Fantastic idea for a cleanse!
Went to a cookout yesterday, and I don't really eat meat, so I ate Lay's Southern BBQ chips for dinner. By the next morning, you can let the good times roll! This cleanse comes with all the trips to the bathroom that you can handle, PLUS the constant threat of sharts during your morning workout. You get the best of both…

BodyMedia Challenge!
...Or any other TDEE monitoring device, of course. I was looking at my "Personal Bests", and decided to bust up a few of them. I'd love to challenge you to do the same. (Sleep time, alas, is not where I'm going with this.) Here are mine: 3499-Most Calories burned in a single day 4:55-Highest total physical activity in a…

Nerds...the 2nd Generation
My 3 year-old just stood his diminutiveness in front of the flatscreen, gestured with his left hand, and commanded, "TV...ON!". How to reward such prodigy? How have you passed on your dorkdom to the younger generation?

Quotables
There are no men like me. There's only me." - Jaime Lannister "Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you." – Tyrion Lannister Just a couple of my favorites that come to mind. I also like to…

She REALLY needed that McRib.
HOPE MILLS, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina deputies say they used a stun gun on a woman who blocked a McDonalds drive-thru for 20 minutes after employees refused to serve her because she broke in line. Authorities say 37-year-old Evangeline Lucca bypassed the order screen and the line at the restaurant in Hope Mills, about 60…

Marine Corps Marathon 2012
I'm going. Anyone else? If you've run it in the past, tips are appreciated. I've run a marathon before, but not this one.

CHUCK. NORRIS.
My sister posts on my facebook wall: You are more beautiful then Cinderella! You smell like pine needles, and have a face like sunshine! I reply: I am more beautiful than Chuck Norris. I smell like gym clothes and push ups. Thank you. :-) Which made me wish for a Chuck Norris MPF thread soooo hard. For inspiration:…

2 miles in 15:12...2nd workout today! Yeah, I'll take it.
:-) I am faster and stronger than I was ten, even fifteen years ago. Hear that, younger me?! I can KICK YOUR A@@! I can't wait to meet 40 y-o me. Except...will she kick my a@@? Now I'm scared of her...

The BEST NSV by far!
I've had some here and there: looser pants, husband's comments, etc. Today's takes the cake. My 3-year-old son told me this morning that I am his "Supah Gwul" (that's Super Girl, for those that don't speak preschool). THEN?? He drew his first family portrait at school...and he drew me SO. SMOKING. HOT! Seriously, I'm…

35 days, 12 lbs. If I'd lived here then, I'd be home by now
It's my 35 day MFP-aversary. In that time, I'm down 12 lbs. Started thinking, if I'd come around sooner, I'd be done by now! THEN, I thought...If I'd waited until the New Year, I could have been worse off. Glad I didn't wait. Glad you didn't either. That is all.

BOD POD Challenge!!
The scale is SO last year! :-) Seriously, my fitness buddies and I are fortunate enough to have access to a Bod Pod. So I am making us appointments for six weeks from now to find out what our body composition is (or isn't). If I am brave enough to go do it, I suppose I will have to post it as well. If you have access to…

My Achilles heel is my "Achilles heel"...
The achy breaky pain starts at the base of my calf muscle and wraps under my heel. It has been this way on and off for years. Running makes it feel better at first, then so much worse the following day. Yeah, I know. Stay off of it until it stops. RICE. Ibuprofin. Tried it, never truly goes away. Plus, if I stay off it I…

Lordy, help me! I got the fevah again!
I neeeeeeed to do another race. I can't go but so long before those reminder emails start getting me all fired up to pick a race. Big Daddy (that's the husband) keeps telling me to stay focused on my goal. Distance running makes me so hungry, and my fitness goal right now is to cut down the body fat and build up my delts,…

NSV-Food Lust!
I saw a woman on a TV show Monday night eating a hot, thick, juicy, messy quesadilla. I wanted it for my own. I wanted to beat her down for it. It was way too late to get cooking, and then Tuesday was just mass chaos, but every time I had a moment...I thought about that quesadilla. Finally, today I broke out the whole…

It can't just be me...
But I swear, I am addicted to processed, simple carbs. Not the way people SAY they are, but in a rehab kinda way. The effect that they have on me is worrisome. If I eat them, I get lethargic until they are fully digested...but then I want more. When I keep them in my diet, I feel DOWN (even if I am losing weight) and so…

Mantras!
I have about a thousand-million running/lifting/workout mantras. It never occurred to me that I might need a nutrition mantra. That "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" crap doesn't work for me. It just isn't true. There are some things that do, in fact, taste better than thin feels. Otherwise, this site wouldn't exist.…

What are you willing to do...?
A long, long, longlonglong time ago, I used to do Weight Watchers. Out of all the meetings I attended, one thing really stuck with me. The moderator asked us, "What are you willing to do THIS week to lose weight?". This really struck home with me for two reasons. First, because the stuff I did last week lost me last week's…

The Eating Hours...
Hi! Nice to meet you. I am a wife and mother of two preschoolers. I am an ovo/lacto vegetarian, but not a militant one. I have always loved to exercise. I just love to eat more. Since there are so many more eating hours in the day than there are workout hours, this poses an interesting dilemma. I am an emotional eater.…
