Great idea. Thanks, Yvonne for reviving us. I need all the help I can get to reduce my stress.

I am from Ohio and I have heard that phrase a lot.

Wow, just wow.

You mean this one, Twi? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaXt_5dBF14

Sunday check in: I didn't track water but I know I was way over, no problems there. Strength/cardio: cleaned bathroom, rode bike as cross training day. That may not seem like an alternative exercise but you all know I want to be running instead. Laughing: Umm, please don't check my texts between me and my buddy Esther.…

I seriously had to stop looking. I just had to.

Scruffy Rob for the win!

Fitness: I ran 12 miles for the first time. Fun: I saw 2 really great concerts with really great friends. Monday was Dulahan, one of my favorite Celtic bands. This was a semi, sort of date. Friday I saw the Cincinnati Pops concert with my son. Good times!!

"You've been waiting your whole life for Sir Ector to ****e himself to death?" Wat to William in A Knight's Tale

Wrong! Charlie Pride.

I think if more people thought like the OP and a few others my paycheck would be bigger each week. Go ahead and attack me, I can take it.

English, Scottish or Irish. Yep definitely Irish.

Barbocoa burrito with brown rice, black beans, green salsa, lettuce and cheese. I eat half and save the other half for the next day.

^^^ You beat me to it. You are so right. I tell people this every day and they think I am nuts but it is very true. The acid etches the enamel rods of your teeth making them brittle. If you brush right away you will erode the enamel much faster. The key to drinking soda, diet or otherwise safely is to limit the exposure…

I agree! Best story yet!!

Thou shalt use turn signals appropriately and move your vehicle promptly when the light turns green.

Oh my gosh!! I was like, "I didn't say that". Until you said Brian. Haha. I am pathetic.

Bumping just to confuse people with the pics! HAHA. I hope you get some answers.

Thanks! It may be even more helpful to know what not to buy. I hate wasting good money.

Thanks for all your answers. That gives me a lot of options to look into and places to do some research. I knew you guys would know!!

Abscessed tooth? If the tooth is infected it would hurt worse when your heart rate in increased. Maybe it is in the early stages and doesn't bother you at other times yet. Also, it could be the gums infected or inflamed around the tooth. It is worth a trip to the dentists to get it checked out.

Only if you expect to be chased by a Wooly Mammoth. Then you better not eat it. Just kidding!!!

♥♥♥ I used to think that I would get to a place where tracking wasn't necessary. I have found that when I am lax about it the weight creeps back up. I don't log every single day now but most days I do. it really keeps things in focus.

I lost the bulk of my weight using MFPs calorie burns. I have been using a HRM for over a year now and the burns are pretty darn close to what MFP says.

I cannot eat before a run either. If I run in the morning, I just don't eat. If I run in the afternoon or evening I make sure it has been a while since I have eaten anything. If it is an easy run it isn't too bad. If I want a long hard workout I can't eat for several hours before or I will be barfy. I have never actually…

Fleetwood Freaking Mac. I know they are old but everyone my age is supposed to worship them as some demi gods. I have never liked them. In fact I hate them more today than ever.

Ditto!!

I raised 3 young men to adulthood without anyone dying. By myself. Alone. Bring on the zombie apocalypse. I am ready!

Everyone learns and is motivated differently. I know many people who are certainly not interested in contact sports and would shy away from it. That's why being exposed to a variety of things is best. Each person can choose what works for them.

I wish I had been exposed to different things like this in gym class. I was pretty uncoordinated and did not do well with the traditional volleyball, basketball and soccer. I was always one of those to be picked last for teams. I hated gym. This may have been fun. If I had more of a variety of physical activities to choose…
