I'm sorry you're peeved, but if it makes you feel any better, I would be upset as well. It doesn't take much energy to make a quick phone call. Just be sure you calmly tell him how it hurt your feelings when he gets home. Good luck and cheer up!

Have you ever tried Miralax? It is a natural laxative and not a bowel stimulant so your bowels shouldn't become reliant on it. You should not need to keep increasing the dose to get the same effect. It is available in most U.S. drug stores and is over the counter.

Remember when you ended every sentence with "Not" or "syke"? For example: "I totally love your outfit today. NOT!"

Oh gosh...remember hypercolor shirts? They were so cool.

Oh my gosh! These are hilarious! Ok...I have a gym complaint:

There is this older man at my gym (65-70) and he comes to spin class every once and awhile. Every time he comes into the class wearing normal athletic shorts, but before he gets on the bike he insists upon taking his shorts off. Now, I know this sounds ok...you're thinking he has bike shorts on underneath...WRONG! He is wearing hanes WHITE boxer briefs!!! It is sooooo disturbing. Somebody should tell him that those are not appropriate! UGH!

Ooh they are all so cute!! I love furry babies!

Here is my sweetie on my default pic. Her name is Eleanor Rigby (Ellie) and she is a 90 pound pitbull. She is the nicest most gentle dog ever!!

I also have a kittie name Guinness, but no pictures of her on my profile yet

Spursfan: I totally hear you on the athletic frame thing. In high school I weighed 180 and didn't have an ounce of fat on me. I look at pictures of myself in high school and I would kill to be that toned again. But even without any fat I still wore a size 12!

Last year I hit my heaviest weight at 230 pounds! I was a size 16 at that point. Then I lost 60 pounds and got down to 170. I was pretty toned then, and my body fat percentage via bioelectrical impedence (more accurate than the height-weight BMI calculation) was 19%! Even then I was only a size 8 or 10.

Unfortunately, I have gained a little back and I'm trying to ditch those pesky 20 pounds before my wedding in October. I am just having a bit of a struggle getting back there.

Muttlover: Don't worry hun! I was 5'10" in fifth grade!! I went through elementary school feeling enormous. In college, I met a guy and he was sitting down at the time so I hadn't really noticed his height. Then I overheard him talking and he said that he was 6'8"! I immediately ran up to him and jokingly asked him to marry me. We started dating that day and are now getting married in October! You just have to seek out the tall men because I think most of them are looking for tall women!

Hi folks!! Tonight, I was soooo hungry for a giant bag of greasy potato chips with some sour cream and onion dip. It was seriously all I could think about. When I get these cravings, having just a bite or two does not help.

So, to beat my craving, I bought Lays light potato chips (only 75 calories for 20 chips and 0 fat) and dipped them into fage 0% greek yogurt with dried french onion soup dip mixed in. It was really yummy and a good amount only cost me about 250 calories!! Yay!!!

What is everybody doing for the Super Bowl? 

1. 5-6 days per week (3 days of cardio, 3 days of cardio + weight training)

2. I love that feeling when you finish a really hard workout. It gets your mind off everything else. It is soooo much fun to see results and watch your strength and endurance improve. I feel guilty if I don't go.

3. Never been injured (good shoes are key!!) 

I think Britney's pre-baby body was smoking hot!! I would love to have that body. She was toned and fit.  Her body is slowly getting back to that point.

By the way, Queen Latifah beautiful!! 

I have used whey protein in the past. The problem I had with it was that to use it you need to make milkshakes or something of that sort in order to make it taste decent. My issue was that the shakes added at least 200 calories and the protein powder was around 50-100 calories, so you ultimately end up with a 300 calories snack. Unfortunately, the men that bulk up with whey protein consume probably at least 3 or 4 of those a day. Those calories really add up!

Basically, I tried it, but couldn't commit to more than one shake a day because I wasn't looking to gain weight. It didn't work for me, but it might work for you. You can always give it a try and see how it works for you. Just be sure to continue to eat well balanced meals (don't go on a whey protein shake diet ).
