Work as in homework?

Go by yourself. It would be a major letdown to finish a race, have that huge sense of accomplishment, and then have someone complaining all the way home. I am a marathon runner, and my husband has never once come to a race. That's ok. We each have our own hobbies. I don't like going to his band performances, movies, etc.…

What were the issues that caused you to get a bad performance review? Maybe you can work on improving those while looking for a new job. The focus on improvement may help take your mind off the negative aspects of the job. And then you can use the story of how you turned it around in your interviews. Don't tell your…

Warm chocolate chip pop-tarts with ice cream are awesome. It has to be the right flavor of pop-tart. Some are just not good.

I would freeze them also.

So very much white space. It will take some adjustment.

In the afternoon when I'm ready for a break from work.

Schedule time for yourself and time for your wife to be by herself on the weekends. Make it a priority. My husband and I do that. Even on the most hectic of weeks, I know I will have a couple hours Sun afternoons to do whatever I'd like. It gives me something to look forward to.

I tell my kid that he doesn't get any more food until he eats what is on his plate. Eventually he will get hungry and eat it. With my kid, it is just a power play.

Yeah, that's pretty terrible.

My gym is 2 miles away. I probably wouldn't go if it was further than that. I get an hour to workout and don't want to spend half of it traveling.

My goal is 100 miles for October.

I don't cook much either. I just make healthier takeout choices. Subway sandwiches with lots of vegetables, panera salads, hard boiled eggs, cut up fruit and veggies from my work cafeteria....etc. it can be done. Does your work have ample refrigerator space? Sometimes I'll bring a couple bags of Steamfresh veggies, leave…

Are you recently postpartum by chance?

I work in a professional environment, so I try to look as put together as I can. I buy clothes every time I go down a size. I try to be cost conscious, shopping in clearance racks and ebay for secondhand suits. I hear management say all the time that appearance does matter and they do notice those things.

How long have you been following this regimen?

Does the gym offer classes? It might be a good way to try different things and see what you like. Spinning, water aerobics, TRX, etc.

I think it's great that they have started making Cadbury Eggs for sale around Halloween time. Once a year just wasn't enough. I get one once a week when I get groceries. Only 150 calories and stems the craving for awhile. For a healthier treat, how about a caramel apple? Or just eat the candy corn and practice the often…

This. Eat some carbs. You will need the fuel for your race. Or don't do the half marathon.

I've done something similar to #2 - say I'm going to the gym and go get breakfast instead

I'd like to join also. Thanks!

The hospice in my town is always looking for volunteers to bake treats for the families of the patients. You could see if something like that is needed where you live if your coworkers need a break.

The cops surrounded my neighbor's home with guns drawn because he was harboring a fugitive.

They jumped the shark at the cookie dough Oreos.

Have you tried LoseIt? That app does badges. I like the days counter on MFP, but emails would be too much for me.
