I'm on Doxy now. It is kicking my tush. I am struggling to get anywhere near the calories I should be eating, and I'm failing miserably. It absolutely kills my appetite. I was a bit nauseous last night from lack of calories that I had 2 Hawaiian Rolls. Did the trick.

Weis Markets had a killer deal on pork butt, so I slow cooked pork and sauerkraut with chopped freshly picked apples. That was last night. For lunch I took some of the pork, sauteed it with honey. Chopped some dill garlic pickles, and rolled all ingredients into a warmed corn tortilla, with sriracha. Sweet and spicy. I…

That bread looks like a loaf of scrapple.

If eating sweets is not feasible at the time, sugar free gum or tictac/altoids

Check this out... Put it in a cup or bowl...add some halo top..mix it. The curds freeze and it's a healthy protein filled rice pudding.

it's so crazy how people's bodies react differently. I RARELY eat red meat (mostly because I cook, and my 4 year old doesn't like it so much)... but now that I'm grilling again for summer, I can cook steak AND her food. I had a rib-eye the other night for the first time in over a year, and my goodness it melted in my…

if ever a time to say "both" it's now. My weight loss focus was health, which was directly correlated with losing weight. That being said, BMI doesn't work for me. My legs are big (muscular) and I have wide shoulders which are big. When I wrestled and had very little body fat, my "BMI" was high according to the chart.

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely motivated!! Fran, is it bad now or in the normal range??

Well.. I had the aforementioned physical! Down 40lbs, blood pressure was 118/78. All of my levels from blood work we're normal, but still on the high part of normal. I'm thrilled, but it also gives me motivation to improve my numbers !! I am 10 lbs from my HS wrestling weight. That's another goal. I'm happy but still very…

Do you not think that the average kid, before school, had juice and cereal? And more juice at school?

Kai, in my example..let's say what SOME people may think a healthy breakfast is: Apple Juice (minute maid) 49 G Activia Blueberry Yogurt 19 G Kashi Go Lean Crunch 16 G That's 84 G of sugar, equivalent of 20 teaspoons of sugar. That's before you get DRESSED. I guess my point is, I hope that kids become educated in excess…

all health here. I have my annual physical next Friday and the only numbers I'm excited for are: blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and other blood levels. If the focus is health, the weight will follow suit (or so in my experience).

I'm a firm believer that it's important to read/listen to both points of view. I'm pretty sure that it's obvious that sugar isn't toxic and won't kill you if eaten in moderation. I think it's also obvious that sugar (as with most things) is very dangerous to your health if overdone. And it's VERY easy to over-do sugar. If…

Also, here's an article with research on sugar from what some believe to be an expert doctor. https://www.rt.com/news/319954-sugar-dangerous-children-study/

Watch "The Sugar Film" on Amazon. It's a documentary in the same vein as "super size me". It may help with what your looking for.

You will hear vegans claim that it has growth hormones and it's only meant for mothers milk up to a certain age. No other animal drinks another animals milk. Blah blah

but when I'm LIFTING... I listen to.... https://youtu.be/vu7LCFCYm8Y

so I was on the elliptical today winding down.. awesome workout. And then Marathon by RUSH came into my ears. Live from A Show of Hands. Needless to say, I kicked it up a notch for another 6:35 haha https://youtu.be/Q0C4q0zaXUA

I'm excited to do the run 100% without walking. After the 1mile 15 mark there's a ridiculous hill. I refuse to take the easy way out. I figure when I can conquer the hill RUNNING, I'm on my way!!

Physical on 4/28. Want to be as healthy as possible

I hit a milestone today!! Over 1 mile running without walking. I hit a rhythm where I heard my breathing with my steps and got into a zone. I'm kinda proud.

I figured it won't be much, I'm just trying to be consistent in logging. Whether it's food or any form of exercise. I find that if I don't go all in, I tend to get distracted.

Thanks tea!

more info, please!?
