Usually I do. If I work out before my shift, I'm tired, lethargic and sore. I'm still new to the working out and being a floor nurse, being tired and lethargic are not a good option for me! At first blush, going for a nice 2 mile walk is relaxing, helps me to unwind and I think I can go to sleep. But it never works.

Lentils and Quinoa are wonderful choices! Even together! Yum! Add a little low sodium spices in a slow-cooker and BAM! Meals for a week! I also try to go bread free or low bread. High carbs/sugars/cals. Protein keeps you full. Look up oatmeal recipes. I've never been fond of oatmeal but the overnight steel-cut oats (and I…

Amazing pictures! I can definitely see a difference and only after 14 days! That's incredible! Way to go! You have just inspired me to RE-Do 30DS. I had started it and given up. Yay for being an inspiration!

I'm in late, but I love this. I'm totally in! Mom to a 11, 10 and 8 year old. I have 80lbs to loose and I really need to step up my game. I gained 80lbs with my last pregnancy and have remained at this weight since then (Yes, I know...he's 8!). I work night shift RN at a hospital an hour from home. Sleep is limited much…

I love Christina Aguilera songs. Dirrty is one of my faves. Also love Black Eye Peas. Great beats!

Wow. What an amazing story and so very true. Where I live, I won't be able to have a story exactly like that (way out in the country and my commute to work is an hour of highway) but MFP is that experience for me. I see people on here doing their thing and I'm so PROUD of them. The simple WTG and GJ just doesn't cut it but…

That's so amazing! What a great job you've done, not only for yourself, but for your family! Love your story!

Haven't had a chance to post til now, but as of 4:45 pm on Tues, you can put me down at DONE! First time ever I've done 50 pushups in one day. Go Me!

I'm in! Going to do the first 10 now....DONE! Girly push-ups...but done! Whew! Goal: 50 Push-ups Done: 10 Push-ups Left: 40 Push-ups

On top of all the good advice you received from jrm, make sure you're not exercising before bed. That always keeps me up. If you do...take a COLD shower to bring your body temp back down. Still not great, but it helps. Sometimes that's the only time you have.

I just had mine removed and then replaced about 4 weeks apart a few weeks ago. I haven't experienced any of that. i have had some bleeding but that's normal and much better than post-pregnancy bleeding.

I, too, have quit ww for here. I love it here! The support is so much better! Feel free to add me!

I'm 29 with a lot to lose and a lot of motivation! RN and mom of 3

Fresh raw spinach (for salads and wraps), greek yogurt, CARROTS!

Good thing I'm a nurse! Lol!

I mean, be smart about it. Watch for any increase in pain, redness around the area, if you feel a hardened area around/under the site, or drainage/pus. Obviously. But otherwise, I think you'll be fine.
-
Okay. People are making a big deal out of this. Get bandaids and Neo tomorrow. Heal one day to make sure that the hole is sealed and closed up, then you're fine.

One of my faves is an Egg Quesadilla. Very easy to cook and tasty! I hate the taste of eggs but love these. There is a cute video on how here: http://weelicious.com/ Egg, cheese, tortilla. Then you add anything you want ontop. I like to add fat free sour cream...Delish! Also, I use the large tortilla and cut the quesadilla…

That's hilarious! Love it!

Actually just finished Day #1 of 30DS and found this post! I'm so in! Motivation has ALWAYS been a big weak spot for me! WooHoo!

I'm in! My day ends at 7am (when I clock out) so I'll repost then!

Sorry. I've been working just about every night. I wasn't trying to ignore you! Quinoa is a kind of grain and I love it in soups, as a side at dinner, on a salad or even plain. It's interesting looking and has a grainy taste. It's usually found in the grocery store near rice and couscous (which I also love!).…

What great inspiration! I cannot wait to get to where I can post AFTER photos!!!

I agree with Mandy! I've used Slim Fast shakes/snacks and I always felt swollen/bloated. I'm very sodium sensitive and I don't know it was that or just in my head. Veggies made me feel much better!
-
I don't have a lot of confidence since I have never done overhead triceps, but I'm in! Wish me luck. Headed to bed (I work nights) So I'm going to do as many as I can now and then again when I wake up!
-
I too am going to add you all! So proud of all of you for making the decision to love yourself!
-
One of my favorite side dishes is quinoa. Even the kids enjoy it because it's interesting looking. For healthy snacks, I keep cheese sticks/laughing cow wedges and plenty of yogurt and fruit in the house. Always a good choice.

I've been using MFP for about 3 weeks now and have mainly focused on my nutrition. I've started the C25K but I've only completed 2days and that was only partially completed. The app that I downloaded has me out for 30 minutes with alternating 90sec of walking and 60 sec of running x8. I haven't been able to run all 8…
