how's your week going?
so, my official weigh-in was yesterday, and i chose to ignore the fact that i somehow gained two tenths of a pound after a near perfect week, did not log it in, and primarily ate pringles and pizza in my frustration. because that's how i roll (figuratively and literally?). but this morning i'm up, have completed my…

anyone dealing with flavorful knees?
i recently pulled my calf muscle (about a month ago) during a workout. since then, i have modified my workout routines to allow it time to heal. just about when it got back to normal (was able to add jump rope back in), my right knee started...talking to me. i'm not accustomed to this. it can be painful after i have been…

calling all non-moms!
hello, mfp world! years ago, we had a group running for women with no children who wanted to lose weight. i'm hoping to once again connect (or reconnect!) with some mfp friends of the child-free variety. if you find that you are in a place where you need to lose, but you got there by eating for one your whole life, and…

logging circuit interval times
hey, everyone! question for the hive mind here. i run an interval circuit that runs about 25 minutes from start to finish, including a cardio warm up and quick cool down at the end. i go through a circuit of 7 moves for 45 seconds with a 15 second break in between to switch equipment and take a quick breather. i repeat it…

does anyone fall in this category? i have about 30 more pounds to lose, but i have been holding steady for nearly a full year now, and i can't figure out what to do. between august of 2010 and june of 2011, i lost around 25 pounds. it came off consistently. i was eating a tostino's oven pizza one to two times per week…

The Original Power 90 Check In?
I didn't see anything posted about the non-X Power 90, so I went ahead and started this thread (please let me know if there was one up and I missed it). So, I recently started my Power 90 again, and I just completed the cardio 1/2 for the second time this week. I actually tried a bit of the power yoga - the hardest thing…

*SPOILER*!!! how did you like it?! *SPOILER*!!!
okay - just for the record, as soon as carlisle lost his dome, i knew it was some kind of dream sequence. but, poor carlisle, the one time he lost his sh1t *really* would not have gone over well! my husband thought the whole fight sequence was the amazonians making the volturi think they were battling. i thought that was a…

happy may!
ugh - a rough month for me in the emotional venue (my dad died on may 11 of 2002) but we always get through. usually the nice weather balances the internal storm. anyhoo, i will not be starting off the month at the gym because my left foot and right calf are *killing* me from trying to spin around barefoot on a dance floor…

why, hello there!
long time no see! i have been eating crap and wallowing in a bit of self pity the last couple of weeks, and i've been pretty inactive the few weeks prior to that. but i think i have all of that out of my system and it feels good to be back! i'm off to the gym for step class this morning - i probably won't make it through…

pageant kids?! <face palm>
okay, i'm rather unplugged, meaning i have no cable or television access, no cell phone, though we do have dsl lite internet and i dig my netflix dvd's! point being, this is probably old news to most of the world. but i have *never* seen the likes of this. and there's a whole tv show about it? wow. for real? i'm so creeped…
