^This^ is good advice! My divorce has been final a year. Now, I could not be happier!! Once you are out of it, you may see that it was not healthy for you anyway; I did. Time, change your routine and make new memories. I wouldn't go back to where I was for all the tea (I am a tea addict) in the world!!!!

Get your meats and fresh veggies that freeze well when they are on a good sale and set aside a few hours to put together a few meals for the next week. Plan your main dish and side items based on what is on sale. Cut up all of your meats and veggies and basically set set up a production line. Portion out everything for…

A good one is to cook with chicken stock/broth vs water, and stir in a small amount of chicken and a scrambled egg for egg drop noodle soup (can add celery and carrots for more of a chicken noodle soup type dish). There are also a number of cookbooks out there just on Ramen Noodles....

Great thread! My thoughts on inspiring others is to just DO! I was supposed to run a 5k this past weekend but my babysitter wasn't able to keep my kiddos (7 & 4) so I opted to take them with me and do the event's 1mile with them. I could have just stayed home and not done anything, but I really wanted to go so I just…

Not sure if anyone has provided this reply but I'm going to anyway. I feel ya on the busy mornings! One thing I love that is really quick after the initial prep is what I call "Egg Muffins." Recipe: Egg Whites from 8 eggs or Equivalent Egg Substitute; 4 Whole Eggs or Equivalent; Shredded or chopped Cheese (non-oily like…

Is "all of the above" an option?? LOL Lately, though, I am addicted to the small Reese's Peanut Butter Easter Eggs.... We won't say how many I have eaten this week....

^^ This ^^ I have the same situation in my office. One coworker's wife is a baking machine and she bakes the absolutely best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had!!! So, I don't bother to resisit... LOL I have my cookie, log it into MFP, and go about my day. Maybe I run more to make up for it or maybe I adjust my…

Yep. I feel ya! Single mom of 2 (4 yrs & 7 yrs) here. I feel ya. I try to go run at lunch, but there often isn't time. That also has me leaving much later from work and I have to rush to pick up my 4yo from day care then my 7yo from after school care before they close. So, then I try to plan to run on the treadmill after…

Happy Birthday!!! I'm 43 and I can definitely say that I feel better today than I did when I was 30! So, don't worry about the 40s; your healthy changes will make you feel so MUCH younger! By the way, you look WAY younger than 40.. I'm jealous cuz I definitely look 43! hahaha However, life is even better today than even 15…

OP, me too! I still feel 20 in my head. The bod not so much, but it is still a work in progress. I definitely feel that life can be even better at this age; mine sure is! So, feel free to friend me!! :)

I say this constantly, and I do generally do it this way, though I do obsess occasionally... "Just a little tip from some PhDs regarding our love/hate relationship with our scales. If you are addicted to your scale and are compelled to weigh daily (mememememe), a good rule of thumb is to first weigh at the same time of day…

Oh, thanks! I am about 30 min South of Hattiesburg! So, I may look them up. Good to hear from you!

^^ This! I had myself a good pity party when I realized my body simply does not do well with too much simple carbs and/or sugar! Not fair I can't eat like everyone else - Waah Waah! :o) But, then I sucked up and acknowledged that you simply have to work with what you have been given in this life. Whining about it won't…

There are a couple of Group Forums you might join, too. "Low Carber Daily Forum....The Group!!!" and "PCOS and Low Glycemic Eating" are two that I can think of to which I belong. Low-er carb is not impossible, but it does take doing some homework and just paying attention. I also have PCOS, so, for ME, processed sugars are…

I agree w/ OP regarding what if you're up on the one day you weigh. So, I am a daily weigh-er, BUT I put it all into perspective... I use a little tip from some PhDs regarding our love/hate relationship with our scales. If you are addicted to your scale and are compelled to weigh daily (mememememe), a good rule of thumb is…

Awesome work!!! Thanks for posting!! You are inspiring me to finally try P90X!!! I have been hearing about it and been 'thinking' about trying it, but I'm fitness-lazy and just haven't gotten off my duff.... So, thanks for the extra push!

Wow!!!! 32:00 is awesome! I did my first 5k before I even 'graduated' from the couch to 5k program. So, I was running/walking and I did it in 37:08. My next 5k I was still running/walking because of family illnesses setbacks in training, but I was happy that I improved my time and did it in 36:36. We are doing a 10k in…

THIS is awesome! I have definitely found that quick and easy eats will kill you... LOL I don't always pass by 'quick' but I'm working on it...

Not sure how healthy it is calorie wise, but the Spinach and grilled shrimp salad @ Applebees rocks!! And I'm always a sucker for a good piece of grilled or seared fish or any other grilled/boiled/steamed seafood - Always a good choice...
