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:)0 -
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!0 -

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!0 -
