Bump!

I'll have to try these if they keep for a week! Once classes start again I don't want to fall into my drive through breakfast again!

I am pretty sore today, but I also worked last night which was probably bad timing for the walk on my part haha. I still feel good about it though! Going to take a rest day today and see how I feel tomorrow! :)

I work third shift, so I have my diary set up as midnight - 6a, 6a - noon, noon - 6p, and 6p - midnight. I log midnight - midnight. My body doesn't care what time it is getting the calories, as long as it is getting them! Plus, I don't usually follow the normal "breakfast, lunch, dinner" routine. I try to eat SOMETHING in…

I usually try to get my sugar cravings taken care of with fruit, or if I HAVE to have something that isn't healthy, I'll go to the grocery store with 3 dollars (and ONLY 3 dollars and my driver's license) and buy a single serve ice cream.. I think Blue Bunny and Hagen-Daz have tiny little containers of their more popular…

I've been slacking so far, but I know I can catch up!! :)

I have been trying to go for a walk right after work. I find that if I do that, I can take as long of a walk as I want, and I sleep better than when I don't. The only problem is with the long hours I usually work, I don't always have the motivation to go right after work! (I'm also on my feet all night, so sometimes that's…

Is anything particularly stressful going on in your life? I tend to crave the "comfort" foods more then. Also, when it's coming up to that time of the month.

I don't usually follow set meal times. Instead I have my food diary set up into four sections. 12a-6a. 6a-12p. 12p-6p. 6p-12a. I don't always stay up at night when I am off work, so this way I just put whatever I eat into each time accordingly. The only rule I have for meal times is that I make sure I eat something in each…

I am definitely coming back to this thread a lot! I have been dying to try making my own sauces!!

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing! :)

This sounds delicious! I'll have to try to remember to make this for my vacation in a week and a half! Thanks for sharing! :)

I'm from the Waukesha area! :)

Saving this to try next week! Thanks!

I just had this today with an apple! Yum!

When I had my first gym membership. I used to go late at night so no one was there. (It was a 24 hour gym.) One of the first times I went, there was a girl there on her phone. I was tying my gym shoes, and had my headphones in. She didn't know I could still hear her, and was on the phone talking about how I was fat, and it…

I love lemon water, but since it isn't really easy to carry lemons around with me, I've been using True Lemon. I also use True Lime when I need to mix it up. Anyone else try these? It's so handy to be able to throw a handful in my purse and take them along wherever I go! Especially considering the water at my work has a…

I'm in!! I'm going to aim for 50 and see if I can get more! :) And people can add me as a friend too, if they want! Just mention that you saw me in the challenge thread!!!

That's around what most of my meals are if I'm not doing a lot of snacking through the day. 3 meals would put you at 1200-1500 calories with no snacks. If you work out, you can eat back those calories as snacks if you're still hungry! If I have a day that has a lot of snacking, I'll have 200-300 calorie meals, which would…

I work third shift, and they like to change my hours around a little bit so I don't always have consistent bedtimes or wakeup times. Plus, I change when I sleep based on what is going on for the day. Instead of meal times, I log into a 12a-6a, 6a-12pm, 12pm-6pm, 6pm-12a. If I am up all night, at midnight I log for the next…

The only way I stick to my goals is by planning. I work third shift, so planning for 2-3 days in advance is amazing! If I plan for a whole week, I tend to get too bored with my food.

A few years ago now, I had a meeting with a personal trainer. He asked what my goals were, and took a measurement of my shoulders and my wrists. He said that with my frame, 200lbs would most likely be in an athlete level BMI. (Assuming I did weights like I intend, and not just got skinny fat.) I'm 5'10" by the way. Because…

I have tried both, and calorie counting works easier for me than points. I can't always access the info I need to figure out the points of something, but calories I can do. (I'm not at a point where I am getting picky about the macros.) I say, whatever works for you, go for it. If you want to try MFP, I would go for it for…

I'm also a night shifter! I do alright at work now that I pack salads and snacks to go with me, but my off nights are the roughest, if I stick to that sleep schedule. It certainly makes things more difficult!

Sometimes not indulging a little makes it harder. If you really want that sliver of cake, have it. Just watch the portions. The more I deny myself something I want. the worse I binge on it down the road. If I behave and have just a little bit of something, it satisfies my craving and I can move on without dwelling on it.…

I've read about people cold brewing their coffee overnight in the fridge, but I don't have the fridge space, since I share my fridge with 2 other people. Instead, I have an ice cube tray that I fill with cold coffee and freeze. Then I either make coffee earlier than I plan to drink it, and let it cool. Add the ice cubes,…

Molly is Monster, and Patches was Goose. Smokey is generally called Goofball or Silly Dog.. sometimes Lover Dog because he makes googly eyes at me.

Also, I've found that if I make sure I eat SOMETHING within every 6 hour period of time, I don't find myself scarfing everything in sight and I can make healthier choices. I don't get a break at work, but I do make sure to sneak a snack in even if it's busy. There is no way management can reprimand me for getting something…
