Thanks. Christmas is coming, and I am amazed how many folks bring cookies to me, even though I'm a trainer. It's hard having them in the house, though, because I LOVE cookies. Yes, I can pass them on, but they are still in the house. And I hate that I have to deny myself so many times. It's not hard to deny wearing a…

From a trainer: That would be me. Listen to your trainer. Hopefully your trainer completely understands your goals, your abilities, your strengths, and everything else, but you've got to tell her your concerns. Is she doing the same kind of workouts with all her clients? If she is, you need to find another trainer. One…

YOu are sooooooooooo welcome!

I thought I knew my geography, but I'm admittedly stumped. Where is SK?

You're all doing great! I wonder if they stopped putting weight on driver's licenses because they know that we....uh fib a little. But no more, will I fib.

woohoo! That's great!

Aha! I see that on your sig! Great job!

Congratulations! So how long before you renew your license?

This is over 2 decades personal trainer talking here. And I learned squats from an olympic lifting national champion, who was a colleague and highly qualified certified trainer. She taught me to start with hands at my chest. I actually hold two dumbbells like a chest pass in basketball. That way, if you lean over too far,…

OH yeah, just for fun....no political statement intended. I have been told I look like Sarah Palin, so in 2008, a couple days before the election, I dressed up as her. There were people standing on the street corner with Obama signs who actually thought I was her. It was one of the strangest days I've ever had. All day…

This is dated a year, but do you remember Prince Poppycock from America's Got Talent? Sharon Osborne called him the male Lady Gaga. So last year, I was Lady "bug" Gaga, and my husband was Prince Poppycock "roach." I have pics, if you want to see them. It was a lot of fun. I figured it was too easy to just be Lady Gaga, we…

yep, tha'ts what I do. I have everything I make often in my recipe file. You can also click quick tools under each meal, and click remember meal, give it a name, and when you eat the same thing again, you click "add food" then the meals tab, or the recipe tab, wherever you filed it. That's what my green smoothie is, and…

uh huh! I"ll "break it down" now. And now you can "Move your body, move your body." (sung in my , uh wannabe Beyonce' voice)

Congrats! Welcome to the family of runners!

every week, and what really lifts me is I lead the kids music.....They know their basics, and they understand that divine love thing real well. Having a way to serve at church makes it easier to go, and for me, prepares me that much more to get what I need from it. It's a win win situation. And I guess, due to MFP rules,…

yeah, you animal!

see? I thought the same thing. lol

Oh, "Qarol" could it be, you're just like me? Not ever wanting to rain on anyone's parade because I know some of you really like her videos, but when I saw this post, I thought maybe she was in prison or something....And I was curious. I'm not wishing she was in prison. Just curious. But the girl just doesn't do it for me.…

ummm.....a lot of stuff out there available for "reading" and a "little research" is incomplete and is only that... information. Often one piece of information conflicts with another because the information comes from people trying to sell their book. Whenever I have posted anything on this forum, it has come from one of…

I agree a good trainer would absolutely never say that to a client. I'm on this site to lose weight myself, and I've been a trainer and instructor since 1983. But,as has been said, a trainer can teach you how to not waste time, and get the most you can out of the gym, or for that matter anything you do. I own my gym, and I…

My little sister has travelled to 8 different states to see Dave Matthews. What she didn't know was that he worked out at the gym that I worked at for a while. And no, I'm not going to say which one. Besides I don't think he's there any more. I've been gone for 7 years from that place. But yeah, I'm old, and when I first…

and if you are not vegan or vegetarian, Oberto makes a nice lean turkey jurkey with no msg. Also skim, cheese sticks are great. Are you hiking while you're out? My favorite thing about car camping is getting up before everyone else and getting in a run or walk in that early morning air. If there is a lake or a stream, I…

Car camping, I assume? If so, fresh fruit is a huge winner. instant otameal pouches. I cook up zuchinni this time of year, with some sundried tomatoes and wrap it in foil, and stick it in a ziplock. Then I throw it and a chicken breast or a salmon fillet on the bbq, when everyone else is having hamburgers and hot dogs. I…

Be flattered and continue to go, and maybe notice someone else who is always at the gym, and give that person a friendly thumbs up! Good job, I think you should be encouraged!

Good, so will I!!!! Love him, love him, love him.

I saw the tour. Seattle was second on the list back in July. He was amazing live, although they only gave him two songs on his own, and appeared briefly in 3 others. Compare that with Pia, who sang in 8 numbers, and I found it disappointing. But he brought down the house, doing "Sweet Child of Mine" and "uprising".....he…

Deal with: "If you missed yesterdays announcement, James Durbin has officially signed with Wind-up Records. He will be managed by 19 Entertainment’s President, Iain Pirie, GM Josh Klemme and Red Light Management’s Mark DiDia. “Wind-up Records isn’t a label, it’s a family and I wanted to be a part of that. They are true…

Paul McCartney American tour last summer. He only played in 10 cities. And since my daughter knew he would be in town when I was planning on visiting her, she surprised my with floor seats to his concert for my birthday. Without a doubt the best concert ever. Not only did he sing as many crowd pleasing classics as…

Thanks John. Read my last post, and you can message me, or share what you feel appropriate here. I hope I'm explaining what I'm looking for.

See, I'm on autopay for a lot of my bills. So how do I log and subtract from budgeted amounts in categories, when they've already been taken out, and I'm not writing a check, paying with cash or swiping a card? Is that what quickbooks does or some of these others? Sorry I'm so stupid about this, but I have only used spread…
