Yes, i need more veggies :) Yes, a very regular schedule!! I am very routine, but only for a week...I plan my meals in advance, this helps me stay accountable :) And my fat intake has been high this week, was not thought out very well when i bought the nuts! lol

Yes, I'm going to try to get out more....definatley didn't get out at all this winter! I am a sleeper, or so I think! I do toss and turn, but think I still average at least 7 hours, probably closer to 8

YUM! do you have a recipe?

Thank you! Do you puree the veggies right into your pasta sauce?

awesome recipes!! thank you!! i am very intrigued and can't wait to try them!! I love cooking :)

understand the whole allergy thing too!! I was actually thinking that may have an effect on my sluggishness

It's a great tool! I use it all the time :)

I'll have to give these a whirl ~ i love mushrooms!

Good Idea!

spinach is not my favorite (don't hate it, but don't love it), but I am going to start adding some to my scrambled eggs ~ baby steps, lol

Any more recipes for easy ways to get in more veggies??

We had a HORRIBLE winter in the Northeast and it's just starting to get warm (finally!) so I was not outside at all for a while ~ getting out there now and maybe I should drink 8oz a milk a day too

Funny you should say this, I am already planning next weeks meals, and am trying to incorporate more veggies :) This will definatley be a good start until I can get a physical.....Thank you!!

I actually have a pretty stress free life (within the last 4 months) ~ i owned a cafe for 3 years, and closed in December ~ this is where I gained these pesky 30 pounds!! ~ I enjoyed owning the cafe, but it was very stressful also, now I have come full circle and am back at the job that I left, lol....No regrets opening or…

I am 5'8" and currently weigh 181 :( trying to get down to 150ish

your first big step was reaching out on mfp!! that is a big accomplishment and i am sure was very hard..... next step in my opinion is talking with your wife, counselor, a close friend, SOMEONE depression is real ~ i see it daily with a family member nobody should be making fun, and if they do, they don't belong on this…

Thank you, definately will see a doctor first ~

anyone can add me too!! i am 40 something too :) Been back on MFP for about 2 weeks now, on a 9 day streak, lol We can all encourage each other!! Please add me :)

Thank you for your suggestions. My plan will be to keep chugging along, and as soon as my insurance kicks in I will be making an appt for blood work, physical, etc....... Thank you for letting me know about not taking anything at least 2 months prior, never would have thought of it!

when i planned my meal, i wasn't even thinking of Cinco De Mayo ~ but i was had Tex/Mex planned and it was delicious! I especialy LOVE the rice ~ just something different than your average white rice

water is a BIG problem for me, but I'm trying ~ up to 5 (8oz) cups a day ~ and yes, I can get up and stretch, just doing it is another problem (busy at desk, etc)

i have no insurance until August ~ so the doctor may be out till then (unless it was something serious of course!)....... My diary is open if anyone wants to take a peek

MFP has me set at 1400 calories, and i eat those plus whatever i "earn" thru exercise.....I thought my protein was pretty good, morning, afternoon and dinner I am getting protein. I would say i have the most energy about an hour or so after i wake up ~ but then it's to work where i sit all day and by the time i get home i…

They all sound delicious!! love getting new ideas :)

[quote="dearmrsowl;(MFP really makes me think about getting a crock pot/slow cooker soon, all the recipes sound so good and easy!)[/quote] you should, they are great time savers!

i love shrimp, and grilling season has finally hit the Northeast!!

i love turkey burgers! and summer squash, and asparagus, lol.....

i just switched to non-dairy powdered creamer.......and measuring my sugar, which i am down to .5 teaspoon..... It's the little changes!! Great post :)

you look great!! inspiring :)

raw almonds and pistachios, yum :)
