5-22-2012 Matthews/Winters Park Trail
My dog, Buster, and I hiked the Matthews/Winters Trail near Morrison, CO for the first time yesterday. It starts along Hwy. 93 near I-70 and goes to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. It winds through beautiful red rock formations. If you go on up to the top of the amphitheater, the trail is just under 8.5 miles round trip. By…

Facebook Post from One Year Ago Today:
MY FACEBOOK POST FROM ONE YEAR AGO TODAY: "Thank you all for the birthday wishes, and yes, I saw my shadow. I've spent the last eleven years getting older, fatter, more depressed, more cynical, and frankly, I am tired of that. So, I've determined that this year will be a turning point. I will still grow older but become…

Reasonable Noticeable Gains: Part II
This is a continuation of http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/400854-reasonable-noticeable-gains started a couple of months ago in the MFP Body Building group.

If the little cartoon says the ball is in...
Watching the French Open, and every tennis match I ever watch, I always get a chuckle out of the replay system. Does anyone else think this is ridiculous, or is it just me? A couple of years ago I tried to do a web search to find out what the technology is behind that little animation that holds so much power, but came up…

Reasonable, Noticeable Gains
It's a given that everyone is different, there are many factors to consider, etc. BUT... If a relative newbie to lifting did everything right, what kind of gains could they expect to see over certain time periods? Alternatively, what was your experience in terms of noticing gains in strength, visual differences in your…

Nebraska Football Fans
I went to the Michigan State @ Nebraska football game in Lincoln on Saturday with my friend (an MSU alum) - both of us all decked out in MSU green. I would have never expected to experience the unbelievable hospitality of the Nebraska fans, where football is religion. I don't even know how many people approached us and…

How did you help your dog get old gracefully?
This is Buster. He's a Shar pei mix, and almost 12 years old. He's been my buddy since about a year after my divorce 11 years ago. Until this Spring, we haven't walked regularly for about 6 years, but I decided I wanted to get into shape, and I knew Buster needed to get in shape, too. At first, I couldn't believe that he…

Our pants get LOOSE when we LOSE weight.
If I can inspire just 10 people to spell correctly - well, I won't be satisfied, but it's a start.

37 down, just under 100 to go. Newbie loves this site!
I just switched over from another site for tracking nutrition and exercise, mostly because MFP has online AND mobile. I had no idea that the community aspect could be so interesting and supportive. I'm lovin' what I'm seeing, and I think this will be the added component to prompt me past those inevitable bad days and…
