@moonchild532 I will! Thank you!

@MamaHokie Same here! I think the furthest I ran was 7 or 8, but now a mile is a challenge! I know if I stick it out it the endurance will come back quickly! Thanks for adding me :)

@juliet3455 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

drink a lot of water! and yeah I would try to go to bed. But don't feel bad if you have to eat before bed, just make it as healthy as possible! and you'll only "fail" if you give up for good. Tomorrow is another start :)

I am back on mfp after a long break. 33, have 2 kids, am looking to lose at least 30lbs. I would love to find some mfp friends who run. I am trying to regain my enthusiasm for it after being lazy for the last year.

I like this thread idea, it's something I kind of do in my head on my own so I think writing it down today would help! Just for today I will focus on how I feel. My overeating comes from not dealing with my emotions. So if I eat out of boredom, frustration, or sadness, I need to just let those feelings happen and wait for…

I used to feel the same way. I would get totally discouraged if I gained any weight back and gave up. But eventually I realized that there really isn't an "end goal." Even if you reach your goal weight, you will still have to work just as hard to maintain it. So you really can only fail if you give up. If you can just work…

I just logged in today after I don't even know how long, I don't think I've logged anything in 2 years! Welcome back, hope we both get some motivation being back :)

Just got mine Sunday and love it! Add me please :) screen name: aliselmx

When I run outside I think about things that are stressing me out. When I run on the treadmill at the gym I am usually people watching, lol. Strength training I just think about how much I want it to be done :)

neon! I can't wait to wear some of my China Glaze neons but it just isn't warm or sunny enough yet in Wisconsin for that to feel right :) RIght now I have a burgundy color on my nails, and it is a rainy day here right now so it is fitting :)

double majored in Accounting and Finance woohoo

I change my polish almost every day, it is so relaxing to me! :) I don't think I switch it up according to mood, I think the weather influences my polish choices more than my moods.

I feel like I have been on a gain/loss cycle for about 6 years. Since I had my son. My cycles are sort of long, where I will lose weight and keep it off for a year or more, then gain for a year or so. The thing that freaks me out is that each time I gain, I always gain more than the last time. So it's a constant struggle…

idk. For some reason, being shorter than me is like the ONE physical thing I wouldn't like. Looks, weight, etc I can deal with, but height would be a dealbreaker for some reason. One inch wouldn't be that bad, but then you might feel weird wearing high heels. My husband is a few inches taller than me which is perfect for…

I buy pretty much all of my black stretchy yoga-type pants either at Target or places like TJ Maxx. TJ Maxx is good for sports bras too. Victoria's Secret has some good sports bras too, but the good ones are expensive so I only have a couple of those and the rest from TJ Maxx. Shirts I buy wherever, usually cotton tanks or…

this topic reminds me of some lyrics in that ani difranco song, "32 flavors." I always thought this part was really interesting, bc it was the first time I heard something like this in a song, or even in general, bc i had never really thought about it - "and god help you if you are an ugly girl course too pretty is also…

that's really good. I pay $65/mo. $75 when I add my 5 year old son, but they have free day care if you add them, which is awesome. No contract, there are free classes but I'm not a class-taker. the hours are good, they have 2 pools and all that, and they have swim classes for my kiddo. I can also go to any other locations…

BUMP. awesome!

My husband has a strong jawline, I love it. I was just telling him today that he could be the next "batman" lol!

i hated it too. I gradually eased myself into drinking a lot of it. I started by drinking diet sodas instead of regular (I don't like diet so that was hard too), then I switched to water from there. This was mostly at work where we have a fridge full of soda and water. I let myself have one soda a week (a diet though). At…

my first guess is pregnant... lol

you may want to just go back to the previous week. That way, you know you can do it and you won't feel like you're failing. I think it's pretty common for people to repeat weeks if they think they need to. I've never done C25K but some of my friends have. don't panic! :) it's great that you are doing it, and soon you will…

I weigh naked in the morning right before I get in the shower, after I go to the bathroom, making sure to wash my hands to get any heavy germs off, no lotion, no jewelry, no nothin' Lol i'm only exaggerating a little :)

I love their frozen food section. Also the two-buck chuck :) I dont go there often bc it's way on the other side of town for me, but this summer one is opening a couple miles from my house, im so excited!

I have never really been a breakfast person. It has always been my least favorite meal. My stomach is way more sensitive in the morning so I'm pretty limited in what I can eat. Lately instead of fighting it I've just been listening to my body and not eating a big breakfast. I usually eat a banana and maybe some other…

I've taken a break from mfp before too. It lasted almost 2 months I think. I know what you mean, its almost like you want to reset everything and start again. If you think that you will definitely come back, then maybe go ahead and don't log your food for a while. But I would still log in and try to stay active in maybe…

Yeah I am such a bad measurer. I usually just eyeball it. And I know I can't be very accurate :)
