Need Pilates Mat Referrals!
I've recently decided to (although counting my burned calories!) concentrate less on cardio and calories burned and concentrate more on muscle definition and have been doing pilates. Problem is: hardwood floors. I would liken the feeling to someone stabbing my hips and knees. I've realized I need some sort of padding, and…

Great Food Finds
I'm going to post pictures of my fantastic food finds, most of them at Costco. I always share these with my facebook family and get really excited when I find good stuff. What have you been excited to discover and where? Costco find, 35c/wedge Costco find, 100c (per bag I checked :) ) Costco find, 120 c each (careful, they…

Halp!

Replacement chest straps for hrm?
Ugh, I totally snapped the hard plastic end of the elastic part of my chest strap. It disconnects for easy cleaning and I broke the part that you can throw in the wash when I went to go put it back together. Anyone know of where I can buy just THAT part? The mechanics of it are all still perfect, there's just a knobby end…

the big 3-0
So I'm turning 30 on tues. I have a big burger lunch planned for 6/4 cause I thought I might not get the day off, but it looks like I may end up getting it off after all. My hubby asked me if there was anything I want to do ON my birthday, and I couldn't think of anything. I don't want to reschedule my lunch for sooner,…

My first real nsv!
I'm at my nephew's birthday party and me, my sister and my step mom (who are all on mfp) were talking about mfp with a neighbor and I commented about how my step mom doesn't need as many calories as I do because she's smaller than me. The neighbor turned to me and said "I'm sorry, but have you looked at yourself? I mean,…

No fun, No games
So I've never been an emotional eater, that's under control rightly. I guess this will be 1/2 venting, 1/2 "how did YOU deal with it?"? I've been working for my local gov't since 9/11/2001 (I know kind of hard to forget) and today is the 4th time I've gotten notified that my position has been "identified" as one to be cut…

I KNOW how to do this!
I just need to complain a little. It might make me some enemies. When I first started MFP I set myself on a mission to find the LOWEST calorie yummy foods around at any cost. I've evolved to looking for the lowest calorie, lowest sodium, highest protein, fiber or potassium yummy foods around at any cost. And putting them…

Who wants to beat a dead horse? (Exercise calories again)
My husband is adamant that a calorie I consume is not equal to a calorie I burn, and thinks it's dangerous to my weight loss to eat my calories back. There are days (like today) where it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to eat all of my calories back. My daily allotment is 1210, I burned 1647 on a hike, and I ended up having 900…
