my hubby travels for work and is gone about 40 weeks a year. I have a 5 year old and a 23 month old. I work in the mornings and go to school at night. I also have to squeeze meals, homework and play with the kids in. I usually put the 23 month old down for a nap at 1 and then do a workout video for about 40 minutes and…

as someone who has been blessed by the boob fairy (thin or fat, doesn't matter - at 119 lbs in my senior year of high school, i was a DD. pretty sure those 19 pounds were boobs), i don't think of cleavage as something i want to show off. it's always been something i've had to cover up so men would respect me. but more…

not odd at all. my mom used to do this for us when we were little and we would rent a video player (back in the day) and have movie night at home.

nutritional yeast tastes like parm and is good. so is cayenne and red pepper flakes. i like heat. i've heard peanut butter is good....i may have to try this.

undergrad in sociology and working on 2nd undergrad in accounting. plan to go to grad school for Masters Public Administration. Maybe by the time I'm 50, I'll decide I'm sick of school...

sugar free pudding with sugar free whipped topping. soups - consomme is my favorite when i'm sick. enjoy it out of a mug. protein shakes.

i don't reconstitute for my above smoothie because the almond milk does that. if you are adding to a liquid, no need to premix first....

i use mine in my morning protein shake: 1 c. almond milk 1/2 banana (or a whole one - up to you) chocolate whey protein (I use the EAS Lean 15 100 cals for 2 scoops) - you can skip this if you want 2 T. PB 2 Stevia if you like it sweet 5 ice cubes Whip it up in the blender. about 250 cals depending on how much banana you…

my hubby travels a lot for work and i find i binge when i'm missing him and when i am stressed out. usually after the kids go to bed. if it carries over until the next day, i find myself consumed with thoughts of food and planning ahead what i'll binge on. however, since i started this "diet/lifestyle change" in january,…

Got a Polar FT40 on amazon (has all sorts of functions and i LOVE it). just slightly over $100.

agreed - if you feel like you are truly hungry - physical, not mental - you probably need to rethink what you are eating. string cheese is good, veggies and hummus, a boiled egg, etc.

pickles help take the edge off for me. and usually after 3 or 5 pickle chips, i've had enough.

i have a bad knee thanks to a torn acl and a bad reconstruction. i didn't have problems with 30DS as long as i modified the jumping moves. lunges were difficult at times, but not awful. my knees also make that lovely crunching noise. it's the cartilage. the stronger your quads, the more they protect your knee. also, you…

I was a band geek. But I'm also kind of a nerd. Not socially awkward at all, but love things like grammar and politics for fun...

i wear my hair SUPER short and I LOVE it. i have 2 little ones, work, school and trying to squeeze in workouts. i love that i can wash and wear. i should say that i have VERY thick (every stylist i've ever had has told me they have never seen hair so thick. i guess i'm lucky???) it is also VERY wavy and unruly, so when…

i think it's totally possible as long as you have the discussion before you have kids and as long as neither of you push it on the other. i'm a catholic and have dated a jew, a muslim, several atheists, etc. we just agreed that no one was out to convert the other. those relationships never got to the point of having a…

i wear between an 8-10 at that weight. depends on brand. generally the better the quality, the smaller the size. so in calvin's i'd wear an 8 and levi's i'd wear a 10.

it's amazing the different experiences that everyone has had. mine was outpatient. i went in at 7 and was home by 11. i think i laid on the couch the first day and then after that i was fine. anything was better than the pain of those attacks. c-sections, an acl tear, reconstruction and physical therapy didn't COMPARE the…

Agreed ^^^^. Talk to a doctor. I had mine done with a scope and was back at it within a week. BUT, that doesn't mean you should consider that appropriate for you. I will say, 2 weeks of driving is with regard to pain meds. I was off my pain meds and driving within 3 days. Same with both of my c-sections. But only if you…

but her cancer is gone. i'm all for alternative therapies, but i draw the line at putting things that came out of my body back in...

it's a matter of creating the habit. give it 2 - 3 weeks of forcing yourself to do it and i guarantee, you won't want to give it up after that. i have the same problem when i go for a period without working out, but once i get back into it, i LOVE it.

oh, one more i do a lot of are spicy black bean burgers on an arnold sandwich thin with lots of veggies. can zap it in the microwave 30-40 seconds per side and you've got dinner...

my husband travels and my kids are super picky, so a lot of nights it's just me. i make pesto (i use basil but also baby spinach) and toast walnuts and use those instead of pricey pine nuts. also some evoo, lots of garlic, good parm, salt & pepper. freeze in ice cube trays. once frozen, pop out into a ziploc baggie. and…

Also, i would say that the absolute BEST dvd is the one you enjoy enough to keep doing. a couple posters mentioned the library. that would be a great place to start.

biggest loser and jillian michaels because i am not coordinated enough to manage the complicated moves of some of the more dance oriented dvds. i get the whole idea is to move, but even by myself i feel self-conscious if i can't do it right. also, turbo jam is ok. p90x and insanity are all more straight forward exercise…

amazing transformation! and sooo jealous of your gym. i'd give my left arm just to have the space to put ONE piece of equipment. :laugh:
