    I love CHEESE!!!!
    I love it...love it love it love it. I also like...hmmm...fruits like grapes.
    But I really love cheese. Not the fat free kind for me. I like that munster cheese, 2 slices to make a melty grilled cheese sandwich.
    I also like walking....it calms me, with a great soundtrack on my ipod that combines pop and rebellious alternative music:) So I am like, "Yeah! Stick it to the man!" Then I go and do my homework:)

    This is awesome:

    Fitness:

    My Danskin Cropped Workout Pants( Which I was wearing at a 3x, and now am wearing a very loose 2x! :) )They are so comfy and it akes me feel good to look down and see how much weight I've lost in my thighs!

    Golds Gym Resistance Bands: I love these! I bring them to work as I work evenings and sometimes while listening to music when everything is done for the day, and dull, I break those out and do two sets of 30 reps of a bunch of exercises...love them!

    I also have Danskin cropped workout pants and long pants. They have held up nicely! And I also have a Golds Gym Resistance band that I use! :)

    My HRM - I use the Polar FT40F - It's great for logging my calories burned during exercise and the fit test is useful. I also wear it in bed for 30 minutes every couple of weeks so that I can work out my *real* BMR (I just times the number by two and then times that number by 24).

    Bike - Nice for cycling across Salisbury plane when it's god weather outside

    My DVD player - I love working out at home and need this to play Insanity, JM 30 Day shred, etc.

    My parachute for when I'm skydiving - things would be a little tricky without it! Lol.

    Food wise:

    Vita coco - natural, low calorie, full of electrolytes and yummy!

    Rice cakes with houmous. Quick and easy snack

    Banana ice cream - actually just frozen bananas, half a scoop of protein powder and a splash of milk. Heaven!

    My must-haves:
    1) Low-fat cottage cheese
    2) Oatmeal for a low-calorie but super filling breakfast
    3) friends to workout with
    4) my food diary - it helps me remember that I can eat whatever I want, BUT...I have to log it!
    5) Greek Yogurt

    Somebody to keep you accountible (which can be so hard to find!)
    My Perfectpullup! Can't do a pullup to save my life but it helps work my lower stomach which i'm in need of with my post-pregnant pudge ;)
