  • Holy cow what a list! :love: I personally have really been rocking out to the Matt and Kim album Lightning. About 85% of the album is perfect for running or whatever you want, especially the first song (the single) Let's Go. I use the other couple slow songs for a cool down. Also love the new Passion Pit single Took a Walk.
  • Ok, so I started level one this morning. It kicked my butt, and I'm ashamed to admit that I quit after the first circuit. :sad: However, I wasn't about to just give up, so this evening I restarted from the beginning and finished the whole thing! Yay! If you try and give up, just try again, because you'll be so proud of…
  • I've been eyeing this program for a while. I can get it on my Roku through Amazon Prime, and I think now is the time to start. I always work out in the evening, because it works best for me, but I've read a lot recently about working out in the AM, or even splitting your workout into two parts. Here's my plan: get up a…
  • I watched the documentary Food, Inc. about 6 months ago. Haven't eaten another fast food burger or chicken sandwich since. Tortured animals + nasty bacteria + corn-subsidies-contributing-to-the-ridiculously-low-cost-of-red-meat-and-soda-and-junk-food = nausea. I just avoid the drive-through altogether, except for an…
  • It comes from being too careful - you go from eating whatever you want whenever you want, to suddenly watching everything that goes into your mouth. Sometimes we become a little overly careful and avoid any calorie-dense foods. I'm dealing with that myself right now. I fill up on healthy, low-cal stuff and get towards the…
  • I made this soup last week, and it is to die for! Rich tasting and super filling due to all the veggies (including roasted poblano peppers - so easy!), and a cup and a half is a mere 200 calories! Pair it with a few tortilla chips and you're living large! (Or not so large...) Easy to make vegetarian, too. I think I might…
  • Wow, so many Missourians! I'm from a smaller town about 70 miles south of STL. I love to drive up to the city to catch plays and concerts and stock up at Trader Joe's for healthy food...*cough wine cough cough* It's great to see so many of us midwesterners getting in on the healthy weight loss action! :)
  • I'm always running late, so my choice is usually a hard boiled egg and a low sodium v8 to take along. A cold hard boiled egg can sometimes be hard to eat alone, but I think the v8 helps it go down a lot better, plus veggies! If you're doing the veg thing, quinoa is really filling and a complex protein source. I like it…
