New Swimmer!
Hi! My name is Michele and I’m a work from home mom with rheumatoid arthritis. New swimmer! I’m an okay swimmer and know how to flip turn, but I’m new to swimming laps for fitness.

Looking for a few clean eating friends :)
I've been on and off of MFP for a while. Had to take most of last year off due to crazy health issues and surgery in June, but I got the "all clear" from my surgeon in mid-December and I'm back!! I'd love to find a few clean-eating friends. I'm not a purist, but judging by the discussions I've peeked in on, it seems like…

They're kind, encouraging people, but almost everyone is eating at a…

Conversations with my body
I feel like there are so many times when I honestly have a conversation with my body. Lately, it's become more friendly with less bullying from me followed by fewer FUs from my body... so it's good. Just after lunch was a fun one. My body: "I'm starving." Me: "I just fed you." My body: "Still hungry." Me: "Okay, but I need…

Saying Hi :)
I've been on and off of MFP a for a long time. After having to take everything easy after surgery last June, I'm back on again. Earlier this week, I made two friends (yay!) and decided to stop being such a MFP a hermit. A bit about me... Ran track in high school, but injured my knee my junior year. For 12 years after that,…
