Wow...made a huge mistake yesterday. My daughter was having a rough day so we went to have some girl time. It was lunch time and she requested Arby's! Ugh!!! Never again. What was I thinking! :s Curly fries? Really! A BIG A@@ white bun filled with salty beef??? Gross!!! This morning I feel disgusting. My pledge to myself…

I ended up returning the NutriBullet, but picked up another system. Although I most often hand washed it I know it went into the dishwasher a couple of times for a "deep cleaning". Never again. Good tip. Thanks #dawnmmc .

So, I'm taking my second NutriBullet back to Costco today. It's about 4 months old and it's started to leak what looks like rust into to mixing cup and from the bottom of the blade. Hats the second unit that's fine this. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

I really struggles with getting my protein in at first. I never touch articulate sweeteners, so protein shakes were out of he question. I did found a completely clean protein powder though. I have 2 scoops in unsweetened vanilla almond milk every morning and theirs my first 60grams of protein licked up. Sometimes I have it…

I know what you mean about the spiritual aspect of yoga. I struggle with the too. My BGFF (best girlfriend...I have. BBFF too. It's important to give credit where credit is due! ;) ) found a very good hatha yoga class. It's a bit repetitive and spiritual, but I've decided the benifits far out way the cons. We quit going…

Thanks EauRouge1! So I won't be offended if you nod off while reading my (often long winded) posts. :# :)

By the way Shannon, thanks for the Niki app tip!! I'm going to check it out.

You could always walk without said pup though, no? :#

Hi again Shannon Sounds like you have a plan! :) Are you working up to 4 times a week at the gym etc. or are you jumping in with both feet? I had planned on jumping in with both feet, but life and overdoing in on my first day back to the gym dictated that I'd better slow it down a wee bit. I'm okay with that. This week-…

EauRouge1, I love the spoons metaphor. I'll find and post the full one. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Shannon and welcome. Sorry it took me so long to responde. I'm still trying to get my butt in gear after a couple of weeks of at Christmas. It's the one upside to getting a Dx. Realizing that we don't have forever to do what's on our bucket list. Good for you! My son's been in Tae Kwon Do since he was 8. He took a break…

Things a good! Thanks! I got two hours of pottery in today!! ?..and I'm in multiple Fitbit challenges. I think it's going to be pretty easy to get and stay on track as long as I stay focused. As got daily cals, I've been instructed by my naturopath to get 1600cals in a day. It's a struggle. I usually get in about 1300. 20%…

NutriBullet recipe: 2 T plain whey powder - clean 2C baby kale or baby spinach 1 C berries 2T chia seeds 2T hemp hearts 1.5 C vanilla almond milk 1.5 C plain Greek yogurt. Loaded with protein, fiber and low in carbs. Yummmm

Hi Alex. Happy New Year and thanks for joining us. Getting a Dx is a scary thing and unfortunatly not something we can control. The way we choose to badly it is entirely up to us though. I believe we deserve a chance to grieve and get made at out bodies for letting us down....but then... The great news is we do have…

Willpower of steel...I hope so!

Yes, I'm in Canada. I'm in Northern Ontario. I was in Scotland this past summer. I so love it there. My biggest issue I think is getting complacent. I've been at this since Aug. I was doing amazingly well but then I got comfortable and let a life situation ( dog had major leg surgery) knock me off my game. I quick going to…

https://www.fitbit.com/user/2YF8ZT Upgrades from a Flexto the HR. Look out Jan 1st...Here I come. ;)

I'm in! I started this journey in Aug and am down 20 pounds, half way to my goal. In 8 weeks I turn 50! :smiley: and am celebrating on the beaches of Cuba. I see I need some fresh motivation and support to keep me on track. I am loving the idea of a 12 week challenge. I'll fill in the CW blanks tomorrow. No doubt I put a…

I love roasted chickpeas. Do you make your own? I tried once, but it was a disaster. Costco in Canada use to sell them...very salty though and high in carbs. Now when Im on my game I cut up celery into small pieces. Then I get the salty and crunchy when I have that craving... and my willpower is such that I don't break…

Cool...look what I found (assuming this works)

You want back up...you've got it! :) That time between lunch and dinner it tough. It seems SO long. Personally I try to snack on a piece of fruit and some almonds and drink water. That tides me over until dinner. What's your favourite snack at that time of day?

Today's where it begins! B)

Hi EauRouge1 Thanks for joining....and thanks for the birthday wish...Feb 26th is the big day, I'm pumped to reach a bunch of goals by then. Are you into mini goals? Is yes, would you like to share your newest one?
