Moms seem to be the worst with the comments... I don't know why. lol Mine told me, while walking behind me in a store, "huh, your back doesn't eat your shirt anymore." Seriously?! I could have lived a million years and gone without that comment.

Awesomeness! lol I'm not alone! The meditating is new for me. Hopefully I'll do it right! I'm doing the fast day today and I just did my 30 minutes of cleaning, so go me!

Surprisingly, the miso soup that it normally comes with is fairly low in calories. With the salad, as for the dressing on the side so that you can use less dressing than they normally would. I would suggest white rice rather than fried because they use a oil and soy sauce and all that jazz and it's just extra calories if…

My daughter is 3. She has short hair because she wanted it cut that way. For christmas she's getting mainly dinosaur toys and cars. She loves to get in the dirt and dig and build. For her 3rd birthday she had a matchbox themed birthday with even a car cake. But, she still gets excited over her pink bathing suit tutu and…

I'm a stay at home mom too. First tip i scheduling. Figure out the best time for them to wake up. When they get up, for 30 minutes have a show and breakfast. Then for an hour have center time. Have a few different centers of different toys and let them play with them for 20 minutes then pick up for 10 minutes before…

First, let me start with this... YOU teach people how you wanted to be treated. You are allowing him to speak you to you in an unacceptable manner. Do you wish your daughter to speak like that? Or even worse, do you want your daughter to be spoken to like that? Think of it like this... would you want your daughter to date…

Warm homemade bread with sweet creamy REAL butter on it.

I think what you need to do in public and what you need to do in private are different. In public if they want something: tell them what's going to happen BEFORE you go into the store. "We're going into Target today. If you do not whine and act well, we will ge to look at the toys. But, today we are not going to buy any…

To start with a sushi boat. Lots of ginger. All kinds of fish. Don't forget the soy sauce. I would then have a porterhouse cooked just to medium rare topped with a parm crust, along with sauteed mushrooms and chunks of bacon in a butter sauce. On the side I would have a large baked sweet potato topped with real irish…

My goal is to be in the 'teens' by my Birthday (October 5th) Which is about 4lbs. Very doable, I think. Also, I'd like to find more venues for my produces (I'm a lollipop maker) Keep better on top of the house, it's been kind of a mess lately because I've been so busy. The extra movement can't be a bad thing.

You know, a few months ago I posted a story (I'm a writer) and I had some author's notes saying 'Oh well, you only live once!" and someone sent me a review that said 'I enjoyed the story despite the YOLO reference.' lol I asked them what the hell YOLO once. Apparently I live under a rock. I think I prefer my rock.

Oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a sliced banana. And a couple slices of bacon. Oh, and a bottle of water. I'm about to work out and after work out I'll have second breakfast which will be an apple, a fiber bar, and some hot tea.

The gym that I go to is actually a 'wellness center'. For me and my 2 kids (the kids are free if you sign up for a year) are 55 dollars a month. That comes with a free daycare, a giant indoor pool, an indoor basketball and tennis court. A ton of machines, all with TVs on them. An indoor track. There is also a kid's gym and…

A tooooonnnn of paper. I write everything down while I'm cooking about what I'm going to eat and then I go put it in after dinner. A bunch of water bottles. All empty. My small collection of shot glasses (I don't even drink.) filled random things I'm collecting like bottle caps (for crafting) and chinese fortune cookie…

Well, honestly it doesn't matter why you're losing weight. It doesn't matter if he's cheating or not and that's why he's on the defensive. What matters is that if that's how he's talking to you, that's verbal and emotional abuse. If this is something that is constant and obviously not a joking around sort of thing. (I call…

Amen! lol But I discovered MFP and pinterest at about the same time. I've gotten some lovely healthy food ideas from it too though.

Well, with my first daughter I only gained 11lbs and by the time I left the hospital I was actually 20lbs less than what I started. I only gained 2lbs with my second daughter and I left the hospital 30lbs less. BUT I was diabetic and I WAS SO ANAL about what I ate and what went into my mouth. When other lives are involved…

Because where I live 5 or 6 months out of the year it's over 90 degrees, and 3 out those 6 are over 100. I can do triple the amount of exercise and not feel like I want to die from the heat. Or worse, actually die from a heat stroke. Besides, I don't enjoy running and there is no where to run or walk where I live. No side…

I don't think any food is 'of the devil'. I do eat wheat bread now instead of white because it has more fiber in it and I switched my normal pasta for this white pasta that has WAY more fiber in it. It's like Smart taste or something. It's actually much better tasting than the pasta I use to get. I eat less potatoes than I…

I'm related to Glen Campbell the singer, he is my grandfather's cousin. (My maiden name is Campbell fyi and if you look at my grandfather and uncles they all have the same chin and the same shaped face.) More interestingly Bonnie Parker, as in Bonnie and Clyde. She was my grandmother's cousin. Also, I have a direct link to…

No, you need to gain weight during your pregnancies! It's normal and it's needed. Watch what you eat, move, and smile because you know you're bringing something good into this world.

lol Her gym must not have a daycare and a kids gym. Why don't you just use your kid as a weight? That's what I do! It's called airplane at my house and my 3yo loves it lol You know, there are plenty of exercises you can do along side your child, that seems just dangerous.

Sometimes women don't realize how much their showing. Of course, do most it on purpose but honestly for some of us it just doesn't come to mind. I'm a lollipop maker (part time. My entire family goes together at trade days and festivals to sell our crafts.) And I had this shirt that I called my lucky shirt because I always…

You may put on some water weight in the short term because of all the soduim but it's okay. Everyone has their bad days. I have this week as well. All you can do is pick yourself up and dust yourself off and start again the next day. It takes 3500 calories to gain a pound. Keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that every…

I tried the yoplait vanilla and honey the other day and it was surprisingly good. Very smooth. Even my kids liked it and they don't like greek yogurt because of the texture. Chobani is decent. The pineapple is good, if you can find it. I like the plain oikos in place of sour cream on potatoes, mexican food, and the like.…

You'd have to drink like 2 gallons of water, maybe more, within an hour to even begin to worry about that. And before then you'd most likely vomit and stop. If you're just drinking a little too much your urine will be clear. If you're drinking 8 or 12 cups of water a day there is nothing you need to worry about.

I think it would depend on the size of the space you're doing, the amount of time you're doing it, and the type of vaccuum you have. If you're getting down on your hands and knees and using the hose to get the baseboards of the hand attachments to clean vents and such then I'd say heavy. If just normal one room, light.

Ah, I don't really believe in cheating because I feel the same way you do but I do think there are meals that you splurge a bit more on than normal but I would do that any way I was eating. I'm talking about Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my birthday and my husband's birthday. It's simply the fact that I wouldn't normally go…

Let's see... Mine are: Bananas Wonder smart wheat bread Strawberries Lettuce Hershey's dark chocolate bars Oranges Spinach That's not too bad. I wish there were more veggies in the top 7 but that'll do. I understand because I eat a lot of salads with my meals with a cup of spinach and a cup of iceberg. I eat bananas and…

My husband is COVERED in freckles, almost to the point where you can't tell his 'normal' skin tone. I LOVE it. My youngest daughter is starting to get freckles across her cheeks and nose and I already feel she's going to be a bit of a heart breaker with her personality and her huggy nature... now, with freckles- yeah, I'm…
