  • When you do have to get up to go, don't turn a light on. Maybe put a night light where you have to have some light to get to the bathroom. That helps me get back to sleep faster when I have to get up.
  • How long of a lunch hour do you get? Take the opportunity to walk around the block or walk laps around your building briskly.

Bake at like 425 until crispy. Then toss with frank's red hot that has been heated up in the pan with about 1 Tbsp butter. Make your dipping sauce…
  • Any of the Robin Miller cookbooks (she's on food network) are centered around quick fix meals and cooking a lot of stuff at once to use for another dinners later in the week. She cooks almost everything relatively healthy or easily modified to healthy. Love her!

  • The Healthy choice steaming entrees are actually really good. Any of them! I particularly love the Sesame chicken (tastes like take out) and Roasted Chicken Verde (add a little extra taco sauce or salsa). Yum!
  • I have this same problem as well. Last night was really bad. It's usually worse when I don't work out that day. I decided to drink some water, go to bed early and read for a while and it got my mind off of it. Then I got sleepy and there was no issue. I do however wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and crave…
  • OMG I love poptarts too. Boo! Now I want a strawberry frosted one. Good thing I don't buy them.
  • I just started. Went to my 4th class tonight. I love it and I'm getting addicted. Have you lost a lot of weight doing it? Do you get toned up from it alone?

I took them cupcakes out of the oven after 10 minutes when the edges were golden and they weren't quite done, so I popped them back in for 5, still not done, adding another 7 minutes and hopefully they don't burn. My…

  • My favorite baked potatoe toppings are marinara sauce, cottage cheese (just a few tablespoons), steamed broccoli, and a sprinkle of parmesan. Its like a veggie lasagna potato. Yum! Also good is greek style with chopped up chicken, broccoli, a squeeze of lemon, I can't believe it's not butter spray, sprinkle of feta cheese,…
  • Rhubarb is amazing in coffee cake. Just sprinkel some frozen chopped rhubarb or fresh at the bottom of any healthy coffee cake recipe and bake. So good. I usually toss my rhubarb is just a tablespoon of sugar or some sugar substitute. This is also good with any berry, especially blackberries.
  • Sorry I should have mentioned these are shelled pumpkin seeds. You can buy them like that, most of the time they are called pepitas when they are shelled. Also use shelled sunflower seeds. And if you cant find pumpkin seeds any other kind of nut or seed would be good too!
