We spent a good part of December on vacation, and I worried about this before I left too. In the end, it wasn't bad. I didn't log, but I had been doing so for long enough before we went that I had a pretty good idea what I could eat without going totally overboard. When we went to restaurants (which we did a lot), I…

Wow! That's awesome! I've gone from a 12 to an 8, and it feels really good. I can't imagine seeing that drastic a change. Way to go!

Keep an eye on Amazon. I tracked my Asics for about a month, and they just dropped by $25.

I didn't really set out to lose weight, but I did set out to get in better shape. I went for a bike ride with a 40something friend of mine, and was totally wiped afterwards. She's a good five years older than me and complained about how out of shape she is. My DH lost 30 lbs and got in much better shape several years ago,…

I just made the sweet potato shepherd's pie (yesterday's post). It was yummy! Even my kids loved it.

I like: 1/4 cup egg whites 1/2 banana 1/2 cup almond milk 1/4 cup strawberries or blueberries Adjust amount of almond milk to suit how liquidy you like it.

Yup. I'm trying extra hard to stick to my goals this month, because we're traveling in early December and then there are all the holiday parties and extra eating at the end of the year. I am trying to bring down my cholesterol levels, and go for a recheck in mid-January. That's the only thing keeping me from baking up a…

I'm in for this one: SW: (Starting weight) : 166 CW: (Current weight) 160 GW: (Goal weight for the month); 155 UGW: 150 Weigh in Dates: 11/1 160 11/8 11/15 11/22 11/31 I am thankful that I got myself onto an exercise and healthier eating plan before I went for my physical last month. I am happy I am decided to do this for…

I do Leslie Sansone's Walk off the Pounds. I get up early and do it before the kids wake up. That way taking care of myself is looked after before my attention is pulled in a bazillion different directions by the kids.

I made this for dinner tonight. It was super yummy. I didn't have any turmeric, so I used curry instead. I increased the amount of cinnamon, because we love cinnamon. I also added about a cup of baby spinach in the last 15 minutes of cooking to add to the veggie content. We all loved it! I might add some raisins or other…

Yum!

I'm adding this to our menu plan for next week. Always looking for different crockpot ideas, and we love Moroccan food. I don't see any reason why you couldn't substitute thighs. They might cook a little more quickly than the breasts, depending on how thick they are, but slow cookers are usually pretty forgiving in terms…

I really like Leslie Sansone's Walk off The Pounds. I have the 5 Really Big Miles one, but there are several others. You might search YouTube for a sample workout.

I've been doing light workouts with a cold for the past few days. I actually feel better (tired, but better) for the first few hours after the workout. I've crashed and needed a nap in the afternoon, but the immediate impact does seem to be one of feeling better. I am doing the Leslie Sansone Walk off the Pounds workouts,…

Thanks! Those sound really yummy. Has anyone run them through the nutritional calculator?

Yum!

Yum! Does anyone know of a good substitute for self-rising flour? I'm thinking regular flour plus baking soda or something like that.

YUM! I'll have to try these :)
