Morning's Bike Ride Photo--A Host of Sunflowers
Thought I'd share this wonderful field of sunflowers I came across on my ride this morning--they were so incredibly beautiful! I pedaled in the sun so bright, hot, sweating, and losing power. When all at once I saw a sight! A host of golden sunflowers! Beside the road down by the sea, they brought much joy to tired ole'…

Sick of Hearing It!
RANT! So, I've been working on my weightloss/healthy living since March1. I've lost almost 35 lbs, and I want to keep going! The problem is, my friends and family are all asking, what's your end goal? I tell them I want to hit 155 (I'm currently hovering around 180). I don't think 155 is that low, I'm 5'7'' with a somewhat…

Got my LASIK!
Got my Lasik on Friday and I :heart: it! I would do that again in a heartbeat. To anybody who is thinking about doing it- go for it! It is the best thing ever! I had both eyes done and I was in the laser suite for less that 10 minutes! That's how quick it is! I had it done at 11AM and by 5 PM I could see better that I was…

I filled up today and drove to the gym got stuck in some traffic and travelled home(about 20 min on a good day) and again sat in some traffic and that…

Off the wall questions...
I was curious, does it matter how fast you walk when you are trying to lose weight? Like I go everyday and walk usually about 2 miles...I walk pretty swiftly. Would it make a difference as far as burning calories and weight loss if I walked at a slower pace? And this is odd, but I have always been told that having sex…

How do you know?
How do you know when to change your weight... how long do you guys wait? What if we check in once a week and only once. Since I weigh myself daily I see that there can be a lb or 2 variability from day to day (although I haven't seen the scale fluctuate UP since my plateau which was probably muscle gain). Do any of you…

Hungry Girl cookbook question?
I'm browsing books on Amazon and am considering picking up this one but I much first ask 2 questions about the book, since I know so many of you have it and love it! 1) how illustrated is it? I am very visual, is there a photo for each recipe? and 2) how many people do the recipes generally serve? I usually cook for 2, so…

I hurt.
So, somehow last week I hurt my neck. Don't ask me how. I basically went to sleep and woke up with what I thought was a stiff neck. Well, I was wrong. Its now been over a week and I have trouble turning my head more than maybe 90 degrees in front of me. I can turn it 100% parallel to my right side with just a little pain,…

A Question about artifical sweetners
I am confused on this subject and I was wondering if anyone might have some info that might help. I would also like some opinions on the subject too.

Fell off the wagon, or so I thought.
I've been having a really hard time with the whole weight loss thing. I really want it, but I just kept screwing up. Or so I thought. I have had problems in the past with unhealthy methods of weight loss, so I don't even keep a scale at my house. I haven't been able to weigh myself since I started. I weighed the other day,…
