Great question!! I have been making green smoothies in the morning and just from that I'm over my sugar for the day. Ingredients are avocado, spinach, 1 cup frozen fruit and 1/2 tsp agave nectar.

Inspiring!!!

chicken, veggie and wild rice soup and 2 oz of chicken breast.

I love their brushetta, organic milk, organic fugi apples, pistashios, frozen pepper blend, frozen mango's, and the seasoning blend that's unique to Joe's. Can't remember the name......

I'm new to the green smoothie thing but start this morning with my first. 1/2 avocado 1 cup spinach 1/4 cup water 1 cup mixed frozen fruit (mango, pinnapple, strawberry, peaches) 1/2 tbs agave It's pretty tasty!!

Eggs, cottage cheese, lean meats, vegetables, beans, hummus are staples for me. Cottage cheese and shrimp Cooked brocolli with wedge of light laughing cow cheese hummus and pretzles Eggs + plain instant grits almost every morning (low calorie, high protein)

Some shopping/errands then back to work. :(

No I haven't. I was using "high impact aerobics" for plyo and just adding a random number in for the rest of the week. Sooo cheating!!! I ended up ordering a HRM this week so I can be more acurate. I hated to spend the $$ but I'll be able to use it for all my excercise as I tend to do the treadmill the days I can't make it…

Ooohhh that's a quick turn around 4:30 to 5am! Hopefully it went well for you. This is tecnically my 3rd session but I was very sporatic the 2nd session with the holidays. I think they do a very good job of easing people into the intensity. I remember feeling the same way....."didn't feel like I was going to die like I…

As others have mentioned life has a way of not going to plan. MFP is something that YOU have control of....if other things are not going as planned you can make this one area that you can control. Are we going to eat perfect every day....no and we all miss days of exercising but you have to treat each day as a new one and…

Yeay!! How did day 2 go? Ours was plyo Monday, upper body/abs Tuesday. Is this your first session or are you an alumni?

Also the prce that our environment is taking to our nations hunger for inexpensive meat!? I feel that until we as consumers find a balance of meat based protein and vegetable based protein in our diets the factory farms will not shrink but will continue to grow until something gives and it forces the consumers to change…

No I typically don't. Maybe I should be though......

I sometimes will make egg muffins in cupcake tin. I'll have to look up the recipe but it's basically eggs/veggies and maybe hashbrowns in a cupcake tin. Bake then freeze. Reheat as needed.

1200 and I can usually stay at that but I tend to go over on my carbs, fat and not get nearly enough protein. I need some new snacks!

Just the question I was wondering about too!! I was looking at the FT4 vs FT7....

Were you walking before December too? If you are gaining muscle from increased exercise and loosing fat you may gain a few lbs. I worked out for 8 weeks prior to the holidays and gained 3 lbs but lost 4 inches from my waist. I hated that scale but my clothes fit better.

Instant grits mixed with a microwaved egg. :)

I made a lentil shepards pie tonight for dinner that was fabulous for the whole family. The potatoes up the carbs but you could cut back on those a bit and just have a small layer of them.

Annual HHI trip in June!!!! I've got a ways to go though....

I am a Kosama fan. They have locations all around Des Moines area and starting to expand to other states. Group fitness/class is the style 6-1hr classes a week with each day being unique to that week. (plyo, upper, kickboxing, kettlebell, lower, yoga)

Fabulous ideas!! I will pick some up

I workout at Kosama daily but would like to start adding some running to my week. Prefer outside (layer, layer, layer) but have the deadmill if it drops below 15 degrees.

Hi there! What Kosama location are you going to? I am at the Ankeny location and just started my 2nd 8 week session. Welcome!!
