  • I walk and ride my bike. If I need to run errands, we have a 2000 Toyota Corolla. We usually only use it about once a week or so. When she goes kaput in a few years, then we're going to get a Prius!
  • I successfully gave up coffee a year ago, for health reasons. I drank coffee from a young age (15? 16?) until I was 32. First, I did half caf for a few days, then I transitioned to yerba mate. It was strange drinking tea in the morning at first, since you don't get that same acidic jump, but I got used to it. After about a…
  • Aw! So many animal rescue-oriented groups! I volunteer for a local pug rescue. We have two pugs ourselves. Can't imagine why there are any pugs in need of adoption! Pugs are THE BEST. I also do this volunteer thing for the local animal shelter where you check out a rescue dog and jog with them on the local trails. I look…
  • I drink a cup of green tea in the morning, and maybe another in the afternoon. I'm not brand-loyal, so I like to try different kinds. Right now, I'm drinking Tazo China Green Tips green tea. I have a box of Trader Joe's organic green tea waiting for me when I finish the other box. Before bed, I drink some chamomile or…

  • I play console and computer-based games on my Mac! The last game I was really into was Diablo 3 (I mean, I waited for what seemed like half my life for that to come out!). Tomorrow, I'm going to get Guild Wars 2, and I'm so excited. On console, I love the Mass Effect series. I recently got Skyrim, but Bethesda games always…
  • I've only had it in its raw form a few times in my life. I do love the popsicles and shakes, especially when they have bits of raw durian in it!
  • I pretty much eat hummus every other day! I obviously love it, too. My lazy day lunch is glop of hummus with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top, with avocados and cucumbers and crackers. Ever since I started making my own hummus at home, I can't go back to getting store-bought hummus. I must say, mine tastes much…
  • I did Workout 7 yesterday. All I can say that is that I loathe crow pushups! Looking forward to doing Workout 8 for the first time this morning!
  • Usually six days a week.
  • It sounds like you're either exercising too much or stressed out because you don't have any time for a social life. Maybe it's a little of both? I totally understand exercising (almost) every day. I do much better when I have a routine. I wake up early during the week, and work out for 45 minutes before work and take our…
  • I'm an administrative law judge, and I love my job!
  • When we were living in Barcelona, I would take our pups to this park right by our flat pretty much every day. This is a picture of me with our pugs in front of a fountain in the park.
  • travel hang out with husband play with pups brunch with girlfriends work out volunteer with animal shelter (by jogging with shelter pups!) sew dresses read books involving magic and wizards play diablo 3 brush up on spanish and learn french cook knit things i don't need (because we live in TX)
  • Hey everyone! I'm in your "class"! I just started Phase 2 this week. I have to admit, I was a little bit bored with Phase 1, but I'm enjoying Phase 2 so far. It's a bit more challenging. Overall, I've been enjoying JMBR so far. I like the exercise, the cast, and the timing. The only thing I don't like are the cardio…
  • I'm technically pescatarian, since I eat fish twice a month or so. However, I eat at home most of the time, and I almost always cook vegetarian. Feel free to add me!
  • Jennifer Garner! Not my body type (she's tall, I barely clear five feet), but so inspiring!
  • Make your husband do these things with you! Once a week, we sit down with my phone (I have an app that does the grocery lists) and we pick out two or three recipes that sound good for the week. We always make double portions, so we can have leftovers. Then we grocery shop on Saturday morning. When it comes to cooking, we…
  • I had this reaction to a certain brand as well, even when I took it with a large meal. I recently started taking Rainbow Light Women's Just Once multivitamin. I love it!
  • Buffy and Firefly!
  • Skyrim and Diablo 3.
  • We usually spend about $75-100 a week in groceries. We eat fish occasionally, but we mostly eat lots of fresh veggies, fruit, legumes, and the occassional piece of cheese. This also includes our weekly CSA box.
  • Melatonin + chamomile tea always does the trick for me! We were living in Spain for a while, and transitioning to being back in the U.S. was brutal sleepwise for me. I would fall asleep really easily, but then start waking up at about 2:30 or 3:00 a.m. This sucked when I started work! Hope this helps.
  • 1. I can only read epic, ten book long, dragony fantasy series. Otherwise, I get bored. 2. My workout playlists consist of artists from the late 80's to 90's: Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears. (I just added Rihanna, though, so that may change soon.) 3. I know two languages besides English: Spanish and Tagalog.…
  • I'm up! I'm doing day three of Jillian Michaels's Body Revolution!
  • great photo essay! keep up the good work!
  • Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson.
  • We eat eggplant at least once a week. Here are a few: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Spicy-Glazed-Eggplant-242293 http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Roasted-Eggplant-Salad-with-Pita-Chips-and-Yogurt-Sauce-240227…
  • Good to know! I was worried that it was only taking me 25 to 30 minutes to do the Stage 1 workouts.
  • I did my second to last weight training day yesterday! So happy because it sucked. It was too hot in the gym and I felt nauseated halfway through the workout. The last weight training day is today, then I'm going to do JM videos for the rest of our 30 days. Great job, everyone!
  • Did Day 23 of JM's MTC program yesterday. I almost didn't make it because it was so hot in the gym! Today's supposed to be a rest day, but I think I'm at least going to go out for a run before it gets too hot out. Enjoy the day, everyone!
