I've got three children - two girls aged 10 and 8, and my baby boy aged 4. A typical day looks like this: 4:00 AM - Wake Up 4:30-5 AM - Coffee and Breakfast 5:30-6:30 AM - Swim (5 times per week) 6:30-7 AM - Run (3 times per week) 7-8 AM - Driving to work.....listen to radio and drink water :laugh: 8AM-3:30 PM - Work…

Welcome! Are you exercising?

Multivitamin Calcium with Magnesium Fish Oil

I get up at 4 AM too! :smile: But my schedule is more like stumble out of bed, and be blinded by the bathroom lights (I can only turn them all on or all off), stumble into kitchen for coffee (and knock over the pots and pans that were drying in the dish rack from last night's dinner in the process), and by this time my…

Not related to job searches, but found this on Craigslist: Kidney. Ab. Reply to: sale-1051689253@craigslist.org Date: 2009-02-26, 11:22AM Age 36 In. Great. Health Maybe. We could. Help. Each. Other it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests Original…

I can jive...I can dance...Having the time of my life! See that girl...watch that scene...dig the dancing queen! (We rented Mama Mia - watch it twice already and can't stop hearing it!)
-
Or better yet - put it in the kids' room so it wakes them up and they wake you up and all of you are awake early! I swear kids are the best alarm clocks :grumble:
-
Go to bed early. :flowerforyou: BTW - how do you sleep in with three kids? I have three kids and I'm lucky if I can sleep in until 7 AM :laugh:

3 miles on the muddy, wet trail at my local community college, lol. (Swam before I ran) - done with exercise for today! :drinker: BTW - I got outfitted with my snazzy new Mizuno's yesterday and loving them - wow, what a difference a great pair of shoes makes :laugh:
-
- Cook and slice chicken and serve over salad - Chicken Fajitas (do you like lime? Just marinate chicken in olive oil, lime and pepper then BBQ with bell pepper and onion) - Chicken Stir Fry (they have stir fry veggies ready chopped at the store, or you can buy your own. If you like, use low sodium soy sauce, but you can…

Wow Bunny - you are an inspiration! :smile: I just started a running program last Sunday and am going to a speciality store today during lunch to get fitted with some snazzy new shoes. Excited! So far my running workouts are tame - 20 minutes today and 50 minutes on Sunday at a "very-slow" pace :laugh: The rest of the week…

If you search topics, you will find MANY topics on HRM, costs, etc. Countless times I've seen people buy a cheaper model, only to later buy the polar. IMHO, I think the polar is the best way to go - you don't have to get the most expensive one (top of the line), but a polar with chest strap is awesome (I personally have a…

Since you don't know how fast you were running - there's no way to know for sure how many calories you burned. Most people walk around 3 mph, with 4 being a very brisk walk or jog, and 5-6 mph are moving up to full running. I jog around 4-5 mph and tend to burn about 300 calories in 30 minutes, roughly. The best way to…

I second Kate Winslet - she is so composed and classy.
-
I've heard of it - but I think you will be fine just using a small plate (like a salad plate) instead of the larger dinner plats and make sure you have lots of veggies, some lean protein and little carbs.
-
Split pea soup is wonderful - especially when it is homemade. Lots of fiber from the peas and veggies. Normally recipes do not call for that much ham added to it, so fat content is usually low. Ham is added more for flavor rather than being a "meat-based" soup. I love it cuz it has the consitency of a cream soup without…

Currently I'm reading The Cadence of Grass written by Thomas McGuane. It's set in Montana and has sex, money, blood, and lots of cows. What more do you need?:glasses:
-
#2 - cool! I'm deaf, so we LOVE our terps :happy: :happy: Go for it - many people love the flexibility of freelancing (if you don't want to work for an agency) and having a "new" job everyday. :flowerforyou:
-
Wow - that's cool. I didn't know about that site. Thanks for sharing! For improving stroke and time - it really helps to have a coach watch and correct/direct your techique, then you can use swim plans to improve your endurance. It will be your technique that determines how fast you go, so it is very important to make sure…

I would join a Master's swimming club. You can find the closest one to you at this website: http://www.usms.org/ They cater to all levels of swimmers and can help taylor workout regime for your goals. I've been a swimmer all my life, and still swim with Master's everyday - love it!

Yes I've heard it and the myth is it is supposed to help with fat burning, cleansing, supressing appetite etc. Same old hype. I don't buy into it. You might notice some changes at first (which I would attribute to the placebo effect), but in the long run I don't think it amounts to anything significant. I would save your…

I don't drink vitamin water - I think it is a waste of money and calories :laugh: Tap water (with filter) is just fine, and using a nalgene bottle saves $ and landfill space. Vitamin water is usually sugar water with some vitamins, but not enough to justify drinking sugar (imho). If you want to up your vitamins, take a…

I have a ten year old daughter - so I can relate! My husband goes to night school, so a lot of the time I'm on my own with the kids after work. My DD started cropping an attitude when she was 8, and we had "the" talk - I explained about hormones, etc. and what appropriate venues she can express her feelings, etc. Also, I…
-
LOL. My husband tried that. Didn't work. FYI.
-
BTW - I went to Whole Foods last night and bought some steel cut oats. Normally I get rolled oats, but I have a crockpot recipe for overnight oatmeal, and it calls for steel cut oats. Will give it and try and see how it works!! Do they unfold to look like regular oats? I also made quinoa for the first time last week, and…

I don't consider coffeemate powdered creamer "clean" - if it is processed and has stuff in the ingredient list that are not found in nature "naturally", then I don't consider it clean. I know some people may differ on this one. As for a clean sugar subsitute, the only one that I've heard of that *might* be clean is stevia.…

If it's not working, then why don't you switch to healthy eating and moderate exercise? You might find you have more energy that way. I checked your profile, and I saw that you said you have an eating disorder. I used to be dependent on diet pills and had an eating disorder for years. It's an addiction. During the worst of…

Sliced sourdough bread with EVOO/Basalmic Vingarette to dip it in. Supermarkets like safeway or raley's now have a pretty good "appetizer" bar (whole food's is outta this world) - you can get a variety of olives and other marinated stuff to have with toasted bagette slices and some "smelly" cheeses. :drinker:
-
EVOO is extra virgin olive oil - it's just easier to use acronyms than to spell it out all the time, lol. The crockpot is the BEST timesaver - EVER, hands down! Take from me as a FT working mother of three kiddos (4 if you count hubby). CP are not expensive - I got mine from costco for $40 and it is NICE. You can find them…
