  • I am the same way, but I workout in the morning. However, consider that you have gone ALL night with nothing to eat so your body is really hungry if you have a fairly active morning, getting kids up and at it! I get up at 615 and spend the next 2 hours getting everyone out the door. I eat breakfast with the kids hen after…

  • It does.....the more you eat them the more your bady gets back in tune with itself and the less uncomfortable you will feel.
  • I was just talking wiht my husband about this.....He has several scars on his head from childhood injuries...one is very large and runs most of the length of the top of his head. For him, it is a story and a memory of the past...usually being a daredevil. I went my entire childhood without getting one single stitch until…
  • It is fun for my 3 girls! They rush out of bed every morning to find "Griswold" our elf. Which in turn makes getting them ready for school easier! I HATE the stories from their classmates about all the crazy things their elves have done! I feel like I'm slacking a bit but hey, my kids are loving what Griswold does. My…
  • Yup, me too! Dang kids need to be learning at school instead of talking about the latest shenanigans from their Elf! Should have homeschooled then I wouldn't have to hide a creppy little elf all around my house and frost cheerios to make it look like he made them donuts! I can't be a slacker compared to all those mom's…
  • talk with the doctor and then google the nutriton guide from the FDA website. Also keep in mind that if she is bigger, then she is bigger. My 10 year old has always been much bigger than the other kids too. She is now almost 100 pounds at the age of 10 but she is not overweight. Don't get me wrong, she is not stick thin…
  • I stay at home...my youngest just went off to kindergarten. I asked my husband if I should go back to work...he said, " no way, you are still a mom and they will still get sick and need you. We managed to get by without 2 incomes all this time why would we need it now? You love your volunteer time at the school and I love…
  • I live outside of KC, MO but I would love to move to Colorado....it just felt like home when we vacationed there last summer...so much so that I started looking at houses that were for sale. We live sooo close to all of our family and don't take this wrong but I would have no problem packing up and leaving everything. I…
  • for a great "lunch" pizza use the Ole Extreme Wellness High Fiber low-carb tortillas as your "crust" they come in tomato basil, spinach herb and whole wheat. The tomato basil and spinach herb are only about 65 cals per tortilla. Use one tbsp of your favorite bbq sauce, one serving of the Tyson grilled and ready chicken…
  • Well Said!!! I LOVE this! I know a few people that could follow this advice! I have actualy ad people ask "what did you do to lose all your weight" They start to tune me out when they realize I didn't havesome magic spell....It was a whole lot of work, healthy eating, sweat and tears to get where I am now but it was worth…
  • now that I am thinner, I eat waaaay more than I did 36 pounds ago. It's crazy. I weigh less, I'm losing weight and I eat an incredibly higher amount of food......the difference?? I eat a TON of fruits and veggies, I eat (usually) several small meals a day. I am also significantly more active now. Thin peaople eat all the…
  • I'm 5ft 3 and 4.0 is wlaking for me...a very brisk, walk but that's how I like it! 5.3 is a moderate jog for me and where I can jog for a long distance without getting really tired or sloppy with my running. I like to do bursts of 6.0 every now and then but I only run at 6.0 for 4 min. max. However, my 6ft tall husband…

  • wow, just wow! I am a cardio junkie! LOVE it! If I"m not moving fast, and dripping with sweat I don't feel like a got a good workout! I also know the importance of strength training and I do that 3 days a week along with a cardio workout. So yeah, I workout for about 2 hours a day. I average around 1300-1400 cals consumed…
  • saw your comment about living on special K bars. Ummm NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!! healthy nutritious foods! Fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains....all the stuff you find around the ouside of the grocery store! Nothing from a box or can or frozen food section. If you MUST have quick foods then choose very wisely! pay attention to…
  • This was exactly what I needed to read today!
  • "If you rest you'll rust!" "If you still look pretty when you're finished, you didn't work hard enough." "Change is not a future event, it is a present activity." "You can do anything for 30 seconds." "I'm not on a diet, I'm changing my lifestyle"
  • I always pack my lunch for those kind of days. I have al kinds of containers and ice packs to keep my stuff cool and yummy plus I have total control over what I eat that way! My favorite is a turkey wrap, carrot sticks and an apple or pear.......easy to eat on the go!
  • water. just water. anything else is not water.
  • chalk.....I seriously hate chalk...it gives me chills just to type the word. I friek out if I see it or hear it. I have to be INSIDE when my kids use sidewalk chalk....and even then I still get chills knowing they are using it. I am also terrified of stairs with no back on them...you know like a look-out tower or…
  • GAP jeans are my favorite that I have actually bought mself But thanks to my sister for giving me her Lucky jeans those are now my most favorite jeans....I 'll probably never buy a pair for myself...way to expensive for me but they are really nice jeans.
  • Mine should be open. I'll check after I post this. Anyway, my eating is all over the place. I eat pretty well for the most part but I do still enjoy my favorite things. I don't typically eat fast food but tonight was an exception. I've lost over 30 pounds and I eat everything from philly cheesesteaks, gyros to pizza every…
  • I just run! I HATE being told what to do. I run until I can't anymore then I walk for a bit. Then I run some more. I find that intervals like that are much more practical for me and make it to where I don't hate running. I have only been running for a year so I'm not running very far just yet. I went from never even…

  • I don't like the idea of all year school. Kids need a break...after-all they are children. So much of their lives revolve around doing their best an being taught to be so highly competitive all the time that it is nice for them to have some down time and just be a kid! So many kids have no imagination, no idea how to…
  • got home fro shopping with my three asolutely out of control kids today...it's a full moon for sure...these kids are acting like animals! Who wants 'em? They are cute, come with lots of sparkly, glittery, animal print accesories oh yeah and YES they DO bite! :smile:
  • Love to join you! You know me but here is my info: Screenname: Charityeaton Goal: hmmm, I don't really have one right now! I'm thinking I want to drop another 5-10 pounds and/or just get more muscle definition. Workout history: been working hard for the past year: running 3 days a week midway through Round 2 of p90x, I…
  • I would not change a thing because I have learned so many things about myself and my body. I wouldn't want to skip over that learning phase becasue I think the pain and tears were a vital part in making sure I stick with this as a lifestyle. I am stronger, healthier and smarter because of all of the mistakes I made along…
  • eat the chocolate! I go through a bag of dark chocolate chips every week! I still lost over 30 pounds doing it too! There is NO WAY I will ever cut chocolate out of my daily food intake! I don't eat the entire bag in one day but it IS gone in 7 days!!! It keeps me happy and everyone in my family alive! LOL!
