Injured
Just about two weeks ago I tore my menial meniscus tendon. I've been restricted to NO physical activity until at least this week when I see the Dr. again. In the meantime, I took a nose-dive into exercise withdrawal, and depressingly ate my face off for two weeks. Starting today, I'm going to try like hell to at least eat…

Running After Bronchitis?
I was out of commission for a couple of weeks with Bronchitis. I'm healthy and happy again and anxious to hit the trails. However, I'm finding that running is badly aggravating my cough. I can go for about a mile, but then I'm hit with a debilitating coughing fit. Anyone out there have any suggestions or remedies other…

Evening Munchies
I really fight with my evening snacking. Although I do a pretty good job of keeping the evening snacking to mildly healthy options (nuts, popcorn, etc), I'd like to stop the night time snacking all together. Any suggestions??

The Wagon
If falling off the wagon hurts so much then why the deuce do I. KEEP. DOING. IT?!?!?!?!?! ARGHHHHH!

If I could have_________'s body
A friend suggested that I have a celebrity's body type in mind as a fitness "goal". I'm not really one for emulating others, and I don't think this tactic will work for me, but it did get me thinking, whose body would I like having? I'm drawing a blank. So who's your fitness motivation???

Cookies - and I don't mean the edible type
Woah. Time to delete the cookies on my computer. 8 minutes after I look for new sneakers on Amazon, I have an Amazon banner at the top of my screen for the exact shoes I was looking at. Of course, now it's a banner for Charmin.........?

Movies you hate that everyone else seems to love
Yes, I've borrowed and reversed another thread. So shoot me... I hate, hate, HATE Rocky - I've actually never seen it but, as my name is Adrienne, you can probably understand why. I also don't like The Big Lebowski. I want to like it. I really do, but I just can't sit through that thing.

My scale hates me!
Why does my scale hate me!??! I've been really good all week (under calories by about 100 each night and working out), but the number on the scale went up. I can deal with staying the same, but UP?!?!?! What the deuce?!

Crabby Pants
A poor night's sleep, bad dreams, sore muscles and a friend who's getting on my nerves = one crabby Adrienne today, which typically leads to finding comfort in food. In an attempt to NOT eat my emotions... Anyone got any funny stories or jokes that might make me giggle and forget about the crabby pants I'm wearing?

Which is less bad for me?
Due to an unusual work schedule, I don't typically get home until 9pm or so. On one hand, I don't think I should eat that late at night, but on the other hand I'm usually WAY under my calorie goal. Which should I do?

Alcohol
I'll spare you the long version of the story, but in a nutshell, I feel like my alcohol consumption has gotten dangerously close to out-of-control. So many empty calories, so many bad decisions. Enough is enough. I poured out all of the alcohol in my home today, and you can't buy alcohol on Sunday's in this state, but I'm…

Um... Silly question...
I keep seeing folks post "bump" all over the place. What does that mean?

My first NSV!
At 5'2" I've never been much of a runner. My stubby little legs don't take me far very quickly, but I started running at the beginning of the summer just for the fitness part of it. I fell off the wagon for ALL of October, but I still ran my first 5K over the weekend. Better yet, I ran the WHOLE THING (that's new to me),…

I need new workout tunes!

Having Running Issues. Need Help.
I've never been much of a runner, but I started getting into it this summer. I actually really enjoy it. I've been taking it slow. I typically run a 12 minute mile (or slightly faster), and I've worked up to 2.25 consistent miles. HOWEVER... I have an old injury that I think might be acting up. I broke my ankle as a teen,…

In need of a virtual drill sargent!
I've found that my best motivator is the ONE friend I have on MFP. I stop myself from going over in calories because I know he'll give me hell if I do. It helps that he's a real-life friend, but I haven't been able to talk anyone else I know into joining. Anyone out there want to be my friend and help keep me honest??
