Half way through the day yesterday I remembered that yesterday (ash wednesday) is a day of fasting and abstinence, I kept one of 2. Anyway, the fast is from sun up to sun down so technically you can get up prior to the sun and have a lite meal. You are allowed liquid (I am a Catholic) so drink your water and or tea. My…

The Today show actually did a special on this a couple of months ago and the trainers said the chocolate milk pre-made with 2% milk had the best ratio of carbs and protein for post workout. For example, shamrock farms individual 2% chocolate milk would work.

First off, congrats on spelling your name RIGHT!!! And I know what you mean; up until about 2 weeks ago I was hungry ALL the time. I think of food all day long, it rules my life. However, try to get it out of your mind that you are on a diet. I eat the same foods as I always do I just now measure out the proper portions.…

In college I had a cheap one that I paid about $150-$200 for and it was a piece of crap. Unfortunately when it comes to ellipticals you do have to pay for quality. As a "congratulation for carrying out son for 9 months and giving birth to him" I requested my husband get me a good elliptical. He got me a Nortictrack…

Wow, thanks to all of you. I have been having the same issue! My husband has been able to lose 20 lbs (I know men lose it at a faster rate) in the 5 weeks we have both been doing this and he works out less then me. I have cut my cardio down to 20 minutes of high intensity interval training and has switched up my circuit…

It has already been said but the small peppermint pattie is fantastic. The minty-ness stops you from eating something else that can ruin the diet and the chocolate is satisfying enough to crave the sweet tooth.

Do you have a dumb bell in the house? I always take a 5 lb weight, set it on the scale and then make sure the scale reads 5 lbs. If it does not then I adjust it.

Oh how I miss rest, I have a newborn at home. Don't get discouraged!!!!! I weighed in today and did not lose or gain but I decided to measure myself and I lost several inches at all three areas. Keep up the GREAT work!!!

Other then the obvious reason why people get stretch marks, according to my Dr., stretch marks are mainly genetic. Your just more prone to them if your parents were as well. I got them on my upper legs as a kid do to a growth spurt and got a ton during my 2 pregnancies. NOTHING helped the ones on my stomach and I…

I personally think that doing a "diet" like this will give you the tools and foster a healthy life CHANGE. That change will give you the common sense to make healthy decisions through out your life. You wont need to count calories for the rest of your life but the knowledge you gain here will stay with you and give you a…

I wouldn't say that I love to workout but I know its key so I do it. If I am not working out to a dvd I have to be doing the workout (elliptical or other cardio) infront of the tv during a favorite show to keep me distracted from my mind telling my body that I am done before the time is up. I always tell myself that no one…

Morning all. I held off my cardio yesterday until the late afternoon to power walk with my bestie and half way through it started to poor on us causing us to sprint back to the cars since I was pushing the kids in the double stroller. Good thing I bundled them up because they stayed bone dry. But I finished up later in the…

I am excited! I also hold off on my cardio for the day and do it while I watch the show because it makes me do more then just my standard 30 minutes, well, actually Jillian makes me want to do more then just my standard 30.

Amber, thats a great idea. I am going to have to do this since my collie has a coat problem which is currently under control but this would help maintain it too. I always through the yolks away.

sorry, had a duplicate post

Good morning everyone. Trish you would be proud of me... I chewed gum last night and did not have a thing!!! I did however have an 8 oz alcohol free pina colada; I made a non alcoholic batch for the 3 prego women that were there last night. I looked at all the food at the party last night and even though it all looked good…

I eat chocolate everyday... one small peppermint patty. I just saw the chocolate cheerios yesterday in the grocery store and was taken back by them. Have not try them and not sure I will because I don't like it when cereals turn my milk a different color; something that followed me from childhood to adult hood.

Personally, when it comes to sandwich meat I only eat boreshead brand deli meat. Not every grocery store carries it. It is premium meat and I feel it tastes THE BEST!!! They even have a website so you can look up the nutrition info and serving size. Hope this helps.

I don't have any recommendations but you did mention not wanting to spend money. I rent workout dvd's from my library and from netflix that way I am not spending $20 or more on a workout dvd that I may not even like plus you get to try a lot of different dvd's with out buying them. Hope this helps.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Trish! I never thought about the gum thing, you are sooooo right. I will be popping my orbitz tonight. I hit my water easily everyday, I have to drink a minimum of a gallon to keep my milk supply up. Drinking through a straw makes it so much easier. I am definitely eating dinner before I go too. I will…

Shera- yes, I want that recipe and welsome. Trish- thanks for the recipe, my mouth is watering and I too though you were making it with reale rattlesnake until I read further. Stacey- good luck with you p90x. I have those dvds. My husband does them and they are awesome but they are still too hard for me. I think its the…

Add can of diet soda (your choice) to the cake mix and bake as instructed. I just baked chocolate cake mix and diet cherry pepsi into 12 cupcakes yesterday, delicious! The nutrition information would be for the dry mix only not the prepared nutrition information. The possibilities of flavored diet soda and cake mixes are…

My husband got them last year. They are expensive, the results are REAL but get ready to have your butt handed to you because the workouts are super hard and intense and long but IT IS WORTH IT!!! I currently don't do them because I am not fit enough to do it 100% (just had a baby 6 weeks ago via c-section). There is even…

The cowboys play today and so my DH is dead to the world. Tempted to walk infront of the tv with no clothes on to see what he does (the kids are asleep). Got my walk in already with the entire family. Will try to get in 30 minutes on the elliptical or trampoline later today since tomorrow is weight in day. Hope it goes…

Oatmeal is filling and a staple in my diet. I always have eggs in the house for my kids and I needed to get rid of some Aunt Hattie's light bread (90 cals for 2 slices together) so I have been doing 2 egg whites fried up using pam spray on toast using the bread. And I always have honey nut cheerios on hand for when there…

This may sound bizarre and I don't know why or how it works but hear me out... when ever I hit a platue with my weight the only thing that fixes it right away is eating something bad and a full serving of it. If I don't do this the platue can last 2 to 3 weeks. But yes, like the above states, all in moderation and that is…
-
Stacey- I hear you about the chores over exercise; that seems to be what might happen around hear today but I have it in my plans to go power walking after DS wakes from nap. DH is sick so the laundry and kitchen from all the cooking wont clean/do them selves. Kim- I hate it when road trip food leaves us with little…

Yup, I too do it once a week to keep the body guessing. Had a bad day on wednesday, kids made me want to pull my hair out so I made a mad dash for Chipotle and loaded up that pork burrito!

Good luck to yo with the surgery. You have come a long way, congrats! I too will eventual need this done. I have 2 children ( one 2 and one 6 weeks) and only gained 20lbs combined and that 20 lbs came off the minute they were born. I already have the hanging skin problem just from having 2 kids. I am waiting to lose 30 lbs…

Oh my... my mouth is watering. Never ever heard of this and I am running out to the store right now to get diet cherry coke and chocolate cake mix! You all are awesome.
