I've totally asked my trainer if he knew about 30DS! LMAO!

I have a Nook for recreational reading. When it comes to texts for work related things, I like to have a physical book so that I can highlight and write things in it. I did that with my fun books too, but I like the convenience of being able to get a book without ordering it online or going to the store. I always read…

Reg: 10 You have beautiful hair!

Yes, David's Bridal! My friend got her dress from David's Bridal for $99. They have a yearly sale, but I cannot recall when it is. Having your wedding and reception at the same place generally saves a bit of dough too.

Some people are really caught up in the whole grand idea of their wedding. Having a sensible wedding I feel, is the best way to start out a marriage. Imagine if those people had saved the 10 grand on their wedding that they spent-- they would have a great little savings started. For a dress, look at bridesmaids dresses.…

When my coworkers tell me I am not eating enough. I am not stupid-- I eat when I'm hungry and I stop when I'm satisfied! It's like believe me, my problem isn't that I'm not eating enough! ;)

Dear Coworker, When you say that 'everyone thinks their a designer' with acid on your tongue, I want you to examine what you do to earn your paycheck. You go online, pull photographs off the web pages of other manufacturers, paste those pictures into Excel, and email it off to China. You don't design ANYTHING! Since when…

Mine is set up so that only my friends can view. I do consider it something very personal. I like when my friends call me out on my bad days, but that's because I trust them to think of my best interest. I don't really trust non-friends to go about it that way, make sense? Also, recently I set my diary to private (it's now…

I like science. And I'm a metalsmith. I hit a lot of metal on a day to day basis. When you hit metal it causes it to work harden (which is when the molecules in the metal get whacked out of alignment). So one must anneal the metal (heat until nearly the melting point) which makes the molecules align properly again, making…

My little brother ALWAYS did the Jello jigglers. If made sugar free, the calories are marginal I think. He also left out carrots for the reindeer. ;)

I love you. --Hubby :)

Haha, sort of close!?! 25... almost 26

25 on the money!

A really smart brain. Physically though? Hair. Gotta have great hair. My husband has it all-- great hair, gorgeous eyes, a lovely *kitten*, and a perfect smile! (And an intensely intelligent brain!)

Nice read, thanks for sharing! I agree with the above poster that packaged/processed foods shouldn't be a habit. I like to stick to naturally gluten free things, but sometimes, I just need a bit of cereal in my life! I think everyone should consider at least TRYING to live gluten free. There are so many issues with wheat…

I've had them in a chia chocolate pudding before. I didn't really... love... it, per se. It was alright though. www.foodgawker.com Put into the search chia, and it will bring up a lot of results for recipes that use chia seeds!

OMGosh, screw the cornflakes-- you wanna know what would be an AWESOME crust for this?! A gingersnap crust! 1 1/4 cups gluten free gingersnap cookie crumbs 5 tbsp. melted butter Nom nom nom nom! I am totally going to try this! Thanks for the recipe!

I understand completely. It is difficult when the people who don't understand are your family. You sort of expect it from your coworkers and even friends once in awhile. I am sorry you got so sick-- it's terrible, and I've been there before. Maybe it is to a point where you do need to bring your food with you. As…

Another great thing to try is a cauliflower crust. 1 cup raw grated cauliflower 1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg sub.) 1/2 cup Parmesan 1/4 cup shredded mozzerella Garlic salt and Italian seasonings, to taste Preheat to 350. Grate the Cauliflower-- it should look like grains of rice. Mix together with the other ingredients listed.…

In fact.. I just made some GF cookies last night! These are not low cal/low fat. I don't see the point... they are COOKIES afterall, and I don't eat a lot of them, nor am I trying to-- and I only make them once a year! Gluten Free Russian Tea Cakes 1 cup butter, room temp 3/4 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup almond meal 1 1/4 cup…

If you are truly interested in how wheat affects your health, I suggest reading the book Wheat Belly. I do not consume wheat for reasons other than weight loss, which is mainly what this book is geared towards, but it is EXTREMELY informative on how it affects every system in your body. You can check out their blog here:…

True. Logically, it is true. It has been shown that purchasing fresh produce is far more expensive than buying processed crap. You can eat 300 calories worth of CRAP a whole lot quicker than you eat 300 calories worth of produce. By this you can infer that it would require MORE unprocessed foods to consume that same amount…

I would suggest checking into Keen's. I have a pair. They are extremely durable, waterproof, and warm. http://www.keenfootwear.com/us/en/wall/shoes/women I have the 'Betty Boot'

A block of cheese. Outcome: I die happy.
