I agree with pinthin87 that you should check the labels. I've grown stevia, and I've used it in a liquid form. That was years before Truvia came on the market. Truvia came on the market AFTER stevia became FDA approved. Truvia is made from stevia and fillers. Read your labels to see exactly what you are getting.

"I need you to look your best" is an insult. It's all about you. "I better warn you that my ex" [facial expression of slight disgust] "will probably be there. She always goes. Dressed to the nines." [Roll the eyes.] is a warning, and very welcome.

Congratulations! You look fabulous!

Now that I've got a second day, I can see that I'm way below 10,000 in my daily activity, so I think I'll set my eventual goal to reach 8,000 steps most days a week by the end of the month. 2/1 ? 2/2 4502 2/3 4652

2/2 Only 4502 steps. I think it's a little more than that, because of the accidental reset yesterday, but only a little. I've got a long way to go. I posted a thread yesterday on the website suggestions forum requesting a way to track steps on the exercise diary. I'd love to have a lovely report graph of me upping my steps…

I just looked down to check my pedometer, and, guess what ... it had reset to 0. At 3:51 in the afternoon, I'm back to 53 steps. :frown: I think I have an idea of the general number I had already done, but it's a guess. :grumble:

I'm bumping this so I can find it later today. Jake45, I love the poodles on your ticker! :smile:

LOL!

How about thinking in terms of making dinner after dinner. I have always used my slow cooker for a meal that is fast to get on the table when I get home. I make a kid-friendly chili (onion powder instead of those onion pieces that always make kids fuss and tomato juice instead of chunks of tomatoes) in my cooker. I also…

1. Spinach, kale, or romaine lettuce: I really need to work on upping my intake of these. 2. Yogurt: no problem. I eat it every day 3. Tomatoes, pumpkin, or sweet potatoes: I'm not allowed by the doctor to eat tomatoes, but I'll definitely work on increasing my intake of sweet potatoes or winter squashes 4. Black, pinto,…
