Turkey jerkey? Dry roasted edamame? Almonds?

Great story, congratulations. My sister started the C25K a few years ago and has since fun 3 marathons. Me, I'm still in the thinking about it stages. Would like to get some more weight off, before I think about it seriously!

I drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. In the morning, while I'm in the beauty chamber, I drink a 16 oz container of water. When I get to work, I have one cup of coffee and then I drink my 24 oz bottle before I go to lunch. I drink another 24 oz bottle before I go home. Then I typically drinkg another 16-24 oz when working…

I wear makeup and my hair is done when I go to the gym, but that is because I come straight from work. However on the weekend, I get up and go to the gym, looking like a completely different person sans makeup and coiffed hair!

I take classes so my peeves are different that all of yours. People who come in 5-10 minutes late and stand directly in front of me (where there isn't really room). I get there a few minutes early, or at least on time to get a spot I want and now you've just messed that up for me. Also in class, when Zumba is pretty…

I picked up a few things from Target last week, I've also bought workout clothes from Kohl's, when they are on sale.

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself, I love Zumba, I take 2-3 classes per week depending on my schedule.

This sounds really good, thanks for sharing!

Oh absolutely all the fresh, healthy items are more expensive. Sad that the cheaper affordable things are boxed mack and cheese and rice, etc. My grocery bill has gone up considerable since I've changed my eating habits.

My gym has a "drop in" fee of $5 per day, just a thought

I log my coffee, but I drink it black. Same with tea, I dont add anything to it
-
Good discussion as I try to like greek yogurt as well, but I have issues with texture, I will try the Dannon one someone mentioned. And make sure it has a little fat. Thanks for asking!
-
I hit the gym for the 4:30 pm classes, I get off at 4, so this is when it fits my schedule. I start work at 7, so I can't see myself being a morning workout person.

I have to avoid them, one free day will turn into 3 or 4 and then I'm back on the slippery slope.

I absolutely eat my b-day cake. That being said, I have found for me (and its taken YEARS) that the 6th, 7th, 8th bite of whatever doesn't taste as good as the first 3 or so. So I tend to have a few bites and totally enjoy it then stop as opposed to just wolfing down the rest (of whatever I'm eating). Enjoy! Happy Birthday!

Right on!

I use Trader Joes canned chicken in broth to make my taco soup. 1 cup of the canned chicken 1 cup chicken broth 1 cup black beans 1 cup pinto beans 1 cup salsa I put it in the crock pot, top with cheese and avocado if you desire.

As a big gal myself, I definitely recommend a Zumba class. I have the DVDs and never once used them. I find I do so much better in class and being with people. and once I got over my stinkin thinkin (oh there's the fat girl what is SHE doing here) I had a blast. Everyone has such a good time. My instructor says the only…

I love Zumba, started classes at the beginning of the year. I take 2 a week. The one gal is ok, I like her routines but she is so quiet that you can't hear her cues above the music, even while wearing a mic. She also isn't very exciting, throwing an "awesome" or "good job" out there occasionally. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the other…

Trader Joes has a season blend mix that I think is called 21 Season Salute or something to that affect (effect??). I can't be 100% sure but I think it's salt free.

I like this answer!

I've been doing Zumba since Jan, I love it. I now go twice a week. My teacher says the only rule in her class is to keep moving. She said if you get lost, march or dance in place. After a few times you will get it and it will become a lot of fun. Also the teacher makes a big difference.
-
Jump right in and enjoy yourself. this advice coming from a very overweight person who avoided the gym because I "knew" everyone would be staring and pointing at me. Nope. Most people are involved in what they are doing and dont pay attention to what you are doing. I have had a few people ask me if I liked a particular…

My tall non fat lattes are 90 calories, latte's are mostly milk and a wee bit of the coffee.

I find weekends are hard for me because I'm not on the same schedule as I am during the week when I'm at work. M-F I eat great, get all of my water in, etc. Weekends, because I sleep in, my day gets started later, dont think about drinking water, my week of planned meals has run out, etc. I have to be very conscious…

LOL thanks for sharing, they do sound wonderful!!

2 Wasa crisp bread with a wedge of laughing cow cheese, 6 slices of turkey, cucumber and tomato. Like and open face sandwich.

I cook egg muffins on Sundays for me to grab and go for breakfast during the week. I will cook dinner for the week as well (this week its meatloaf) and that will last 2-3 nights. But I'm boring!
