I have created a layout of the garden I planned and planted yesterday in memory of my mom :heart: with Plangarden's free online application. If you would like to see it go to: http://www.plangarden.com/share/share.php?userFile=lavendersunday You may have to drag the rust colored plot toward the center of your screen to…

Songbird if you go to the link I tried to post you can see the veggie garden I designed. I planted a 20x20 garden with all the veggies we love to eat...tiny red skinned potatos and sweet potatos too!! It was easy to plan and fun to execute. Some patches like the watermelon, cantelope, and corn patches are prepared...not…

My mom "85" just passed last week and in her memory I planted an amazing veggie garden. :heart: She always ate whole foods and lived a healthy and full life. I hope to continue her legacy of good health and feed my family organically grown veggies from my back yard garden. :smile: I found a site that lets you plan and…

I am sorry he hurt you and yet happy you can see how shallow he is! Do not doubt your worth, beauty, or whether you are deserving of a loving companion. You were shown this situation for a reason. Learn from it. How impowering would it have been after he said this if you simply asked the waiter for the check? Being cool,…

Dear Self & Pups, No matter how long it takes me. No matter how many weeks I must repeat. I WILL do 100 CONSECUTIVE pushups! Remember self...ya gotta burn it...to earn it!! (muscles that is) :drinker: Help me out guys...I've been slipping on this really bad! Help...suggestions pls! ~Namaste :flowerforyou: Mi

Hello Pups, I am delighted to see some of you continuing to work toward the goal of 100 pushups! Yes...I have been away...for good reason though. I would like to continue posting toward this goal. For each of us I suspect there are many reasons why finding success in being healthy is so very important. How fortunate are we…

Yummm especially on top of New York Flat Bread Mini Crackers...I like plain hummus with the "Everything" flat bread. They are low fat and delish with hummus!! When I make homemade hummus I add a few drops of toasted sesame oil in place of tahini. To me it has the same effect and I can buy it in my local store.

Today is day 4/30 of Shred Level 2.

You can click on the food tab and then search for and add to a meal each of the ingredients you listed. Once you click save as a meal you can see the nutritional info you desire. Then of course delete it from your food diary if you really didn't have it for breakfast today. Hope this helps. ~Namaste :flowerforyou: Mi

By no means was it easy for me and I hope some day I can say it is. I will…

Try drinking a glass of soy, almond, or rice milk, If your stomach feels OK afterward I would begin eating that with my cereal instead. Sounds to me like you could be lactose intolerant or allegic to the milk or something added to it. I am not a professional but I do have a daughter who has the same issue.

We can learn to make better choices not just by counting calories and exercising but for other reasons...such as a healthy :heart ! READ ON>>> The Worst Thing You Could Ever Eat The worst thing you could ever eat is carrot cake, a milkshake or any other food loaded with saturated fat. In other words, anything good. Even…

Go Joe! :wink: Go Joe! :wink: Go Joe! :wink: Log your foods before you eat them if you can. Work out like boot camp. You will do great during your test. A good part of it is ALL about making the right choices NOW. ~Namaste :flowerforyou:

Mine would be big wind... got some serious issues with all this extra fiber in my diet. :tongue:

I say Shred Level 3 is like a secret weapon only to be used in EXTREME circumstances like say a corn dog AND funnel cake :laugh: . In my humble opinion a hamburger basket = Shred 1 &2 :wink: You have succeeded already by making smart choices to enjoy in moderation at the fair. :drinker: I am still at the red alert stage…

Hello Cp & Pups, I agree that our muscles need recovery so when I do shred I go down to plank and hold it to work my core muscles, I don't do a pushup during Shred because my arm muscles are fatigued and repairing from the 100 Pushup Challenge. CP you are very wise to consider your current workout schedule and tweak it to…

[/quote] I count up. I haven't counted down but I think up is better. I sometimes go over! I count grunting! :laugh: I start out whisper counting then it gets louder and ends with a grunt. My son does them to (he's two) and he grunts at the end just like I do! [/quote] Just think of the shape your son is going to be in…
