Guys please explain..
...The Male Code of Conduct When guys are with a group of guys (work, sports etc.), what is the ultimate goal and what do you do/not do to achieve that goal? How do your brains work? Is is really all about "winning"? The competitive drive? And the real point of my post: how does this carry over into your relationship with…

Should I work out before donating blood?
I've only donated blood a couple times several years ago and felt weaker afterwards. I'm donating tomorrow at 3:30 and would have time for a work out beforehand around noon ( cardio and strength ). I'm wondering if I should hold off on the work out until I see how I feel afterwards. Thoughts?

What role do think think sleep plays with weight/fitness/health issues? My sleep patterns are far from ideal. I am I night owl. I work 2nd shift, rarely go to bed before midnight and am up by 6:00-6:30.

I've lost most interest...
... In being intimate with my husband. I still love him very much and want to please him but... I remember reading an article about a menopausal woman saying she'd rather have a good cheeseburger than sex. :tongue: I can so relate. I am as dry as the Sahara and feeling like its just one more thing I need to do. Sigh...…

Why do people assume...
... that if you are, in their words, "so skinny" you 1) don't need to exercise 2) don't need to count calories 3) "need" to eat more to "put some meat on your bones" 4) are being ridiculous I get the whole jealousy angle, so we don't even need to re-visit that. Do people really not get that if I ate more I would weigh…

Inner beauty vs. outward appearances
What's more important to you? How you look or your character? What's more important to you in another person? I would like to say that I'm more concerned about my character than my looks but I cannot tell a lie. I do notice how other people look, but I know it's their character that will determine the depth of relationship…

Are you a food nazi?
Do you find yourself mentally calculating others's calories? We went out to Baker's Square for lunch yesterday (no, I didn't have any pie) and I overheard a woman ordering: "Egg white omelette" -- good "Muffin" -- bad "Bran muffin" -- slightly redeemed, but still high in fat and calories, not worth it "Side of fruit" --…

How strenuous is your work out?
I've heard it said that you should exercise at a level that allows you to carry on a normal conversation. I see people at the gym running six or seven minute miles on the treadmill for extended periods of time conversing quite normally. They obviously are in great cardiovascular shape. I've also seen people who work hard,…

Morning person or night owl?
Night owl all the way I've worked second shift for over 20 years and love it Even when I'm not working I stay up at least until midnight But I get up early to take my daughter to school, volunteer, work out, etc... So I'm kind of in this perpetual fog :yawn:

What's your love story?
How did you meet your SO? I was recently divorced (great start, I know) and working as a nurse in a nursing home. We use wheelchair van services to take our residents out to appointments. One of the van services was owned and staffed by off duty firefighters. In the course of conversation, one of the drivers came to know…

Campground recommendations?
We are going to the Pigeon Forge area in August. We have a 5th wheel and are looking for family friendly, full hook-ups, pool, playground and reasonably priced. I am thinking that I would like to stay somewhere near/in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains rather than near the "strip" area with all the hustle and bustle.…

Describe your perfect summer day
Well, we would be at the campground on a large, shady site. It would be sunny, in the 80s with low humidity. We spend the morning doing something close to nothing while sitting in our comfy camp chairs listening to the soft breeze rustle the leaves high over our heads. Or hubby has taken dear daughter fishing while I do…

What one word would you choose...
...to describe the essential ingredient that makes your job successful? It could be something that is already in place at your job or it could be something that is missing but you know would make a big difference. I'm a nurse and I would say teamwork. The shift goes much smoother when we all work together but it can be…

Frustrated with injuries and lack of progress
Yesterday, I pulled a muscle in my lower back for no apparent reason. This is an area of old injury that just seems to keep coming back to haunt me. About 15 years ago, my sacroiliac joint was out of alignment. I went thru physical therapy and it improved but never back to 100%. My doctor has told me to exercise to…
