um?

I could eat a whole friggin pizza after a bottle of wine, something I could easily get away with when I was marathon training...not so much when I spent my whole day at a desk and then on the couch.

Seriously. So did I. I actually had to wean myself off the quantities I used to enjoy with mineral waters and the like. I bought a 4-pack of La Fin Du Monde last week and had exactly one over the weekend. Every time I open my fridge I hear that pretty *clink* sound and point at one of them and say "you're next, buddy. you…

I'm chortling over here.

Hot dogs=fat/carbs/protein. Could be worse!

I've learned that 9/10 times I drink enough alcohol, I lose ability to exercise willpower control: I will eat all the things on top of drinking all the things. The way I can stuff myself after a few drinks is almost impressive. I haven't cut out alcohol altogether, but these days I don't have more than two drinks a week,…

Hopelessly in love with Lee Pace forever into eternity.

Yoga is no friggin joke. It may not build up the same kind of sweat that circuit training, heavy lifting, or running can, (okay, in certain instances, it can), but it will certainly test your balance and how well you think you control your body.

I learned this when I joined karate classes as a teenager. The confidence I developed over time, learning how my body moves and having that mind/body connection just *click*, is something I'll never forget. It definitely keeps me from giving up on physical activities I may not be great at, just starting out.

Congratulations on getting engaged! Try not to stress so much about it, just stay healthy, eat well enough to be energetic for the big day. :)

I should make banana muffins this weekend.

Egg McMuffin is about as healthy as drive-thru breakfasts can get, honestly. I don't see why that's sabotage, I see it as something to keep in mind if I'm ever out in a rush.

Just came in here to say YES MA'AM

I was gonna chastise, but you did in fact say "one-use". Phew.

This makes me sad. I like a nice pair of legs, and I'm definitely into a fine a**.

My fitspo is Michelle Rodriguez.

OP it looks like you're open to the idea of doing things the right way. I'm glad you're ready to ditch the snake oil. :)

Based on this and your other posts, OP: Ditch this "doctor".

This sounds absolutely terrifying. I wish people would just stop trying to make it so dangerous and complicated to lose weight.

Doing some spring cleaning and finding my tiny running shorts from the last half marathon I ran, and not even trying to put them on because I KNEW they wouldn't fit.

I actually don't mind kale. I sautee it and add it to scrambles or throw it into smoothies.

I'm always surprised what kind of evil get rich quick schemes are sold to desperate people who just want to be better. I guess I'm not that far down the cynicism abyss yet.

What kind of crazy DoctorOzery quack nonsense is this?

I wish running wasn't used as a punishment in sports/in school gym classes. I think this contributes to people's disdain for it. I've always loved running, but doing it for fitness and exercise wasn't easy at first. C25k is a good place to start. After years off from running, I'm right back there with the beginners.…

I haven't cut out alcohol completely, but my drinking has been drastically reduced. I had one whole beer all last week. That's usually how it goes these days.

*stars this*

I'm definitely eating ice cream for a second day in a row today. That's what this thread did for me.

lmao. Me too.

Lies. Yes you do.

Is ice cream not from earth?
