I want to try protein fluff it sounds right up my alley :) I am really hot on Halo Top Ice Cream right now. My kids like breyer's mint chip and a 1/2 cup portion just doesn't work for me.

Because I struggle with the mom guilt and have a tough time spending money on myself instead of my kids. I have definitely found some reasonable priced options including a research lab at the university where I work. That's what I am looking for...a little motivation and maybe shifting my goals a bit! :) I really like the…

The results look really interesting and given that I haven't had this done since my baby was a baby Id love to know where I stand! (That "baby" is now in the 3rd grade! :open_mouth: )

Same situation but we don't live together...so we don't have all our meals together but when we do we have the same thing with his portion being much larger than mine or slightly modified. For example, we will make turkey tacos and he will have his on 2 tortillas with 3/4 an avocado. Mine will be on a salad and heavier on…

I think regular milk has a funny after-taste that I cant stand :P but almond milk is just fine for me. Goes to show that we all have such different tastes!!

This. A lot of time leftovers. Or a variation on leftovers. For example, tonight I am making a balsamic pork tenderloin with roasted veggies. Tomorrow the pork will be sliced over a salad for lunch.

This is the kind with tofu...they taste a bit better than miracle noodles to me. I think its worth the carbs and few calories!

I am so trying this when I get home today!

They work well in Pho but personally not a huge fan of the miracle noodle variety....there are other brands of shirataki noodles that use a bit of tofu that really improve the texture in my opinion. I occasionally use them in stir fries after dry frying like queenmunchy described.

Im on a bit of a zoodle kick right now--Tonight I am trying zoodles with a light pumpkin alfredo, mushrooms, ground turkey, onions and sage. From what I have preplanned in MFP it should just under 400 calories :) I cant wait to leave my office!

Don't want to opine on whether a rest day is necessary as I think it's a decision of what works for you, though some may find it essential but did want to comment and say I totally relate to the rest of your post! I (mostly) run but do mix it up a bit now. I have an hour a day, albeit at 5am, that is 100% to myself (no…

Ralphs and whole foods have it at some locations but not all--I spent a good portion of Sunday afternoon driving around Los Angeles looking for the stuff :P I also found it at a Vons (owned by Safeway).

Last night I made zucchini noodles sautéed with garlic, tossed with roasted eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and parm. It was a huge bowl for under 300 calories.

Pumpkin sage alfredo with carmelized onions, mushrooms and ground turkey over zucchini noodles. Trying something new and I cant wait :)

Zoodle (pasta) alls Norma

The intent of my statement was that the OP should look around first--see what the salesperson has to say but I don't think a lot of small local stores sell the variety of styles and brands that could be found online. For the record, I have never gotten an analysis from "specialty store" so I have no idea what it entails,…

Mint chocolate chip ice cream (I have a bit of sweet tooth but this is something I LOVE) Chips and salsa

I do a lot of spiralized veggies with a bit of protein. Personally, I need volume to feel full so to fit in the quantity I want I do a lot of filling veggies that are low calorie: salad, carrots, zucchini, eggplant. I also really love veggies!

Dumb question for the fluff newbie: what would happen if you were to put this in an ice cream maker after fluffing? Has anyone tried it?

I overpronate too--My advice is get the analysis done at the running store and then look online for the shoe types that are recommended for your foot. A lot of these stores don't offer that many of the models unless they are a mega-store like this place: http://www.roadrunnersports.com/ Also, you can probably do better…

Im doing something similar tonight: a homemade pb2 sauce with spiralized zucchini, tofu and egg. Will top with shredded carrots, bean sprouts and cilantro. I guess its a loose interpretation of Pad thai...

They are totally fine. If they are really old they will be a little on the dry side but that's it (not that I know from experience or anything :P )

I just upgraded from one of those to a Paderno (cant wait for it to arrive) but I like to spiralize a whole load of zucchini so I have it ready to go for stirfries, pasta, etc and my hand was hurting!

yeah, for the calories, 15g of protein is pretty good!

O.M.G. @mattyc772014 you have made my day! I have a container of HaloTop I plan to try this weekend but I NEED to try this.

yup--those make your own places are all over the beach here. Im an ice cream junkie :) It is one of my two weaknesses (other than chips and salsa) The other place that is amazing is Scoops--weirdest most delicious flavors ever! http://scoopswestside.com/ Brown Bread Ice Cream is so good and you wouldn't think it would be!…

They sell their ice cream in grocery stores here! Founded by UCLA Alums :) The best is Diddy Riese though: http://www.diddyriese.com/ They ship their cookies but not their ice cream sandwiches

Hugs--that is so stressful! While I cant relate to the specific situation I understand the behavior. I did this last night. I have huge problems with my ex-husband attempting to make my life miserable and the knowledge of what the future holds in terms of court etc. just pushed me over the edge. I had probably two cups of…

This is an awesome perspective! I have been so guilty of this in the last month while dealing with a tough time.
