Love Handle day 4 complete. Missed days 2 & 3, but will make up one tomorrow instead of a rest day. Good work everyone! Let’s keep it up.

Day 1 of the Love Handle challenge complete! It was a good burn.

I quit smoking on August 13th, 2011, about 56 weeks ago. I figured I have saved about $8,000. it has been the hardest and most rewarding decision I have ever made! My husband quit on 1/1/12 and it was one of the greatest gift we could give ourselves and our toddler daughter. For everyone who struggles with nicotine…

good idea ... will have to try that :)

you avoid all wicker furniture ... just in case

Arrogant, early 20-something co-workers who think it is absolutely appropriate to: 1. wear flip-flogs and tank tops to an office environment 2. believe an 8 am start time really means 8:45 to them 3. leaving dirty dishes in the break room when there is a functional diswasher 4. leaving the coffee pot empty on the burner 5.…

Famous Dave's BBQ - the "normal" menu is outrageously bad BUT they have a "Citrus Grill" menu that entices you with smaller portion sizes and side dishes under 100 calories, which is great but they don't tell you for example, the Salmon plate is only 600 calories and the Sodium is over 2200!!!! What is in Salmon and…

Food Network's "Chopped"

In plain sight. My husband is not going near anything that say Lite or Fat-Free!!! Why are you hiding the healthy food?

There is no way this story can have a good ending. The poor son/nephew will suffer the most!! My advise is to scrub this woman from your mind and move on. Find someone who hasn't given birth to one of your relatives.

When I am rich I am going to hire someone just to make us breakfast during the week. Who has time to make an omelet on a Wednesday morning?

I wake up at 6:30, have a cup of coffee at work and then breakfast at 9:30. I usually have Special K w/ skim milk or cottage cheese w/ fruit.

Accountant & Part-time Student ... love my job :)

Peanut Butter - 2 slice of whole wheat bread and 2tbsp of creamy peanut butter = 500 Calories :( What??? It pushed Sunday breakfast too almost 1000 calories .... bad bad

To wear a pair of sexy red high heels and making my hubby rock hard on the dance floor.

My husband is not 100% supportive either, he is by no means mean or intentional hurtful but he doesn't understand the concept of tracking calories. Sometimes I think guys internally over-react when woman are making such a bold statement about improving our appearance. I think they begin to worry that if we are "cleaning…

Thanks for the great suggestions. I've never heard of overnight oats but I am definitely going to give it a try.

I know how you feel FireGirl; when you are eating right and exercising you feel great!! It is so easy to stop the healthy habits because of a small bump in the road such as one bad eating day or skipping a day of exercise leads to 2 weeks of counter-productive activities. Before I quit smoking for good I did the same…
