Thank you so much!

Thank you Bunnymum!

Thank you for all the information bdubya. I hadn't seen the support group. I'll scamper on over. :)

Thank you for the responses gentlemen. :smile: Garry, pushing through the exhaustion is exactly what I am taking on this week. That and being more faithful with logging on here. Also- no worries about the random friend add! JM, congratulations on getting out from under all the medications! That has to feel great.

Thanks darlin. :flowerforyou:

bump!

I wanted to be a writer and a counselor, and to work with adolescent girls- I wanted to get married, have a big family with lots of kids. I was initially a youth ministry major, but left school when I became pregnant. At just shy of 32, I've worked in medical billing and now customer service with retirement plans, which I…

Bump! I'm trying to incorporate more meatless soups into my brown-bag lunch routine! Thanks!

I think you might be my new hero. Congratulations on your accomplishment! Off to do my evening workout DVD that I'd been hedging on. :) Thank you for the motivation I needed tonight.

Type 2 here. Add away if you like. Could always use another ear or two that understands!

bump!

I do the steel cut oats as well, cooked "al dente", and toss in cinnamon, half a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey, half a chopped apple, and some walnuts. It feels like you're eating mostly apple, with a little chewy mixed in. (I make 2 servings at a time, then just reheat the other portion the next day)

Zhena's Gypsy Tea (free trade, organic, and they have a large variety). Particular faves are the Ambrosia Plum white tea, the Egyptian Mint Green Tea, and for evenings, they have a non-caffienated Red Lavender tea with rooibos, which I am absolutely crazy about.

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/06/perfect-iced-coffee/ I use this base concentrate, made from either a can of cheap espresso or a pound of Starbux Iced Coffee blend (sister's a barista and occasionally hooks a girl up). I put it in an ENORMOUS glass dispenser in my fridge, and it lasts me 3.5 weeks, having one…

Oh, I love you. Thanks! My daily spinach salad that I take to work every day was starting to tick me off. :)

I just cook healthier. I'm a single mom, with a 10 year old son. In some ways I lucked out- he HATES carbonated drinks, his favorite food is brussels sprouts, and he likes artichokes on his pizza. But he also likes corn dogs and macaroni and cheese. He can demolish a bag of popcorn, but his Halloween candy can sit there…

Eggs.

So this And a really really good pair of jeans that makes my tush look FABULOUS.

done. Off to take a cool shower now.

As a big girl, I tried on a number of Asics styles, and found that I really like the cushioning/ gel soles for me as I (attempt to) run. I liked them so much I bought a second pair of Asics cross-trainers for my workout DVDs. Best advice though, is to get fitted at a running store (Admission- I was far too embarrassed, so…

Done. Still a sweaty mess, but I'm hoping I'm less sore on the morrow. Today was a bit rough getting up, and stairs weren't really my friend.

Awww. :) Thank you for deciding to post. You look fantastic! Congratulations!

Done. I'm a sweaty filthy tired pig. LOL. Off to the showers.
