  • I just sprinkle chia seeds on yogurt and eat it immediately. I don't like them when they turn into frog eggs....

  • Don't worry about your time!!! Just do it. You will be so pumped that you did it! :) For a 5K I don't carry water or anything, because generally there is water at the end and I hate carrying stuff when I run. It's over before I am really thirsty. Good luck and have fun!!! I am editing because I realize I didn't answer your…

  • I am no longer Catholic either, but we do participate in Lent as an exercise in family focus and will power. Our go-to is take out coffee (bye, bye Timmies) and timbits for the kids, as it is a bad habit we have on weekends when we are on the go. We are adding chocolate, as a family. I am also extending that to any sweets…

  • I like this thread! :happy: 1. My jeans are a bit loose this morning. 2. The sun is shining and there is fluffy white snow everywhere - we have had a GREY winter, so this is beautiful! 3. My big kids went off to school smoothly and with a smile. :flowerforyou: It's going to be a great day!

  • We love our oatmeal/hot cereal here :laugh: so we like to mix it up. I probably make Steel Cut Oats (we buy Pres Choice Blue Menu, Quaker or in bulk, depending on where I shop) 3-4 times a week. We also make Quaker rolled oats, use the packets, Red River and Cream of Wheat. But, the Steel Cut Oats are our favourites.

You put a casserole inside the crock, and put the oats and water in a ratio of 1:4 in the smaller casserole. Then, you pour maybe two inches of water around the casserole, so in the crock. Shut it and cook it on low from…

  • Food porn! :laugh: So true!! My DH and I will often split an entree or get an app to share and have a big salad, dressing on the side. I also will try to eat a piece of fruit or some raw vegs before going out to fill up a bit.

  • Weekends are definitely a challenge. We often have special events going on, or are out and about. I try to bring healthy snacks and such to help. I find exercise hard on the weekend, too, because I am out of routine.
