Sorry...no points for me today....long story starting with up at 5:30 for bloodwork!!!! Trying to get in the groove with this challenge!!

Well,. it was a spectacularly craptastic eating day - too much running around...but surprisingly way under for sodium - so points for me :tongue: and 1 hour of exercise - walking. Sadly no dancing :sad: Tomorrow's another day - good thing....

bump! Ok visiting daughter gone...time to be a good and participating team mate, since you were kind enough to let me in :flowerforyou:

bump! - thanks Jen!!!

One low cal day is not going to put you into the dreaded 'starvation mode', so going with the flow is up to you, IMO. On the other hand, when I have done a lot of activity and I don't feel like eating, the next day I am crazy hungry and really overdo it. My suggestion would be not to so much force yourself, but do try and…

After watching the first show, I could see there were personal and family issues that they totally didn't address. One of the first comments she made was that she was the only fat person in the family...and the promo was all about how the rest of the family did't support her. It left me with the impression that I was going…

All I can tell you is that I have been swimming as my primary exercise and logging it in MFP. When I used the MFP calculations for calories burned and followed the numbers as presented here for logging and eating back my calories, I lost exactly as predicted on the site. I'm not saying that everyone is going to have the…

Bump~ I just got a new waterproof mp3 player for my swim workouts and I have been at a loss for some good new tunes to put on it!

Hey SB....don't quit!! Hang in there and remember you have paid your$$ and you have a right to be there! I hear what you are saying though. I can so easily get derailed because I spend too much time "owning" the other guy's problem. I don't know about you, but assertiveness is my issue. It's really easy for these kind of…

Two things I discovered about Plantar Fasciitis 1) It is an inflammation, when I was intructed to ice my feet for 20 minutes the last thing I did before I got off them at night, it worked wonders for eventually giving me relief. 2) it is as much a symptom of mechanical issues higher up as it is a foot problem. My daughter…

My thoughts exactly. While there are a ton of health, lifestyle and ethical reasons for being vegetarian - if your primary reason is because you are concered about the agricultural ethics, then by looking for ethical meat sources you not only can satisfy yourself but also contribute to supporting the industry and…

I'm laughing because I just created this in My recipes (minus the splenda, since I'm not a fan) - but it's really a great idea. To use fresh pumpkin, just cook it and mash and then use it measure for measure. Don't boil the pumpkin, because you don't want added water in it,. but you can cut it open and scoop the seeds,…

Yep! me too! Health and political arguments aside, that's one reason I don't care for the artificial sweeteners...they are just TOO SWEET!

Anyone ever try making it with egg beaters? I've never seen in-shell pasturized eggs....

It's just a method of "bumping" the topic to the top of the recent posts lists, or bookmarking a topic. You have to put something in the field to post a reply, so sometimes you 'bump' just to move it up the list so folks can continue to see it; or you might 'bump' it just so that you can get it into your "My Topics" list…

Just as a comparison, I am a member of a pretty high end fitness club (membership is $75-$135/month depending on whether or not you want tennis) and their PT's are $75/hr. I am in Canada. IMHO if you want a PT to develop a customized program and then actually be hands on there to train and motivate you in mulitiple…

Great link! Thanks. I have been looking at the total immersion website, but they are too much about selling their programs for me. snorker - good luck with your goal ! That's so cool. Keep us posted. My swim goal was originally for fitness so I could join a Dragon Boat festival. It kept me motivated enough to get to the…

bump too! I buy Club House Tex Mex in the big bottle, but still would rather do my own.

Actually, this is great information for perspective.... Apparently in the US there is an old joke - what is the difference between a Canadian and a canoe???? A canoe tips....:grumble: Now that I see your wage breakdown....let me give you some Canadian perpective. Every province in Canada has a minimum wage, and though in…

I"ve been averaging 60 lengths in 60 minutes in a 23m pool (75ft) pool. I change it up and do 10 lengths at a time of front crawl, breast stroke, back stroke and flutter board. I've been swimming about 3 times per week for about a year. I was having a terrible time getting consecutive laps on the front crawl without…

See if you can find a product call "Ultimate Glucosamine" - it is a glucosamine powder, but very different from the regular glucosamine on the market. It is closer to what the body turn the generic glucosamine into before it uses it. "Ultimate Glucosamine® is a powder consisting of 100% pure N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. This…

I agree that you should call your Dr. just to have it looked at. You can also look up "seroma". I don't know if this is what has happened to you, but it might be. When I had my hysterectomy the outer incision opened up as a result of a seroma - basically a pocket of fluid that accumulated under the incision. Scared the…

My daughter and I were commenting recently on how all these new bridal reality shows etc are really upping the ante for what is "expected' in a wedding. I have NEVER heard of MIL and FIL gifts!!! If there is a website out there telling you that it is expected, then I would wonder where or how that tradition got started.…

Hey CC Hope you are feeling a little better today. I'm so glad you talked to you hubby, sometimes it can help just to hear that the other person is ok with taking care of you! It sounds like you have a wonderful family. Now let them treat you the way you raised them to treat other folks :wink: Have a restful weekend!
-
I wish you all the best and echo what everyone else has said. It can be so hard to let others take care of you when you are the one that usually takes care of everyone else. Here's something to consider....while you are resting and regaining your health, you ARE providing your daughter, young as she may be, with valuable…

Unfortunately those of us who have found 'religion' tend to evangelize. We are so excited that we are meeting our goals and this new lifestyle that we want to shout it from the rooftops and bring everyone we love along for the ride. The problem is that people who don't want to hear it aren't going to listen. In fact they…

How much you sweat is not an indicator of how hard you are working; but heart rate is. I am not a sweater..(well..maybe a bulky knit cardigan :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ), so you would think I'm not working hard to look at me. Sweating is a hydration issue, though, so if you tend to sweat a lot then you really need to make…
-
If the walking is doing it for you, then keep that up! Just be sure you push yourself a little so that your heart rate is up and your muscles are doing some work - like another poster said, either add distance or speed if it's getting too easy. It's better to do what you like and can sustain over the long term. I am…

Beware the Garlic and Herb calories though!....I had been eating the light and geting 2 wedges for 35 cals. Bought the light Garlic and Herb and mowing down on them - yum yum~! Read the label afterward and the wedges are bigger 45 cals for ONE!!!! Still a calorie bargain, but heads up! Love them both as celery stuffing!…
-
It allows the restaurant to look good by displaying a lower printed price on the menu for the food....at the end of the day, the tip is still an out of pocket cost for me. That meal is now 10-25% higher in cost than it looks, depending on how much you tip. Personally, I hate the stress of trying to decide who I tip…
