Crazy ~ Embarrassed to exercise in the living room in front
It's nuts right? Why would I be more inclined to go out and sweat like a hog in front of total strangers, rather than light aerobics in my living room where my kids are probably going to ignore me anyway? Does anyone else have this anxiety?? I am not a morning person, so getting up before everyone else, bright and early,…

Any spouses with separate bedrooms?
Sounds odd to some, I know, but I am considering proposing this to my husband. He travels a lot and when he's home, we have the hardest time being able to sleep together. Literally. We have a healthy relationship, etc., and for the most part, he's already got his own "separate" bedroom where he gets dressed in the morning…

Sandy!!
How is everyone faring through the storm? We are good in Hampton, well, my section has not flooded (yet) and we have not lost power still. How are you?

EARWORMS!!
Ugh, I HATE HATE HATE HATE that every morning FOR THE LAST MONTH I've woken up with Justin Beiber's "Boyfriend" song stuck in my head... Im not a fan, and I don't particularly care for the guy (nothing personal against him), so its making me crazy I have the chorus stuck in my brain for the first couple hours of my day.…

Starting over (again). C25K startups anyone??
Hi, Im back again. Going to get my butt in gear now that I think everything in my life has calmed down, and I want to get on the C25K program. Is anyone else here new and just starting it (starting it over is ok too)? I could use a buddy. :)

Allowing myself to be Bridezilla ~ for ONE thing. ;)
I was just thinking about my poor photographer I need to hire. I am a scrapbooker, and I am looking forward to making an album of my wedding. I need to hire a photographer that is going to be as particular about photos as I am ~ portraits, candid shots, the whole nine yards. This is the only thing Im all "Bridezilla"…

Compensating calories with fitness
I havent been on MFP much lately and I havent been following any sort of real plan either and I have come to the conclusion that I dont eat too bad... I drink too much, and I really need to get active to be fit... so rather than kill myself trying to diet and what not, I am just going to start working out more. If I want a…

I found my dress!!
I have been upwards and backwards trying to find a dress I liked that I could wear in any venue since I keep changing my mind (and our wedding date)... AND I FOUND THE ONE!! And its 'new to me' so it only cost me TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS... The only problem is that it is a size 12 and I am not. So ~ guess who just found their…

Cold Feet
I love The Man, and I dont want to break things off or anything, but I just dont feel the "oomphff" to get married anymore. We planned a July 1 wedding, and I said I wanted to put it off until I got some personal financial things straightened out, and he said September would be fine (we talked about going to New Mexico for…

Endomorphs
Has anyone else read into this? It has to do with "body type" and endomorphs are typically hourglass figures. They recommend low-carb dieting and cardio and strength training (which is what I am starting back up this week). Curious to know if you have read anything recommending this if you think you are "one of us"…

Soy vs. Whey Protien Powder
I know I need to use a protien powder supplement, but I wanted to see what you guys are using. Im more inclined to use the Soy because I read that the Whey is associated with lactose intolerance issues, or something along those lines. What do you think?

Calorie counting is BLOWING my mind...
Does anyone else feel this way? I mean, sweet Jesus, its getting depressing!! Everytime I consider drinking a coke, Im like, good God man, that's another 140 calories Im throwing away... Lucky me, Ive got a hankering for unsweet tea, but there are some things I was quite surprised to see how much they are "worth". Bananas…

I had a "Duh" moment...
So, I was sitting there on my couch contemplating what I could do for exercise since I skipped the gym, and my dog Carlos (he's the cutest long-haired Chihuahua) was sitting on the other end of the couch looking at me like "Im bored". And then it hit me, I should go take him for a walk. Usually I just let him out in the…
