Try roasted sweet potatos! Cut them up and toss with some olive oil and salt and roast them then divide them up for each day. I think they taste great cold and they give me a ton of energy!!

Try an exercise app. I use Sworkit.

I agree with Barb, just below you. You can't let yourself be side tracked by one bad food decision, or even one bad day. Just pick up your healthy eating again with the next meal! It is helpful to have some hard, concrete goals set for yourself ( you can put these into MFP on your personal settings page). Then remember…

Try smoothies. Add Spinach or Kale, avocado and some frozen fruit. You can hardly taste the vegetables if you mix this right. Look up some recipes.

My maiden name was Adam. Every morning my mom woke me up by saying "Up and at 'em!" But I thought she was saying "Up and Adam" like it had something to do with our name but I couldn't figure out what she really meant. It wasn't until college when I read this saying in a book that I realized what she was actually saying and…

I go to bed every night looking forward to the next day's coffee!! I freakin' ...hold on....(gulp) LOVE coffee!!!

This is an excellent post!!! Congratulations! You are inspirational!

Darn. I was super interested in seeing the response myself. I am very interested in obtaining my license and have read the NASM book but have not STUDIED it as I am still deciding which program is best to sign up through. I think NASM is quite expensive but maybe it is worth the cost? Just not sure. Anyone??

This was a great post. Wondering if your desk job is in writing!

This.^ And Dairy.

Spin Class! I hate it. But I love it.

Move to AZ and you'll never have to worry about it!

I've had a cashier ask if we have animals, like rabbits or something because of all of the leafy greens I've purchased!

LULULEMON's Tata Tamers are the best! I am a 34DD and I don't move an inch in these.

I did this. I was down to 115 still with a saggy belly and tons of stretch marks. Had the skin snipped (not a full tummy tuck because my muscle structure underneath was solid. Dr. quote, not mine. :) ). Now I have a large scar but flat belly.

I also gave up dairy and had similar results. My stomach functions so much better without. I only by organic milk for my kids to eat with their cereal. My only exception to dairy is the occassional ice cream on a weekend.

I should clarify. I use Dr. Junger's Clean Book as a guideline. There are certain foods I allow that he does not, like coffee and strawberries! :wink:

I agree. I don't see anything offensive in these posts. I follow Dr. Junger's Clean book which means no dairy at all.

The ziplock bag trick works! I do that!

I don't drink soda, diet or otherwise for my own reasons. But, to address your question about it being "worse that coffee". Coffee isn't bad! Read this. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/giving-coffee-break

I have actually seen someone doing this!! I did think they were crazy. Perhaps they were actually very sane....

I would have claimed to have eaten breakfast already and then, since you were conducting a training, given it away to someone who got an answer correctly. They would be the "lucky" winner of two breakfast sandwiches that morning!

Oh my gosh!! Just got that email! "Help yourself to pastries and fruit outside Dr. O's office." At least they mentioned fruit but going to get the fruit means seeing the pastries. No thank you!

Someone mentioned this already but I will expand. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, they have tons of good take-and-go options or frozen meal options. Their ready made, individual salads are fantastic (watch the dressing on some). They also have some great hot-cereal options in the frozen food aisle that are individual,…

Exactly what I do. Except Thursdays. Not sure why I picked that day.

Weekly at the same time with the same amount of clothing on (or off).

I love this! The voices in my head have the same debate every run!! When I run, I prefer to run alone, however I have found that I love boot camps and the group environment there. Apparently I am pretty competitive so I begin to compare myself to those who look like they are in better shape than I am and try to keep up or…
