These do look super yummy!! I'v starting eating almond butter lately. It is really good! I've been trying to increase my intake of healthy fats. I've also recently started using coconut oil which is in the recipie as well. Thanks!

I'm in southern Ontario as well. I love running in the rain too!! I haven't been running in the rain since last summer. Very refreshing. (Just starting to get back outdoors in the last few weeks) I'll have to go this weekend. Cheers!

You'll get there!!!!! I know sometimes I get frustrated because it does take time to get back in shape. I find I'll really stuggle for a while then one day I'll find my fitness level takes a jump forward. I was doing modified push-ups last year. this year I'm doing full ones and my form is improving alot lately (getting…

Sounds Great! Thanks for sharing!

I take a few classes as well at my gym. I don't have a heart rate moniter. I pick the closest thing out of the list of cardio activities. ie I use Hatha yoga for any yoga / pilates classes. I use aerobics for any heavy cardio classes I do. I use strength training for resitance classses. For mixed classes I log half my time…

I take whey protein shakes. It's a dairy by-product, like when they make cheese and the whey is the clear liquid that seperates from the cheese. It comes in a powder. I lift weights and if you do so you should try to ensure you get enough protein in your diet. Whey protein is just another way to add this to your diet. I…

I take B vitamin suppliment including B12 as well. I was really tired for a while before my pregnancy 2 years ago and didn't know why. I found out during my bloodwork I was low in B12 and have beem taking it ever since. It's helped alot, I have so much more energy. I'm curious how common that is since a couple others also…

I'm Canadian, I live in Ontario but I'm from Nova scotia. Orginally from the eastern shore area. We had to move for my husbands work. I'm 34 with 4 kids. I'm trying to increase my fitness level and drop some bofy fat in the process. Good luck meeting your goals!!

Do you like other dairy products like yogurt or cottage cheese? If you get enough calcium and nutrients from other foods I would think you'd be OK. I've heard the opinion from some that people shouln't drink cows milk anyhow because our body's were not made to digest it. My son is lactose intolerant, he can't have liquid…

It's really hard to know which one is correct. I've had this problem before different scales may run a few pounds heavier or lighter. The best thing to do is pick one to guage yourself by and only use the amount from that scale. This way you'll know what your progress really is.

You should get the GI diet book by Rick Gallop. I have this plus the GI diet cookbook. Both have recipies and a list of foods that are OK and ones you can avoid. Alot of the recipes use beans, veggies, lean meat and whole grains. I'm not following the diet right now but it is good. I like alot of the recipies. You're…

Hi, If muscle building is your goal make sure you get enough protien in your diet. You need it to repair muscle tissue and you want to make sure you are not burning muscle (just fat). If you are consistantly lifting weights then I find the protien goals listed automatically on myfitnesspal are pretty low. I took a muscle…
