This is timely for me as I think about getting back out there. I've found with my new eating habits I'm kind of a buzz-kill at dinner. I don't drink so I never worry about that. But, I sometimes feel pressure to "just eat" or "live a little" when out with friends because I'm reflexively more cautious about the foods I'll…

1min45sec on power level 3 in the microwave in a specific glass bowl sprayed with Pam (took me quite a bit of fussing to come up with the time and power level to give me cooked whites but a runny yolk and the yolk must be EXACTLY dead center in the bowl or it doesn't come out right) I make this egg every morning and eat on…

Depends on what I'm doing. For spinning I wear shorts that are slightly above the knee but not too short. If short they ride up, if long they snag on my knees as I spin. I prefer a semi-fitted short. Just not ready for a fitted pant/short yet. Maybe in 15 more lbs. For weight training I tend to wear capri or long length…

I just eat whatever looks good on the menu. And, I definitely eat dessert. I *LOVE* dessert. <sigh> Then I suffer through the gut-rot later that night and/or the next day.

Have you tried foam rolling? Some swear by it for DOMS. I feel it helps me but it isn't a miracle cure or anything. Good luck!

I don't think you are evil. I don't plan on buying candy this year and won't be home to hand it out because I plan on being at the gym for a TRX/cycle class. My ex will be taking the kids out on his own. Maybe you can get someone else to take the kids while you are at Zumba? One rule we always did was the kids got to eat…

Yes! Collarbones are one of my goals. Congrats!

It is strength training but also a lot of cardio. I created a new cardio exercise and logged the Cal from my heart rate monitor. I would think you could use the "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" otherwise. I used to do Bodypump 2-3x a week but now that I work there aren't as many options for me to do…

Search "seated exercises", "chair exercises" or "chair boxing". There are a lot of ideas out there. I wish you luck in your recovery!

I think in smaller steps. When I started I needed to lose 60-70 lbs. But I set my first goal at 30ish. I've since bumped it another 15 as I've gotten closer to my original goal. And, I've had to break the habit of rewarding my successes with food. My latest big reward was new bras. My wake-up call came seeing family photos…

I weigh myself everyday right after using the bathroom but before my shower. But I only log the weight when I've had a loss from my last logged weight. I don't worry too much about the daily fluctuations. I know that the day after a strong workout I'm a bit heavier but by the second if I don't work out again I'm back or…

I have more to lose but there are some strange things like my shoulder blades are bonier so I feel hard surfaces when I lean on them. And my collarbones are more prominent and that makes me feel good about myself. And the double chin...I like that it is less double! Like someone else said I still pick out bigger clothes…

I agree about healthy balance and finding what works for you. But, I highly disagree with not worrying about calories and just cutting sugar. Calories do matter even if it isn't from sugar.
