I keep the pit in the second half and put it in a tupperware type container or zip top bag and into the fridge. The very top/cut surface will turn a bit brown but I don't bother getting rid of it when I use the second half. Unless it was really ripe to start (read: squishy) I've kept mine for a couple days without a…

Welcome! I've been diabetic since I was 4, so 21 years now. I've been on the pump for 15 (I just had to do some math to figure that out). I work full time, but no kiddos or husband to occupy the rest of my time yet. Feel free to add me as a friend!

5 and 8 is a great time for them to start learning to bike. And then I'm sure they'll be out-pacing your walking very soon!

I have a super similar situation, just reversed. Mine is from years of stretching the one side more than the other (through the very one sided sport of Curling). If you keep working on the stretch and others that stretch the muscles around there, over time your legs should become a bit more similar! And even a small bit of…

Yes you can work out when you're sore! As long as it's just being sore, not anything extremely painful. Be sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you while you work out and if something seems way too difficult or there's a new weird ache/pain back off of what you're doing. Be sure to stretch and/or foam roll.…

Definitely this. Get some nice workout shorts/capris and you don't need anything under them. Or go for the running shorts with built in undies (I'm not a fan but I know a lot who are).

I have been on a pump for 15 years (I thought my older sister was so cool when she got one, I just HAD to have one). Every once in a while I get totally fed-up and will go back to shots... which lasts for about two days max before I want the pump flexibility back. I've been using Medtronic pumps since the 508 (ancient…

My mom always told me the same thing, and if I'm ever not diabetic I'll happily go get a tattoo that puts a line straight through it. This is what I have: http://instagram.com/p/oD5sgEGd_2/

I actually rather recently (December) got a tattoo that says "Diabetic" on my left wrist. Big enough to be legible but in a cute script. My bracelets were always getting scratched so they were illegible or driving me crazy. So I decided something was better than having nothing!

After years of eating really really bad bread, I finally found a brand which a) doesn't all apart and b) tastes good without toasting. The UK site is here: http://udisglutenfree.co.uk/. Seriously, I'll make a ham and cheese sandwich now. I had a similar struggle with pasta and the one I've found that is the best, and…

May 1-11: 49.5 12: 2.4 13: 2.8 14: 5.7 Subtotal: 10.9 Total: 60.4 Monday and Tuesday weren't good days for me. Lots of rain going on here. However, looks like I'm perfectly half way through at the half way point! This weekend I'm taking a trip to Portland Oregon and I'm really excited to go walking and hiking around out…

May 1-8: 33.2 9: 5.8 10: 3.3 11: 7.2 Subtotal: 16.3 Total: 49.5

May 1-4: 15.3 5: 5.7 6: 5.2 7: 3.8 8: 3.2 Subtotal: 17.9 Total: 33.2 Wow! Lots of people are really booking it out there! Good work!

I've got a Fitbit One and absolutely love it. I had the Zip before, and lost it and replaced it with the One. I really like that it can track my sleep. It's helped me figure out why some days I'm so hungry (I didn't sleep well!). I usually just toss it in a pocket or in my bra and can't even tell it's there. Works great to…

May (all in miles) 1: 4.5 2: 3.7 3: 3.3 4: 3.8 Total: 15.3 Now that it's stopped raining this should get a lot better! I can't wait for outdoor runs.

I've been starting my days with a big fruit smoothie with some protein powder. 4oz water 4oz juice (I generally use plain Orange juice) a small to medium banana (I cut them up when ripe and freeze them, makes the smoothie nice and creamy) 3/4 to 1 scoop of protein powder (17-25g protein, 120-150 calories) 1/2 cup frozen…

I am in! I had already made a goal to walk at least 7,000 steps every day, so this will be a good one to add on top of that!

I've been gluten free with celiac for almost 15 years now. I've definitely had some really bad food along the way, but generally it's much better now! My quick suggests are bread - Udi's (it is frozen and can be found at most major stores or health stores, comes in multiple varieties), pasta - tinkyada (brown rice) or…
