Random things I love
Hearing a child laugh The smell of freshly baked bread in a plastic bag. The feel of that bread in the bag. (ooh I love squishing and smelling it!) lol The feel of grass between my toes Hugs Music - especially multi-part harmonies - even ones with dissonance that eventually resolve. People who set their mind to achieve…

Awesome, and "only mean to people who aren't my friends"
Yeah, no this isn't for me... this is for one of my bestest pals on MFP... kevindelabruere http://www.myfitnesspal.com/kevindelabruere he rocks, and he only has 24 friends! He is self proclaimed intimidating and only mean to people in the forums who aren't on his friends list, so if you want to be safe, then you totally…

Embrace the pain... but don't forget your spotters!
I just had a sort of epiphany... I am going through a rough patch right now, a divorce in progress, learning how to manage a single life with kids, and a relationship with an ex that has proven to be quite challenging. I've been spending some late nights working through issues and shedding some tears, and have posted…

caloric deficits, surpluses, and building muscles
Hello all! I have read a lot on here where people are adamant that you cannot build muscle while on a calorie deficit - its scientifically impossible. I am curious, though, about timeframes. If you are consistently posting a deficit, then yes it makes sense you'd be in a position that is not conducive to muscle growth...…

If I eat snow... does that count towards my water intake?
Hi... I'm keenly aware of how our planet's water supplies are being depleted, and also how water bottles are filling up our landfills... What a toll this takes on our wonderful world. I live in Canada and have a backyard filled with snow that's about 2 1/2 to 3 feet deep... I'm wondering... if I eat snow, can I count that…

Make today your slave
This is short, and to the point... TODAY IS YOUR DAY! Go kill it! When your body says "No, I can't do one more..." whether it be one more mile, one more rep, one more minute... TODAY IS YOUR DAY to say\ "Just WATCH ME!" Now... GO DO IT!!

Can getting in shape ruin a relationship?
This is a spin off from http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/870304-can-letting-yourself-go-ruin-a-relationship I am opening discussion here, because I think the converse can also be true... at least it had an impact on mine. I was married to a very insecure man, who needed to feel "better" than me - he downplayed my…

POISON! It's all poison!
So... here's my point of view. We are all going to die. Car accident Cancer Heart Attack *insert method here* My goal? Is to hang out as long as I possibly can on this planet. To laugh. To love. To have fun with my kids. My plan? To exercise. HARD. To eat. WELL. To choose to enjoy LIFE. AND FOOD. Did you catch that? AND…

It IS possible...
I ran across this photo from December 16, 2008. The day I got my first tattoo: this picture was taken December 2012: I work full time. I have two children (one born 2005, one born 2007). I am separated and share custody. I commute. I decided to run a half marathon in 2010, and started training. I would get up at 5am and…

The difference between facebook and MFP

The Rock Pile
ok... some of you will laugh at this, and I just ask that if you think it's stupid, please refrain from commenting and move on... there are plenty of places where you can laugh and have fun... I was reading the body shaming thread and made this statement: So I thought about it... Perhaps some of us could use a thread where…

Body types... which do you prefer?
Oh, crap... I forgot what body part I was going to ask about, because really... IT DOESN'T MATTER! Be happy. Be healthy. Work on being comfortable in your own skin. As you are. Right NOW. EVEN if you aren't exactly where you want to be just yet. If a person finds you attractive, they will eventually let you know as much.…

The path of consciousness... as it relates to fitness
The path of self-consciousness… as it relates to fitness… *note* this is not purely me… some of the categorization parallels Steven Covey and some parallels Dale Carnegie. It’s not new, but I was thinking of it as it relates to fitness… hope you enjoy! Blissful Ignorance… you do what you want to do, eat what you want to…

bullies...
I've been reading through a few threads today, and over the past few months. A common thread is about certain people who are responding in a harsh, mean, or bullying manner... And when I read their responses (and yes some of my own) I see strength and power, but not *usually* bully. I've been thinking.. *dangerous I…

It's not easy... but is it worth it? HELLYEAH!
Getting into shape is not easy. Staying in shape is not easy. Workouts are tough. They raise your heart rate, they push you to your limits. They make you sweat. Sometimes they make you less than perfumy. You may break a nail. You may end up with a red face. You should have wet spots on your clothes from your sweat. You'll…

Humans suck... I wanna be a...
So today I'm feeling a lot disappointed in humanity... sometimes we can be really cruel to each other... So I've decided that I don't wanna be human anymore... I wanna be... An eagle. Why? The freedom of flying, of soaring, of seeing the bigger picture, and yet having a keen eye for details... but mostly because of the…

For the geeks... a risk analysis of the nudie pic
Ok, so having been on MFP for about 10 months, it’s become clear that as a decent looking female, it’s inevitable that at some point you’ll get the request for nudie pics from someone. Lol DISCLAIMER: No point in asking for nudies - I keep my nudies for my man But it did get me thinking... I was thinking about how I am…

I CAN'T but I CAN
I CAN’T make you happy, or angry, or sad – those are your feelings, and your responsibility - not mine I CAN’T please everyone I CAN’T save the world I CAN’T be everything to everyone, and not lose myself in the process I CAN’T go through life without making mistakes I CAN’T be perfect Heck, I CAN’T even be ALMOST perfect…

tattoos and clothing...
Looking for opinions... I love ink.. I've always seen it as art on a living canvas. Not all art appeals to me, but that doesn't mean its not art - same goes for ink. (IMO) I used to be of the opinion that if I got ink, I didn't want it obscured by clothing... Ie a tattoo with a bra line cutting through it. I know this is…

12 minutes faster...
Hi All... it's that time of year (at least for me) where we have to deal with snow, and treacherous road conditions... A few years ago, my sister wrote this blog, and it really hit home. I'd like to share it with you. The kids she was talking about were mine, so it strikes me a bit stronger. *** Twelve Minutes Faster - an…

Just curious... and maybe a suggestion...
I've been looking at people's monikers / screen names and have noticed... On any given day, you can find numerous people using the words "fat", "big", "pudgy", or "flabby" in their names... A lot of people put themselves down in their screen name, and I am curious why we do this? How is it that we stay motivated by calling…

Not everything is as bad as it seems
How often do we see the threads where people are talking about how cruel everyone is? Yes, I admit, there are some nasty threads that go around. People call other people names. And it really sucks. But please remember that not everything is as bad as it seems. There is a lot of sunshine to be found on MFP... on the forums,…

running... sometimes I wish...
Sometimes I wish I’d never fallen in love with running… especially running outside… Today I slept in through my alarms… raced out of the house, got to work late. I usually try to run on my lunch time on M W F… but lately, life has been tough – a lot of personal drama and stress and external meetings that are preventing me…

I love em!
So I'm doing a non-man bashing thread.. I love the guys on my friend list. Some are straight up, non-flirty types - love em! They're inspirational, motivational, and kick *kitten*! Some are flirty, fun, and sometimes over the top - love em too! They also inspire and motivate and kick *kitten*! Some are ripped, some not as…
