Spaghetti squash is also good for the spaghetti idea, you just cut it in half scoop out the seeds and bake it. i'm going to try to Spinach idea too!! Can you re-freeze spinach?? I live by myself and would like to try frozen spinach in eggs, was thinking of thawing out a brick of spinach, cutting it into individual…

I used a cup of spaghetti sauce mixed with 1/2 cup philly cream cheese cooking creme (savory herb i think), baked some turkey sausage and then made 4 meals for myself out of it.. (works out to about 450 cal meal) SO GOOD! and super quick! I'm single so cooking for me is a chore :)

I agree with most other posts here, I've had such a difficult time meeting a quality person that I don't really think the calendar would have any effect on whether to start dating them or not.

Alone. Totally miss the days when all hell breaks loose, but you hold on to your **** because you know at the end of the day someone will be there to listen to your version of the **** storm and help you find a positive perspective. Or at least tell you, you did the best you could. Really miss that.. I wonder why it is so…

play games with yourself while running.. dedicate miles to certain important people in your life and concentrate on why you are grateful for them, concentrate on breathing, form, checking in with certain body parts, doing a head to toe scan , singing (in your head or outloud), coming up with weird retirement plans, playing…

I bought a sewing machine, 5 foor 2 inches tall and 18 inch calves are a tough mix.. sometimes i buy Jeans to fit the leg and then take in the waist, and shorten :)

dumb question but what is HFCS? Nevermind.... i found it..

I think it totally depends on how your training runs have gone... Personally, I start out slow anyways (always have, just that type of runner) it takes me awhile to "warm up" anyways, so starting a long race/training run, I just pretend the first 4 min are part of my warm up. I have a similar pace/timing to you and did my…

i usually put the date bought on the inside of the arch in sharpie, and then use my garmin log to find out milage on a shoe.. i'm not as organized as some of the above posters :) I usually get anywhere between 500 - 800 K out of a pair of shoes. i find Saucony tend to last a bit longer than Brooks, and about as long as…

Sometimes the hardest part of getting support is asking those around you for what you need.

I LOVE the Oatmeal!!!

LOL!!!

Yay!!! it's nice that someone actually noticed this post :) I just got back from camping:) It was a nice get away, but i overdid it yesterday.. Just means a little extra work this week :)

Done @ pech

Breathable ball cap, keeps my short hair covered so I don't look like a total dork.

I step on the scale everyday, minus the week I'm PMSing.... then i'm good :)

I feel a new Christmas cookie fad diet coming on... eat nothing but Christmas cookies thanksgiving to New years, and crunch and squat your way to a fab body :)

Please go ahead and add me too.. I've just found MFP, and am back to training after a hip flexor injury. I've gained about 20 lbs in recovery, and need a little motivation to get back to the good stuff :)

Take it out of your wristband and tap it to get into sleep mode. I've noticed my fitbit misses ALOT of steps (* k run on my Garmin this morning= about 11000 steps) Fit bit only registered 9000 steps. Anyone else have this problem?

This sounds really dumb, but I was way more accountable to other people than i was to myself. So I used that, and started going to WW. I used this to "train" myself on how to eat properly.. It's still such hard work, and not for the faint of heart. Probably the toughest thing i've ever done. Thankfully it lead to me…

Feel the fear and do it anyways :) My motto for 2014... I can't wait for a new year to change my motto !

LOVE the post - I fell off my MTN bike on a first date.. I crashed into my date because I was staring at his butt:blushing: needless to say , there was no second date :sad:

Running in heels is do-able, you just have to practice :)

sports bras are usually pretty ugly.. it's a fact.. When you are trying to control that much tissue you need some pretty serious engineering. My fav is a shock absorber brand with two clips in the back (more support)... and PLEASE go get properly fit :) Save the cute bras for the sassy dress on date night :)

feel the fear , and do it anyways :)

Make sure you have good shoes!! By that i mean go to someone that knows a bit about running ( ie. running specific store) and get them to look at how you walk , and help you pick out shoes.. Happy feet = happy biomechanics = Happy Runner :)

Friend away peeps.. ESPECIALLY if you are a runner :) I am just coming back from a hip flexor injury, but I teach Learn to Run, 5 K and 10 K clinics here in the Great White North.. If you have any questions, or just need some help.. ask.. I may not always have the answers, but I'll try my best :)

dean.. Depends on what's causing the plantar ... The only way to find out is to see your foot doc.. Mine was cured by losing weight, and CUSTOM made orthotics. Also, how long have you been running in your current pair of shoes? and did you buy them at a running specialty place where they look at your gait? ( basic…

@punky raCHEL_ WOW!!!

oops.. too slow
