I really need to kick it up a notch if I'm going to make 50 miles in October. I should be at 14.58 today and I'm not. :sad:

I saw "tall for his age" and I'm thinking my children must be monsters!! Say hello to my 5'3", 95 lb, 10 year old and my 5'0", 80 lb, 7 year old. (picture included to show that weight does not always determine size) Are they fat? lol far from it. But they are involved in sports. My youngest plays soccer and is the center…

Stronglifts 5x5 gives you a youtube tutorial on how to properly lift. If you sign up on his website, he will give you his pdf and a spreadsheet that will help you to track your progress. The youtube videos are unedited so that you can see about how long the workouts take which is about 30 minutes. He did this on purpose. I…

I would like to think I do. But I probably don't. That's one of my biggest "fears" about going out to eat or eating what my husband cooks. I'm not sure on the calorie intake.

It's day 7 of the month... *puts head down in shame* :sad:

Oh, this sounds like fun!! So I'm in and here I go: My name is Diane. I'm 28 and married with 2 beautiful daughters. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and a minor in Finance. The finance minor is BS and I haven't use a single bit of it in my entire accounting career. :) I have an amazing husband that works hard for…

Go to tickerfactory.com and create a ticker. remember what your pin is. what I did was use the direct display image to post onto this board. i.e. except the img is in lowercase. Then I took the code for the blog which I believe is the first option and posted it to my own blog. everyday you can click on the link in your…

It would be hard to track calorie burn just for the simple fact that unlike cardio, you continue burning after your done lifting (let me clarify that I am talking about exercise calorie burn vs resting calorie burn). Notice how you are sore after a lifting session or doing something that your not used to? That's your body…

OK...I have to throw this out there cause I'm proud of my "frugalness" :happy:: My husband and I bought a rack/bench set with 400 lbs of weight, an Olympic bar and dumbbells WITH delivery for $120. The guy was a military man and was just needing to get rid of it. Granted we prefer metal weights to the big, bulky plastic…

Thanks so much for the explanation. I wasn't understanding a few things but now I do!! :)

My October goals are to start lifting on a regular basis. Hoping to get my husband on the 5x5 train too. He's wanting to get bigger. Start eating better as a family. Personally: Get on a lifting schedule and stick with it Eat better Knock out my 50 mile challenge Lose BF (going to the local gym for a BF test on the 31st)…

Biracial?

IN!

I am a mother to a 10 & 7 year old and wife to a husband that acts about the same age from time to time, I work full-time, part-time student, and coach a softball and basketball team. Our only free day is Saturday which leaves me to clean the house and do the house stuff UNLESS we have a tournament scheduled for that…

I'm IN!! Edited: Because I can't get my ticker to work right. :)

The new replacement for Tate I hope gets his block knocked off. My husband laughed when Dana brought that guy back. UGH!! His arrogance bothers me. Shayna needed her attitude adjusted. I think she will be the wildcard that gets to come back for another chance. I hope she's a little more humble going into her next fight. I…

There is an HRM that syncs up with the runtastic app. I absolutely love it. It tracks my miles for the month. Gives me my routes that I ran. What my pace was at wherever I pinpoint on my map. Gives me the time of day, weather, calories burned, and split pace. It also syncs up with FB and people can cheer you on and you…

Our family LOVES Halloween. This was our crew last year. My youngest loves Batman so she went as Batgirl. My oldest went as Catwoman...notice the pearls around her next?! lol And I guess you can figure who my husband and I went as. :) Love dressing up with the kids!!

My family and I are going as the Scooby Doo gang!! lol My 10 year old daughter that wears glasses is going as Velma.

I did not allow him to come to my house stoned out of his mind. To prevent that I had already filed a protective order against him because he was stalking me on campus and later had ripped a necklace off my neck and broke my glasses. That is how he ended up with a violation of a protective order. The police couldn't do…

That conversation was for a later date if they ever asked what happened and why we weren't together. My oldest daughter was also 3 years old and witnessed the whole beating scene. She also saw my face that was bruised and swollen and she understood that it hurt. Those are her experiences with him.

If they ask, I will give them the option. I won't bring it up though. They are aware that my husband is not their dad. We have informed them of the possibility of adoption. I will also inform them that I have spent the last x amount of years protecting them and doing what I saw was best. It is not healthy for them to be…

I guess I just always assumed that since there was no legal visitation in order I could control when and if he ever saw them. I had a police officer tell me once that I could file kidnapping charges against him for taking my children without my consent since he didn't have a court order to see them and they didn't know who…

My children are now 10 & 7 years of age. They were 6 & 3 when their step dad came into the picture.

The point of the child support suggestion of ONLY $20 a month for two children (our actual child support papers came down and he will have to pay me $400 per month as the base child support plus arrears) was to see that he's being responsible. I feel that any man that really and truly wants to have a relationship with his…

1. Yes, they know he isn't their biological father. 2. I don't want them to meet him at all. What your saying is I should let him back into their lives after 10 and 7 years of not caring enough to make a phone call?
