Hi all :) almost through my first week of 16:8 - planning to stick to it every day, as much as possible - I've been reading through the information on idmprogram.com - it's a LOT to take in, but evidence-based, and interesting :)
-
Yep :)
-
I think he has a naughty streak :)
-
pretty much never...
-
More smiley :)
-
less muscle-y
-
No, but only because he just said he's happily married ;)

I'm just a few years into my 40s, but agree 100% - 30s were all kids/family - loving being able to focus on me a bit more and get my mojo back as I make my way toward 50 :) Wishing you fantastic, fantabulous, f'n amazing 50's :)

I grew up in that corner of the state (Spillville) - love kayaking/canoeing on the Upper Iowa/ Yellow River/Turkey River - it's gorgeous up there
-
wow! you're getting some miles in :) Reclaimed Rails is in Bondurant, near Des Moines - I'm doing the Driftless Half from Harper's Ferry to Lansing (far NE corner of IA) in October
-
I make sure if I indulge it's something really flavorful, so I don't need much, but get the flavor I'm craving - feta cheese and olives with my chicken breast or in a salad, for example - I was obsessed with bacon and blue cheese last summer, but just one slice of bacon and just a little bit of blue cheese goes a long way,…

Central Iowa here :)

my diary is open, too (though there is a very large gap in my entries, lol - just getting back at it) feel free to friend me ♡
-
Swim team is GREAT exercise! I loved it as a kid - great social interaction, but you are competing as an individual - my kids love taking out their old ribbons from meets and comparing their latest times to see how much faster they have gotten - my oldest is a book-worm, and would rather sit in a corner and read than go…
-
I like the show mostly for the contestants' stories, seeing their struggle and how they get through it is inspiring to me - honestly, I DVR and start watching at least an hour after it actually starts, and sometimes fast forward through the weigh-in to get to the 'at home update' from the person that went home. The 'pounds…

Hi from Monroe - just down the road a bit :) Have you done any of the fitness classes with Real Fitness there in town? I've heard a LOT of great things about them (haven't gone myself...) One of my daughters is starting the PCM fit kids boot camp this week in PC, too - she is so excited!
-
I do a monthly plan - as much for budget/time management as for health and weight loss. For example, I know that Mondays I drive for swim team practice and we won't be home until at least 7PM, so Monday is crock-pot night - Wednesday we eat supper on the road in between one activity and another, so Tuesday night I know I…

3 girls, 9, 7, & 4 and I'm right with a lot of you and the hectic schedule - swim team practice and meets, basketball, classes at church, tai kwon do, my youngest wants to sign up for gymnastics and my 7 yo is signing up for a 'fit kids' boot camp - my oldest may be wise beyond her years, when I asked her about boot camp,…
-
I like to watch the cooking shows in the morning when I'm on the treadmill, lol - There's no way I can whip up a creme brulee in the morning before work, so it's pretty safe, lol
-
my 3 favorite breakfasts - overnight steel cut oats - put in slow cooker with water and frozen peaches (and/or blueberries or blackberries) in the am eat a serving with a dollop of vanilla yogurt, and pack up the rest for future breakfasts (can freeze some servings too, if you wish) egg muffin - spray a cereal bowl and put…
-
It only took me almost 37 years, but I just recently started drinking my coffee black - it helps me sip, not guzzle it, too - so I drink much less of it - my one travel mug lasts me all AM :)
-
But, the fact that it isn't even lunch time means that it isn't even officially a bad day yet - you still have an entire half of a day to turn it around and make it a pretty darn good one :) I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have resisted a chocolate muffin... I've been a hermit at work lately - I teach, and rarely leave my…
-
at work I keep a few cans of Progresso Lentil Soup in my drawer (looks like dog food, but tastes delicious) - good for days I forget or don't feel like packing my lunch - I add fresh spinach and other veg - sometimes diced green pepper or tomato (fresh or sun-dried)...
-
AAACK! desparately trying to wipe this mental image from my mind, lol - I love cottage cheese (well at least I used to) :D with peaches :) it does have a unique texture, though - turns lots of people off...
-
I'm in IA - originally from NE Iowa, now in the Newton area
-
I cook an egg in the microwave - 1 minute - in a cereal bowl, which makes it the perfect size to fit on one of those thin buns to make a sandwich (toasted) - I usually put some type of veg in with my egg - some chopped up brocolli or spinach or tomato - salsa sometimes - then I either put a little bit of super hot…
-
At home, mostly alone - my kids will do Just Dance with me on the Wii, and last night my husband did 30 Day Shred with me - I highly recommend that video for anyone having a hard time fitting in exercise - it's quick, but effective (and cheap, usually $10 or under at Walmart or Target)

This There are much bigger demons out there than Miss Paula Deen IMHO :)
