Well this worked out great! I just made one of my favorite meals -Orange chicken. But I made my own healthy version of it. I didn't use sugar, only liquid sweetener, used low sodium soy sauce and instead of juice from concentrate I used an entire orange cut into small pieces. I had it with a small cup of brown rice instead…

I also had to look these up! I have done something similar before just didn't recognize the name. Uff..it's gonna be a tough one for me today but I'll give it my best. :)

A very close friend of mine recently lost his 6 yr old nephew. He was very ill with cerebral palsy and was very close to him. I keep in touch every day trying to lift his spirits and also so that he knows he always has a chance to talk about him if he wishes.

Thanks for the heads up on the challenge..I can get this done tomorrow morning :)

arms, chest and abs are sore like hell today..only thing I can do is sit..oh dear...this is gonna hurt! here we go! :) have an awesome day!

it's on! :)

I think you write to the crew's Capo and they in turn post the results for the group in the challenge board? I think that's what I read.

uff! gonna feel my arms tomorrow.. :)

Thank you! can't wait for tomorrow :) Have a lovely holiday!

Aprile all the way! woohoo!

Just think about the injury that will MAKE you stop running for longer than a day. I got a bit over zealous with it too and it got to the point where my calves were in so much pain even walking was difficult. Don't let it get to that point and then be benched for a couple weeks (or longer) to rest them. Alternate…

same here guys! feel free to add me too..can't wait for this to start :)

yup, I'm in Germany..I'll try to check early enough though so I can complete my challenge for the day

It's soldier for me! need someone to kick my behind and get back into gear :)

Use a mixer to combine some light yogurt with frozen fruit of your choice..add a dash of sweetener if you like..and you have instant ice cream! 100g light yogurt 150g frozen raspberries dash of sweetener

that's interesting..I'm a spoon! good to know.. :)

I'm also 5'2" but I have a medium frame..for me 100lbs would be too small but that's just for my body. I know for us shorter girls any extra weight shows very fast! So it all depends on your body and how you feel. BMI is just an idea and it isn't set in stone as most people here like to preach. Look at your body, your…

I'm so sorry you went through this. It wasn't your fault. A child is not to blame for being abused. Unfortunately there is no 'getting over' child trauma like this. It is something that follows you for the rest of your life. However, you can get help and make it more bearable. You can learn ways of coping and dealing with…

chunky runner here.. ;) got the bug last year and I love it! feel free to add me

you look wonderful! :) congrats ..

Count me in and everyone feel free to add me if you like! :) ..and like the others I would also like to know more about the challenge..

I put my foot in it last night. Not sure what the results of that will be but I think I definitely hurt his feelings. I had washed one of his sweaters and hung it by a window to air dry. I told him he should put it inside the closet now that it was dry and he said well it needs to be ironed first. To which I replied..no it…

I used to struggle with the same issue. In fact I think a lot of us still do and will for all of our lives. However it doesn't mean we can't learn to lower those negative voices. I went to see a counselor and part of dealing with this was having self compassion. She also directed me to this http://www.self-compassion.org/…

I would say my emotions are tied to food..specially certain comfort foods. I can go for weeks without these foods and eat well but then I go back to them if I'm faced with a difficult situation. In that sense I suppose it is similar to an addiction. I haven't beaten it but I have reduced this behavior. For example, one of…
