I'm a gym stalker...
There! My confession is out! Seriously, it seems like everytime I go to the gym and see 1 of 3 of the regular guys working out I push myself to workout SO much harder just to stay and get a few more glimpses! I'm ashamed! Am I the only one who does this???

Just need to know I can do this again...
To be honest, I did do this before. I lost a ton of weight and I looked and felt great... And then it happened. I met the man of my dreams. One year, multiple miscarriages and a failed engagement later and I gained 31lbs. I need to get this weight off! The eating part has been easy, because honestly, I'm too depressed to…

Binge Eating
I feel like ordering an extra large pizza with a 2 liter of coke, a side of cheesy bread, a 20 piece wings with an order of cinnastix to wallow in disappointment over that game! Maybe chinese food too....

Random Thought...
I think you should get weight loss bonus points when your *kitten* roomie orders papa johns, eats it in front of you, tells you how awesomely tasty it is, asks if you want any, and you still are able to walk away.... mainly because I had Krispy Kreme earlier :)

Baby Shower
After taking a 6 month break for personal reasons, I'm back on track. I've lost 7.5lbs and I'm super excited! I have a Baby Shower that I am supposed to go to today and yes, there will be LOTS of food there! Would it be horrible for me to go, fake a cough, drop my gift off, and leave? I just don't think I have the inner…

Sex Etiquette...
Serious question.... How long do you wait to have sex with someone you're dating? Friday night will be my 5th date with a new guy in a little less than two weeks. Not sure of the etiquette....
-
Chia Seeds....
I keep hearing about all of the nutritional benefits of Chia Seeds (i.e. making you feel fuller faster, helping with hydration, helping reduce blood pressure, filled with Omega-3, etc.) Have you tried these? And do you find this to be fact or crap?
-
Infomercials....
I guess I've had it wrong this entire time! Who needs hard-work and determination to lose weight when it all it takes is OBVIOUSLY a few pills and/ or some crap to shake on my food????? SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Ok, so I realize that next week starts the time of year most people "bandwagon diet," but I am already SO sick and tired…
-
HRM Question....
I worked out between last night and this morning (between 11:30ish and 1am), but I'm not sure if that should count for today or yesterday? I'm confused! On second thought I was too pissy to wear my HRM so I can't really count it anyway... or can I? Do workouts count if you don't wear your HRM? I need coffee!
-
Food Diary Question....
Which is more important to track: FIber, Sugar, or Sodium? And why? The problem is MFP only allows you to track 5 things. I'm already tracking protein, carbs, and fat and have room for 2 more! Help!

If you're anything like me, you're still scrubbing spots of pink, yellow, and blue off your skin. BUT you have to admit, that was an awesome time! Here is the website for the next one if anyone is interested!!!! http://colorinmotion5k.com/event/Jacksonville

Popcorn help?
My self-control collapsed yesterday when I was at Publix and saw Buy 1 Get 1 Free Pop Secret this week.... 12 bags of Movie Theater Butter just seemed so good at the time. Well now I'm going through buyers remorse and wondering if I should keep it or trash it. It boils down to me being SUPER confused about the calories per…

Running plans this week?
Is anyone available Tuesday or Thursday? Tuesday I have to meet my trainer at 6pm so I can meet anywhere close to the Baileys in Mandarin (or my house) anytime at or after 6:45. Thursday, I have a swim meet and could meet anytime around 6:30

HUGE NSV (For me!)
I DID IT!!!!! I bought my Polar HRM on Feb 3rd and as of today, August 2nd, I have officially burned 100220 calories!!!!!!! That doesn't even include the calories from biking on the beach or swimming or anything where I didn't wear my HRM! These are actual LOGGED calories! I'm so excited! Best part is 24k of those have…

Frisky and Feisty
First I should say that I have NEVER been in a fight, nor have I ever really had a temper! I don't know if I've seen Rocky 1-4 too many times, or Warrior or any of those other movies, but ever since i have started strength training I feel really invincible for some reason 2 examples: 1. I was riding my bike home from the…
-
Bike Shorts....
I bought this bike today (see profile pic) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's my first REAL bike so the guys at the local bike shop were showing me things that I should eventually consider buying: bags, lights, helmets, etc. Then they showed me the bike shorts.... NOT CUTE. Probably comfy but again NOT CUTE! They remind me of a…
-
Bike Question....
Out of Diamondback, Trek, or Cannondale, which brand has the best bike and why? I'm hopefully getting a new bike this weekend and need some input :) ETA: I guess I should mention that I want a Hybrid that I can bike on the road as well as on trails!
-
HELP! I Think I'm Addicted....
Now I know there is a HUGE difference between NEED and WANT and I need to preface this by telling you that this was a serious NEED moment: About halfway through my bike ride this afternoon I noticed that I had finished my entire HUGE bottle of water (it was hella hot outside!). I saw a Walgreens and my mouth automatically…

Debbie is a stupid *****, *****
I'm talking about the tropical storm that hit Florida earlier this week. Even though the stupid b***h, w****e flooded the streets with water and debris, my first 5K is this coming Wednesday and running on a treadmill for longer than 10 minutes bores me! Needless to say,I decided to train outside once it cleared up a…
-
Am I being too controlling?
Please tell me if this is controlling or if I just seriously am over-reacting???? Today I met a friend of mine at the gym before we were going to go our separate ways and shower and meet back for lunch! I took a spin class while he walked on the treadmill. Here was the convo after spin and when I walked up to him on the…
-
Running Apps??
I need a new running app! MapMyRun has quit on me mid-run for the last time! Any suggestions??? PS - Zombie run is awesome BUT I want something with more data telling me how fast I'm running, how many miles I'm running, and giving me details about each individual mile. (What can I say, I'm a data geek!)

Nonfuctional Workout Clothes?
Ok, so I'm at Express today (almost buying my first pair of size 8 jeans - which are on hold until tomorrow YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I find this REALLY cute workout outfit It looks absolutely adorable on me! Unfortunately, then I start thinking about it and I realize that if I was to actually workout in these clothes, they…

Designer JUNK!
I just made the HUGE mistake of going through a few drawers of clothes to try things on, see how they fit, see what's worth keeping and whats worth donating/trashing. I made 3 piles: clothes that still look good, clothes that are trash and clothes that are donate-able. I have no problem donating my semi-nice clothes, BUT I…

My butt hurts....
I tried spinning for the first time yesterday and LOVED IT! I even woke up this morning to go to another spinning class before my usual run! But now it feels like there is a bruise in the shape of the bike seat on my butt. It really hurts! Does anyone have an idea of when I will either get used to a sore butt or how to fix…
-
SPIBelts... Opinions Please :)
It's taken me a really long time to be able to run outside and my reasons are downright stupid. I mean why run outside when the treadmills at my gym have a personal fan, a water bottle holder, a towel holder, a key holder, a cell phone holder, a book/kindle holder, a view of the hot boys lifting weights.... things like…
-
Nosebleeds?
I've never had issues with nosebleeds until I seriously started my HIT. Now 2-3X a week I am having hella bad nosebleeds, I'm assuming it is because when I get my heart rate above 90% of max I turn into a nose breather - but I don't know? It has never happened during a workout until tonight when it happened twice! And no,…

Really Bummed!
In the last 10 months I have been working out at least 5 days a week, eating healthier (for the most part!) and I've toned up dramatically. I've lost 24lbs! Yes, I still have a long way to go as you can see by my picture, but I'm really proud of myself for what I've done! Everyone I know has noticed my weight loss: people…

At a total loss....
Long story short.... My walllet was stolen in 2005.... I've been dealing with it ever since. I thought I had everything taken care of a while back.... I continue to check my credit report and when nothing new showed up within a 2 year period, I didn't find the info that I had relevant anymore and shredded all of it! I also…
