exactly. I can't eat pancakes with syrup without a blood sugar issue cropping up, so I'm all about the pizza

I just made applesauce from my trees' windfall apples, and they're sour, sour, sour. However, I made the sauce in the crockpot, and made cinnamon sugar for my kids to add at will. I freeze it in 1/2 C portions to bake with, and the baked goods seem fine. My DH needs sweetening in his (so I made simple syrup, and store it…

This made my day.

It's Sunday....feeling less awesome now. I guessed correctly about sit ups & leg raises, but am pretty behind on plank seconds. I'm usually using the mobile app, so can't post easily (though I can check the boards if I just use the web browser.)

Frozen bananas make the smoothie have a thicker, creamier texture. The bananas, and yogurt, too, help make a smoothie more reminiscent of the milk shake..

Week 5, day 3 tomorrow...(goal? not puking)

Fewer calories

You are cold in the summer. You worry about getting damp the rest of the year. Your shoes/coats/hairstyle aren't water-resistant. You haven't attempting running as a hobby. You mispronounce the names of major roads, bodies of water, landmarks...and the name of the state...

Yes, please.

I've been keeping up without access to the boards.... was today a rest (please?)?

Nuts (almonds, pistachios) are the big change in my shopping list. I didn't used to snack on nuts, but they're my preferred treat now.

I force myself to drink water before I allow myself to wallow in coffee.

I chose to drink my calories: white zin over frozen strawberries. I'm so ready for rain.

Exactly.

Week 5, day 1 done. Using the nhs podcast, this one's not too hard (three five minute runs, two three minute walks sandwiched between.) I signed up for a 5K at the beginning of September: if I don't screw up, I should be able to do it, right?

Congratulations!

Quinoa: cook with the appropriate amount of water plus 1/4 C golden raisins and a tablespoon of curry powder. Let it cool, then add 1 chopped granny smith apple, about 1/2 a small red onion, a cup or so of raw, chopped kale, and dress with a mustard-cider vinegar-honey-olive oil dressing. Black Beans: cooled beans, cooled…

I also teach, and have to leave by 5:30 to be on time to work (so, dog walking by 4 if I'm exercising before work.) Mornings are not my best. I eat breakfast at school, and have access to a fridge and a microwave, so, on days when I eat breakfast, I tend to have one of the following: crockpot steel cut oats (I make a big…

I'm repeating yesterday: don't want to lose momentum this early in the month...can I bank the "rest day" for, I don't know, after school starts up again? ;)

Done!

Done, now...

HA!

exactly this

Of course. So can my kids. Of course, I grew up with a rotary phone on a party line: we knew the neighbor was getting a divorce before her husband knew....

I grew up in CA, but am now in OR. Soda, for clear/citrus/seltzer. or Cola, if I mean "brown pop" (we don't have fireflies, but fireflies) Hoagies (if you mean the meat/cheese/oil & vinegar sandwiches), but subs if you mean from Subway. We have a sofa. And "traffic circles." (It's not a roundabout. It's a snarl waiting to…

Zucchini tots (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/07/zucchini-tots.html, though I changed the recipe. Full fat cheese, egg substitute, no salt.) Zucchini bisque, and caesar salad. (The garden? Apparently all zucchini right now.)

I try to leave calories because I anticipate that I've been crediting with burning more than I've actually burnt through exercise. However, on days when I don't exercise, I just weigh and measure food and don't worry about leaving a buffer.

Vegetable-laden Lasagne In a food processor, combine a yellow onion, a drained can of artichokes, 3 oz feta (I usually use garlic & herb), 3 oz neufchatel (if desired--I usually leave it out), a handful of spinach & dried basil & pepper (to taste). Add an egg white if you want. (Or skip that step, if you like ricotta. I…
