Doctor Who Exercise Game
I have recently (FINALLY!) started watching Doctor Who and have had no motivation to do anything else for several days. So I thought I'd make sure I exercise in the meantime by turning a drinking game into an exercise game. I used the "Doctor Who the $#@! Drank the Last Beer?!" game from The Warp Zone's Drinking Games for…

100 Crunch/Squat/Push-up 21 Day Challenge!
I've tried several of these "100/day" challenges, and I never seem to be able to finish them. WHY?? My muscles need REST!! So I decided to start my own, where we rotate through different exercises each day. This will give our muscles time to rest before hitting them with another hundred!! So on Day 1, we'll do 100…

First 5k race
I ran my first 5k race on Saturday! (It was also my birthday, and one of the best ones yet!!) My official time was 38:41 (12:29mm pace) and my goal was 40min if I could run the whole time or 45min if I had to walk (I've been having some knee pain the last couple weeks) so I'm VERY happy with that time! I made it under…

Office win!
I just walked past the fresh-baked cookies put out by our receptionist!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I had just finished drinking a lot of water, and of course went to the bathroom, and on the way back to my desk - BAM! :noway: - there they were! Just sitting there, all fresh, hot, and delicious, begging to be eaten! :love: I…

Flounder is not "Unda da Sea"...
...he's in my freezer! :devil: So the last time I was at the grocery store, I was picking out the weight (ie, price) of tilapia that I wanted and failed to realize that I had wandered into the flounder. I've never cooked flounder (don't think I've ever even EATEN flounder) so I thought I'd come to the forums. Is it similar…

Anyone else see what's wrong here??
So look at my current profile picture. It's the packaging for some snack-size peaches that I picked up, making sure they said "No Sugar Added." I did not notice what was underneath that until I opened one up and started eating them.... Now, I'm one of those people who can taste aspartame and most other artificial…

Not Quite New
I used MyFitnessPal when I first started my journey to a healthy weight/lifestyle in Nov '08. (For those of you that are actually new to the site, I encourage you to stick with it and log consistently, because IT WORKS!!) I stopped tracking last December because I felt very comfortable at 150lbs, despite my goal of 145lbs.…

Lunch at Maggiano's - HELP!!
So I have a work lunch at Maggiano's today - so NOT my choice! :grumble: - and I'm trying to figure out anything halfway safe to eat. I've seen that a woman posted their nutritional info online, but it's on photobucket, which my work computer won't let me access. I went through their menu, wrote down a couple things that…

My Mom is AWESOME!!
My mom's not on MFP, but I have to brag on her for being so supportive of me. As you can see in my signature, I'll be finishing the C25K program soon, and my reward to myself is buying some cold weather running clothes since I live in Colorado. She was at a discount store this weekend (Hudson's Treasure Hunt, for those of…

Running with headphones
I've been doing C25K and I'm having a problem with the headphones staying in my ears, mainly during the running intervals. First of all, I aparently have funny-shaped ears or something, b/c I can't wear earbuds at all. I can be sitting perfectly still and they'll fall out for no reason! So I have two different pair of…

CELEBRATE A VICTORY!!
I love to celebrate victories, regardless of how small they might seem. I decided to start encouraging some of my friends with their victories and then decided that EVERYONE should get to boast about their victories and be told GOOD FOR YOU! THAT'S A VICTORY AND YOU'VE DONE WELL!! Mine so far today: Drank 9 glasses of…

Daily Exercise - I'M GONNA DO IT!
I've decided that I WILL exercise EVERY DAY this week, in one form or another!! I'm not demanding a killer workout, but some EXTRA form of exercise, other than my 20min walk in the mornings from Union Station to my office. I tend to exercise a couple times a week but just have no motivation some days, so you guys gotta…

VICTORY OF THE DAY! (What's yours?)
So I've already drank my 64oz of water today!! This is huge for me because I've been getting better about drinking water, and even enjoy it most of the time, but sometimes just get sick of it. Anyway, I just wanted to boast and ask everyone.... WHAT'S YOUR VICTORY TODAY?!?

Switching Scales
I just bought a digital scale b/c the tiny tick-marks on the analog one were so hard to read. But a dilemma arose: They're about 5lbs different! I've weighed myself with both scales, one immediately after the other, many times over the last few days, and the digital one is approximately 4-5lbs heavier every time. Should I…
