The not so little dress
There's a dress I bought a couple months ago that I loved and was on clearance. It was too small, but the price was hard to beat ($14 from orig. $150). It'd been hanging in my closet with tags still on until today. I pulled it out knowing that it was too small, but tried it on anyway. It's big. It's good to be wrong…

Rowing goals for 2014
Hi. For now I row exclusively indoor on a Concept II. I know it's ambitious, but I want to row 1,000,000 meters this year. It breaks down to 19,231 per week. I'll be travelling, so I'm budgeting time to do 25,000 m/week with 8 weeks off. What are your goals? Meters total? Marathons? Challenges? Let's hear 'em!

Aha! moments
Had an aha! moment today. It was a bit of a roller-coaster and on my way home I called both Olive Garden (to find out where they were) and a local cupcake place (to put things on hold). Realized it was a stress reaction, phoned the bake shop to cancel and after napping will have dinner at home. Maybe the end of 'just this…

when rejection makes you smile
NSV...at the farmers' market a new vendor was doing wine tasting (hey, we all get tempted) I was curious, but got rejected. The reason- I didn't have my ID on me and they card the young folks. Let's just say 21 was more than a few yesterdays ago. Must be all this water and cleaner eating are paying off! Felt great!…

Your opinion heard here....
What would you do? The situation: I feel good about what I ate today- clean, healthful choices. Total of 1489 cals. No hunger (its an issue for me, but that's another topic). Satisfaction with both taste and choices. The set-up: I felt good today. I felt strong today (some days I can barely walk, so this is great!) I rowed…

this may be gross, but.....
When you're sick and not everything that you eat stays down- do you adjust your food diary? Or keep the calories as counted even if you don't keep them in your belly?

Short-term goal.....
Something very important is happening in five weeks. Five weeks, 35 little days. I woke up this morning incredibly motivated. I told myself, "don't think about the five weeks, think about one meal at a time, one decision to move at a time." I can do anything for one time. It's the making that choice-the right choice over…

How I got here
My entire life , I'd been very in shape. Not just healthy weight, but strong. In high school, I was the girl who got up at 5am to go run before classes. In the Navy, I maxed out consistantly on our pt evals. When I worked in contruction, I would get up early to run before our long days of heavy labor. In the off season, my…

Saying goodbye
Have you had any trouble saying goodbye to things? I've lost 15 lbs, but at 5'2" that means my old clothes already look ridiculous. It's been hard to let them go. I was going to give them to my cousin cousin, but she's aslo using mfp and having success at a much faster rate than me. So, beutiful clothes with noone to wear…
