Also remember the things you have done right. I passed up Burger King, Pizza Hut. So I bought a bag of M&M's--I will make sure I have apples and almonds on hand tomorrow. As previously stated, note what you did and how you will not do it or do it differently tomorrow. Every day is a fresh start! Good Luck!

I love working with my trainer. He watches posture/technique and pushes me beyond what I think is my limit yet somehow knows when not to push me too far. He also provides enough variations to keep from becoming boring. I have taken to journalling each session to prepare workouts on my own. He also gives feedback on…

Definitely portion control, sampling a little of everything; a pre-meal workout--thank you trainer for offering! I'll save the "second helping" for another meal!

I have the same problem with getting light-headed if I only eat cereal. Must eat some protein and maybe a piece of fruit to get some quick and long-lasting energy. (So my trainer told me :) ). So far this has helped.

It may be your carbs are set too high--and the type of carbs matter too. My trainer has been harping me on that because I'm at a plateau that is hard to get past.

Belly dance (or more appropriately Raks Sharki)--not Shakira :(. True Belly dance will certainly work those hips! Been doing it for 4 years now!

I've had asthma since childhood--runs in the family. Symbacort didn't work for me. I was on Advair and developed heart-palpitations--took awhile to figure what the heck was happening to me! Now I'm on Accolate and a steroid inhaler--but very low dose--along with antihistamine, fish oil and glucosamine. I seem to be…

That was just awesome!

O, I feel the love! Thanks all of you!

Wow! Thanks guys! The walk started around 9:11am and there were about 250-300 people to start. We finished around 6 pm. There were several planned short water breaks about every 5 miles or so. This was something I definitely will try again--only with better fitting shoes!!! I don't think any of my friends really thought…

...humus and veggies!

Like you, I'm trying to cut out carbs. I know what not to eat, but what to eat instead? I can't have eggs for breakfast every morning! UGH! :grumble:
