to me, it looks like you're mixing a personal website with a professional one. Someone who is interested in hiring you doesn't need to know your favorite movies or see photos of your bar from college. You never know what might tip the scales against you, so stuff like that is risky.

On the resume side, I thought it was odd that some jobs only had one or two bullet points. If you were there for a couple years, you probably had more responsibilities and accomplishments than that. On that point, some bullet points contained multiple points, so I'm not sure what drove the content of a single bullet.

I could nitpick it more, but I've got to get to work. I'll pick on you more later

I think this is payback for doing tri's instead of just one sport. You're lucky that you're not getting triplets

...just make sure to not have a "Vegas Baby"

I think Jill might have just invented a great thread here...

It's expensive, but Blue Man Group and Penn & Teller are great shows.

The original question was about BMR:
BMR is what you would burn if you were totally inert with no activity other than breathing and digesting.

Any activity is in addition to that.

Rachael

that is awesome. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

No matter how hard I try not to see the photo that way, Baby B looks a little like the starship Enterprise.

We also know that you can stay in shape by chasing two kids instead of one

So I've been away a little the last month or so.

First I broke my nose, then I got a sinus infection... and then Shelli's annual checkup came back with something potentially bad. Bad enough that her doctor wanted to get multiple biopsies from surrounding tissue. He suspected ovarian cancer.

For the last several weeks, we've been going from appointment to appointment, putting Shelli through all kinds of medieval torture and waiting to hear the worst.

This morning, we got the biopsy results. As you may have guessed from the title, the doctor said that everything was benign. In fact, the damage seemed to be more in the "degeneration" than "growth" category. He doesn't think we need to do any surgery or further treatment at this time.

Of course, we've both been total stress cases. We've been eating like crap (lots of ice cream), not working out, and mostly just trying not to freak out. We've spent a little reckless money on toys and gadgets to keep our minds off everything.

Now that it's all clear, it's time to get back to real life!

Congrats, Rachael! That's so awesome!!!

Dive in an enjoy it, whether it's a rebound or not. It can still be fun just to start over again.

I posted about this a while back:

though honestly, as long as you're burning as many calories as possible, the source does not matter all that much.

Yup, I'll post my Khaki pics on Monday. I'm assuming that's what you were asking?

I think the pics should start showing a wider range of change...

85 miles on the bike this week... outstanding for February!

I HAD TO WEAR A SMALLER BRA TODAY!!!!!

You know, Stina, this is supposed to be a picture thread...

sorry, I've been sick the last week, so mostly holding steady:

"to not XXX is to not live for me."

Must..... resist.....

I'm not sure if this is related, but maybe....

In 2000, I had a string of crashes. In 8 months, I broke two bones and tore three muscles. I dislocated my knee and I ruptured the prepatellar bursa in the same knee in separate crashes. On top of that, I was fighting minor flu symptoms for most of the year.

I was a wreck.

In January 2001, I started working with a coach. He looked over my training logs and told me I was overtraining. I was doing too much high intensity training with little rest between hard days and as a result, my nervous system was not running like it should. The crashes were most likely caused by my reflexes and propriceptive sense not being what they should.

He dialed the number of intense workouts each week down and dialed down the intensity of those days for 4 months. Once he built up my tolerance, we slowly added the higher intensity back in, with measured and intentional doses. I won my first race in Sept 2001.

It's absolutely possible that you're causing these issues by pushing too much too hard too often. I can't say for sure that it is the cause, but it is possible.

um.... riding my bike? (I guess the "winning" part is what I really want to get back)

I also like going to the range and shooting. I like getting way out in nature and seeing what I can capture on my camera. I like tinkering with random projects around the house. None of those are really prevented by my weight in any way.

What do you want more, to be pregnant or to not be in pain from a needle?

You can do it!

Girls win again!!! WTG ladies!!

Umm.... the guys lost 18 pounds while the women gained 6 pounds. How is that winning?

I caught a glimpse of my ab muscles today

Sam, pics?

Then I saw my boyfriends facebook status (I know, Im so gen y)

At our wedding reception, Shelli and I pulled out our phones and changed our FB statuses to "Married"

Yay, Jane!

There's a division line there.... my teammates rarely say stuff like that. The new members or the ones who really try too hard say that stuff all the time!

don't fret

But I like playing guitar!

I've had a long standing theory:
The technical part of weight loss, eating a bit less than you burn, it so simple that there must be other factors preventing it, such as.
- the emotional side. People like food.
- the social side. People tend to eat together and tend to keep eating as long as anyone else is eating.
- the habit side. It's hard to change any habit, good or bad.
- the biochemical side. Sometimes eating one thing makes you crave more of it or feel a certain way.

(and many, many more)

Overriding social and emotional factors, long-term habits, and the body's cravings so you can do what is best in the long run is one of the hardest things someone can ever do in life!

Yesterday you were down 1.3lb on the day before - that's 1.3lb loss in 2 days - pretty good,

Heck, maintaining 1.3 pounds lost per week for several weeks in a row is pretty good. Per Day is almost impossible for any length of time.

My leg started hurting when I was climbing my pole

I didn't realize you did that kind of work, Iris!

I had several things working against me, which ramped up the impact:
- my cat ran between my legs, so I was turning my head left to look at her
- I was swinging the door to the right
- the door hit my glasses, causing the force to be focused on a much smaller area (at the little pad against my nose)
