After giving blood it's 24 hours rest before any strenuous activity. Take the day off.

Cooking stores - Penzey's for dried spices.

Thanks Pyro! I'm giving blood around 1pm today, you think its too soon to run tomorrow am around 5? I am training to do a 10k and really don't want to take the time off! I will have to look up Penzey's, thanks!

Cbarber anyone can cook, just grab a recipe and follow the directions,

You'd think it would be that easy, right?

I think it would be haha, but I do have to admit that if you don't have the right tools or big enough kitchen it sure is a challenge! Can anyone reccomend great cooking stores, books, etc.?

Food net work (TV)
Better homes and gardens cook books, for general cooking, I haven't bought the PB cook book yet so I don't know about that one. I buy a lot of cook books at garage sales, I must have 50

Thanks MOJO those look great, Cbarber anyone can cook, just grab a recipe and follow the directions, I love to cook, so maybe that makes a difference.

Grokkette, HGC? I don't know enough about it to really comment, just seems like a short cut to me. From what I know about you so far, I sure though you have researched it and know it's good for you.

It is not a short cut, but I need to get some weight off and get it off fast. My doctor put me on it last year (she is a naturopathic doctor) and yes I thoroughly researched before hand too.

I need to lose weight fast because of a medical issue that I won't discuss online. Could be a big deal or not a big deal...........don't know yet........So I am combining plans to get quick results right now.

Last year I did the HCG plan for getting hormones back in balance and it worked wonderfully and I lost 38 pounds in the process.

Good luck, hope everything turns out ok.

I have the PBP cookbook and I love it. I have tried quite a few recipes in it and have loved every one of them so far.

I would stay away from Nutella, i think it has added sugar. Maybe make your own with hazelnuts fresh ground, some cacao powder and some stevia or raw honey.........

Thanks Grokette! I will definitely be purchasing the PBP cookbook Look at this wonderful recipe! http://www.marksdailyapple.com/double-pork-stuffed-chicken-breasts/

I have been staying away from Nutella, but it is so good! haha I know its not Paleo, but for breakfast I've been eating a slice of 12 grain with a small amount of peanut butter!

Very low Carbs/Fiber, a Laxative, low sodium, and minimal water or even use a diuretic(Midol??) Phantom weight, but if you really want to get there, that should be good for an easy couple(probably much more) pounds. I wouldn't do it though 'cuz you'll then see a big jump upwards on the scale when back to normal, also phantom weight, but hard on the mental aspect of things. Stressing over that number may be slowing your progress a little. If you just weighed in, there is really nothing good about weighing in again before your next scheduled weigh in.

HAHA okay Pyro, touche. I know, nutella=bad. I just am going to a B&B tomorrow evening with my husband and would just love to get my run in the morning. Hmm, maybe I'll have a big ol' steak for dinner, pump up my iron so that I don't pass out and break PB Law #9 :laugh:

Anyone else have a hard time keeping their mouth shut when someone post something completely stupid? Not any of you on this thread, but CW has so entrenched people with ignorance it’s comical at times. Like this one, “is it safe or healthy to fast for a day?” I’m like, really? What do you think your body stores fat for, just to destroy your self esteem?

MissKim

It was my goal, from like Jan 1st to be under 200 by my birthday. and tomorrow is my birthday, so that's why it means so much to me. I weign in on fridays too. I weign in on thursdays, fridays, and mondays. I know it seems like alot. but i'm a very competitive person and being in competitions really help me lose and keeps me on track. I'm in one at work, I'm in scaleback alabama where i weigh in at my gym, and I also have a group on here I weigh in with every friday. Some people don't like the scale or it discourages them. but I know enough about water weight, glycogen stores, etc..etc.. that a higher number doesn't scare me. I know that thinks fluctuate from day to day. it just motivates me even more. I also take measurements at the beginning of every month and i also have a fat loss body monitor, the kind they use at gyms. trust me, i'm losing this weight!!! I've seen too many people have babies and then let the extra weight stick around for years using the excuse that its baby weight! I was 198 when I got pregnant, so I'm really close to my prepregnancy weight. but then I have another 60 lbs to lose

Haha I must admit that is kind of funny, but I've had the same thoughts and needed opinions! There are several topics that do make me laugh though! I think we just have to laugh to ourselves and continually educate!!!

I have found that what works best for one person doesn't for another, so as long as you're doing what is best for MissKim, keep it up! You are definitely doing wonderfully so just keep it up

So, speaking of fiber, (someone mentioned it earlier today) I looked at mine, and its def something I'm lacking in, even with eating tons of veggies. What do yall recomend?

XFitMojoMom

XFitMojoMom = Pam... and I'm a Canuck. Yep, a tree hugging Canadian... damn us, we're everywhere.:laugh:

If you do a search here on MFP someone recently posted a recipe for homemade Nutella..

I've been circling the drain with my nutrition lately. I got some decent meat in the freezer and I just need to throw it in the slow cooker, but not tonight. My IL's and nieces are in town and we're going for pizza. Cheese and wine have been killing me lately :explode: I so need to get back on the plan. I need to revise my mini goals and set new ones and just muscle ahead and get them done!

More veggies or change them to ones with more fiber. Fruit if it's not out of the question. Supplement worst case.

AshCarlson

I think with fiber initially you'll see a downfall, but you're body readjusts and you actually become healthier if you continue eating primal. Just stick with it! But veggies, veggies, veggies!

tatiana_13

Fiber...well, I think it partly depends on how much of a fat eater you are. If you tend to be on the higher end of fat, you tend to have less of a problem "moving things along." But those whose taste buds or physiological makeup want less fat, and feel like you need more fiber, I really like flax meal. Its a seed, its relatively tasteless and has very little texture when ground up, so it can be added into food, which is how I like my supplements (I'm not much of a pill swallower).

But...think about why you think you "need" more fiber. Don't go by a recommended number. Go by what your body seems to think it needs for digestion. If your bathroom habits are going along fine, then you're probably eating plenty of fiber.

That's my humble little two cents...
