Oh Oh...I want to add those to my favorite list too. If anyone gets a chance they should read these books. They are riviting!

I read a lot as well...I tend to gravitate towards book series because I like to follow a long storyline. The books mentioned below are my favorite. Since I go through books so quickly I will go to my local library and check out about 7 - 10 books every few weeks. I will grab the ones recommended by staff or just take a…

My second interview went well I thought. I am just praying now. They are familiar with what I offer the company since I have been there for 5 months as a temp. If what I offer isn't enough, then it isn't the perfect job I thought it was. I hope to find out soon! Thank you all for your ongoing support!:flowerforyou:

I have my second interview in 30 minutes!

What I got out of it was that people were not properly tracking their calories in vs. calories out, therefore were eating too much. They could have more to eat but didn't have an understanding of how much more.

I am also on 1200 calories a day. It can be tough at times. I found the best way for me to work with them is to view them as money. I tend to be a bit frugel with my money :laugh: So I start off the day with $1200. If I want to eat something it will cost me a certain amount of money. Do I really need to spend my money on…

Last year I did a sprint and they did have a changing area. Even though it sounds uncomfortable, get a tank/shorts set and wear those for the entire race with a sports bra, including the swim portion. It is really nice not having to worry about changing during the race. Both my sister and I were heavier set last year when…

I found out today that I made it through to the second interview!! I think only 2 people did (one other person and me). I also found out that I was incorrect before. Over 700 people applied for the job...I made it to the final two. I can't wait to show them why they should hire me!! I saw on the schedule that they blocked…

I had my interview and was told that it went really well. I won't hear anything further on it until the end of the week but I am keeping my fingers crossed!

I also had my scale hidden. When I first started I would weight myself every two weeks, then every week, then every 5 days...pretty soon it got to where I was weighing myself a few times a day. At first it was because I loved seeing those lower numbers come up over and over again but pretty soon it started to get…

3 miles is huge! Great job!

3 miles is huge! Great job!

I put on a pair of jeans today and didn't even realize they were ones that haven't fit in 2 years until I got to work. They were the jeans I kept in my closet just in case one day I woke up and had lost the weight I gained over the last few years. They were the only ones I hadn't gotten rid of because it felt like I was…

I found that the easiest way to keep going was to not think of it as a diet. To me the word diet is associated with all the yummy things that I am not allowed to have. This site has helped me make a lifestyle change, learning how much I can eat and still succeed at what I want. One of my weaknesses is real Mac & Cheese,…

My interview is in 20 minutes....nervous!!

mmm...wine. I had to make a choice this week between trying a questionable wine (wine with a giant question mark on the label) or happy wine (a giant smiley face), I went with the Happy wine. Some days I work extra hard and burn a little more just to have that glass of wine during dinner. It's worth it :drinker:

Thank you all, I really appreciate it! I'm really thankful for even the opportunity of being considered for this job and also for MFP for being so supportive.

I finally have an interview lined up! I have been out of permanent work since last May. I was lucky to be placed at a great place by a temp agency. The contract was originally only supposed to be 2 months but it was extended to 5 months, so I was able to get through the holidays. I have been saving like crazy because even…

Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down And Id like to take a minute just sit right there Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air In west philadelphia born and raised On the playground where I spent most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool And all…

I also ride my bike every morning but only for 20 or so minutes. I burn 169 calories. To be sure of what you are burning you should get a HRM, it will giv eyou the most accurate count. For now, I would go with the smaller amount. Then at least you are going over your calories unintentionally.

Strange...I just posted a link to this article in the Superbowl Sunday post. I knew someone else had to see this article! My tummy hurts just looking at it...I don't do well with grease.:sick: I really like bacon though so it does sound good.....:grumble:

If I go to any parties, I will just watch what I have and make sure to exercise for at least an hour. One guy said he was going to serve the food at the link below. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html?_r=1&no_interstitial It's called the Bacon Explosion, contains bacon, cheese, sausage, at least 5000…

Every year after Christmas, I take a deep breathe and relax knowing that the temptation of holiday goodies is gone. No longer do I holiday confections make their way into my dreams in the form of ninjas who stalk me in the kitchen, at work, and in friend and families' homes. The decorations have come down. The cheery music…

I would suggest starting out by running for 2-3 minutes, then walking for 2-3 minutes (alternating) for 30 minutes 3 times a week, giving yourself 1 day between each run. Each week, add a little more to your running times and take away from your walking times until you reach running solid for 30 minutes. Doing this will…

I am interested in this as well! The farthest I've gone is 50-something miles and I think a 100+ride would be something very challenging to work up to.

It's a combination of strength and cardio. The dvd comes with 3 levels of workouts. The first level is what is suggested to start out with and then move on to level two and three when you feel ready. I have to say that it is a kick in the butt. I thought that level one would be easy since I train 6-7 days a week but it was…

I found this right as I took the first bite of a brownie...:devil: I'm splurging on this delicious confection. I still have a very big swim workout tonight (500+ calories will be burned) so I will burn it off.

I added sugar and then took it off about a week later after failing each day to stay within the recommendations. I love candies/cookies but only eat them in moderation, maybe one or two dark chocolate kisses a day or every few days so that wasn't the problem. I was going over because I eat so much fruit during the day. I…

Have you ran the course before? It is so much fun, especially when you are at the top of the express lanes looking back down 5th Avenue and seeing thousands of people behind you. I didn't do the half last year because i hadn't been training enough but i am totally going to do it this year. Their finisher's shirts are my…
