I actually work on my college campus. That's why it's hard to get to the gym. I work from 8:30-4 weekdays and right now the gym is open from 8-4:30. By the time I finish work and get over there I'd have like 15-20 minutes which isn't long enough for me to get in what I'd like to get in. Same with morning, not enough time…

I think you are all hitting the mark! I've started a half marathon training schedule but I haven't signed up for the race yet... I'm having reservations about it and don't know if I can afford the registration fee right now (stupid college student budget). I try to crosstrain but it's hard to get to the gym/pool, and I'm…

I had my goal of running a local 15K race (9.3 miles) and completed it Sunday. Maybe that's the problem, maybe I feel like it's aimless running right now. I usually do a long run of 6-8 miles on Saturdays, but I find them much less enjoyable. I'm just in a funk...

I'm also a morning-er. My fiance gets up early for work so instead of laying in bed alone for another 45 mins (give or take) when I'm already awake I get up and get it done. I'm usually out there by 6:15 at the latest. I've come to love how it calms me and gets me ready for the day. I also think morning is better because…

I agree with what everyone else pretty much said. It depends on your comfort level and size. I'm a 34DD, so there's no way these girls go unsupported :-/, however if you have the physique where you can go braless without fear of bouncing and runaway boobs then by all means! I know I'm usually jealous of girls with smaller…

I tell my fiance that the proper way to drive is to get the hell out of my way. I absolutely HATE when people run stop signs, don't know what a YEILD means, and go under the speed limit while in the passing lane!

Yayyyy! i know we shouldn't go by a number on a tag, but damn doesnt it feel good? :p

I understand how that is really frustrating. I know exactly what you mean about others progressing more, but soon she, too will hit a plateau. The pounds do seem to drop off quicker if you have more to lose. Have you thought about ramping up your exercise? One thing I tell myself when I find I'm comparing myself to others…

I want this. I really really really want this. Like more than anything. *sigh* stupid college student budget... :(

before my fiance was my fiance and we just hung out he got a girls number by sitting next to her at a mall food court table and surprisedly saying "oh, i'm sorry i thought i knew you!" lmao I still pick on him about it :p

if you're like me you wolf it down and then don't even remember enjoying it. then crave another... not worth it. Try thinking about all the process that donut went through to get to what it is. and how the FDA allows certain amounts of bug/animal parts and FECES in foods... pretend said donut came from one of those…

lol I do this too! especially with swimming. I break it up into hundreds or fifties. :)

"suck it up" "push through it" "you got this" "breathe" "it will be over before you know it and think how good you'll feel" Sometimes I just think about how a year ago I NEVER would have been able to do it.

also 20 yrs old :) add it up!!

the only one I don't like are walnuts, unless they're straight from the tree....

trim up. keep everything neat and tidy but DONT shave down there... the stubbles growing back friggin hurt when it's time to get it on...

Mine was kinda like another on here. We had hung out for a while before and were friends and such before this date. I don't even remember what we did most of the night, but we arrived back at my house and hooked up. Then hooked up again because the first one took him literally like 2 minutes or less to get off. Then after…

2 years and 2 months :) I can't believe it's been so long!!! It feels so new and exciting still :p

My workout playlist, as of today, in alphabetical order, with all their BPMs.... psh, I'm not a nerd or anything... 85 Asteroids Galaxy Tour – The Golden Age 150 Avril Lavigne – What the Hell 173 Avril Lavigne – He Wasn’t 82 Awolnation – All I Need 95 Awolnation – Kill Your Heroes 141 Basshunter – I Can Walk on Water…

I'm taking a self-defense class next semester, like some of the other posters on this thread. I run alone and feel that it would really help me feel more secure and safe. Also, I'm working towards being a social worker, and one never knows what position they might find themselves in for that profession. Especially if my…

It's true... one can't win either way. Turn to them and say "okay then, devise my diet and exercise routine until I fit your perfect standards. It'll be me and you one on one every day for the next 6 months plus. No? Okay, then shut the F*K up." <in the most sarcastic biting tone one can muster. :)

I EASILY eat more than my fiance. He eats like a nauseous bird. I eat like a tiger. No clue why but you're not alone!

Did my run even though I really didn't want to, and broke an 8 minute mile!!!!! Really made me proud of myself because a year ago that NEVER would have been possible. Shows me that all the hard work I've done hasn't been for nothing. :)

^^THIS!! everything she said I one hundred percent agree with. Except I just started on my own run/walk intervals and didn't follow a program. consistency is the key as well. if you stop for a week or two in the beginning phases it will set you back farther than you'd think. once you're conditioned more days of rest don't…

lmao. not what i was expecting :p

Anyone can be a runner. I never thought I was because running used to make my vision black out for like 15 seconds or so at a time. Then I bought a treadmill and started doing the walk/jog thing. It took me about a month to be running for a substantial amount of time.

either capri yoga pants or slightly longer inseams on the shorts helps :)

It probably burns about the same as running... Because jump roping burns more than running but on the trampoline, you have that momentum still going from the springs. Jump roping you have to push off every time without that momentum. In running you have a little momentum too... Since you are working a more concentrated…

I fluctuate between japan and china haha

agreed. even when I was going through puberty I never broke out as much as now! mine is all along my forehead and hairline from sweaty workouts... all we can do is shower right after and hope for the best! (if anyone else has a better plan let me know)
