I haven't seen a thread about this for a while; did a meetup ever happen? Is it something people are still interested in? =)

Anxiety over phonecalls?
Hi. I recently thought it might be a good idea to reach out to a group of similar minded individuals to see if this was something anyone had any experience or advice with. I get anxiety about phonecalls. I power through them because I know I must, but there are times where I feel like throwing up once I'm done. The entire…

Who else plays? QR codes? COOKIES?!

Summer in the Twin Cities.
Any events you like to attend each year? Places you like to visit? Awesome parks or trails? Looking for some ideas for date nights with my husband, but also ideas that are child friendly for weekends with the kids.

State Bird...
...the mosquito, obviously. Anyone else getting bit a lot lately? My legs especially are sporting some very nice little circle scars...

GW2 raid group?
So, my usual gamer group doesn't seem to log on often enough to do dungeons and I'd really like to try a couple more, as I've only run 2 or 3 of them. So I was hoping to see if anyone out there still plays and if you'd be interested in raiding either Friday nights or Sunday afternoons/evenings. My husband and I are…

Box Jumps.
What's the best way to get started? Even on the smallest box, as soon as I go to jump, my knees feel like they lock up and one foot jumps ahead of the other in an awkward staggered 'jump'. I would really like to improve my box jump as a personal goal and I think the fear of hitting the box is what holds me back. Any advice?
-
Baby carrots.
I bought a bag of baby carrots and I kind of want to roast them, but most of the recipes I've been finding are 'glazed' and I'm not looking to make them sweet. Maybe spicy? What ways do you like to cook your baby carrots?

Go Twins!
Is anyone else excited that baseball is back? Anyone going to the opener today?

Snob.
I feel like I'm becoming a food snob. Since I embarked upon my 'fitness' journey, I've tried to eat healthier food options and change up my diet and now I feel like every time I'm offered 'cheap' hotdogs or 'low-priced' ice-cream, it just tastes gross. I'd prefer to spend a little more quality on a better product and enjoy…

Fighting Anxiety and Stress.
This month has always been difficult for me and this year seems to be no different. I have high levels of anxiety and stress and I'm struggling with binges and depression. Apart from working out, which I still commit to regularly (although I might make it daily from hereon) what are some of the ways people find best to…

Clavicle is the 'New Cleavage'.

Farro?
I found a bag of Farro in my pantry that I bought a few months ago at Trader Joe's. I don't recall the recipe I was going to use it for... So. Help a gal out? Any good Farro recipes out there? NOTE: Just realized I put this in food and nutrition rather than recipes. OH WELLZ.

Mindless Eating.
I was recently participating in a fast (a challenge set to me by my trainer) and while I was making my kids their lunch, I was slicing cheese to place on top of their crackers...one slice fell a little short of the size I was looking for, so I went to put it in my mouth... ...and dropped it, out of disgust. I didn't…

Celebrity Clothing.
So I just got a Reebok email informing me which celebrities were 'caught wearing Reebok'. Do celebrities wearing clothes/sneakers/etc have any bearing on what YOU purchase?

Summer is here!~
It's about damn time, right? I spent the weekend in Le Sueur, so I sadly missed the storms that rolled through the cities. I was surprised to see the part of 280 near my house was flooded, via a picture on a Facebook news page. XD Anyone have any fun summer plans?

'It's Not Too Late To Lose Weight For Summer!'
...the email title I just got from Groupon. Which then proceeded to advertise Raspberry Ketones, meal supplements/replacements and other quick 'fads' that I have absolutely no interest in. Oh Groupon, stop pretending like you know me. T_T

Embarrassing injuries.
So, the humidity is really messing with my right knee today. I'm not proud of it. I had to go to physiotherapy about 10 years ago because of it. I was walking home from a night on the town, quite a bit more than drunk, slipped on the little knobbly-bits on the drop curb to a cross-walk...but regained my balance! Only to…

Strengthening shoulders?
I can't lift well with my left arm. I've only been working out since I had my daughter and she would be nursed in my left arm frequently, sleep in the crook of my arm at night, etc. So whenever I'd work out, I would be incapable of lifting equally with each arm. For push-presses (one-armed) I can do 25lb-30lb with my…

Share your games!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA Best comment I've read so far today: "Microsoft is down. Call an ambulance. wii u wii u wii u~" I don't think the lulz over this recent E3 will end for a while yet. =B

Pot Luck?
A friend is having a wine/pool party and would like us to bring food to contribute to a Pot Luck. What are some of your go-to's or favorites to bring to a pot luck? Maybe even something out of the ordinary! Go.

I think it's time...
How long did your little one nurse? I'm reluctant to stop, but at 17 months it looks like my daughter is self-weaning. I had two nights away from her this weekend and today when she tried to nurse, there's very little left to satisfy her. I'm wondering if it's worth trying to get my supply going again or just let nature…

Little NSV: Pushups.
When I first started working out, I couldn't even do pushups from the knees. I am now finally able to to dead-stop pushups! \o/ *throws self a little party*

Yard Sales.
What do you/don't you like about them? I'm hosting a small one on the weekend after I get back from gym. I don't have any tables/rails for anything, but I'm trying to organize clothes in size range to make it easier for people. I just hope the kids behave! Anyone need any baby girl/boy clothing? I have a LOT! XD

iPhone apps.
I'm an iPhone newb. My first program to download was obviously MyFitnessPal, but what other apps do people recommend, especially ones fitness/weightloss inspired. Best C25k apps? Etc etc. /headdesks

Which 'fad diets' did you buy into?
Before learning that a calorie deficit was the only way to consistently lose weight, I searched high and low for things that would help me shift the weight. Afterall, I couldn't do it myself, right? That's what the ads would have you believe! Seeing a thread about ALLI, it made me remember signing up to their email service…
