Oh Ellen, you and your same sex partner must be so cute together.
My wife was 5'4 115 once. Having kids sucks, but she's carrying it pretty well and she keeps my motor running. Probably the best workout I get sometimes.
Hey now... Tailg8er wanted a weight gain story, so I gave him one. Now i'll go back to finishing off a sleeve of girl scout cookies while laughing at people with slow metabolisms as they get angry at me.
Similar situation.
Caloric intake to maintain w/ no physical activity (other than average day's worth of walking) = 2800 calories.
Metabolism FTW!!
"Mommy and Daddy are wrestling. And Daddy's winning!" **HIGH FIVE**
Thank god I only have sons. I think our escapades would screw up a daughter much more than the boys.
My wife and I have been going through this for some time now, so I guess that is my confession. I have come to the realization that we will most likely not have children, but it has understandably been more difficult for her.
Just be there for each other, even if she says you don't understand what it is like for her (because she is right - you don't). And get ready for the emotional roller coaster every time she sees a pregant woman or a baby at the store, or every time one of her friends on facebook gets pregnant.
Pretty much it has come to the decision of whether we want to just be child-free or adopt, which can be expensive. Fertility treatment is not an option for us, as insurance doesn't cover it.
Best of luck to you and your wife. Do not forget that the number one reason that you married each other is not because you wanted children (even though you do want them) but because you love one another and want to spend your lives together.
cycarob and ISUAgronomist have been added to the list.
Beating up skinny dudes might just turn into my favorite form of excercise. Thanks guys!
You are correct. For this time period, and this time period alone, my 12 oz curls are pop-based. The rest of the year, they are beer-based.
That's what you get for trying to fart with the kids!
Weight isn't the thing to solely focus on. Different bodies shapes and configurations make a difference. I was my healthiest right out of college, I cut the fat and worked out hard. I was 5 11 and weighed 190. Had a 44 coat and 31 pants, everything had to be custom fit.
Want to go back to a 34 pant so that would probably put me at 200 area. 20 years makes a lot of difference.
I saw some of you skipped Insanity. I skipped my Insanity Asylum: Gameday workout. I am not alone, yay!
I really liked Dave Matthews Band for a time, and it had nothing to do with pot or what I was listening to when I lost my virginity (Ben Kweller's "Wasted and Ready" and the Dropkick Murphy's "Spicy McHaggis Jig" in case anyone is wondering). They write good songs that use really strange chord progressions and melodies and have a way of working into your brain.
I've kind of moved past that stage musically, but I still put them on from time to time. They're great live as well.
Frankly, even as a fan, I can't figure out why they're as popular as they are. The music isn't really that catchy or accessible. I guess lyrically it has a pretty universal message and all that, but I'm surprised it has such mass appeal.
I'll be your tag team partner, would be good exercise. Those ******* can probably outrun me now, so I would need to make sure they are corralled.
6'-2" and 160 pounds of lean, mean, fighting machine!
I do workout quite a bit because I'm too competitive for my own good and have won a few road and trail races. Also, there are quite a few decent athletes at work, and I don't like being outdone. Stupid competitiveness.
Back to the serious stuff.
If either of you do decide to adopt, I suggest doing an overseas adoption. Not sure how the costs compare but I just don't trust domestic adoption. There are too many stories of mothers demanding their kids back later on.
My wifes younger brother was adopted from Russia. It ended up being a hassle, but they didn't regret it in the slightest.
