I wish to be in perfect health, to be a fit athlete and to be financially secure. And I wish to be off my blood pressure meds by the end of the year.

My goals for 2013 are to keep doing what worked* in 2012 and up the ante: 1. To lose 52+ lbs 2. To increase bike time to 75 minutes and add in strength training 2-3 times per week 3. to reduce oil and increase greens in my meals. * eating plant-based, logging food in MFP and using my Fitbit, exercising on my exercise bike…

Count me in! I am always looking for ways to support my journey to health!

I usually look for their menu online and then try to call ahead to give them a heads up. Sometimes the staff gets into it and I get amazing food and sometimes it is a disappointment.

I held off buying the candy. I finally picked it up yesterday, bought kinds that do not call to me and then put it all out of sight until tomorrow afternoon. I will bag it up once I turn off the porch light, store it in the garage overnight and take the leftovers to my old place of work. I also bought myself one small dark…

I make a variation of the Superfood Salad. Never thought of using the mandarin oranges and pomegranite. Have to try it! I add quinoa to cooked lentils or curries. It is so high in protein. Love it!

My mother used to say "consider the source" when people were rude. What a sad and tiny life those folks must have if they need to make fun of someone. You are so strong and brave for getting out there and working on your health. Keep going. The most important person is you and I suspect that you also have a supportive…

Glad you found out about that Turkey Leg - I was so shocked and sad when I found out!! What a treat! Two weeks! Disney is so customer focused and they will adjust food as needed at the sit down restaurants. Tell them you have dietary needs when you make a reservation. They do have lots of healthy options it just takes…
