Thanks so much! I feel more energetic and youthful as well. It's kind of hard to believe that I am middle aged. How did that happen? And things are looking up! I was offered a dream job yesterday!

LOVE the pictures! You are all looking amazing!

Thanks! I feel younger!

Thanks! I just wanted to say that people should not get discouraged or give up. Keep on doing your thing and results will eventually show up, even if it isn't a number on the scale, you are still healthier than when you started.

Sorry you didn't like it. it's nothing like seaweed salad, more just the seaweed wrapped around the sushi rolls. My 4 year old and I devour these.

Thanks! The physical appearance progress has been amazing too. I didn't want to downplay that.

I recentrly adopted Jesse a 2 year old lab/chow mix. She has decided she is my personal trainer. Every day requires a minimum 1 mile walk (even in the rain). Most days require a 3 mile run. We also have Eli, the 14 year old Italian Greyhound, and a 9 year old Shiba Inu, named GinGin. They both LOVE the daily exercise, but…

Thank you!

I ate a boatload of cruddy food at a wedding on monday. I was too sick Monday night and Tuesday to notice being hungry. I did notice the place served every one of the costco's finger foods. Spanakopita, Quiches, Pigs in Blankets. My poor stomach.

Thanks!

So, will you look great again? With some work, yes! I have had 3 kids. All weighed in at 9 lb 12 oz, 10 lb 1 oz, and 9 lb 12 oz. My stomach is so stretched out that not much can be done for it. On top of it, I have diastasis recti, where the stomach muscles did not come back together after the kids were born. I was a size…

That's awesome!!! Congrats!

I ended up grabbing my Orgain shake out of my purse and that was plenty. I almost caved to a slice of pizza with eggplant, tomato, broccoli and fresh mozzarella cheese. However, that's when the 4 yr old howled for a potty and that was it.

So, I handed them over today. They had them in the afternoon. They all got one and everyone LOVED them. The teachers had some too. There were 6 left and they all had M&M's on them. When I asked the teacher if the kids didn't like the M&M ones, she said they didn't give those to the kids because they were afraid the kids…

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who offered support. I was shocked by the initial responses to say the least. So, I really appreciate those of you who took the time to say something positive.

I got the idea one day when I took the kids to the zoo. I have a deluxe membership that allows me to bring in visitors with me. There was a line to get in and a line for the tickets. There were two moms with 3 kids in a wagon who accidentally got into the wrong line. We were a few feet from the entrance when they figured…

Thanks all! I grew up in Ukraine and came to the US when I was 13. In Ukraine, everything is homemade by necessity. I went insane for cheeseburgers and fries here. Took me a while to get them out of my system. A good friend of mine grew up in a super-religious household with no booze allowed. I have never seen someone…

Paleo, are you kidding me? It's a birthday treat. I feed my kids fruit, veggies, lean meats and whole grains. But I am not a mean enough mom to not allow delicious treats for birthdays. That's why it's called a treat, not a food. Yesterday, for his birthday party, they had cake and they had strawberries and blueberries at…

Anyone?

Thanks! She's actually starting to look less roly poly and more in shape.

Sounds yummy.

When I used to run with my rottweiler/golden mix years and years ago (he's been gone 7 years), a poodle ran over and bit him on the side of the face and would not let go. My dog was swinging his head wildly trying to get the dog off his face, but he had an iron grip. I tried yanking him off and could not budge him. The…

My parents have a pit/lab named Sheba. We just adopted a lab/sharpei that we brought up from a high kill shelter in Georgia. Named her Jesse. Sheba is staying with us for 2 weeks while my parents are in Europe. This is Jesse playing keep away with a ball, Sheba is chasing her: This is what Sheba is doing now...

Yup, it's their Amazon Mother's Day commercial from last night.

Non scale victory :)

I love love love my Polar FT7! I used it today to test out the accuracy of my new elliptical trainer machine. The elliptical display was off by over 100 calories, but I did not stop long enough to see if I can input my weight and such, so that's understandable. However, the MFP option for Elliptical Trainer was spot on…

This is by no means an everyday activity for me. My back is killing me and I need a shower in the worst way. My activity level is set to sedentary. Maybe I will log half. I still have cleaning to do. We'll see how it goes. I wasn't going to go crazy at seder anyway food-wise, just hate the idea of going over when I have…
