I haven't received an owl... is it safe to assume i wasn't accepted this term?

My goal for tomorrow (thurs) is to get in some stretching and maybe yoga. Tomorrow is my running off day so i need to be sure to ice my ankle

That being said..... goal today is to drink more water! Need to get back to my gallon a day. Also to be mindful of my portions and get some strength training in after work

@tbolashana i sent you a friend request. I love this motivational thread. Fellow motivators feel free to add me. Could always use the good vibes

My best friend is in Houston but i don't go up as often as i should. @ppuente64 and @CarleeshaShaleace we are neighbors! Are any of you ladies down to meet up and work out?

I'm here, I'm queer, and I'm down to support your fitness journey

Been awhile since i replied to this thread sooo...add me if the urge so strikes you

Thanks guys! I was actually thinking of making vegan cheese at home cuz i found a few recipes for almond cheese that used nutritional yeast for the cheese flavor. Good tip on bob's red mill...they are a reputable company. Still beefing up my label reading skills so this is a good thing for me to practice.

I do A cheat meal once a week and it's pre planned into my weekly meal planning. So do regular white pasta with a cream sauce

I have a couple i do Blueberry: Silken tofu, ground almonds, ground flax seeds, or chia seeds Handful of blueberries Greek yogurt Almond milk until the preferred texture is reached I always add a handful of spinach to all smoothies since I'm anemic You can also add half banana to this and it will be more filling Banana…

Ok. Guess i will do some research. I'm trying to convert some recipes i have

Feel free to add me as well. Fellow shorty wanting to lose weight! Lol

I'm going to add everyone who responded to this thread!

Same here! I don't have many friends on here and the ones i do don't get on as often as they used to

Never thought about freezing jello....good idea!

I usually eat my first meal around lunchtime as well, or brunch time at the earliest. But I can say because of my large water intake I'm not normally hungry. Today was a very unusual day for me. I'm usually under my calorie goal (not by much, but at least a little) and I usually feel quite satisfied. But when I do have off…

LOL I do love me some Wikipedia! But I definitely do not intend to go the fad diet route! The fad-est I'll get is going low carb tehe. I just want to be healthy and eat clean. Congrats on your 30lb loss....that is great!!

This is what I have always heard, but again I do have more research to do as far as fitness. My goal above all is to be healthy, because I figure the weight/fat loss will follow suit. Plus I want to form healthy habits. So often people, especially us women, get so focused on the numbers on the scale that we do anything to…

Hm..I will have to do more research as to meal timing then. My friend also said it depends on what you eat, which makes sense. Thank you for your input. And I am excited to try this protein fluff.

It just does not seem like a good idea to eat late at night and then just go lay down. But I am not a fitness coach so I could be wrong. Oh btw, how much xanthan gum do you put in your protein fluff?

Great point. I am trying not to eat later than 9. After I get adjusted to that, I will make it a goal not to eat later than 8. Thank you for your input.

@mrsincredible44 i actually answered a couple of the questions you asked me in the response right above haha! You have a beautiful family and it is super inspiring to see an active, busy mom making time for fitness. I certainly haven o excuse next to you! You reminded me I need to buy some nuts

Thanks for this advice-rich reply! I indulged with 2 snacks today with the mindframe that I should not wait until I feel ravenous and then binge. I will say my water intake usually has me feeling full, and usually causes me to come under my calorie goal since I am full of liquid lol. I am also really looking forward to my…

@ncfitbit I definitely do not plan my meals! I used to, especially when I was juicing daily, because I would make my juicing packs at the beginning of the week. But I eat pretty consistent, healthy meals still. I think I was just being a fattie today, but I got some great ideas from this post.

@bclarke1990 and @Jaywalker_7 I actually drink a gallon of water a day! I sometimes drink more than that if I've had an active day. I don't want to overdo it with the water consumption though. But you are right Jaywalker I did have to ask myself several times today "okay are your really hungry or are you just being a…

I do eat regularly. I am a night owl, so I will admit I'm often not up in time for breakfast, but I'm trying to get into a regular sleeping pattern. I eat about 1200-1300 calories a day, but not a particular amount per meal.

That actually sounds really yummy! Thanks so much for the advice. I will definitely try that

I love cucumbers and celery with hummus. Celery is so fibrous, it's really filling. I can't wait to go grocery shopping on Friday with these great ideas. Thanks guys!

Well I'm new to MFP so I'm not sick of it :P What is protein fluff though?

Air popped? I must look this up! I do drink a gallon of water a day and I will say that definitely curbs most of my cravings.
