Do you round up or down?
I'm 5' 4 1/2" and I always say it just like that. On here and my HRM it doesn't allow for half inches so my question is, do other people round up or down? I've always rounded down, but I'm thinking of changing it. It would be nice to be able to say I'm 5' 5" and not feel like a liar.

Leftover Pizza recipes?
Hi all. There are two slices of leftover pepperoni pizza in the fridge right now and the simple fact of the matter is I am going to eat them. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or recipes on how to make them something more than just leftover pizza and possibly up the nutritional value. Thanks in advance.

Solo hiking/camping
I have a very strong desire to go camping and hiking. I don't get a lot of free time. I work a lot. I am constantly surrounded by people and I really just want to be outside and be alone. Am I nuts? I went for a short hike near the lake where I live last week and every one who found out nearly lost their minds that I would…

Polar Bear Plunge
I am doing it. I am doing the polar bear plunge at the lake this year on New Year's Day. The theme this year is hippies. Has anyone ever done it before? Any stories, tips or outfit ideas are welcome. Also, just so everyone knows, I really, really hate the cold.

Black Friday
Circumstances in life being what they are, I work full time and have a couple of part time jobs to help ends meet. The most negative consequence of this is coming this week because on of my part time employers happens to be a place that is opening Thanksgiving evening for Black Friday since 24 hours of Friday just isn't…

Cinnamon Horchata Ale
So I bought a Blue Moon variety pack a couple days ago and have just tried this one tonight and I really like it. What are you drinking? It's Friday y'all!

Is this okay?
There was a new guy at the gym this morning. Usually my time at the gym is peaceful enough. I am usually the only female, but that's not a problem for me. I am in my zone, do my thing get in, get out and get on with my life. The new guy this morning was grunting and moaning loud enough that I could here him from 40 feet…

Body Fat at the Y
I had a fitness assessment done at the YMCA today which I had never done anything like that before. Everything I have done so far the past couple years has been on my own. Part of the assessment was getting weighed on the Tanita BF-350 which takes your age and height into consideration, sends some sort of something through…

What song is playing...

Strangest thing you've seen
Coming back from my run today I passed a man on the trail wearing green hospital scrubs and blue hospital socks with no shoes on. Considering I was only a few blocks from the hospital I had to assume he had escaped and was just out wandering around. Also, one time a fella passed a friend and I on his bike on the trail. We…

Headbands and Fanny Packs
When I walk or run I tend to sweat and sometimes the sweat drips into my eyes. This causes pain. I don't like pain. Would it look incredibly stupid to wear a head band? How do other people handle this problem. Also, does anyone use a fanny pack to carry their keys/phone, pepper spray, etc? Would you make fun of someone…

Catty Women
I work in an office that is only women. Today on the lawn they are holding a ceremony to honor fallen officers, so there are a lot of police officers outside getting ready. Most of us are hanging at the window drooling over the eye candy because, well, who doesn't love a man in uniform? Anyways, one of the officer's wife…

Cracker Barrel
I took the family to Cracker Barrel this morning and had my favorite the hash brown casserole. I was slightly worried about calories, but according to the MFP database a 7oz serving is only 155 calories. That seems low to me. Does anyone have an idea how accurate that is?

Is it running?
So I went out yesterday and walked the B-line trail and as I was walking I realized that other than the occasional elderly couple, everyone else was running past me. I looked so lame. I decided that when I got to one end of the trail I would turn around and give running a try. (I haven't ran since high school gym class.)…

I've been lurking for a bit
I have been on MFP for a couple months now and I've finally decided it's time to come out of the shadows and participate. I guess it just takes time for me to warm up to new things and people. I am a mother of 3 + 1 I gained through pure luck. I am 31 and haven't really done much exercise since high school. I did do a…
