Hello :smile: Sounds like you are about to start a great new chapter in your life...congrats & good luck!! I am a few years older than you but, I live in Boston. It's a wicked cool place to live!! Feel free to add me.

I usually have the munchies when I get home from work. I try to have dinner ready (crockpot) within half an hour of getting home. If I can't wait I will have a glass of cold water. If that still doesn't work I have carrot sticks until it's time to eat. My late night munchies are watermelon and air pop popcorn. Both I keep…

Good for you!! I used to drown my salad in dressing. I used to use way more than a normal serving. But, now I have the dressing on the side & dip my fork into the dressing before going into the salad. Every bite gets some dressing and I save lots of calories. Turns out a little does go a long way.

I have severe eczema as well. I have delt with it from a young age. I def suggest a 'clean' diet ~ it truely helps. Also, for the late night itches oatmeal baths do the trick. Soak in a luke warm oatmeal bath. It's amazing. I have been known to take 2 a night. Also, keep his skin hydrated with fragrance free lotions. Use…

That is just one persons opinion. I personally LOVE PB and couldn't live without it. I have some every day.

I am going to a mexican restaurant this weekend and am trying to plan ahead. My plan is to avoid the chips and salsa. I can't just have one and would prefer to use my calories more wisely. I am going to go for a nice long run in the morning to burn a few extra claories and load up on fruit & veggies during the day. I…

Pork is cooking away in the crockpot. When we get home tonight we will have some nice fresh pulled pork. And, homemade sweet potato fries.

Please feel free to add me for support. I am a working mom of an active one year old. I have learned that the key to a sucessful workout routine is to be flexible and think outside of the box. Also, don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. Every day is different for me because, when you are a mom of a todler you…

You can do it. Get it done & out of the way early. Bonus you earn some extra calories you can eat back durning the day :drinker:

^^^^^^ This is me as well. A very active toddler, a demanding job and a hectic social life with friends & family. I have learned to be flexible with my workout schedule. Please feel free to add me for support :smile:

You look awesome!! Stand tall & be proud!! :smile:

Thank you!! I also tend to eat under my carb goal. I am going to increase my Fiber goal.

I bring left overs from last nights dinner. I also, keep tuna, eggs, pasta on hand for last minute lunches.

^^^^^^^^ This is true for my son as well. I always made his 'baby' food. His day care would tell me that he has the best diet out of all the kids. I think introducing a variety of foods at a young age has encouraged my son to have a healthy diet.

I agree with you. I have a one year old son and he eats what we eat. I have to admit there are some exceptions ~ if I use a spicy marinade/rub on my chix I will cook him a plan piece but, I have him try the spicey one too. My son will pick fruits & veggies over cookies & cupcakes any day. I do know that when he gets older…

Please feel free to add me. I am a mother of a 1yr old handsome son. Finding the perfect balance between family, work and fitness can be hard but, well worth it!! :smile:

Marinate some turkey tips ~ they are the bomb when grilled!! Grill up some fresh seasonal veggies as a nice side dish :smile:

When I run in the mornings. I will have a glass of water before I head out. Once I come back I usually have cereal (cheerios, shredded wheat or oatmeal) and a banana. If I ended up being pressed for time (sometimes I get really into my runs and forget about everything else) I will make a multi grain english muffin with PB…

Faking stats in MFP or faking in bed are only hurting yourself... I have no reason to fake in either case :blushing:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Agree with this. I LOVE my crockpot & use it a couple of times a week. I work long days away from home and wish I had a programable one.

Bahahahaha!!!! :laugh: SO true ~ once you have seen one you have seen them all. They are all the same.

No problem :smile: Hope you enjoy it!!

2 cups cottage cheese 1 cup Light sour cream 1 egg, lightly beaten Garlic powder and pepper to taste 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese 7 ounces cooked pasta Directions Mix the cottage cheese, sour cream, egg, garlic salt and pepper. Add cheddar cheese. Add macaroni and stir until coated. Transfer to a greased baking…

I make baked mac & cheese with it. It's a lighter & healthier version and I swear no one every knows and there is never any left overs. I also, put it in pasta bakes...it melts nice & creamy.

Sorry to hear about your loss :frown: But, on a happier note welcome to MFP :happy: Please feel free to add me for support

Be flexible!! What might work today may not tomorrow. I take advantage of what every few mins I have. Some days it's a morning work out before my son wakes up. Some days it's a evening workout after my son is in bed. Somedays I don't get my workouts in but, it's okay because there is always tomorrow. Weekends I try do…

The Fiber One Brownies are great with coffee and only 90calories. Or there are many granola bars out there for about 100calories.

Welcome!! Feel free to add me. I am also a full time working busy mom. Trying to balance my job, my family, my house and a heathly lifestyle. I have learned that every day is different and sometimes I have to adjust my workout schedule. I try to cook once & eat twice - as in I try to get two meals out of every one that I…

Please feel free to add me. Always looking for other MFP mommies. I am a mother of a very active one year old son :smile:

Personally I love them and eat one a day :smile:
