I don't do anything after I leave the gym except drive home and hit the shower. I love sweating on purpose, but not being sweaty afterward. Had to explain that to my husband last weekend when we went to a car show and it was nasty humid to the point where you sweat by just existing. He said "well you sweated just as much…

Feeling like a total amateur (which I am) in here! this was taken in 2005 with a kodak point and shoot, and is unedited. this was the picture that made me realize that I can make art with a camera. however, I still only have a kodak point and shoot. but at least I always have it with me.

I sometimes have to make myself have a snack at the end of the night just so I'm not 2-300 under calories. I usually make it something I enjoy but can't always have, like chocolate or a cookie or something else kinda bad. I try to make sure to eat a breakfast with lots of protein in it, because if I just have cereal or…

First: Boyz II Men, suppose in the mid 90's. Last: Beirut (on tour for the Rip Tide), last November. Pretty good firsts and lasts, actually. One of my favorite bands to see live used to be Less Than Jake (pre-Anthem album, they put on some really fun shows. like firebreathing and crowdsurfing a giant inflatable penis!)

Success! That is one sweet-looking shadow, Curiosity. Good luck out there.

Hopefully the risk is well worth the reward, and the landing goes smoothly. It's so exciting to live in an age where we are going to do geology on another planet. (I really think this should/could have already happened, but I am glad that it is happening now!)

have you checked out the computer simulation on eyes on the solar system? I am mesmerized by the telemetry and visualization!

I make enough oatmeal to last me a few days at a time, and then when it's time to eat it I will put whatever fruit, nuts, cinnamon, etc into it that I want. Most days I have that or a protein shake. Cook dinners that reheat well, make extra and take the leftovers for lunch. When I do eat out, like yesterday my husband took…

My friend and I use a "little kid voice" for extreme sarcasm, and to make our coworkers think we are screwed in the head. Which of course, we are.

I struggled at first, but now I think my body thinks it is part fish. Start slow. If you feel like you are having to force yourself to drink water you won't want to. Once I bought myself a couple of refillable bottles, and keep them filled all day, just sipping from them every now and then, I now drink plenty of water. On…

Here is what I just had after my workout today, I am calling it the "Beyond Blueberry" for ... reasons. lol. 3/4 cup blueberries 1/2 cup Silk orignal almond milk (usually I use blue diamond but this is what I have this time) 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder 1/4 tsp Watkin's Caramel Extract Comes in just under 200 calories…

Nope. Then again, I make a decent portion of my living by the use of my hands, so there's that. Plus a lot of my hobbies kinda require opposable thumbs.

Sure why not go a little crazy this week! :) Weekly Goal: 3500 Mon: 655 (Zumba) Tues: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 655 Left to go: 2845

[Coffee and a tofu scramble! So tasty and high in protein: 1/4 block of firm tofu, pressed 1/2 cup baby portabella mushrooms 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes Fresh basil Spices, such as paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, turmeric Low fat mozzerella or vegan cheese (whatever I have in the house) I saute it in a tablespoon of…

Working overtime for weeks straight leaves little time on weekday mornings for cooking breakfast, so I make white rice or oats ahead of time. Weekdays: Oats with cinnamon, sugar and vanilla and an apple White rice with milk, sugar and raisins (or a side of grapes) White rice with two scrambled eggs (with a pinch of sugar…

Try dimming your monitor when it's dark inside. Sometimes we work with only half the lights on in my office because ours are really bright to the point where they can be bothersome. When we go with half-light I dim my monitor and it makes it much easier to work with that way. Don't forget to give your eyes a little break…

This. You may not need all 8 glasses every day, and some days you might need more. But keep an eye on the color of your urine. It will help you gauge how much you need.

I just bought a tracking scale after having my more basic scale appropriated several months ago. I will be officially weighing myself on Sundays (starting tomorrow) but I had to get on it to test it out tonight and I am happy to report that since that last time I got weighed (the first week of this month at the dr's) I…

I gained my first week, probably because I was making myself drink more water. Don't get discouraged, you just have to experiment and find what works for you! Best of luck to you!

I'm a bit under 5'1" and my SW was 190. First goal is to hit 160, then 130. After that, I'll have to see what I want.

I would try each out. I find exercising on machines to be incredibly boring but you might find that you like one better than the other.

1 ) Leftovers 2 )Half turkey sandwich and either veggies and yogurt dip or a small soup from the deli near my work 3 )Protein shake (I mix the juices I want in my blender bottle and then put the shake powder and ball in a snack baggie, then mix when it's time to have it. 4 )Veggie burger (surprisingly good) or chef salad…

We didn't get fat overnight, and we won't get fit overnight. Don't be so hard on yourself, it sounds to me like you are doing fine.

I have to agree with everyone else, you have a lovely shape. Also, an astronomy-themed tattoo. That's extra hot!

I found that the grocery store my husband works at carries Noosa. Oh my goodness this stuff is amazing! I bought raspberry and mango, eating some of the raspberry right now!

Makes them feel better about themselves. If you tell yourself a lie often enough you will believe it, and they believe this crap that they spew.

You will never see me blonde. It takes far too much work and doesn't complement my skin tone well. Light brown is about as light as it gets for me. If I do lose enough weight I will cut my hair short because I used to love having short hair but my hairdresser won't cut it until I lose weight because it would look awful.

I am frequently an *kitten*, and sometimes I do things wrong. I drive badly on occasion and I don't always have dinner on the stove when my husband comes home from a long day at work. But the hubby still loves me, and my boss still likes me, so I must be doing something right. ;)

I try to use as little mayo as I can get away with, but I love chicken salad with curry powder/mayo/celery/raisins/onions.
