This is a big problem area for me. If its a potluck event or at someones home I always bring a health dish I know I can eat guilt free. If it's out at a restaurtant. I try to stay away from the bread basket (one I start I can NOT stop). I order a side salad with an oil based dressing or a broth based soup. Drink lots of…

I was able to get down to one cup a day by tricking myself...I drink hot water out of my travel mug. When I get to work I have one 8 ounce cup of coffee with one packet of splenda and one teaspoon of powdered cream. It took me a long time to cut back but, I started by just drinking a hot cup of water every time I wanted a…

We do date nights in and we cook a nice home cooked meal. Spread a blanket either in the living room or out doors. We set up candles & have some wine. We sit and talk. If we are inside we dim the lights & put the radio on in the back gorund. This allows us to reconnect in our busy lives. Have fun!!

Maybe sit down & talk to him about it. My husband is a total junk food freak. The unhealthier the better to him...lol!! My husband would eat my healthy dinners but, after dinner he would eat cookies, chips & ice cream because he was starving. Truth was he wasn't starving and his weight started to climb. He realized that…

Shop sales, clip coupons and stock up when you can. I shop at Aldi's and love them. They have allowed me to cute my grocery bill in half. I use frozen veggies because you tend to be able to pick them up pretty cheap (on sale & stuff) they are great alone or part of another dish. I also, keep any left over veggies I have…

Garlic Bread and any kind of warm bread/roll with LOTS of melted butter ~ yummy!! I just keep eating until it's all gone :embarassed:

I am faced with this same problem. Rushed mornings with a toddler and an early morning get out the door time...I often find myself eating breakfast in the car. I fill my travel mug with hot water (for sime reason drinking hot water keeps me from drinking as much coffee) and my portable breakfast are egg sammys (with…

It is hard to balance a family, house, work & social time. I have a one year old. A couple of days a week I wake up at 5am and go out for a jog. A couple of days I work out after my son goes to bed ~ I take out workout DVD's from my local library. This way there is no cost and I always have a variety. A couple of nighs I…

When I was nursing my son I didn't count calories. I ate a blanced and healthy diet. I did low impact workouts. Everyone is different ~ I would talk to your dr in regards to your diet while nursing.

When I start to feel sick I start taking cold-eze. I try to keep doing cardio but, listen to your body. I few months back I got pretty sick, in the begining I was able to keep working out but, once the cold really hit me I was laid up in bed for a few days. My advice to you is listen to your body. And, good luck with your…

I followed the C25K program. I loved it and now I look forward to jogging. It was a battle that I struggled until my treadmill broke. It forced me to follow the program outside. I found that my passion was in jogging outdoors. The fresh air and open space allowed me to clear my mind. After I feel like a million dollars.…

You have a very kind heart. The world would be a much better place if everyone just did one random act of kindness a week (although one a day would be better). I have been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness. It touched my heart with so much joy. I have never forgotten this act and am always doing random acts…

Be flexiable & creative. When the weather is nice I take walks on my lunch break. I wake up at 4:30am to squeeze my runs in before my one year old wakes up. I do workout DVD's (from my local library so I always have a variety) after my son goes to bed. On weekends exercise is a fmaily activity...I take my son for runs with…
