I'm only cooking for one, so I usually eat the same thing for about 3 days with minor switch ups with the type of fruit or protein I'm eating. I even cook my oatmeal and quinoa in advance (each Sunday) and then just heat up a single servings to cut down on prep time. Bfast: 1/2 Cup Oatmeal + Honey + Apple + Black Coffee…

http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2013/04/crunchy-cashew-thai-quinoa-salad-with-ginger-peanut-dressing/ This quinoa recipe was recommended to me by another MFP user over two years ago. It is still my favorite. It gets better with time, so I make a batch and store it in the fridge and piece of it for about a week. Enjoy!

I bought two 3 pound dumbells, two 6 pound dumbells, and the Women's Health Magazine Big Book of Exercises (http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Health-Big-Book-Exercises/dp/1605295493/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420594468&sr=8-1&keywords=womens+health+magazine+book) and even though in the beginning I could hardly do a recommended…

30 days will go by faster than you think!! I know this might sound silly - but pretend fast food doesn't exist. Four years ago I'm pretty sure I was addicted to Taco Bell. :-) But then I moved to a town where the nearest fast food restaurant is 300 miles away. My first couple visits back to the city I would always stop and…

"Have you lost a ton of weight?" Uhh, yes...but why are you asking? Wouldn't losing "a ton" of weight be pretty noticeable? Thanks for reminding me how heavy you thought I was! Haha. And BrownEyedBett, you ARE pretty! :-)

This probably sounds silly, but I drink a 12 oz. can of lime flavored La Croix. It is basically a club soda with a little flavor to it (0 calorie, 0 sugars, naturally flavored) but the carbonation seems to give me a "full" feeling and makes it feel like a treat unlike regular water. I don't drink one everyday, but I do…

Thank you for the replies. Great support. Guess I have to sit down and evaluate some necessary changes. Lifting heavier seems like a viable option. Only down to 24% body fat...so I've got a ways to go, I suppose. Diet is pretty clean right now, but it could always be cleaner (no beer on the weekend?! D'oh!). I have been…

Open Face Poached Egg Sandwich 1 Slice Dave's Killer Bread Thin Slice (only 70 calories with 4g Protein, 4g Fiber and so tasty!) 1-2 Poached Eggs (only takes 4 minutes in simmering water, easy clean-up!) 1 Roma Tomato sliced 1/2 Grapefruit Black Coffee I once asked a 92 year old woman what habits she attributed her long…

I didn't know what the Daniel Plan was either until I read this thread. Although I can't say I'm interested in going this route, I'm disappointed to see how many people are getting caught up in the religious aspect when these forums should be a place for advice and encouragement, not judgement. I would consider myself…

I was also hoping to see "calories burned" when I entered in my strength training exercises. The only solution I've found is to select "Strength Training" from the cardio exercise list and enter the number of minutes. Not sure how accurate the calories burned estimation is, but its something! The higher caloric burn the…

Thank you for the post. I also, often, feel like a complete douche. It is hard to forgive myself for letting things get out of hand. But honestly, the fact you have recognized it at 20 pounds instead of 50 is FANTASTIC. You don't have too far to go to get back on track and its going to be so fun to put yourself first…

I had the same reservations when I bought my treadmill. I live in what I would consider a flimsy, second story apartment. It seems awful loud and I'm not a very graceful runner but I've never had any complaints. I asked my downstairs neighbors and they haven't heard a peep. Also, my Mr. works nights and heads to bed just a…
