  • I'm in! Crushed the June challenge so I am feeling overly confident.
  • I'm getting there. Vacation next week with lots of walking and activity planned.
  • You are such a great cheerleader! I couldn't do it without you! Great job with the challenge too!
  • No walk last night because of a broken down car on the way home (maybe entertaining the 2 year old in the car while we waited for the tow truck should count :wink: ) I did manage to get Monday and Tuesday though. Hoping to get extra in tonight and tomorrow to make up for Saturday. I know I won't get much in that day, but…
  • My in-laws live right between Milwaukee and Chicago and I have been trying to figure out what to do with the little guy (he's 2) when we head for a visit this summer. Here is a website with a list of stuff for Milwaukee that I am trying to work off of. I haven't gotten to Chicago yet.…
  • Active 2 year old that loves walking and hiking makes getting some cardio in easy when he's cooperative.
  • I did a horrible job updating my tracker daily but I kept track. I know I won't get a walk in tomorrow because of my niece's graduation so I have to call the challenge done today. I didn't make 50 this month, but I still did more than I had been doing and I need to look at the positive in that. I committed to about a mile…
  • Really hoping the weather forecasts are wrong and I can step it up this weekend. Here's to hoping the weather and my tendon holds out!
  • Just made a supper yummy salmon recipe for dinner last night. 1lb salmon 1/4C maple syrup (the real stuff) 2tsp soy sauce 1garlic clove minced Combine syrup, soy sauce and garlic in a bowl. Place salmon in shallow glass baking dish and pour mixture over it. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees…

  • I didn't get in as much this weekend as I hoped, but something is still better than nothing.
  • Getting back into the swing of things. I can do this!
  • Question: I saw the tickers that people had set up and went to create one. Now, how exactly do I post it here?
  • I don't know if I will make 50 as I try to get back on the wagon but a goal is a great thing to have! I'm going to try!
  • I don't use canned "cream of" soups for recipes because I don't like the ingredient list on the can. I found this recipe to make my own (it is really easy) freeze it, and use in place of the cans in recipes. They even include a substitute list for ingredients to accommodate food allergies and dietary choices.…
  • Fingers are crossed for you that it isn't an infertility sign. I went through the testing because I was becoming irregular and started to panic ( was 38). Fortunately it all worked out and hopefully for you it is just your body's way of reacting to changes. Best wishes!
  • Love this! Great post and great loss! Way to go!
  • I turned 39 less than a month before my little guy was born and he'll be 2 this week. I'm here because I want to be around for him and be as active a mommy as possible. I don't want him at 20 to be worried about my failing health because I didn't do anything about it when I had the chance. Friend me and we can do this…
  • We have found them at Old Navy.
  • My toddler loves what my husband has deemed "bananacado" which is simply a mashed banana with half a mashed avocado. It was among his very first foods and it stuck. We now have it as a smoothie with some vanilla yogurt and a splash of milk. I like avocado as a sandwich spread or mixed with a little salsa as a dip. I also…
  • I was curious about the same thing and asked a woman at work that is a lifetime member. I did really well with the old points plan but hated points plus. I was hoping they had changed it up some. She says all the points etc are the same that the points plus plan has been for a few years now. The big push is that they are…
  • Check out websites like Once a Month Mom and others that specialize in OMAC (once a month cooking) I haven't mastered the once a month thing, but I prepare everything for the week (or up to 2 weeks) on Saturday and Sunday while my little guy is napping. I work full time and the last thing I want to do is prep dinner…
  • In the slow cooker with soy sauce garlic and ginger, high for 2-3 hours low 6-8. I serve with some rice or quinoa and veggies. If you bake them and are iffy on when they are done, use a meat thermometer. Chicken drumsticks (actually all chicken) should register 165.
  • Love my slow cooker for go to meals. This week I am doing boneless chicken breasts with some light ranch dressing and buffalo sauce, shred when cooked through (I leave them on all day while I am at work - about 8 hours on low) hubby and I eat it on salad and my 2 year old likes it wrapped up in a tortilla. We also like all…
  • Another great site is http://onceamonthmom.com/ Lots of great freezer recipes for the crock pot as well as for the stove top and oven. One of the contributors has also adopted a Paleo lifestyle so some yummy Paleo recipes for the freezer too. Some of the bells and whistles of the site you need to subscribe for but you can…
  • Love the original post and love this.
  • 1 cake mix (any flavor but chocolate or spice are my favorites for this) 1 can (regular size) pumpkin mix together put in prepared muffin tin or papers and bake. Sooo yummy and low fat because you are leaving out the oil and eggs. They are very dense (the chocolate ones are more the consistency of brownies than muffins) My…
  • Yay! What a great feeling! Keep it up, you are doing something right!
  • ^^Can't wait to try this tonight! I usually add Cajun or Greek seasoning to mine. A little dry ranch dressing mix is good too. I just spritz with a little olive oil and sprinkle something on.
