I just looked in the database and there is an entry for a Whole Foods chicken pesto sandwich - could it be chicken and not turkey?

I forgot to add I can also squeeze my body into two of my size 16 skirts!! I actually wore one yesterday - woot woot!

My favorite way to cook vegetables is to bake them at a high heat w/ garlic and olive oil. You can choose your favorites - any and all work - this is how I do mine: I cut all vegetables in chunks/slices - peppers (green, yellow, red), zucchini, onion, green beans, fresh tomatoes or if I don't have fresh I will throw in a…

Just finished day 7! I'm so proud of myself - this is so unlike me!!! Well, let's say it's so unlike the old me :)

I"m sure many of us are addicted to food - myself one of them! I feel that the longer I go eating healthy, the less obsessive I am regarding food. Especially since I don't tell myself that anything really is off limit. I ask myself how much do I want it and am I willing to 1. give up my calories for it and/or 2. if I'm…

I'm going to finish day 5 in just a little bit and I LOVE it!! I love that the workout is short & simple & yet highly effective!! I can already feel good results!

I love honey crisp apples with almond butter, reduced fat triscuts with laughing cow lite cheese - it is so creamy & wonderful AND for a decadent, almost cheesecake type "dessert" try Zoi honey yogurt (doesn't taste necessarily like honey) w/ a bit of granola & fresh fruit. Honestly, these 3 things hit all my cravings,…

I log it as "Circuit training, general" & it says I burn 319 calories - I think that number varies though depending on your weight? Because a friend of mine burns less calories than I do for the same things and she is just maintaining her weight.

Day 4 complete! It's getting easier and I sure can feel it!! I'm thinking I am already seeing results?? Amazing... I am just doing this every day with sporadic bike rides and walks. I want to do 30 consecutive days. My husband and I are heading to Hawaii with my sis and her hubby at the end of the month, I'm planning on…

Just finished day 3. Such an awesome workout & I love the simplicity of it!

Ok just finished day two!!

I just started yesterday - LOVE IT!! Getting ready for day two...

OMG - this is now one of my favorite meals!!!! SO SO SO yummy! Thanks for sharing it with us! I served it with a dollop of Zoi greek yogurt - the plain kind & corn tortillas. The best!! I added it to the data base under Mexican Chicken Crockpot Recipe using the nutritional values given with the recipe btw...

B U M P! Thanks!!

That could be a very long list for some of us!! One thing I'm not doing that is driving my daughter crazy and that I totally look forward to putting past me is this: When we go on our bike rides, I have to ride only the back roads!! I'm too embarrassed to wait at the stop lights... Isn't that sad?? My daughter today begged…

Sounds good! What is that western dressing though?

Maybe if you shake your routine up a bit? I try to do that especially with the exercise part. I do not belong to a gym and probably won't ever belong to one as I can't afford it so I'm trying to do others forms of exercise. I use my literal stairs a few times a week - just go up and down em till my buzzer goes off.…

I'm so sorry!! Yes, cancer SUCKS!! I've experienced it up close & personal with several family members. I'm going to go read your blog now - stay strong for both yourself & your little one!!

No clue! I wondered that myself - it's in the exercise data base...

You are right! I did a search for calories burned just standing and it was actually higher than 50. I really only posted the question to poke fun at myself but I think I'm going to just go bed telling myself I DID burn some calories! Thanks!

I love consignment stores too - this one used to me mine but I sold it my friend, hence I still have to work it on occasion. I would much rather shop one than work one!! I am hungry but only cuz I just got home and am getting ready to make my dinner and eat. Thanks for your response - I'm just being silly :)

It's not about logging it, its really can I say to myself I have exercised and then not go on a bike ride? or take the dog for a walk? I'm tired :)

Oh my heavens!!! I am going to make this tonight!! Sounds amazing. I think I will try to sub something for the sugar to make it a bit lower in calories. Thanks!!

Awesome! Thanks you two! Green ketchup - have to try that one just to say I made some! I will do the salsa too. I was leary of using them raw because I thought it might give tummy aches since they weren't fully ripe but I see that is probably not the case. Thanks again!

I actually love stuffed tomatoes - you can either do them the same way you would stuffed peppers and bake them or I also like to hollow them out and stuff them with tuna salad, chicken salad, salmon and rice etc and eat them cold. Yum! You are fortunate to have tomatoes, this year none of mine ripened because of the crappy…

My mindset has changed since joining mfp. In the past, I would have a cheat day - and it would end up being just that, an entire day of cheating, as if I was never going to see these "bad" foods again. I always felt horrible, guilty & like a failure to myself. Eventually the cheat day became day after day and I would no…

I thank you for taking your time to look into it. I think I will cut back to maybe 1 pill a day - I was taking 3. I will give it a week.

This will be a must make in just a few weeks...THANKS!!

THANKS!! I'm so rummy that I'm just not able to focus on research!!

It seems like we sabotage ourselves sometimes doesn't it? We lose a bit of weight, feel proud of our accomplishment and then somehow relax a lil because we "deserve" it, and, as you said, put ourselves into a plateau. WHY?? It's really so silly - I know I've done it time and time again. It's so wonderful that you are…
