I didnot do so well either, only 1 day last week of swimming laps. It was a tough challenge. I do like the new healthy recipe idea with the posting. I am always looking for new ideas for dinner especially but breakfast foods are good too. Heres to a great new week:drinker:

I stole a recipe from someone last week thanx! by the way 1/2 cup oatmeal 1 egg 1 mushed banana made like a pancake yum

Well we took the kids to the pool today and I did a bunch of laps (lengthwise) across the pool, I have not done that forever. so I guess that counts for my exercise but I only did it one day. Better luck for me next time I hope.:cry: I have been thinking about that couch to 5k and logged on to coolrunning.com to get the…

what she said. really sorry to hear about your uncle

busy!!! countdown to school and all plus trying to figure out my exercise for the week, and its wednesday already. I am such a slacker. help!!:cry:

Its tough I know my son (my baby) started kindergarten last year, it was tough watching him getting on that big kid bus going off to school but it is such a good experience for them. they get to make friends and learn alot. my son had so much fun in kindergarten last year he is doing it again this year. My older child, my…

I could use some suggestions as well, on a new exercise activity for the week. I have been doing p90x for the past 9 weeks and its very regemented(?) so I could use a little help with this one. I did great last week no late night snacking for me, I almost broke last night when my hubby and I were watching tv I was so…

in order to lose about a pound a week my goal came up a little over 1300 calories a day before exercise, I am starting to understand the whole reasoning behind eating your exercise calories, but on some days it seems hard to get over 1200 calories but yet I am not hungary. Is there something high in nutrition that I can…

:smile: The results from last week look fine to me thanx for the post. Doing great so far this week no late night treats for me. last night dinner wasnt until 8 I hope that doesnt count Have a great weekend:smile:

Just bumpin for the recipes :wink:

I can totally relate, if I eat a huge slice of watermelon or a lot of grapes it sends my sugar intake sky high, but I am assuming that the natural sugar found in foods is better than processed kind. Not really sure though

Join the crowd, I fell hard on sunday it started off with a breakfast sandwich from dunkin donuts and went down hill from there. A nine hour car ride (there and back combined) with fast food runs to keep the kids happy and then the crappy food at the soccer stadium yuck!! Good news though the scale did not go up thank god!…

Truthfully snacking before bedtime has never been a problem. I eat dinner around 6 or 7, get the kids ready for bed and then do my p90x exercise of the day so by then its after 9 sometimes closer to 10 and then I am so tired food is the last thing on my mind. The hardest part of the day is around 3 or 4 in the afternoon…

I have been slacking this week big time. I was going to mow the lawn for my mile yesterday but it rained, my yard is a huge rectangle and I always make sure to go up the sloped side and across the flatter side. Today though my husband and I took an hour walk through downtown colonial Williamsburg and across the William and…

Mon 08/03/09 11:46 AMOkay, I plan to take a 1 mile walk tonite before I eat dinner and then around 8 pm I will do Chest, Shoulders & Triceps with Ab Ripper X. This is a good challenge. I need to get more cardio in. Have a great week everyone. Jennifer :0)~ how far into p90x are you? I just finished up week 7 and I feel…

I am not much of a walker but sure I give this challenge a try. I did go on a bike ride today can that count for something?? I did great with the water last week considering that is all I drink anyway. I do not like soda its yucky and juice is too sweet I would rather eat an apple than drink juice ditto for grapes. anyhow…

I just ate almost an entire pound of strawberries yum yum yum:love:

I wish I could say the same. Today was the last day of summer school and chick fil a donated lunches to all the teachers and staff and you can be certain it was not a salad. I gave in and ate a fried chicken sandwich and bag of chips. I did say no to the brownie but of course that was easy I do not like chocolate.:sad:

The name brand is 4-C. I find it in walmart near the tea/ice tea.

Count me in I love challenges.. water for me is easy that's all I drink so 8 glasses a day it is. For those of you who like the Crystal light- its made with aspertame which has been known to cause cancer in lab test. I switched to 4-c flavors on the go because they are made with splenda.

Growing up it was a lot of carbs and not the whole grain high fiber kind either. Bagels, muffins, bread, pasta, potatoes with gravy etc etc...

I eat a clean breakfast everyday. An egg white omelet (I do add in one whole egg) with cheese and some type of veggie. today I did spinach other days i do green peppers and onions.

I also do protein shakes after I work out, I just use the generic whey protein due to price. I add in a cup of organic soy (lactose intolerent) and frozen fruit to make it thick yummmm:drinker:

I just put mine to public so view away. if anyone would like to comment (please do) good or bad I am always up for suggestions on how I can make my eating cleaner and healthier:happy:

I am so glad its not just me. sizes are weird. when I was at my heaviest a few years back at about 172 i wore a 14 then at 150lbs I wore a 12. now at about 132 lbs i have sizes 4-8 in my closet. weird!

I love sweet potatoes, I think they are a little healthier than the white types. I bake them and cut them open and sprinkly cinnamon on them yummmmmm!!!!!:smile:

I have a slow cooker recipe similar to the salsa one Chicken pieces salsa can of black beans (drained and rinsed to get all the sodium off) can of mexicorn (drained) thats it slow cook on low for 7 hours or so Yummmmy!!:wink:

OATMEAL COOKIE ICE CREAM SOUNDS SUPER YUMMY MAYBE SOME FRESH STRAWBERRIES- I LOVE FRESH STRAWBERRIES:love:

I make a full pot of coffee every morning so I use about 5 scoops of grounds, I just mix in the cinnamon I dont measure it, it adds a nice taste not too over powering and sweet like some of the flavored coffees and cinammon is supposed to be really really good for ya.:drinker:
