I'm back!!!!
Hey there all fellow MFP family! I took a break from calorie counting and regular exercising for about six weeks. Partly because I got pneumonia and couldn't run and then I felt like I needed a break from the strict regimen since I had been at this since January. The good news.....I have basically maintained where I left…

The beach!!
Hi everyone, just settling in for the night and checking in with all my MFP peeps. Went to the beach with my 2 boys and my neighbor and her boys.

Any Red Wings fans?
OK, I am a diehard Wing Nut. (For any of those who live in MIchigan you know what that is!) I stayed up till 12:45am to watch them lose the game only to have to get up at 5:30am for work. So needless to say , I am TIRED.:yawn: It would have been so cool for them to clench the Cup at home but now we will have to wait a…

Heart rate monitors
Hi there everyone, wanting to invest in a HRM. I know the polar brand is good, get what you pay for. My question is which model or do all of them display your resting heart rate? Will any of them display calories burned as you go about your day or are they strictly for exercise? What about the MIO brand too? I know I have…

@*#^!!!! Gas prices
OK, this is RIDICULOUS!!!! I'm in MIchigan and the pumps just went up to 3.89/gal!!!! My god, I really think these F@#%ing Oil Billionares should give us a break. We are getting poorer and poorer. The gas is making everything more expensive. We would be better off living on a farm like the amish, horses and a garden full…

Fatty food sitting in your gut!
I went to my sisters baby shower yesterday and I had already planned ahead for this to be my cheat day so I wasn't worried. Breakfast at home was OK- egg beaters omelette with veggies (green pepper, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes), whole wheat toast and coffee. Then on to the shower, I had 4 swedish meatballs, a very small…

No more Lane Bryant!!!
I just want to say that I got the mail today and there was coupons for Lane Bryant. Guess what I did? In the garbage they went!! I no longer have to shop there and never do I intend on going back. It is so liberating to be able to go clothes shopping for the summer and find cute stuff to fit me and not just wish anymore. I…

How do I log this?
I took a bike ride today with my 30lb toddler in tow in one of those trailers hooked to the back of my bike. I know it would be more calories than regular biking because of pulling the extra weight. Anyone have any ideas?

Going out with the girls
Tomorrow night I am going with a few girlfriends to the Melting Pot. I'm nervous because I haven't been going out to avoid temptation.
