I've been drinking 3 liters a day.. but as I minimum you should be drinking at least 8 cups (2 liters).

Sorry about your injury! I was on crutches in HS... after 4 weeks I could do an amazing number of push ups.. it was unreal. Being on crutches is a workout in itself if you ask me lol.

Well I have a family recipe (from my husband's family) for brownies. They aren't my favorite, but I used to like them and would eat them. They are my husband's favorite.. even more than gun cookies which I could have sworn were at the top of the list for the longest time. Well I've been doing really well so I made some…

Bed Bath and Beyond sends out 20% coupons all the time. I used one to buy a new scale last week. It's a WW one and I think I ended up paying $26 but it does weight and also measures a few other things like BF%.. not sure how accurate those things are but it's nice to have lol.

I can't tell you how to make it go away, but ice it for 20 mins at least three times a day and take 800mg Motrin/Advil 3 times a day. I hurt my knee a couple months ago (nothing too major) and this is what the doctor had me doing. Always take the ibuprofen with food though. I didn't really like taking 800 so only took 600,…

Finished L1D5.. and like the poster before me I did L1D4 late last night... so 12 hours apart lol. I've only got 5lb weights so opted out of using those for anterior raises (w/side lunge) today as even on a good day I have issues getting through all of them with the 5lb ones. I used two 15oz veggie cans instead lol... did…

I too have puppy issues.. but my trouble puppy is a 7 month old 60lb lab who is still in the stupid puppy stage... I try to push him away and say no and he's just like, "what mom?" and comes right back lol. He's adorable though so it usually makes me laugh. He's not too bad he just gets in the way sometimes... and tries to…

I like cooking, LOVE baking... which really makes this whole reduced calorie thing really hard lol. I do frozen meals a couple times week and have only eaten out once this week. It's easier to justify cooking an entire meal when my husband is home, but he's deployed for six months and I'm only good at eating leftovers like…

While I'm doing the workout my shoulders hurt the most (side lunge with anterior raises!)... but for the after it seems to be my calves from that stupid jump rope and somewhat the jumping jacks. I don't think it's so much muscle ache as they are just really tight. I rode the horse this afternoon (heels down instead of up…

I've been wanting to try these for awhile.. think I may actually pick some up. I can eat regular oatmeal, but can't say it's something I'd choose on any kind of regular basis and I think it's mostly due to the mush texture. I'm really weird about texture.. lol.

I'm on day 4 of 30DS, but this is already my plan. I'll probably take a week off and then start the Ripped in 30 around August 22 (monday)... it ends up being 10 days between the last day off the 30DS and starting RI30.

I'm a FULL 38DD from like 165-190... when I'm in the 145-160 range I'm a 36DD. Sooo no is my answer lol.

L1D3 done.. woo. I've been doing them in the morning, but didn't have time before work today so night time it was. I won't lie.. at one point my only motivation for doing the workout today was so I could possibly go get ice cream and still have it fit into my calories for the day lol. But I did the workout.. and instead am…

I do both... depends on the day. Sometimes I'll plan a day out the night before, but then change something (usually breakfast) if I'm just not feeling what I originally picked lol. Yesterday and today I logged after I'd eaten. I have no logging pattern lol.

Nope it's normal. I'm an hourglass... which sounds really nice but really sucks sometimes lol. Even at my lowest and a size 8, I still had the gaping at the butt issue because my midsection gets pretty thin, but my hips always stick around so had to buy pants that fit the hips. Although if you've ever watched What Not to…

I too have frozen yogurt in my freezer.. vanilla. I am also totally planning a Menchie's frozen yogurt bar trip this weekend... omg the yumminess! http://menchies.com/flavors.php They also have a bar full of fresh fruit you can add... along with all the "really good, but really bad" stuff lol.

Publix grocery stores carry hummus in little individual serving packages for those of you that can't seem to stop yourself when you have a big tub in front of you. Sabra also makes little individual packs that come with little pretzel bites.

Also make sure your scale is actually flat. Floors are always as level as you think. I got a brand new scale yesterday and the first spot I put it down in wasn't flat... I always make sure it doesn't wobble when I press down on the corners before I get on.

L1D2 complete.. at some point I'm going to actually get this dvd done before doing something else first lol. Yesterday it was mowing the lawn and today I went to ride the horse first. I also took some before front and side photos today.

Big Harry Potter fan here, read all the books and seen all the movies. Friend and I have already have tickets for opening night at the IMAX theatre. And yeah I so want to go to the theme park. I'm 26... so what?! I'll have to pass around the recipe for the shots lol.

Started today.. didn't go as hard as I planned as I spent two hours mowing my lawn today before doing it... I ask yet again why hubby couldn't have gotten a self-propelled mower. I probably sweated off two pounds pushing that mower through our insanely thick grass. I applaud myself on getting the whole yard done without…

I was bad over the weekend.. breakfast was a Luna bar and water lol. I'm not great about breakfast, but one of the better ones I do manage to do is a breakfast burrito: whole wheat wrap 1 whole egg+1 egg white scrambled 1/3 cup turkey sausage (I but the precooked crumbles so just have to microwave) and sprinkle of shredded…

I'm 5'7", at my lowest weight was about 145-150lbs.. and I probably could have leaned out another 5-10lbs. It's definitely not an unrealistic goal. At that weight I was a comfortable size 8 and now that I've gained weight back I look at pics and go omg I was so small then lol!! Now if only I could get back to it lol...

Yes, sorry QH x TB lol. He's more the QH body with a TB brain. She just bought her second horse, also an Appendix, who is the TB body with QH brain version. Personally I like them a bit quirky so TB brain all the way for me :o)

I'm starting tomorrow, finally went out to get the DVD today. Looking forward to seeing the results at the end. Will get my starting stats tomorrow as well.

First off: OMG CORGI!! They are the most awesome dogs.. and I can say that because I have one as well lol. Everyone that meets her now wants one. Hubby has even granted permission to have have a "herd" of them should I desire it. OK... moving on.. you look great, good job!!!

Eventer here as well, competed and schooled up through Prelim (3'9") when I was around 18. Grew up riding TB's, they are my love. Currently just started really riding again (after slowing way down for about 8 months and for the years prior to that not really do a ton more lol). Riding a friends Appendix that just came back…

Addict here also.. although I have moved on from diet coke to coke zero.. which has essentially the same stuff in it just a different levels lol. Anyway I would say start limiting yourself... so if you drink 4 a day, then maybe say ok this week I'm only gonna have 3.. then the next week only 2. I try and only drink one a…

I've had exactly one Slim Fast shake... the chocolate variety which everyone says is the best. Approximately 10 minutes after finishing it I had to find a gas station, run to the bathroom and throw up. Never had another one... never want to.

Thin mints straight from the freezer = YUM, has to be one of god's gifts to man. I also like tagalongs... but thin mints are my favorite.. and keeping them in the freezer will not help lol. The teachers (husband/wife) for one of my classes this semester already made an announcement about their daughter selling them.
