AWESOME!

In my VERY humble opinion, just being at a deficit on calories isn't all you need to do. You need to ensure the quality of calories you are getting is good - eliminate, or at the very least reduce the amount of sugar/sodium and simple carbs in your diet. Things like crumpets, and fries, fast food stuff. Other things that…

Don't look for shortcuts. Log everything. If you're really into the "science" of losing weight, you have to track the data accurately. You can't do that if you're eyeballing portion or not logging everything. IMHO.

I LOVE this cat.

Unicorns AND bacon?!?!? In.

^^ this. Mmmmmmm bacon.

Mild: Slow drivers in the fast lane. Severe: Coming home after the gym, to teenagers who have eaten all the food. ALL THE FOOD. ALLLL of IT! That's a road straight to rage if I've even seen one.

Such a great show. Awesome books. Favorites last night: Teeth bouncing on the ground after that fist punch. Don't get me wrong- I adored the viper, I did. But his death was spectacular. The story of Tyrions cousin smashing beetles? Loved it. Mostly because I love Tyrion and the way he tells a tale. The "relentless beetle…

GREAT article. Thanks for sharing this. :)

You're officially my new best friend. I'm now smiling.

I think its a dangerous thing to tie ones self esteem, acceptance, worth, etc. to body image. You are more than your body- more than your weight. Should you love your body, absolutely. Should you let your size or weight validate who you are as a being? Maybe not so much. Eventually you will get old. Your muscles will…

You are awesome!

Offer to take something delicious and healthy that you can enjoy. Make that thing 80% of your meal. Let the other 20% be a small portion of everything else. :)

Skinny Pirates are usually my go to- coconut rum and diet vanilla coke. But any "diet" mixer with something clear and you should be good to go.

Rejection, in any form, is heart breaking. It hits us at the core of what we consider to be our self worth. External validation from someone can be intoxicating, and unfortunately its really easy to say things without realizing the full implication of what they mean. Words like "I love you unconditionally" those are words…

I drink it frequently. It has helped with allergies, joint pain/muscle soreness. I haven't noticed any direct weight loss benefits.

What: One delicious avocado with a sprinkle of sea salt. Why: Because I do what I want.

My recipe for meatballs varies, but it usually looks something like this: 1 pkg organic ground turkey 2 tsp chia seeds 2 eggs 1/2 c. sun dried tomatoes, diced fine 1 tsp. garlic 1 tsp. basil I found a variation for an asian spiced recipe, with ginger and garlic and sesame - I can't wait to try that one.

@ Cozumel- YUM! I don't prep fresh herbs but I think I have to now!! Great idea. :)

I need to be alone for a minute. ;)

Great plan! Keep at it. :)

When I think about what IS changing - like my health, outlook, perspectives... you have to call it a win no matter what. :)
