Many moons ago when I was married, my ex and I had an argument about how to fold towels.... He was of coarse wrong, and realized it, but it was too late. He made a mountain out of a mole hill, then felt bad :wink:

pretty much, what you see/hear/read is what you get on or offline.

I typically do a clean-out once a month.... mostly if I find someone is frequrently inactive for long periods of time, or we don't have much by way of interaction. But I also try to keep my FL small and very manageable.

I have the same issue... I will down a glass of water, take a brisk walk around the parking lot, and if I still want (not necessarily need) something to snack on then I will get either some honey roasted peanuts or fruit.

Playful and fun!

Actually yes. You may have to do some research on different fits/styles that will best suit the new curves, but it is a VERY good thing. If you start to feel really uncomfortable, please make sure you talk to your therapist. A healthy outlook is just as important as the healthy physical body. Congratulations on your…

it is definitely not you that is the issue... and I agree iwth endlessloser, if you can't agree on a dinner place, then maybe see if you can do something else.

I'm going to point you to the Eat, Train, Progress Group. Sara and Sidesteel are amazing. The link below is the basics as Sara lays out, and they are spot on. Take the time to really read and absorb the information, read through the links in there.... It is definitely worth the time. They have made a huge difference for…

I was just diagnosed last week myself.... the pain for me is in my heels. First thing in the morning is the worst! My Dr suggested inserts, and athletic shoes along with a series of exercises.

I lost my beloved 15 year old Jack Russel last week to cancer. I know exactly how devastating it can be.... On the other hand I cannot imagine losing that many animals within the same year! I am so sorry for these losses. The one thing that has helped me this week is the fact I know Lucy is happily playing with her love,…

So far not a fan, but I suppose it will take time to get used to.:(

I am so sorry about your dad. That is one of those life things that is the most difficult to face! {hugs} As far as is it a bad time, only you can answer that question. There is always going to be a reason to start tomorrow instead of starting today. Remember tomorrow never comes.... tomorrow there will always be another…

A friend of mine brings the fixings for a salad at the beginning of each work week. Do you have a fridge where you could do something like that as well?

this sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Well I know I do exactly the opposite of what the diet suggests.... I plan all of my sides around the meat. So I think this weekend I am going to spend some time looking up healthy veggie and fruit recipes and plan my meat around those things. Thank you all for your thoughts and experience.

The next road over is an older woman that just retired last year. She has decided her new job is to be the caretaker of all the wild cats in our neighborhood..... She has created a cooler city for the cats in her front yard (have ya ever heard of taking the styrafoam coolers, turn them upside down, cut a door out, and then…

I love them as a side for Pork Chops. Peel and cube 2-3 apples (depending on how many people are eating), put them in a non-stick skillet, add 1.5-2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp sugar, then just let them cook on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. No need for butter or anything else.... The cinnamon sugar carmalizes nicely and…

I plan my day around that meal. Go to the website and look at their menu, make decisions based off of that. If possible fit a little extra exercise in during the day as well.

Non-alcoholic - Coffee all the way Alcoholic - Vodka with a splash of OJ, Pineapple and sprite. Yum!

I prefer to watch entire seasons at one time, so I typically wait until Netflix or Amazon Prime puts the seasons out. Currently I'm in heaven with all the new seasons coming out for Bones The New Girl How I Met Your Mother Waiting for Vampire Diaries :wink: There is 1 exception.... Walking Dead! I watch that show with my…

Thank you both.... I already eliminated processed foods and am not much of a salt person. I'm going to work on adding at least 1 fruit and 1 veggie to each meal over what I already eat.

Sweet BBQ Pulled Pork Put 1 package of pork tenderloin in the crock Cover with root beer Let cook on low/med (depending on how your crock cooks) about 6-8 hours. Drain half of the juice, add your fav BBQ sauce. Simple, fun and the kids love it. Beef Veggie Soup Either short beef short ribs or stew beef (brown quickly in…

As I was clicking to enter this thread, this is exactly what I was thinking! SideSteel and Sara are just the best!

Pizza, oreo cookies with a glass of milk, and cheesecake. I still have each of these, but now it's in moderation.... but there are times when I get a really good cheesy pizza I want to just sit and eat the entire thing!

I tend to be straight forward and if it's not there, it's just not there, and I would tell them that.

I read your first thread a week or so ago, and now this one. In all honesty, it sounds like you are trying to find something wrong.... You need to stop and think are the issues really him, or are they you. Take a little time apart, stop going over to his house all the time and spend time at your house. Take some time to…

For the sodium, drinking lots of water will not necessarily negate the bad parts of having too much sodium.... if you drink too much water, you could in fact be causing some of the good nutrients to flush out of your system as well, and again, with a LCD your nurtrients are not at the best levels to begin with. I'm…

In all honesty, I understand the fear of increasing your calories.... and if your MD is telling you what he see's is fine then maybe the diet is ok. But wait.... when I actually stop and look at your diet (at least the days you have completely filled out - and yes, I'm guilty of this too, busy schedule and all) I see a lot…

Typically I spend Sunday planning, shopping and cooking for the week. I do a lot of quick easy meals that can be cooked and frozen, or marinated and frozen. I also do a lot of easy crock pot meals.
