I knew I had eaten bad this past weekend, SO bad that I didn't want to see how bad it really was!!! But, I manned up, and BOY was it bad. 4434 calories over the budget (combined), and 14090 mg of sodium over. No wonder I felt so bad this morning!! I had an extra pound plus of food plus all that extra water retained! got on…

Fundraiser candy (currently munching on a Crisp Bar) Just can't seem to say no when someone asks me if I want to support them doing x.

I have a blog, not just health related: logananance.blogspot.com

I'll restart on Monday with ya!

Arielle, are you training for a specific 5K or just to get to the point where you can run a full 5k without stopping? If you don't have a specific date that you are training for, then take your time and work up to the next week at your own pace. As far as the legs getting tingly, I had the same problem when I was training.…

Are you going for the entire time?

WOW...i didn't want a hot dog until now!!! THANKS!!!! :laugh:

Just read this: Male Perverted Mind: "Ummmmmm.....that only makes it WORSE!!!"

Arielle, you are gonna kill it on Sunday...got faith in ya girl!!! You are gonna have so much adrenaline running thru your body that you probably won't even know what's happening until it's over....Good luck, be safe!!

Wow, been going "religiously" to the gym 5 days a week for 4 months now, and suddenly, my back, hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow aches!!! :LOL :noway: :sad: :laugh: Needed the laugh thanx!!

She actually has been hinting at wanting to hire someone to come in and fix the meals for her, or she wants to switch to the "meals in a box" so it is all figured for her. That is why I am trying to help with keeping up with the calories and all that for her.

That actually does help.. I do most of the cooking so the the butter on the beans or veggies is not a problem, everyone puts it according to what they want when they get their plate. Thanks

Ok, ok, I was a complete idiot for doing what I did. I understand that... the point of my question is how do I help her get her 1500 calories while I get my 3000 for the day?

Yea, the "Was it worth it?" may have been a little much, but I enjoyed it b/c it was a good Mexican meal that I rarely get. She normally looks to me for guidance on what to get for food choices, which makes things difficult when I am trying to eat ALL my calories. I tend to have 700-1100 calories left for dinner right now,…

I never count my gum, but I've never thought about it that way. I tend to chew a piece until it is about to practically fall apart. My wife asks me some times if my jaw is tired because hers is from watchin me chew, and I chew about 3 pieces a day.. Also don't count my creamer in my coffee, only have one cup a day, so it…

Don't really watch it on TV, love watching it live at a ballpark, try to make it to 2 or 3 games a year in Atlanta (1 already down this year). Get the first no-hitter or perfect game of the year on my ipod to rewatch again and again whenever I want to. Have been a diehard Orioles fan since Ripken was a rookie.

MommaRed>>> I am also a Christian, and see nothing wrong with drinking a beer or a glass of wine. The Bible actually does not say to not drink, it simply states do not drink to excess. The apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to take a little wine for the stomach. There have been many days when I have wanted to come home and open…

Simon, The salads that I get are from Chick-Fil-A, and are always under 300 calories, a little high on the sodium, but I usually try to drink an extra couple bottles of water the next day to counter act them. In fact, Chick-Fil-A is one of the ONLY places where just about every item on the menu is health conscious (EXCEPT…

All right just to be clear are we talking about time you are working out that you are sitting recuperating, or time during your day that you are sitting?

I actually have been making my own "spaghetti" sauce for about the last two years and use turkey for my meat. One word of warning. Make sure that you get the real lean (98%) not the 85%, or you will have a lot more calories. You can also add mushrooms, which have very little calories, and use whole wheat pasta, which will…

I actually am with the others, I have been going out with friends on Fridays or Saturdays a lot lately either to a ball game or a wedding or some kind of gathering where I KNOW right off there would be NO WAY IN %^&*# that it would even be possible to stay within my normal calorie count for a normal day. So, I get up early…

I've always heard to drink plenty of fluids when you are sick, especially when you got a fever, just so you WON'T get dehydrated...and that's from a lot of doctors that I have been to.

First off, set up trust funds for a number of people that are important to me so they would always be guaranteed to be taken care of for the rest of the their lives. Second, donate to several worthy charities that I have been involved in for several years in some form or fashion. Third, pay off all my and my wife's debts,…
