Workout Hangover?
I have been debating posting this for some time, but it keeps happening... Does anyone else feel "hungover" after an evening workout? I know it's not from drinking because I accepted the Alcohol Free August Challenge... I drink enough water (or so I think)... I don't usually eat after my workout...last night I did because…

It's just a number, it's just a number...
I have to keep telling myself that to keep from giving up. It took one lazy Sunday to break my 849 day streak on MFP. I can't believe I let that thought creep in to my head: give up just because I got knocked down to Day 1. The number of continual days on MFP don't have anything to do with my past or current success nor…

What do you mean you 'don't like the way I look?'
The conversation started with "Don't take this the wrong way but..." My husband doesn't like my muscles. :cry: I'm still a little stunned by it and don't quite know what to do. I mean, I can't make them go away and I'm not a small person (5'11" 186# working toward 175#). I know I can never expect to be smaller than a size…

How do you eat your candy?
A co-worker asked me the other day how I eat my candy which caused me to pay more attention. Take the Skittles, for example: The Fun Size bag I just opened had two purple, three yellow, three red and eight green – no orange (which are my favorite). I told her I eat them in order of abundance. So they disappeared in the…

Supermodel!
How's this for an NSV?! This afternoon I was walking across a pretty empty parking lot on my way to an impromptu pedicure, dressed for work, in sensibly heeled sandals and a flowy dress and jacket. It's a beautiful day. An older African-American woman in a big old truck driving toward me, slows down and she says: "I just…

FIRST POST - Sharing NSVs
I've been logging and sweating away on this site for months now. I've lost 15 lbs - totally forgot how good it feels to get fit again - what a rush! Today I have to share this week's NSVs: 1) I had to start a pile of "too big" clothes today 2) I put on a pair of pants on Monday that I haven't worn in three years a) and I…

DYING to get back on my bikes!!!
Hey. I'm pretty new to MFP and other than the weight loss goal, I am working to get back to racing mountain bikes again. I have a Titus Racer X, Vicious Cycle steel hard tail, Bianchi DISS (and, if I have to, a steel road bike, custom - leftover from marriage #1). I want to hear all about your blood, mud, sweat and gears…
