If made properly, yum. Grits?

I used to be a diet coke addict. I only have one rarely now and I feel so much better. I drink a lot of water and if I want to switch it up I will put sliced lemon, berries, mint, orange etc. into the water. I try to avoid any preservatives, dyes, artificial flavorings and sweeteners.

I like your hammer.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist there is nobody I wouldn't give a massage to...for the right price.

I think it would depend on several factors. I've gained 10 lbs in a weekend (a really good weekend), but a lot of that was water weight and food moving through my belly (put it in faster than it came out). That amount of weight is not great on a 5'8" person, but do that on a 5' even person, it is probably worse. Then, Aunt…

I try to have the majority of my diet be fruit and veggies, legumes and lean meat. If I am offered something that doesn't fit in my usual plan I will consider whether I really want it or not. I will use a few negative motivators if I don't really want it and walk away from it. If I do really want it I will savor it. I will…

Sautee some green peppers, mushrooms and onions and garlic. Add sea salt and pepper (generous on the pepper). If you are feeling really ambitious you can put some almonds, walnuts and milled flax seed in a blender with some seasonings (taco spices, bbq spices, even poultry seasoning) add a little coconut oil to make it…

So, 15-20 lbs in a month. Major healthy changes with nutrition and activity. And, you are disappointed? Did I miss something? All I can say is being healthy and fit isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. It's a lifetime of healthy choices.

I say that I have plenty of will power, but not much won't power. Planning is essential. Plan what your goals are, and plan on how you are going to reach them. Don't be too restrictive with your meals. I know if I am too restrictive I am not satisfied and more likely to binge. Use your journal. Put everything you eat in…

No HYE gotten a professional massage?

Thank you guys for all the good advice. I didn't say anything to her about her food choices today, and she didn't ask me. If she does start in again I have lots of replies I can give her, but bottom line is the ball is in her court. She can either be responsible for what goes into her mouth, or not. It has nothing to do…

The blood of my enemies.

I was on day/night rotation as an ICU RN. We would work 2 12 hour nights and one day/week, then two 12 hour days and one night the next week. Totally f'd me up. Part of the problem is that I would eat to stay awake and part of the problem was that I felt so exhausted all the time I didn't want to work out. It's a…

First, I think it's a great goal to want to be a personal trainer or nutritionist. Who better to motivate and encourage people than someone who has 'been there'. Second, don't let other people drag you down, ever. Sometimes I take those negative things I have heard said about me and turn them into 'negative motivators'.…

Keeps a picture of Taylor Momsen on her fridge for 'thinspiration'.

I'm 49 and I know what you mean. And, I've realized how now, it's more important than ever, to just live a healthy life. To eat fresh, nonprocessed foods. To be as active as possible, but to listen to my body. I live in New Hampshire, and love to hike. A few years ago I jumped off a rock and realized that I was 'losing my…
