Let Live

Don't Stop Believin - Journey

I usually do a protein yogurt (14-15g of protein) and a cup of coffee with half n half and a couple teaspoons of sugar. On the weekends, I may have a bowl of cereal, some fruit and eggs or oatmeal.

Stand - REM

Yep, all empty calories. I indulge in some fruity cocktails only once a month now and always make up for the extra calories by either banking them through the weeks or working out a bit longer.

Alone Again - Dokken

Soul Meets Body - Death Cab For Cutie

So far the only flavor I've tried is the Mint Chip and while a little overpowering, it's damn good in my opinion. I just bought a pint of chocolate and I'll try that after dinner tonight. Also bought a pint of Cake Batter Arctic Zero...not a fan

Food scale :)

White Wedding - Billy Idol

It was 30 for me. 40 didn't bother me so much and 45 is coming up this year and I couldn't care less. 50 might make me cry though!

I'd never be able to keep up with you but good luck finding a pal!

@IVMay There's also one in Denver, CO where I just moved from. It was very relaxing and soothing to go sit in one of their big comfy chairs, grab a book and cup of coffee and have different cats all around. Of course, it made me want to adopt them all, which I already have 2 and husband would flip *kitten* if I did, but…

Deal with it! People don't visit a cat cafe without the expectation that there will be cat hair! LOL Ever been to one?

To open a cat cafe near the beach. Would rescue adoptable cats from high kill shelters, have lots of places for them to lounge around the cafe, great books for people to read, brew awesome coffee and adopt the kitties out to qualified and loving homes :)

Listen to your gut instincts. If it feels off or wrong, it most likely is!

Cheeseburgers and fries

I use cooking spray - very negligible so no need to count and it keeps the eggs from sticking :)

Clearwater

I'm surprised the recumbent bike hurts your knees - since that's really the only machine I can work out on with my bad knees. I have patellafemoral syndrome in both knees and ellipticals tend to feel really "jerky" even though it's supposed to be a more fluid movement than a treadmill. I hope you're able to find something…

I get hungry from time to time while in a deficit and usually either drink more water or have some green tea to get me through to the next meal. If I'm really hungry after a half hour, I'll eat a few almonds and that usually does the trick. I don't get to the point where you are though, so I'd do as others have suggested…

I'm not in SC but have moved around A LOT in my life. I've lived in 11 states. I always check out Citydata.com for information from local people in the areas in which I was looking to move. You can get a lot of information from the forums there! Good luck with your move!

I've always loved animals and started doing animal rescue as a teen. Fostering unwanted pets and finding new homes. That naturally evolved to wanting to work with them on a daily basis but actually be able to make a career out of it. I could've gone from vet assistant to technician and gone to tech school for 2 years, but…

Yes, Clearwater here :) Am a new transplant from Colorado and loving it!

I sorta worked my way up through the ranks in animal medicine. Took a job as a teenager at a boarding kennel feeding dogs and cleaning cages. Worked my way into doing the same for a veterinary clinic, then got trained as a veterinary assistant and up to Practice Manager. Also did the same as a receptionist, then office…

I have an open food diary - add me as well :)

Sleeping With Sirens

"Hello Fascination" - Breathe Carolina

I'm at 1200. I'm very short (just under 5') so 1200 is my daily goal. I've lost 13lbs so far since the end of January. I have an open diary. Feel free to add me :)

I don't like it when they don't wipe down the machines after sweating all over them. There are disinfectant wipes stationed all over the gym - take 2 minutes out of your time and wipe down the machines when you're done!
