Salmon Sashimi Raspberries Soybeans (roasted, or steamed)

Yay to you Pam!.. Keep rock'in it! Hubby is deployed for a year (returning April '10). What sucks the most, is that although we had been friends for a couple of years before dating, we lived together for 9 months before we were married (last March) just before he deployed. So, no honeymoon, no down time..... hopefully we…

Sorry to hear about the illness/antibiotic fiasco, Mary. I hope you are feeling better for your adventure~ Smadag, I am horrible about taking a mv..... so, no... I can't recommend one. I have taken the liquid ones on the past, but I never stick with it... Contragts Memaw!!!! I was really hoping Iwould be lower than my…

Well, 1.9 liters a day is recommended for people who are NOT working out. Depending on hom much you are working out, how much you sweat and what the surrounding temp is, you could still be shy of your need (although not by much I imagine) I take in about half a liter more a day than you, and there are times that i am…

Congratulations Anthrochix and msh0530 for your successes!! I'm in the same boat with you, memaw.... I just avoind the hearache entirely, by avoiding the scale. I am hoping to be done with that "visitor" tomorrow, so I'll venture onto the scale Friday morning. Because of my TOM, I haven't done anything at 3 am with the…

I am all for that, Smadag1!!! With my DH deployed, I hug a pillow.... or my dog.... and she just looks at me funny! You are lucky! And if he opens his mouth to give you grief about anything, just slap on some duct tape on his mouth, and keep hugging! Hey Pam! Where are you staying in LV? What are your plans on exercise…

Is there some wierd vibe with out string? I only got a 20 min cardio workout followed by 20 mins of weights (back) yesterday... and boy, was it a chore!!! Usually i can kock out 45 cardio, 30 weights and another 10 min of core training......LOL!!! I wasn't even up to my usual 3am 3-4 mile walk/jog with the pooch this…

Good morning! I stayed on track this weekend (foodwise) but I took the moose to the dogpark instead of going to the gym yesterday. I am feeling better today.. one more week, and my brother and I are off to Las Vegas for 4 days. I think I have to pay to use the hotel gym, but oh well.... i'll bite the bullet and just do it!…

I wish I had help on that one! i cook a weeks worth of turkey cutlets (for my diner salads) one night a week... and I dread the clean-up!

Sushi is my favorite food.... hands down! But I also admit that I am a sashimi gal. which if ordering just the fish (not nigiri, which is the piece of fish sitting over the palm size mound of rice). If the group I am with orders a roll, I will indulge 1 piece of it, but not if it has mayo. the rice is a no-no enough for…

Morning Mary & Pam, Well I did yoga for 20 mins this morning, ran out to watch Harry Potter and then walked over to my gym (how convenient) and did 45 of intense cardio on the bike. I still need to do core work, but I ran home, hoping I could catch my deployed hubby online..... unfortunately, I was unsucessful. Now i am…

You will usually find it near the beans, although I get it in bulk stores, like Whole Foods or Sun Harvest. And i cook it in low sodium vegetable broth for extra flavor... in fact, that is how I cook my lentils AND brown rice if I use it (which is almot never, lol) I also like to dice up an onion, bell pepper (red and…

Heck, there is always room for the "No-team Team" !!! Although I"belong to" a team, I still read and post to teams... there it no official rules to the tema, they just form as a group pf people work towards a common goal or have similar obsicles to overcome. More than once, I have tried to find people on mfp who were in my…

Although I love the taste of brown rice, I just stear clear of it all together. I use quinoa or lentils to substitute for rice (quinoa is considered to be a "super food" and is a grain seed and lentils are high in fiber) With the occasional sushi rice as the exception, I just don't eat it. And even when I go to have my…

Count it as fiber and rejoice! haha

You are a ROCK STAR!!! I am having a crappy week! I am supposed to start my TOM and haven't (stress) but I am cramping, constipated and up 2.5 lbs!!! I know, I know... it will go away afet the TOM.. but sheesh! I have moved from 1.9 miles 4 mornings last week (with the moose/dog) to a 2.6 mile loop 2 mornings this week.…

LS, Are you journaling your food? From what you told us here, it looks like you may be under your calorie intake. Your body may have moved into starvation mode, and is holding on to calories, believeing that it will not bet more intake as needed. Before joining mpf, i lost significant weight (over 100). if you want to have…

After many years of watching my food intake, I no longer scrutinize my sugar intake, as I always average about 17 g of sugar per day. That said, I usually eat no more than 2 fruits per week, as I know that my body loves to hang on to calories derived from carbs. Although I do not eat to consitute a "low carb" diet, I…

Although you will be on medication for the rest of your life, with weight loss, your synthroid dosage may be reduced. I have had to cut my dosage by 75% since I lost 100 lbs. It isn't great news, but it is news. And you must keep within your tsh limits, because the side effects of low TSH levels can be harmful to your…

I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks, The meals average out to 250 each and the snacks about 200

I was diagnosed at 13, although it was not a surprise, as my mother was diagnosed at the same age. There are a handful of symptoms that accompany the imbalance of TSH levels. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I will say, it is harder, although not impossible, to lose weight when you have…

I walk 4-5 mornings a week with my dog, walking or jog/walking 2.5-3 miles and maintaining a 4 mph pace..... in the tx humidity, so yes, I sweat A LOT! lol Although I don't know if I sweat "more" than when I go to the gym in the afternoons. I do not eat before my morning walks, though.... just rollout of bed, dress, grab…

Well, welcome back SG!!! You are in the right mindset, and you can suceed! Ileana

Good morning all! Well, I got up at 3 this morning and took my moose (my 72lb dog) out for a jog / run. 2.5 miles, in fact and we did it in 30 minutes. I was able to jog about 75% of the first mile, and a minute on the way back, but the humidity was horrible, I was sweating like a beast and the moose was about the step on…

go for a walk...... that is what my husband did when he was going through the same thing. he would go outside and walk around the building once, then go back in~ Good luck! You can do this!!

Do you have an office with a door? I have been known to close my door, kick off my heels and to push-ups and planks.

yup, pretty much! i like to cut it into cutlets, marinate them in a citrus base (my seasonings change every time, but the marinade alwasy has lemon juice and lemon, lime and sometime orange zest in it) I make cutlets almost every week. I grill them on a indoor grill (you know, the forman-like grills) and store. I then…

I am usually in the 300 range, as it is my lightest of the 3 main meals.... (the 2 snaks are usually about 150)

Ok, so I spent 10 minutes wondering the same thing..... then spent 45, trying to figure out how to attach my lawnmower engin to my shwinn road bicycle so I can be as badass as Maximus!

And a bright Thursday to you all! I got up at 5, went to the gym and rode hills on the bike for 45 minutes, and jogged on the treadmill for another 15 minutes. I had to take my brother to the doc for oral surgery, and intended to go back to do weights while he was under sedation... but they wouldn't let me! So now I have…
