i just prefer to make my own frozen dinners and granola. it's so much cheaper and i know exactly what is in it. i can't have store bought or homemade granola bars in the house....they are so caloric and i don't just stop at one. I did the cals on my homemade granola bars ppl just love for me to bring...the calories are…

I love this. It really does help. I jog and sometimes want to give up in the last stretch (1-2 mins). I just really focus on my form and breathing and I make it through. Focus on the process...really works for me.

i need to second taking measurements. I gen eat w/in my caloric allotment, but I don't see the amt of loss on the scales that I FEEL like I should be seeing. However I am running and doing multiple flights of stairs at work. My body is changing. I can see it, DH can see it. So, I've started taking measurements so I can…

i am not one to advise you on the best macros for you. however, I did notice something in your post that may be beneficial. You seem to like homemade items, as do I. For your cereal, make homemade granola and use it as your cereal. I find it to be much MUCH more filling and stays w me throughout the morning. It's also a…

take a multiV to cover all of your nutritional needs since you want your body performing at its highest level, but i don't think it will do much as far as soreness goes are you stretching? warm up (move around for about 5-10 mins), then stretch and then workout. Post workout, stretch again. I often stretch between jogging…

i am not vegan but my fav vegan meal is: brown rice w a black bean mango sauce w either a side of squash, zucchini, and/or sugar snap peas

i personally like to bring homemade granola and/or granola bars. homemade granola plus milk or soymilk is your very own cereal that is actually filling. hard boiled eggs last a week if kept refrigerated. i assume you will have access to some food places: convenience store, grocery store, etc. If you drive to the hotel…

i love red wine and champagne. I hope they will always be a part of my life. I do not see the need to cut them out completely. Just count them for the calories that they are and move on. You certainly don't have to drink more just bc you got a wine cellar. IF you have a hard time not using up the last of a bottle save it…

i crave carbs w migraines and when eating them i hurt less too things i will do is have green tea w real sugar and saltines. the soda u r craving may be bc caffeine alleviates the pain. my doc told me to take excedrin at the 1st notice of a migraine coming on. (prescription pain meds intensify my migraines) i often get a…

doing great. u r such a cutie!!! i can really tell a difference in your stomach.

that is incredible!!! yay!! i look forward to doing that. that is such a sign of endurance, girl. i can run 13 mins but not all in 1 stretch...at least not yet :)

i love everything you said here. How right you are!

1 of our favs in this house is broccoli. WE buy huge bags of frozen broccoli. Completely fill a microwave-safe bowl w frozen broccoli and cover in saran wrap. microwave for 5-10 mins based on your microwave and desired level of crispness, depending on what we are having i will top it w either spray butter, teriyaki, or soy…

u r cute as a button! great job i like the feeling from running/jogging too and it fits in so easily w a busy schedule. i'm doing C25K too, but a lil more slowly than the schedule they recommend.

a quick lil healthy meal i like is baked fish, steamed broccoli, and brown or wild rice

blog.fatfreevegan.com happyherbivore.com these sites are fantastic and will give you all kinds of ideas. i promise. a suggestion i have for you is this: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/refried-beans-without-the-refry/detail.aspx i use this recipe to make black beans, kidney, etc. it's just good and really super easy. i use…

i don't think you are eating enough eggs.... j/k :p I would def include more veggies: broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, greens, etc are all low cal, filling, and keep things a moving. I also don't know if you drink water and just don't log it or not. drink lots of water, esp since it looks like you are doing a high…

my fav cereal is honey nut cheerios however my fav healthy kind is homemade granola...it isn't processed and i know exactly what goes into it. much more filling than cheerios. Waaaaay cheaper than boxed cereal too.

my pet peeve is how fast you regain but how slowly you lose.

buy frozen broccoli. put into microwave safe bowl, cover in saran wrap and nuke for anywhere btwn 5-10 mins. start @ 5 n check for your desired level of crispness and your microwave. toppings i like are teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, s&p, or spray butter buy frozen green beans and beef or ham bullion. water+bullion+onion n…

i like baking what i have found to be effective is to change what i am baking. right now i am baking a pumpkin granola. opt for baking healthy muffins, not so caloric cobblers or spiced apples. i try to limit regular cookie or cupcake baking to birthdays or special every now and then occasions vs an every week sort of…

i have many favs. right now i am baking this: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/09/easy-pumpkin-spiced-granola.html the house smells incredible. it is highly adaptable. there is no fruit or nuts in mine just based on what i have or rather don't have in the house right now. mine is just 2 cups of oats, pumpkin, brown sugar,…

watching at least 1 if not 2 star trek movies.

10 m&ms = 45 calories

we are a family of 3: 1 of whom is a toddler We often make a regular size meal and then immediately freeze some of the leftovers for a quick meal to pull out at anytime. the other leftovers go in the frig to be eaten 1 more time in a couple days. there are some things we won't freeze like potatoes. Our menu this week is…

I saw the 1st episode and really liked it. I look forward to watching more, when time is available. They are on netflix streaming btw.

i'm kinda new to the game but i'm down for this! will we just post our scores on here or is there a way to do that through the system? i also have not yet purchased any additional songs but my first 1 is gonna by psy's!

i ADORE this movie....so great!

i love sci-fi, but i am not as forgiving w horror. i gen think horror is poorly written, but can be good. I just think it's too easy for hollywood to make millions off of crap so why bother w a good script. On that note, here are a few a few horror favs off the top of my head: the orphanage, i'm not scared, the perfect…

i got it on my ps3 for christmas and am also a newbie!
