There is an organization called Overeaters Anonymous that helps with this type of addiction. If addiction is truly what it is, it's more than just temptation--it is a complex emotional/physical connection that keeps a feedback loop. Consider possibly trying an OA meeting if you think it might help. Good luck!…

Not strange at all. I love fish in tomato sauce.

Pan-seared roast chicken breast with onion soup-cooked brown rice.

Aww... you make me sad with this. You can't even get the full significance of Sarah Jane's encounter with the 10th Doctor if you haven't seen the 4th Doctor... and that takes you back to the 70s.

YES! I can't believe he's going to do it, but I'm just drooling about it!

Start with the original. The new one is good, too, but just doesn't work without the original. Besides, you're not there if you can't name your favorite Doctor (4, here).

Geek cred requires The Doctor.

I was a nerd and a geek and etc. before any of it was cool. I liked school and was good at math, science, literature, languages; and I still research trivia and love just KNOWING stuff; not to mention that I'm a singer, with particular interest in jazz, opera, and art song (new releases--feh). Oh, and I do all the…

If you're a female, you are very unlikely to gain a "ton" of muscle, no matter how much weight you lift. Our bodies just aren't made that way. So lift more if you're using weights! Don't be afraid of it. The more you lift, the more you'll tone and the slimmer you'll look. I found some great body weight exercises on…

Going to turn over again soon... I added another 3.6 miles this morning... Now up to 27.7 for the month! Only 33 to go... give or take.

4 mile hike up and down in rather rocky terrain today. I'll take it! 24.1 miles running and hiking to date. Love it!

I am quite a foodie. If I had to give up the wonderful variety of foods in the world in order to be healthy, I'd be depressed all the time. Amazingly, I have been able to keep healthy and enjoy eating the foods I love, cook more fresh foods, and not feel like I'm being deprived. And I'm getting more and more healthy by the…

SImply put, no you wouldn't. You'd get more tired, you'd hurt yourself, and then you wouldn't be able to work out for a few weeks. That's not going to speed anything up. As others have said, take it slow. Why rush it? That'll just throw your body into shock, and it won't do what you want it to. Don't worry about losing…

Today: 4.5 miles MTD: 20.1 miles I know I said I was only going to count my runs, but this weekend we're hiking, and I don't know if I am going to get in runs given that. So I will count my hikes if I don't run, and my runs if I do. ;) One way or the other the numbers will go up when I update again.

I know my happy weight is around 125-127. My body's happy weight, at present, is 130-135, but I know that's partly because I let it get that way. I'm starting some good weight training and trying somewhat of an increase in calories to see if perhaps that will help. My wrist and height confirm for me that I'm basically a…

And add 3.3 miles for today...

Added another 5.5 miles running today... :)

When I feel run down, I like eating some good whole grain pasta with a marinara sauce or a cheese sauce, and cooked broccoli. Easy, good vitamins, and comforting.

Indeed on the idea that the fun of it is more important, which is why I was always more interested in Faire than in SCA, though I appreciated the opportunity to learn relatively unknown raunchy songs... ;) I have a friend who is a history teacher who once said to me, "If they're that concerned about authenticity, why…

3.38 Today 6.8 MTD Woohoo!

*laugh* Don't feel too bad. Had to use grommets on my new kirtle as I didn't have time to sew the eyelets... Shame shame...

Not a part of any guilds, and not as involved as I'd love to be... Hubby and I were nominal SCAdians years ago (were in a SCAdian wedding of our best friends, which is when I made hubby's garb... sadly don't have that dress of mine anymore), but never got as involved then as I wanted to be, either. Had too many interests…

Am I correct that you're picking for ALL the bridesmaids? That's what your post implies... Definitely #2. Personally, I think it's cuter, but that's not my main reason. Quite simply, not everyone can rock a platform--either looks-wise OR comfort-wise. You're going to be on your feet for a long time, and the platform might…

To do everything in my power to avoid the heart disease that is so prevalent in my family.

The only reason I caution you not to continually exceed the goals is because they're set to help you avoid injury. When I first started C25K, I overdid it and ended up with a strained ankle that put me on the sidelines for a month. In the first two weeks or so it's probably not a problem, but after that be careful. Don't…

I'm in for the first time this month. I'm going to count my running only, to start. Maybe next month I'll add in my walking, too. Looking forward to running 60 miles in the month of August! :) ETA: Oh, and I'm already nearly 3.5 miles in... :)

I'll echo another reader's implication: are you taking rest days? Your body needs time to heal up for the next big push. C25K encourages working out only every other day. If you haven't been taking them, give it a try for a little while. I also think you're probably right about the water. It's amazing what symptoms can be…

I would say start with that, yes. Remember, you will likely put on some weight in the first two weeks as your body adjusts. You'll have to let yourself do it longer than that. Then reassess in a month or two. Losing weight takes time if you want to do it right. Make it a habit, a new way of looking at eating and…

Here's a TDEE calculator. Be honest about the energy you expend each day. A nursing mother should expect to need an extra 300-500 calories per day, and perhaps more, depending on how often and how much you're nursing (in other words, if you're normally sedentary, up your answer to at least "light exercise" to account for…

You're nursing and only eating 1500 calories? How often do you nurse? Your own body may require that much calorie intake to function, and you're giving some of it away to your baby. That can throw your body into some major confusion. You may be eating too little, which can temporarily cause your body to hold on to the fat…
