*Keep extra pet food on hand* Always a good idea to stock up on shelf stable food just in case, been through shelves being empty due to tornados or ice storms before--don't forget your pets need to eat too! I try to keep 60 days of dog food, cat food and chicken feed. Probably too much, but I can always share with friends,…

I get pain in the same part of my heel. Regular, gentle practice of Downward Dog clears it up for me in about 2 weeks.

following this because I want to create a home gym!

The high-protein, low-fat cheesecake recipe lifted from this site and I also like cottage cheese sprinkled with cinnamon. Basically, anything with cheese is comfort food to me!

TINSTAAFC...there is no such thing as a free cookie :D :D :D

I log, but just to have the data. I learn something just by quantifying the ridiculous amount of calories in a four-course meal.

I hear ya, desk jobs are tough on daily activity. As an accountant, I completely understand when you are mentally past the best part of your day so a snack does help. I plan that mid afternoon snack to make sure I have room for it. So here are my office job tips: 1. Set my Fitbit to remind me to move at least 250 steps…

Bonus: If you eat out less often, the "special occasion" feeling from eating out at a restaurant comes back again. Restaurant dining had become boring unless I was at a chef driven establishment. Now that I only eat out 2 or 3 times a month, even Chili's seems special LOL It's like when I was a kid and my parents would…

@cmriverside, I have been logging daily for nearly 1000 days now and I had no idea that users could add green check marks! Thanks!

When I started walking 10,000 steps per day or more I had been pretty sedentary and my feet were pretty soft. After a few months my feet toughened up and now I'm not bothered by blisters anymore. My shoes fit well, and I tried different socks too... even perfect shoes can cause blisters due to a major change in exercise…

I can totally relate. When I took phentermine my mind was preoccupied that I was going to get a phone call saying someone died or something else bad. Very doom and gloom. Throw that stuff away!

Instead of sports bras, try searching for bralettes...very light support.

The woman who always talks about bathroom issues and sex with her husband. Just ugh.

"Again though - the problem isn't the tv/tablet. It's the lying and sneaking to do things he's forbidden to do. Not sure why it isn't clear." Yes this is the problem, not the screens! Unfortunately mama, repeatedly defying your rules is the battle that you must win right away. Charge that hill, stand your ground and do…

Minimum wage $8 is appropriate--if you were the gardening company and you hired an unskilled helper that is what they earn starting out. This leaves you the room to reward quality performance and learning of new skills with a raise that will boost his confidence.

He is using your tools and fuel so he shouldn't get full rate. But no matter what rate you pay him be sure to teach him to save 10% first so he will develop a habit for saving money instead of spending every dollar he earns. Make a big deal about opening a bank account and taking a trip to the bank, let him talk to the…

This is awesome! I don't think the problem with this kid is the fact that he is playing video games. It is the fact that he thinks he is ENTITLED to play them any time he wishes even to his own detriment in school performance. You are ensuring that your children are EARNING their video game time which is a different…

I was very rarely spanked as a young child and only when the situation warranted it and would never consider hitting them back. All of my friends were raised the same way, in a loving home with a very well-known "bright line" that we did not ever cross without knowing BEFOREHAND that there were serious consequences on the…

I know it is out of fashion, but after disobeying of this magnitude and grounding me didn't work, my dad would have sat me down, talked to me about why this was so important that I respect that he has my best interest in mind and then he would have spanked my rear and I would have never done that again. Counseling because…

I'm jealous you did the Camino de Santiago! Very cool!

I love Lindt 90%, very dark and bitter. Delicious

Coffee works better than water for me.

Tortilla chips...and I work for a Mexican restaurant. Sooooo hard to avoid! BUT the biggie for me is premium ice cream. Any brand, any flavor-I don't stop until my face is frozen!

I kept things simple when I started--20 minutes of walking in the morning, 20 minutes of walking on my lunch hour. Breaking it down into smaller increments helped me build a habit of daily movement just like brushing my teeth. I have since added more, changed times depending on the seasons, increased length and intensity…

Ricotta cheese

Lately, I roast 1-2 butternut squashes for the week. I usually eat about 150g for breakfast with sausage or eggs depending on the day. The squash adds a nice sweetness to the balance the savory.

I said to my husband that I couldn't bear to wear them to the office and I would need to go somewhere special to wear them. He told me to quit worrying about that, they were used anyway and I should wear them anywhere I feel like it. So I have worn them twice to work!
