The best thing I ever did was to go on a vegan cleanse for 11 days. The one I used was called Standard Process, but you really don’t need to go buy that stuff... I just ate raw fruits and raw veggies and drank water for 11 days NOTHING ELSE. I was able to quit smoking by the third day and hadn’t intended to... You REALLY…

No soy for me unless it’s fermented like soy sauce. I drink Organic Whole Raw Cow’s milk and I’m lactose intolerant but only if I drink pasteurized/ homogenized milk . Never a problem drinking it raw.

slice the squash into discs... dip in beaten egg cover with finely crushed saltine crackers ( I put mine in the food processor) fry in oil about a half inch deep until beautiful brown. I can’t make this recipe anymore because it is so delicious I end up eating the whole plateful.

It’s not at all. At least for me it wasn’t . I was in a head on collision with a dump truck and my head went through the windshield so, as you can imagine, my neck and back were throughly fubar’d . When he adjusts you it’s like you hear a “pop” or “crack” and then instant relief. Sometimes I over do it when I exercise just…

absolutely, Trust me.. you’ll feel like a million bucks when he’s done cracking’ your bones from the neck down to your hips... it’s wonderful.

Have you ever had sausage gravy? It’s a white ‘country gravy’ with chunks of sausage in it and OH SO GOOD!!! But, make sure you get it from someone from the deep south... the rest are just posers. There is also red eye gravy made with pan drippings and coffee... but you have to find a southerner to fix it for ya. :)

Chiropractor... I love mine. I go to him once a week now. What you have is called a subluxation. The Chiropractor can fix it fast.

You know, I think you’re more beautiful without make up. Really.

That’s freakin’ hilarious!

I may need therapy now too! :)

The weirdest thing I witnessed at the gym was a woman on a treadmill in high heeled sneakers...no kidding. And I thought I was weird so, I took my bag of candy and left in a huff.

LMAO!! I used to take a bag of Starburst candies with me to the gym and eat them while I was on the treadmill. This was when my husband forced me to go with him and I wasn’t interested in getting healthy! Just a bit passive aggressive maybe? LOL

Wonderful!!

I started doing this about a year ago and I no longer need to wear makeup . My skin is so nice I just use eyeliner and mascara nothing else.

I’m an American and I met my British-Canadian husband while he was living in Brantford, Ontario. Long story short...I lived with him there for 6 months and became addicted to Tim Horton’s Coffee and Tetley’s Black Currant tea... both of which I order online and have delivered to me.... Oh yes and the Poutine, My…

I bet that feels GOOD!! Way to go!

Please do, Macka123. Good Luck!

Thanks, Joelle... I’m actually getting better with the control part...that includes sushi and pizza. I guess it all comes with making better choices the rest of the time. I notice that I just can’t pack it away like I did even two weeks ago! Our sushi bill has gone down considerably.

No kidding? I am on low carb ( I guess) no refined sugars, no refined flours, I eat Ezekiel bread occasionally, no potatoes, no rice. Hmm, tell me more of the carb buzz/ rage because usually I just get extra sleepy .. Kinda like Kevin James after he eats a Whopper....

You’re absolutely right, Chevy88grl... portion control is key. @Trisharrell... I like what you said “it is a marathon not a sprint”

I just realized that tomorrow will be the first time I log what I eat on my free day in my food diary. This changes things. Now I don’t feel I can eat whatever I choose with wild abandon... Damn you, Food Diary... damn you, Accountability!

LOL! I can’t eat what I want when I want it....that’s how I got here. My free meal gives me something to work hard for... if I have that one meal to look forward to as a reward for busting my butt with exercise and staying under calories everyday it makes it easier for me. I eat really healthy the rest of the week and…

ROFLMAO! typical.

I also stay the heck away from Truvia because it’s not all natural and it has a funny after taste so I use the organic kind you can find at Whole Foods or Lassen’s I think it’s called Sweet leaf... Splenda is poison!

Thanks, didn’t know that.

Thank you! I guess I never gave the caffeine a second thought because I’m one of those weird people who can drink a Grande Caramel Frappacino with 4 extra espresso shots and then go to bed and sleep like a baby. I obviously don’t drink that anymore because of the calories... but I used to work in healthcare.

I think you’re right! I love water but I need something else with a little flavor and sweetness... I don’t crave pop/ soda the carbonation actually burns my mouth now.

Is that why people do that??!! The things you learn!

Bikers... My hubby has a crotch rocket and when he’s decked out in all that black leather.... mmmm, just makes things hum, if you know what I mean.
