:flowerforyou:

I love drinking water and I used to think that maybe the drinking water difficulty was in part due to where you live. I thought that maybe some water just taste better. While that is partially true, I think the bigger issue is that some people just don't like to drink water - my husband. Recently, I tried purchasing…

I applaud you for trying to get out there because it is challenging with preschoolers. Here are some of the things that I did: Leslie Sansom has some awesome videos that simulate walking and running for exercise. If there is a middle school with a track near you, take them there and let them play where you can see them…

Sadly this is not unusual at all. Girls today are exposed to a ton of media - even in households where media is limited. I would recommend a program like Girls on the Run. I work for this program and I love it. Partly because it helps girls dissect the media. Another one of the many benefits of the program is the girls get…

GSP just b/c I am not a fan of ANY of the Diaz "gang".

My diet has always been very clean. However, I still gained too much - 60 pounds during pregnancy. Thinking it runs in my family somehow - my mom gained 90 with me.? For me, I lost 20 before I left the hospital. Then, nursing alone took off 40 pounds in the first nine months. At my age, 30s at the time, I still did not…

^this. No need to roast 'em.

As a AAA member, I was able to book at the Trump Hotel, 5 stars, for as low as $119 a night. Also, rooms and flights in Vegas are very inexpensive at certain times of the year.

You are NOT the only one.:happy:

Bump! So I can come back again and again.:love:

I always do and my daughter too. My husband does not.:embarassed: Even though, he always makes our daughter wear hers when they go out together.

I agree that there is no spot training. For me though, white sugar and flour seem to add to my belly fat. So I make sure to limit them and I drink green tea. Some studies suggest that green tea burns fat. Congratulations on being here and hang in there. It takes a while for us to get out of shape so it takes a while for us…

I do this too. I have a big glass of water and go to bed.

I enjoy running too! However, I do think that anyone who enjoys running is crazy. Crazy in a good way. When you have a strong mind and body, running is fun. I think running gets a bad rep from people who try to do to much running too soon, those who run too much without working on strength and flexibility, and those who do…

I think the women are in the stalls trying not to touch anything.:laugh: When I encounter this situation, if there is no line in the men's rooms and there are stalls, I use the mens.:embarassed: The other women with me are horrified but I get to use the bathroom and they are still on line when I come out.

Happy Monday Check In: Week 1 total: 9.27 This week total: 12.70 Miles to go: 53.03 Awesome job to everyone who checked in!

This is exactly what happened to me! I saw a dumb kid trying to get a bike near a hornet's nest get attacked. The incident was ugly and scarred me for life until I got stung by a bee while playing softball. I did not notice the bee until he stung me and while it hurt it did not hurt too much so I was instantly over my…

Checking in for week one: 9.27 miles Missed my week one goal by 5.73 miles Miles to go: 65.73

Thanks for clearing that up! It is a situation that I find confusing. Mainly, because I have seen some children get off the bus and cross the street in that exact scenario. So, now I stop just in case they might cross.
