Fire Roasted Tomato.... topped in brie (in my pre-MFP life)

I'm not a mom, but I just got an email from SparkPeople about busy moms and exercise... --- Do you feel more like a chauffeur than a parent? We all know that exercise is important for us to stay healthy, but between cooking, cleaning up, budgeting, homework help, and—oh, yeah—sleep, who has the time? Next time you feel too…

Isn't it kinda 6 of one and half a dozen of the other? If you eat 1733 and exercise, then your net is between 1200-1400. If you eat 1322 and eat back your exercise calories, then you also have a similar net?

That looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Might wanna start tracking your sodium intake, too. I know for me, carbs and sodium make me retain water, which makes me crazy when I weigh in and know I've eaten within my calorie range and exercised. If you fuel yourself with 1350 quality (not stuff like cake, pie junk) calories, like lean protein, veggies, etc, it might…

First day of C25k Week 4! And I didn't die!! Woot! lol

Luckily for me, I had put all my too-small clothes into trashbags a year ago to donate, and then never did! I'm donating sweatpants and jeans each time I go down a size, and have been buying jeans a size down on Coldwater Creek's site when they have a big sale ($17 a pair!), that way I have them ready to wear. I went…

I googled soluble vs insoluble fiber and found this article.. It might help? http://www.webmd.com/diet/fiber-health-benefits-11/insoluble-soluble-fiber?page=1 (Sorry, don't know how to hyperlink here)

This! Sooooo much easier than dealing with water. I don't put mine in a muffin tin, I put two cooling racks on the regular oven rack and just lay out my eggs. I put a cookie sheet below in case one is having a bad day and leaks. The texture of the whites and yolks is perfect, not rubbery or discolored.

Krystal Chicks! 300 calories EACH! That's more than a Chick-Fil-A chargilled sandwich! And the Krystal burgers are 130 each, but I can't just eat one, or two.. or three. :sad:

Whoa! I've lost a toddler holding a human head! Only one cinderblock to go!

Those little powdered donuts. When I was a kid, my nose was really small and always stuffed up, so I'd have to inhale before I took a bite of food. Yea, I'd inhale with the donut right about to go in my mouth, and the powdered sugar would seriously almost choke me to death. Still can't even think about eating them as an…

W2D3 of C25k today! JM Ripped in 30 on my off days from C25k. Woot!

Great job!! You've worked so hard and look amazing!

Awesome job reaching your goal!

I treat my weight loss like I'm managing a project with a budget (it's kinda what I do with my job). My calorie goal is my budget limit, and I'm not allowed to go over! It's worked great taking the "feelings" aspect out of it and letting the logical part of my brain take control, because seeing it as only numbers makes…

I'm doing Day 2 of Week 2 tomorrow, and I'm enjoying it! I never have been much of a runner, even before I got heavy, but doing 5Ks seems to be a fun social sport! Looking forward to making friends with people who like to keep moving!

129 days; 33 lbs!

New shoes Fresh paint My perfume (Lovely) Autumn

Good job on completing, everyone! I was down 6.9lbs from when I started - yay! And I feel great!!

W4D4 over! Sorry about your HRM, Jamirah! :( boooo

Yesss the chocolate peanut butter is yummy! I prefer whey over the soy, because soy can mimic estrogen in the body, which I don't want!

W4D3 down! Yeah, those burpees are killers. Can't imagine doing them with the pushup like I've seen in other workouts! I like this level better than level 3 though (I must be insane)!

W4D2 done here too! Almost didn't get it done today, cause of work... so hard for me to do it in the afternoons, but it's over!

I was thinking to change things up to do C25K maybe starting next week or the week after, and do a JM workout on the off days... unless I decide to do the JM Extreme Shed & Shred instead! Anyone tried that one?

Welcome back to one-derland!! great job!!

W4D1 down! That first yoga-ish one was hard for me too. I was excited because I was able to do the last abs exercise! Last time she had me doing situps, it was a real struggle, so yay!
