    I am sorry that I have been MIA right now. I have alot of things going on in my life right now. My platelets are up and my stomach is hurting really bad so I haven't been doing much on here. I am sorry for that. I am lactose intolerance right now and my other results haven't come back yet so I don't know yet.

    August 17th: All I got done yesterday was walking as I wasn't feeling well.
    August 18th: Step ups and weights 10mins almost 11 (34 calories)

    You need to look after you-- please don't have any guilt about not being on here. You're having a hard time now, and we're here for ya! ( and I just realized that I made my other comment to you to Carissa instead!! Nuts!) It's all a process, and taking a few days for you is more important. Good for you for getting in some stuff today!

    **I agree with Elaine! You need to take care of yourself first and foremost. We will be here whenever you need us!

    Emotional Challenge:
    What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from falling back into the "I am heavy because...." attitude?
    My biggest excuse lately was my pregnancy. I was losing weight before becoming pregnant and then stopped working out when I found out, (My hr goes pretty high when working out, and still does, and I was being extra cautious). Now baby is 5 months old, so it's time to get back in the swing of things.

    Phew! Managed to make today into a 1000+ burn! Danced with the kids doing Just Dance with the wii, then 30DS, and finished off the day with 70 minutes on my Gazelle. As I have said before, I'm really interested to see how accurate the count is on that thing. I picked somewhere between what the machine said and what I found on another website... but if both are telling me I'm burning 750 cals in 70 mins.. I'll take it! Soo sweaty now though. Bleh.

    Apple Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

    Prep time: 5 minutes
    Cook time: 5 minutes

    Ingredients

    4 Flour tortillas (approximately 8-inches wide)
    1 cup cooked, shredded or chopped, chicken meat
    1/4 lb cheddar or Monterey jack cheese, sliced or grated
    1 apple, sliced
    1/4 cup salsa

    Method

    1 Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Flip it a couple of times with a spatula, then let it sit in the pan heating up until air pockets form and parts of the tortilla begin to puff up. Flip it again.

    2 Place cheese slices on half of the tortilla, at least 1/2-inch from the edge of the tortilla. Add chicken pieces on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla over like an omelette, and press down on the folded tortilla with the spatula. Lower the heat to medium. At this point, if you have enough room in your skillet, you can add a second tortilla to the pan to begin to heat it up.

    3 When the cheese inside the quesadilla has melted, remove the quesadilla to a cutting board. Open it wide and layer on apple slices and salsa. Fold the tortilla back again, and cut it into 3 triangles, as if you were cutting a pie. (You don't have to cut the quesadilla into triangles, it just makes it easier for kids to eat.)

    4 Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

    Yield: Makes 12 quesadilla triangles.

    Per Triangle-

    105 Cal
    9 Carb
    5 Fat
    7 Protein
    9 Calcium
    200 Sodium

    My kids have a new love for these.. or any quesadilla!!! There's great pics here...
