Cut off end of brussels sprouts and clean any old leaves off the sprout. Cut in half and place in a baking pan. Mix two tablespoons soy sauce and two tablespoons of olive oil. Pour on sprouts. Stir. Sprinkle on garlic powder (as much as you like) and some sea salt. Bake at 425 for 12.5 min and then stir. Bake for another…

Can you substitute until you have your certification?

Hello!? Hello? Anybody there?????? Hi all. Just got back from a week at the beach and a week's hiatus from running before that...hopefully my leg will be up to running a few miles here pretty soon (for those of you who don't know, I had a lovely water sprayer smack me right in the middle of my left shin back in June.) I…

Girl, just go rock that suit. I just got back from a week at the beach and I wore a tankini most all week. I was inspired by women of all shapes and sizes, wearing suits, because they WANTED to wear them. Just don't worry and enjoy the water and sun!

Oh yes. The masked balls....and think about the possibilities at 3-D movies!:laugh:

Wow! Congrats to you! I'm totally jealous. I've been told that I'm not a candidate, which I absolutely hate (and think about a lot) while I'm at the pool with my kiddos.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: To a quick and speedy recovery.

Beautiful! They are my absolute favorite flowers.

Don't you just love it!? My hunch is that you're making them feel uncomfortable....like, gosh, maybe I should be watching what I eat or I should be working out more. If you really watch what you eat (like measuring your portions), you have an eating disorder. Try not to let them deter you. 35 pounds is awesome. It sounds…

Just rereading the posts looking for some inspiration. I saw someone else mentioned Barbara Kingsolver. If you haven't read The Poisonwood Bible, I highly recommend it. I almost missed a flight because I was so engrossed in it!

Tami. Don't stress. You're gonna hit that milestone (prob more). Just do what you normally do the day before your weigh-in (I know you have a whole plan) and just know what you've been doing is going to pay off. (It already has been paying off.) Don't lose the faith, girl.:heart:

Janene! What a blessing! Thank goodness for the good news!

Welcome back, Memaw. Just jump in with both feet! Hope your situation is changing for the better.:flowerforyou:

So what's the word? Took both of my daughters for their annual checkups this morning.....I HATE IT!!! I hope you guys get good news. Update us when you can. :heart:

Hi All! Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm with PrincessLaundry....I'm reporting ALL of you. This thread is terrible. Upbeat people getting out there and doing good things for themselves. (unbelievable)...There are even people on here encouraging other people. Blech! :noway: Anyways, yes, I am totally jealous. My…

Hi all! I'm still recuperating here. :grumble: (Thanks for checking in with me, Tricia!) I ran 5.25m on Sunday. I felt so good and relieved that I was finally going to get back to my normal routine, but............now 3 days later, my leg is back to aching.:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: So, I'm back to Aleve and applying…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Welcome! Congrats to you on your restaurant victory! I believe mental changes occur a lot faster than physical ones. You do feel better. I know that I felt better (still do) when I decided to do something about my weight and actually followed through on my plan. You should be proud, too! Some people don't believe that the…

GOOD MORNING! Sounds like everybody is gearing up for the holiday tomorrow with some great workouts! I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!!:sad: :sad: Today was the first morning that I went down the steps that I didn't have a shooting pain go up my leg, so I think I'm getting better (finally). At least it doesn't seem like I'll need an…

Yeah. It doesn't sound like interference. Hmmmmm. I'm stumped as well. :grumble: Maybe you could get more info from the company.....GL.

My HRM acts like that if I get interference from a machine. What type of activity are you trying to monitor? Is that a possibility? Talk about unmotivating.......GL. Hope you figure it out soon.

Sunbug! If you want some motivation for running, check out the runner's club on the exercise boards. All of the folks there are ridiculously supportive and ready with any encouragement. There are all levels of people there. Some ladies are working on the Couch to 5k program. Have you ever heard of it? It's a combination of…

No. It hasn't made a difference for me. I'm at my goal.

Welp. Nothing earth shattering from the doctor today. He said we could do an x-ray, but he seriously doubted any sort of fracture because I am complaining of pain on the tibia (one of the strongest bones in the body). He suspects (the same as me) that the bruise from my sprayer has aggravated some tendon or muscle close…

<<<<<<<Where's the rolling eyes emoticon?>>>>>>> I'm so put out with my body right now......So, as many of you know, I had been complaining of leg pain last week. My doctor's appointment is today. I ran last Monday (that was the last time), but not as far as usual and now I think that my body is going through withdrawal.…

Enjoy your time with your husband and your son. I know your husband is going to think you're beautiful! I, too, have a nephew who is in remission. It is a scary thing to go through. Best of luck to your family. :flowerforyou:

Personally, I am not a big milk drinker, but I try to get in dairy servings through at least one serving of milk along with cheese or yogurt daily. My concern is osteoporosis. I would say, before completely eliminating dairy products (for which I know that there are widely varying reasons why people do), please talk to…

Best of luck! Hope everything goes well.....:flowerforyou:

OMG. That was the show that came to mind when I saw this topic. I just recently saw that it comes on ION at night, maybe 8 or 9? I also loved: Golden Girls Alice (I remember watching this one after school when I was little. I knew all of the words to the theme. Ahhh remember shows with real words in their theme songs???…

I've heard that swimming is an excellent way to burn calories, because it is efficient at working multiple muscle groups at a time. There is some disadvantage to swimming because you don't sweat (some calories are burned by your body trying to reduce its temperature.) However, I would think that disadvantage would be…

Almonds, cashews, peanuts. Any type of nut will be calorie dense......
