That sounds amazing!!! I already did my shopping for the three things I mentioned above but I think I need to head out again and try this out. :)

I haven't made these yet and they may turn out to be not so great nutritionally but I just want to get in the habit of preparing my own quick freezer foods. These are what I plan on making this weekend (so far anyways): Meatballs (recipe is for sauce as well)…

Thank you!! I'm pretty sure the recipes I found can be tweaked too but I might as well test them right?

I'm going to prep and freeze some meatballs and also turkey burgers. :)

Thank you for replying! :) The thing that is making this so difficult is that we've talked about marriage a bajillion times, moving to Atlanta after he fulfills this contract (or whatever it's called) and building our life there so for him to all of a sudden start acting like that isn't the plan is a little unsettling. I…

I have been logging my weight once a week and I log whatever it says on weigh day (I tend to weigh myself 8 bajillion times a day and do not log those fluctuations).

Woohoo! My first forum post in what seems like forever! I'm definitely interested in hearing what other's have to say as I'm absolutely not well-versed on the benefits of protein powder but I started taking it when I started to life weights as my understanding is that helps to repair muscle damage that happenes when…

I replaced beer with wine. Not sure mine counts though. :tongue:

You had me at muffin.

When you say calorie supplement - you just mean extra food at the end of the day to bump up your calories to reach whatever your net is? I have trouble with that (sometimes) too. I named those items my Trouble (if I'm just being naughty with food) / Calorie Bump (need to squeeze in a few more calories) on my food…

I love skinny cow - haven't had them in forever though. That smoothie sounds yummy and WAY more nutritious)!

Oh yah... that sounds like heaven. I'm pretty sure I've got two potatoes laying around that need to be used. project for next weekend while the boyfriend is out of town!

You should share your fry recipe *hint, hint* And those are both great ideas!

I used this recipe from theyummylife.com http://www.theyummylife.com/Slow_Cooker_Apple_Cinnamon_Oatmeal

I'm just going to leave them on the counter overnight (sealed) and then put what doesn't get eaten into the fridge in the morning. In case anyone was wondering. :tongue:

Emergency (not really, I'm just being dramatic) bump!

I can definitely see the difference! Great job girl!

Awesome job!! You look great in your progress pics - the only thing missing is a big *kitten* smile!

Awesome progress! You look amazing!

You look great!!! And you totally look like Molly Shannon!

Me too! Just started it last night

I can't be too much help - I've moved twice this year and seemed to have misplaced my box' o' books but the ones I have on hand which I really enjoyed are: Stephen King's - Lisey's Story - I read almost all of his books when I was younger and Lisey's Story and Bag of Bones were departures from his usual schtick - that I…

I love Bag of Bones!! If those two other books you wrote about didn't have poor reviews from you I would check them out. Would love to hear another one of your favorites so I can check it out.

I'm finishing up Bag of Bones by Stephen King (for the umpteenth time) and just started reading The New Rules of Lifting for Women.

Planning is key. It can be kind of boring but I know essentially what I will be eating every day (with some potential for variety). Oatmeal for breakfast, lately a protein shake for lunch (new to protein shakes so testing out different versions), Chicken breast baked in the oven with some BBQ sauce on it for flavor) with…

There are a lot of different viewpoints on this and to be honest you have to put in the time and effort to figure out what is best for YOU as an individual. You really shouldn't ever NET below 1200 (but a day here or there won't kill you) but whether or not you eat back your workout calories is up to you. And one week is…

:drinker:

I stalk rockmyrun.com!

This. All of this!

I'm pretty sure I would kill myself if I had to follow this. That's all I have to say about that.
