I take 1/2 cup of regular egg beaters and mix with cinnamon, and soak 2 slices of arnolds bakery light whole wheat or 7 grain bread it in. cook in a skillet with non stick cooking spray. in a small pot, I heat 1/2 cup frozen blackberries and 1/2 cup frozen raspberries. once the french toast is done, and the berries are…

bump. do you think I could use whole wheat flour?

anyone have any good suggestions for roasting them? ie - directions?

oh, I love it so much... so much so that I can probably eat 3 bowls of it. it's a trigger food for me - sigh, I love it so.

I've started lifting weights at the gym. I now alternate an hour of cardio with half hour of cardio plus half hour of weights. I do like the idea of cutting out sweets - I definitely need to do that too since I have a terrible sweet tooth. I'll really be hitting the fruit hard to compensate.

well, since I know I have no self control (someone brough dunkin donuts to my office yesterday and I had a pumpkin spice one - 300 calories - when I should have just gotten the glazed which is 180), I try to avoid those situations at all costs - avoid the drive thru, save the calories and the money!!

I use almond milk for my protein shakes since it's low in calories. I've had home made almond milk which is better than what you can get in the stores though.

I've done cheat days or meals - most of the time I come out even since I am exercising those days. This week has been bad though - on tuesday I had forgotten the healthy lunch I packed, and when I got back to the office after working all day outside and not really eating, I had 3 slices of pizza that had been ordered. I…

resist! have a piece of fruit or a slice of whole grain bread. choose to eat the healthy options if you need to eat something.

I really try not to have unhealthy things in my house, and try to buy preportioned things to help portion control. I also try tno to carry cash because I am more likely to splurge on subway if I have $5 in my wallet, but would never put something that small on a credit card. Also, if I do need to buy lunch, I only go to…

do a search for pumpkin spice cupcakes and apple cake. both have been posted recently and are excellent

you don't want your body to be in starvation mode and hang on to fat since your depriving it of the added nutrition it needs to compensate for your work outs. I log the calories the machines at the gym tell me I burn, but I try not to eat all (may 60%) of them since those machines tend to be wrong. when I get HRM I'll be…

sounds great

my mother's a terrible snorer and when we travel together, I have a terrible time sleeping. I've tried ear plugs, and hate the ones that are squishy and are supposed to expand in your ears since they fall out in the night. When we were traveling in Europe, I found some wax ones which actually confirm to the inside of your…

bump! sounds great

thiis is a great site. I joined after I graduated from vet school, and did well until I started my job at a clinic in NY - the techs at my practice (and some of the doctors too) love to order dominos, bring in donuts and have other unhealthy things around. I have no willpower, so I've kind of stalled since starting work.…

I'm working through the couch to 5K program and find having a goal helps me stay motivated. of course, I go to the gym, so the weather doesn't really affect if I exercise or not.

I just went back to the gym after a week of getting rid of a cold. I didn't jump right back into my couch to 5K routine since my breathing still isn't great, but it felt good to sweat!

this was AMAZING, made it last night. SO GOOD. I actually cut it into 36 small squares so that the servings are smaller.

sauteed baby bella mushrooms with bok choy with shrimp. throw in some garlic and some soy sauce (low sodium). last night my BF cooked pork chops and I made some butternut squash gnoochi and steamed broccoli - it was de-lish.

cookinglight.com, cook yourself thin cookbook, hungry girl (cookbook and webpage).

I made a carrot cake the other week with one cup ground almonds to replace some of the flour (the recipe called for it) and it was great. there was some regular flour in it too though. I just threw almonds into the food processor until I had enough of it ground up. I don't know how well it will do if it's not fresh,…

I LOVE coffee, just can't have it without cream or half and half, so I drink tea since I like that without the additional calories that I consume with coffee.

I would see a doctor

what's the measurements/volumes for that custard and how do you prepare it??

I'm at a conference this weekend - lunch included and happy hour reception after the sessions today. I tried to keep it moderate but am about 1000 calories over, and today is my rest day from exercise. I've been good all week so I am not going to stress it and get up and hit the gym in my hotel before going back to the…

I LOVE subway - chicken breast on honey oat.

me too! I've lost 9-10 pounds and want to get another 5 off and haven't seen a budge in the scale for a bit (maybe 4 weeks). I'm hoping my C25K training will help. I've also started drinking tons of green tea.
