Thanks so much! I feel GREAT today! The only downside is that I'm SUPER hungry since I didn't eat much yesterday, but everything I want to eat is on the "junk food" list. I was thinking of making a protein shake, but mine has chocolate protein powder and peanut butter in it, so would that be a no-no?

I've felt like poo all day today, so the only exercising that I got in was the strength exercises for today. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow! Here's my stuff for today. Cardio: Possible 12 points + Bonus miles in Part 1 Part 1- Time for walking...My goal is 15 miles. My total so far is 3.67 miles out of 15 miles.…

I agree with the price matching at WalMart. We get the ads for all the surrounding stores (especially the Mexican grocery stores) and price match at WalMart. I get boneless skinless chicken breasts for .99 or $1 per lb. and produce for a fraction of even WalMart's cost. Plus, I use coupons on anything that I buy that I…

My pancakes are made from whole wheat flour. My waffles are made half whole wheat flour and half white flour, but all other ingredients are healthy (no sugar, no salt, banana, oatmeal, flax seed, etc., so I'm going with healthy???

Another question: What are your all's 5 meals for the day? 3 meals and 2 snacks a day? Does it matter which 2 snacks they are? I normally do an afternoon and an evening snack....but I'm not sure what to snack on now....hmmmm....

Lynda, you are correct on the bonus point for the strength part of the challenge :) And Renu, I don't think there's one day this week that I'm going to get a point for the food challenge. I eat almost everything on your list. Quick question, though, would homemade waffles and pancakes be considered a pastry? I'm cool if it…

I'm in again. Gives me the extra push that I need :)

I totally agree with this, Rain. When we go out to eat, I let my boys choose the main entree (since we don't go out very often) and then for the sides, I *try* and get fruit/veggies, if the place offers it. If there is milk, they get it, otherwise it's water. I do hate, though, that to get healthier options or to NOT get…

I learned this from a blog that I follow and it actually works. Take head of lettuce and do NOT wash it. Just tear in pieces and place into a tubberware type container. Take paper towels and get them wet (damp, not soaking wet) and wrap all lettuce. What I do is line the bottom of the container with the wet paper towels,…

I'm looking forward to this week's challenge. I need to get some more walking in, so I love that this pushes me to do it, even when I really don't want to. Also, I can't wait to get some more recipes for dinners. My family is getting kinda bored of the same old stuff over and over again (it doesn't bother me, but I know my…

You all are doing so awesome with everything! Congrats on the weight loss and especially being able to handle the stressful situations with food. I struggle with that and I can definitely understand.

I'd LOVE to do another mile challenge for cardio this week. I usually do a lot of walking, but having a challenge pushed me to do more. I woke up earlier and walked longer/farther than I would have without the challenge. Apparently I need things to push me, LOL. As for the recipe, I forgot to vote earlier. My vote goes to…

You are amazing! Just thought I'd let you know that ;) I had 2 c-sections (first one emergency and second one planned), but I was terrified of labor and vaginal birth, so I was begging for a c-section when I first found out I was pregnant. I think you would be a WONDERFUL doula :)
