  • Same boat here.......continued to exercise a bit, but fell head first into the bag of chips/plate of BBQ/Mike's Hard Lemonade for about 2 weeks! So this AM back here to MFP looking for some motivation/inspiration. I'm just trying to remind myself how shi**y I have felt the last two weeks and how great I felt before…

  • I am an omnivore. The meat I eat is usually wild game that I harvested and processed myself. Most of the fruits and vegetables I eat are from my own garden. I only hunt animals that I will eat.

A chiropractor helped me in just a few visits with deep tissue massage/manipulation breaking up the adhesions in the plantar fascia and lower legs. It hurt like *&LL while he did it, but…

  • hardboiled egg, string cheese or 1 oz (weighed/measured) nuts, fresh fruit. I eat in the car weekdays so I do wash it down with coffee (gotta have a little sugar, this is a deal breaker) and lots of water.

  • what about just tossing the potatos in a little Olive Oil and sprinkling with some seasoning.....then oven roast? I layer them on a baking sheet, use Trader Joes 21 Salute seasoning mix which is salt free....bake about 367 degrees F 30-45 minutes. Stir them around/turn over about 1/2 way thru. That way you can…

  • I know that here in Eastern Washington state there is one CRNA program at Gonzaga University. The requirements are that you have the BSN and the critical care experience, so you may be able to skip the MSN step or get that degree along with the CRNA designation. The program here is quite competitive so grades and work…
