Claritin for me, but I still need the Kleenex. It is worse when I exercise outside, so mine might not be as severe as yours is.

I run in the rain, but not bad winds. That is only because the trail I run on is highly forested and there are lots of dead trees that tend to fall in high winds. I'm sure I'd have my little pink ipod on and never hear the tree coming when it hit me...:laugh:

Look at the ingredients and if it has Guarana seed in it, be careful!!! Makes you jittery and makes your heart beat fast. Some folks are not as sensitive to it, but it made me ill and lots of those kind of diet pills have that in them.

Exactly - it's like Slim Fast but at least twice the money!

NO! Not in my book anyway. Exercise should be enjoyable. Just be sure you are pushing yourself. Maybe mix up parts of the program with your days that you run. I did that with P90X with the cardio part, because I love spinning classes. I don't think substituting a different exercise is bad, as long as you are getting a…

At least they HAD food on the plan. My brain does not equate a shake with a meal. No chewing = no food. to my psyche.

I have been following "Clean Eating" for a couple of weeks now. There are no products to buy, she just tells you what foods are healthy and which are not and emphasizes exercise and choosing things that are not processed. It is probably the most common sense plan I have ever read, plus the fact that she is not selling…

Oh yeah, I forgot - BEER. And not the light beer either. More like 200-calorie-a-bottle IPAs.

DQ Blizzard - chocolate extreme. Not a small size, either!

Very nice thought for the day! Thanks for posting!

I am a Facebooker - where's the "Like" button on here??? :smile:

If you have time, turkey chili in the crock pot, easy, healthy and delicious! Plus you can make enough to have leftovers for a couple of lunches.

Listen to your body. If it is making you sick, don't do it. Even if it works for others, YOUR body may not like it.

Nice job!!! :flowerforyou:

Ha ha, nice!

Thanks for posting this! :smile:

Cool! :smile:

Chicken breasts - I cook some up every Sunday so I can use them in salads or in meals. Egg whites in the carton, oatmeal (rolled oats, the kind you slow cook without sugar), bag of baby spinach to sautee in garlic and olive oil for breakfast, lunch or dinner, cherry tomatoes, bananas, apples, mandarin easy-to-peel…

I have started using Silk creamer for my coffee. Low in sugar and no saturated fat.

Amen!

Sugar is in many things we don't realize. It has made me re-think many foods I will/won't eat. It does depend on my aerobic activity for the day though. I don't feel bad having a glass of milk if I'm going to run for an hour, because I will burn right through any sugar. I have eliminated processed sugar (junk food stuff),…

WOW! Way to go!

Basic, standard push up. I could only do on my knees. Now I can do about 15 before I need to drop to my knees.

8 hours. I go to bed around 8:30 PM and get up at 4:45 AM. If I didn't get my full 8 hours on a regular basis, I am sure I would have no friends, because when I get less than 8 hours I am GRUUUUMPY! :laugh:

You have to decide which is more important - the beer and chips, or the weight coming off. I am struggling a bit myself these days (for different reasons - my hubs actually eats pretty healthy). I have learned that for some people, they can kind let loose now and then, but I just cannot. It helps to all be on the same…

Agreed, I am ready to feel "light" again. My son finished off the last of the leftovers. Thank goodness!

29 pounds is awesome - congratulations! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :smile:

See, that is part of my problem. I'd eat the chocolate AND drink the wine! :drinker:

I wear Skullcandy because we have a ton of both the ear bud kind and the headphone kind. My son used to date the daughter of the guy who is the distributor for Skullcandy to Amazon, so she would give them to us for free. The ear bud kind really seem to block out ALL outside noise, which is kind of scary when I am near…

"Crock Pot Lasagna" - I made it with ground turkey, whole wheat noodles, and fat free cottage cheese. Yum!
