MAJOR GOAL ACHIEVED!!
I'm in my prepregnancy uniform. Nomex (firefighting clothing) is great for many things, but no stretchy. It's like wearing duct tape if it's too small, and I end up looking like the stay-puft marshmallow man (or the michelin man). I just needed to share. Thank you all for your motivation and support.

STRAWBERRYMARGARITA!!!!
I read your user name and instantly got jealous. But that's not why I'm posting. My MIL had problems leaking too. Something a patient told me once-If you put a flashlight up to the bottom of the "girls," you can see the valve and other opaque portions of the...items. We tried it with a friend's, and it's actually true.…

PH balance
This was a topic in a few discussions lately. I came across it in my biology class. "hemoglobin as a proton (H+) acceptor to maintain pH when carbon dioxide builds up in the blood stream; for example during exercise." Not just for food anymore...

How many calories...
Should we eat, at the most, in one meal? I just had a burger and tots, and apparently inhaled about 900 calories. I worked out hard today so I didn't even come close to going over my max, but i worry about eating too much in one sitting.

ATTENTION RUNNERS
I've found a good 5k that I could run. I timed myself for a mile (with a stroller) and did well. I jog for 45-60 minutes, usually with a stroller. How do I know when I'm ready?

Avacados
About two years ago, following any avocado that I ate, I'd start having severe chest pain. Thought I was having a heart attack, but 1) it came in waves and 2) I'm "too" young. So after a little while, I figured out that it was avocados causing all the pain. It was like a weird "squeezing" pain. About three months ago, I…

We should have an exercise entry for...
Potty training. I'm exhausted. I've been off for four days, so I took the opportunity to really reinforce the point of using a toilet with my 19 month old. BTW-she took interest at 17 months and usually makes poopy in the potty, so no, it's not too early. Not being defensive-So I'm sorry if this came across as hostile.…

BANKS!!!!
You seem to be the most educated person on here when it comes to nutrition and losing weight. Is there a way to actually speed up my metabolism? Or is that kind of a myth and I just need to be really active? Rae

Puddle Stomping...
So I've gotten a little OCD about logging calories in/calories out. I was gonna take the baby swimming, but there's enough rain coming down that we could swim in the puddles. I wonder how many calories I would burn puddle stomping with my 19 month old (You know, put a stick in the gutter, chase it down to the drain, go…

Ambien
THIS IS NOT AN AD (or anything else of that sort) I started taking ambien 3 months ago to help with my sleep. One day out of three, I can guarantee that I won't get much sleep (must tend the stubbed toes and broken fingernails of america). So the nights I am at home sleep is really important. I've never been able to get to…

1200 calories
I've discovered that I need to update my diet profile whenever I drop weight. I'm officially out of the 140's and still losing, but the change in weight has me reevaluating my diet in order to keep losing, in a healthy way. I updated my diet plan with my new weight. It now recommends the minimum, 1200 calories. I guess…

Small Victories
It's been a difficult few days. Some tough stuff happening at work, emotionally exhausting me. So the small victories have been more important than I realized. I ran a mile in 8:33 yesterday, pushing a stroller with baby. I was hoping to just do better than 10 minutes, as I've stayed physically active, even if it wasn't…

Chili's is edible for me again...
I just went to Chili's for lunch with my mom. I ordered the little big mouth bites (4 tiny burgers) with fries, and ate 2 burgers and half the fries. Counting calories, this comes to less than 700 calories. On the days when I do my long workout, this is pretty reasonable for an afternoon meal! And I'm finally at the point…

New goals
I was reading a post earlier, when someone mentioned finding a new goal once they hit their goal weight, possibly finding a 5k to run. I hope I'm not offending anyone by sharing my opinion here. If you have a Susan Komen "Race for the Cure" in your city, please do it. Too many sisters (and believe it or not, brothers) are…

Nobody warned me (Warning, gross topic)
Please stop reading here if you are easily offended. After 11 years in the fire service, certain taboo subjects become humorous conversations. Nobody warned me that eating more vegetables would make my new, healthier eating habits, well, explosive. I can't imagine how gaseous emissions can be any healthier for me than my…

About those cheat days...

Lazy
