I use Vega One Natural powder. I like it more than Shakeology because it's almost nutritionally identical, $70 cheaper, and it makes me feel wonderful. I know if I don't have some. I mix it into a smoothie with spinach, banana, strawberries and almond milk. It's a full breakfast, super good for me, and gets me some serious…

To each their own. I hate working out at home. I love the atmosphere at the gym and it motivates me to work harder. If I'm at home, I'm ADD bunny and I get distracted or lazy and won't do my workout. I get super bored super fast when working out at home. I don't have anything to watch, compare myself to, etc. But my Mom is…

The Blood type diet tells me I should eat lots of red meat and dairy. I am SEVERELY allergic to Dairy, Eggs, Poultry, Shellfish and Beef. Full of crap that diet is.

My biggest pet peeve is that only calories are entered and NOTHING ELSE. Or I go to enter some steamed broccoli and I end up with 2500 mg of sodium on my diary. I don't get how people can enter it so wrong.

And this is what I'm talking about...

turboamber has some great zumba and turbokick workouts on youtube. There's a few entire Body Combat classes on youtube (I have rounds 39, 40 and 41 saved) Loads of yoga.

I stopped tracking my sugar for this reason. My morning smoothie goes over my daily allotment. If I eat anything else with sugar, I'm way over, no matter if it's good or bad sugar.

Thank you. I've been vegetarian most of my life, completely since 15. I've been vegan since 21. I'm 32. I can't eat corpse. I can't eat hormones. I don't see the draw. I tire of the "meat is tasty" and "I can't live without cheese" bs, especially when it's directed at me, posted on my FB page or on my food journal here.…

This is good advice. It can help some, but for me, none of the above (including doctors, medication, therapy) have worked long term because I have yet to find the real issue causing me to binge/purge. For me, it happens at random times. If I don't eat what I want or crave for instance, I risk "blackout binges" as my…

I usually have a few almonds, an apple and peanut butter, oatmeal, or a vega one shake.

I don't see dumbells working for the back moves, some of the chest/tricep tracks. I use dumbells on the leg tracks and most of the shoulder moves thanks to having neck issues (can't hold the bar behind my head). The current bicep track works with plates or dumbells (it's designed to be used with plates) but I don't know…

Please, PLEASE take the medication. I was on it for 9 years. I gained weight, was still tired, didn't think it was helping and decided when I lost insurance to just stop. Biggest mistake ever. I set myself into a horrific spiral that took 5 years to culminate. I have severe dizzy spells, neurological problems, and my…

Also, join the Happy Herbivores group on here. Loads of information and recipes there as well.

Beans, Nuts, quinoa...

Want more disturbing? I work at a title one school...meaning my students are poor. Most are on free lunches. Most will get their free lunch every day and free breakfast every day. Most will find .50 or more for chips and a powerade or some crap like that. Most will then not touch the lunch given to them and throw it away,…

My favorite place! I can be a bit of a tea snot I adore their chai blends and the almond biscotti mixed with snow geisha (a cherry blossom tea) Other than that I do like Lipton's premium Mandarin Orange and Wild Berry teas, Nile Valley Spice Hibiscus Mint... I have a drawer full of tea.

So many! I'll put a few down. I rotate these through the week. I'm working on a BBQ seitan salad but have not found the combo I like for the sauce. what I'm eating right now: 3 c. Mixed salad greens 1 c. Spinach 1/4 c. sesame ginger tofu 1/4 c. quinoa 1/4 c. carrots, beets and yellow squash mixed and grated about 10 cherub…
