No snow here but lots and lots of rain. The last 2.5 hours of my shift are just draaaaaagging on. I need to go run laps around the room to keep me awake!

I love skinnytaste! I had the zucchini lasagna from the cookbook tonight. Less carbs and tastes amazing.

Last nightshift before 3 glorious days off! Meeting with my physiotherapist this week to discuss what rehab i'll need after foot surgery in a few weeks. Starting to feel nervous!

Only 1.5 hours to go for me until 3 blissful days off. Picked up an OT shift on my days off and have a Thanksgiving dinner planned with family and hopefully a 4 hour hike if the weather co-operates!

Checking in! Working a 9 hour overtime shift today. I'm soooo looking forward to crawling into my flannel sheets once this shift is over.

If the cramping wasn't due to lack of water it could just be your muscles going into spasms to which something salty usually helps. GU Brew electrolyte tablets are awesome and I would pack a few of those. Good luck!

My hairdresser comes to my house. $100 for a full set of foils and a cut. I have long and thick hair as well. With tip ends up costing me $120. I have it done every 3 months.

Get back on track with my eating and exercise. I derailed for 3 days while I was up in Whistler. Majorly went over calories but time to snap back into my usual routine!

Yup mine is open. Helps keep me more accountable. Except for today. Tim Hortons donut was just calling my name.

Do you normally go hard or did you just decide to go balls to the wall? Like with anything, you have to ease into it gradually... especially if you have a medical condition. Try lower impact cardio and talk to your physician about what they suggest.

I'm pretty excited to watch this tomorrow!

I'm a fan of quest bars as well. Not as horrible as some of the bars out there and not completely loaded with sugar. I keep a few handy for when I go on hikes. The taste is way better than most protein bars IMO.

I always throw 1 package of stevia in mine with a handful of frozen fruit. My breakfast this morning at work has 1/4 cup of frozen mixed berries :)

There is an option to add strength training under cardio and it calculates the calories.

I track everything. That way I hold myself accountable. In the long run even if I splurge it tends to even itself out over the week and I don't feel guilty.

Most days my workouts are in the morning.... even after i've worked a 12 hour nightshift. I've learnt to stop making excuses. If you want results you just need to do it. I make sure my gym bag is packed in the morning and ready to go. When I work dayshifts that start at 630am I use the gym inside my work during my lunch…

If your BMR is too low to begin with.... why are you wanting to lose more weight? Focus on building muscle (which looks better than skinny fat) besides worrying about the # on the scale.

We have food nights all the time at work. I try to modify it so it can still fit within my calories and macros. For instance tomorrow we're having stuffed french toast. I'll be changing it up to have 1 slice of whole wheat bread dipped in egg whites & loaded with fruit. People aren't trying to sabotage you... it's all…

My quads have some fat that seem to refuse to vanish, no matter how hard I try. Tweaking a few things in the next few months hoping for some change

I love PB2! I've only tried it in shakes and it's great. I've used both the normal flavour and chocolate.

I drink tap water. City I live in has awesome water. I have an infuser water bottle so I throw in some frozen fruit, add water and voila!

Majority of my workouts are under an hour and this includes cardio. I work fulltime (shift work) and i'm a 24/7 single parent. With shift work it allows me gym time usually during the week while mini me is in school. My daughter is also in a few programs during the week at my local gym so that gives me 4.5 hours of workout…

Did my weekly weigh in today and wasn't expecting a loss at all since I ate around maintenance througout Easter weekend but BAM! Down another 0.5lbs. I consider this a win win

Didn't go on a binge but ate at maintenance for 2 days. That counts as a win win for me.

I make big batches of Buffalo chicken which can be used a variety of ways. Serve with whole grain rice, quinoa, black beans, make lettuce wraps with it etc. I buy my chicken in bulk and frozen from Costco.. Buffalo chicken recipe: 4 chicken breasts 2 cups chicken broth 1 clove minced garlic 1/2 cup franks red hot sauce…

Majority of my chicken is done in the crockpot and I shred it up afterwards. My usual recipes are Buffalo Chicken and Honey Lime Chicken. I'll eat it in a wrap, with quinoa, brown rice, etc

I love my Polar FT4. At first I was concerned about feeling the chest strap but during workouts I don't even notice it at all. Easy to clean as well.

Buffalo chicken lettuce wrap but i'm all out of Buffalo chicken and need to make another big batch in the crockpot tomorrow!
