I used to use straps all the time, but when my husband took up powerlifting I decided to try the mixed grip. Love it, and haven't used straps since. I tried to use straps on the mixed grip, but I...

Oh, and it can take time to get everything right. I think it took me about a year adjusting the right dosage before my levels were normal. It's not an overnight fix, so don't get discouraged if it...

Hypo here, as well, Hashimoto's. I've been on meds for 8 years (?) at this point. Once you're on meds and your levels are normal, you are not far off from someone without thyroid issues. As...

I drive a 2008 Nissan Xterra for my daily driver. I LOVE this car. Up until March I had been driving a 97 Ford Ranger that was on its last legs. I was really hesitant about having a car payment,...

This is the first post I've repped as a member of this site :)

I had a hard time letting go of the 6 small meals a day. I still do it, because it's more habit at this point, but I don't freak out if I only get in 4 meals, or 5. As long as I get in my calories...

My husband and I have so many real nieces / nephews and adopted ones that we have all the kid exposure we need. When we first got married there was talk about having kids, but that...

I had Mirena inserted almost 4 years ago and I love it. I used to use the patch, but it was a pain in the butt to put it somewhere where it wouldn't show (you can put it on arm, upper back, or butt...

I tend to wipe my face with my gloved hands to wipe off the sweat. As a result: huge breakout! So now I need to remember a towel to wipe my face with, or just let the sweat fly.

Make sure you have good shoes. Get fitted for the right kind if you can. I had horrible shin splints but once I found out which shoes I need for my feet I don't get them anymore. Well, unless my...

Get yourself some good sweat-wicking clothes. Cotton running gear will just hold in the sweat, but the warm weather running gear will whisk away the sweat and use it to help cool you down. I have a...

I highly recommend the Couch to 5k (c25k) program. It's what I started out with. It gets you to a 5k in 8 weeks, so with Halloween still 4 months away that's plenty of time to get to the distance...

I did the Tough Mudder Georgia back in March - I'm also doing the Warrior Dash Georgia this Saturday. After the Mudder, the Dash will be nothing but cake :)

I fit one of those single serving cups of Lucky Charms and some skim milk in my macros yesterday, and the scale was still down this morning. I've completely changed my mindset about food and have...

22 minutes on elliptical, 1.73 miles. According to it, burned 258 calories, but I've never quite trusted that.

Ate on point today; actually ended up 167 calories less than planned. Tomorrow I've...

Ate within my calorie deficit yesterday. Down a pound this morning - I guess that's the good thing about water weight :) I have a long run planned for this afternoon, unless...

Planning on restarting this journal tomorrow. 97 days from today before start of Hawaiian vacation, up 6-7lbs from Vegas trip this past weekend. There's no food in my house, so I have to go...

After a 4 day trip to Vegas where I did not track a single calorie, I am back to embracing the suck! I did weigh myself this morning, just to see, and my weight is up 6lbs. It would not shock me at...
