  • And then use the turkey bones to make soup stock afterwards! Just freeze in an ice cube tray, then when frozen, pop into a ziplock bag. Instant stock cubes for sauces! Or freeze in a jar for making soup :smile:

  • Grow your own! My hubby & I started a vegetable garden last year. For $50, we got the compost & seeds to start a 30' X 12' garden. That gave us plenty of veg (and then some) for the winter. We just picked, froze or canned it. I made soup, hot sauce, spaghetti sauce for next to nothing! If you don't have space for a large…

  • Thanks everyone for your input! My HRM is the wrist watch style, and I had to enter my age, weight, height, etc. I will definitely be using my HRM readout as opposed to MFP!

  • I compared my HRM calories burnt to MPF calories burnt when I did Zumba yesterday. The results where within a few calories of each other. And I wear my HRM when I work out in my yard, cuz I've got a HUGH yard and lots of work to do LOL. MY HRM said that I burnt over 500 calories the other day from being outside in the…

  • I :heart: ZUMBA! I go once or twice a week, depending on my schedule. Sometimes its 2 Zumba classes, sometimes is 1 Zumba 1 Kickboxing. Either way, I LOVE IT! As for food, I will NOT eat yellow beans, liver, oysters and pumpkin.

  • I absolutely LOVE my Kinect! I have the Dance Central, and have actually played it for hours on end without even noticing that I'm working out. I've recently bought Your Shape, and really enjoy the boxing work out. I would love to get the Zumba game, however it's sooo popular that it's been impossible to find. Amazon has…

  • OK, some of these posts are f'n FUNNY! LOL! My confessions: 1) Finally went & got a new haircut & color, but totally lied to my hubby about the price (which was beyond ridiculous, and I wont be going back there again!). 2) I have every intention of getting up early in the morning so I can work out before work. Instead, I…

  • Soups are great! I also make and freeze homemade chicken stock (drastically cuts down on the salt intake!) and pesto. These are great if you need a quick soup or pasta dish. Freeze the stock and pesto in ice cube trays for easy portion control. I have also done lasagna ( I buy the tin cassarole dishes from the dollar…

  • Don't give up, you'll be kicking yourself later on if you do! I work in an office setting as well, and have had a bit of a hard time adjusting to sitting all day. I used to work as a bartender/waitress, and was used to being on my feet all day. When that job ended, it was tough. So, because I now sit all day, I've noticed…
