Oops, double post, sorry.

That's a bummer. I'm sorry you're having heart issues :( How about having protein bars or granola bars in your glove box for emergencies? You could take a baggie full of sliced bell peppers, baby carrots, cucumbers, etc for something crunchy - even popcorn could make a good snack, if you get the stuff without added butter…

I plan out my meals as best I can, so it varies, but here's what I frequently get: -milk -nonfat Greek yogurt - big tubs of Fage and little individual packs -lots of berries -chicken and/or beef broth (reduced sodium - for cooking) -granola bars (I like the kind with extra fiber) -lettuce -tomatoes -carrots -cucumbers…

I like to get the sushi that doesn't have rice - usually, they'll have a few rolls that are all fish, sometimes wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber or soy paper wrapping! That way, I get to eat a little more, since the calories are mostly in the rice. Sashimi is always great, too! Also, avoid anything tempura or the mayo or…

Thanks! Next time I'll pause it during the time we're actually on rides. We don't do much sitting, mostly just standing. We're actually not on vacation - we live in California and go to Disneyland 2-3 times a month, so we figured we would count the calories because they will add up quickly and we go so often! We also don't…

I actually find it easier to log home-cooked foods than restaurant ones, because who knows who accurate the restaurants' calorie counts are, or how heavy-handed the cook is? If the potatoes are out of a bag (like the frozen hashbrown kind), measure out your serving with a scale and add in any oil or butter you might use.…

Do you have any 99 cent stores near you? They actually have a lot of fresh produce for super cheap. Just saw a news story about a guy who went on a diet by only eating things from the 99 cent store and lost 250 pounds: http://rollingout.com/health/papa-joe-aviance-uses-99-cent-store-diet-to-drop-250-pounds/ Maybe you could…

I love spin! I genuinely look forward to it, and it's helped me work out on weekends, which I used to consider rest days. If the teacher is energetic and the music is good, the hour goes quickly. I even did it while on a cruise! Get a padded, removable seat cushion if it bothers you. For the first few classes, your butt…

I stir in a tablespoon of strawberry jam. My husband blends his with milk, cocoa powder, and a little sugar to drink after a workout. Tonight, I whisked together nonfat half and half, greek yogurt, a dash of vanilla, and some strawberry jam, then put it through my ice cream maker to make frozen, non-fat strawberry Greek…

Mine definitely is (with height, weight, and gender). I am fairly sure hers is, too, since today we did a quick run on the treadmill, which didn't use her HRM to track heart rate, and her heart rate was still higher than mine on average, even though we had almost the same stats for a mile-long run, though I had a higher…
