Why else would you go back and exercise again?! I was on such a high Monday, had the best run ever and was seriously smiling most of the day. Felt like I could take on the world!

What has the doctor said that you need to prove wrong? Pam

My son likes Udi's without toasting. I can't handle rice, so I make my own buckwheat buns. Pam

I am vegetarian, completely grain free, dairy free, and some allergies. If you want to friend me, you will be able to see my diary. I can provide recipes for what you are interested in! Pam

I also use just the pure stevia liquid extract. I don't want a bunch of fillers. So I only use a few drops at a time.

I have been using the meal planning on BigOven.com. Generates a shopping list and everything. I am gradually learning how much to make in a week, because there are leftovers that needs to be eaten up too! Pam

If you are drinking protein shakes, then mow about mixing some psyllium husks or ground flaxseed in with the shake? Berries are also very high in protein, and you could blend those into a shake for something that tastes awesome instead of pasty. Personally, I don't get too much protein, and do get tons of fibre, but still…

What??? How about if you convert lead into gold, what does it weigh then?

In what kind of recipes? It sounds like you are trying to replace egg dishes, rather than asking for an egg replacer for baking. Which is it? Pam

Thank you!!! This drives me crazy! Pam

There are so many great things you can make to eat. I am vegetarian, completely grain free, dairy free, and allergies, and I still have to count calories to make sure I don't overeat! Pam

LOL. I like your bear food diet. For what it's worth, yes, people with plant based diets often have their diets belittled with the term "rabbit food". It is not intended to mean that you eat a wide variety of tasty plant-based foods, but rather that all you eat is lettuce and carrots. How boring and gross. It is said in…

Wasn't it supposed to provoke a reaction from the rabbit food eaters? My rabbits ate fruits and veggies, but not tofu or beans or almond milk or anything like that. I eat so much more than just rabbit food! And I don't really like hay or pellets . . . maybe I just never found the right recipe. Pam

No to yoghurt, walnuts, almonds, oat, due to allergies. I don't eat spinach daily, but some kind of greens. The rest are pretty close to daily. Pam

No, sounds maybe like tibias anterior tendon. Take a look at some of the foot diagrams on Google Images and see what you think: http://www.google.ca/search?q=foot+diagram+tendons&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=tJYpT62rAa2v0AHT9dzZAg&ved=0CDoQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=935 I hurt this one running because of my…

I run on my own M-W-F and run with my hubby on Sa. Other times we walk together. But on a holiday Monday, we have to negotiate. Do I get to go for my run by myself (he is much slower than I am), do we go for a run together Sa and M? Do I go for my long run on Sa by myself? Oh, and on Sa, we negotiate how long we are…

My husband's mother nurtures with food, so she has a really hard time seeing him lose weight. Is he calling her bad for making him overweight? Is he calling her food bad because he won't eat that kind of food any more? Is that evil wife of his trying to turn him against her? She says he looks good, and she's proud of him,…

What’s normal? Of course you are right that if you want to lose weight, you need to restrict calories, not necessarily change the foods that you are eating. Within the parameters described – going from obese to a healthy weight – this is going to have a huge impact on improving your health. For others who are closer to…

Perfect! Good for you! Pam

WHY don't you use measuring devices? Are they against your religion? You live in a cardboard box? You are morally offended by them? :tongue: Everybody I know at least has a set of measuring cups. You don't have any? If you have a single drinking cup, maybe you could go to someone's house a measure a half cup, a cup, etc.…

Yup. My kid hates it when I exercise. He bugs the heck out of me and wants all kinds of attention. Always has, even when he was a toddler and I would do yoga and he would try to climb on top of me. Tough. He will have to suffer through being neglected for a half hour at a time while his mother models healthy behaviour. And…

They probably have a few (hundred) more calories than cucumber. Maybe make a plate for yourself of cucumber, celery, baby tomatoes, and crackers to have with the hummus, so that the crackers are in a smaller portion but you can still be satisfied.

I am not just restricting calories, but have other dietary issues as well, and like you, I am looking for the fruits and veggies and healthy foods when I eat, whether it is at someone else's house, or on my own. As others have suggested, make sure that you have snacks for yourself in your purse/diaper bag/glove box.…

The cheapest possible solution for me is $60/mo. And of course that would never do, because I'd have to sign up the whole family, for $114/mo. That is for a pool and weight room and some drop-in activities. Other activities, babysitting, etc. are extra. Pam

On of the bloggers I follow uses a rice cooker on vacations, and she has some great ideas: http://gingerlemongirl.blogspot.com/2010/05/easy-gluten-free-rice-cooker-meals.html Pam

I get up at 5:30 and have until 7:30 to work out. I walk to a bus stop that is 2 km away. I usually get a short workout in at 9:00 p.m. I work full time, I homeschool my 13 yo LD son, I cook all from scratch due to allergies, and I have church responsibilities. Pam

I'd take fresh fruits and veggies, along with protein dips like peanut butter and hummus, and nightly at the hotel I would make some sort of soup or stew dish in the microwave, and eat it cold for lunch. Chili, curry, bean stew, etc. Breakfast: eggs, yogurt/tofu, fruit, chia pudding, baked potato, miso soup, cooked cereal…

I won't jinx myself by saying anything. Because for sure it would be the next food that I was allergic to and had to give up! Pam

M-W-F Run (lengths/times vary), fill in the rest of the time with yoga, wii, dvd's; later in the day, walking; evening short run/stairs intervals T-Th Strength training upper/lower, Gold's Gym Cardio, Just Dance 3, fill in the rest of the time with yoga, wii, dvd's; later in the day, walking; evening short run/stairs…

Lots of fresh/frozen berries, mushed a bit so they juice out. I only use maple syrup if I did a long run and have lots of extra calories to use. Pam
