I've lost a small bale of hay! 10 more to an elephant penis!

Boredom sounds a whole lot easier than I was making it. I'll go with that!! The weather is getting nicer so I can start running outside. Thanks!!!

Go to the library and pick up Jessica Seinfeld's cook book "Deceptively Delicious" and start there! I have fallen in love with her recipes and so have my picky, picky kids. She steams and purees veggies and ads them to every day meals, burgers, spaghetti, breads, pancakes etc. Simple yet effective. And the best part, you…

I agree, he probably meant net carbs. Go to the library and get the Atkins diet book and once you read the first 3-4 chapters it will make sense to you. It is easy to do once you know what you are doing.

I am spent. What a great workout! I can't do 5 days in a row so day 5 I do on Sat but I am loving this!! I think I'm starting to get that crazy workout smile that I used to be jealous of trainers having, Ha!!

For when I need something sweet! These bean blondies are much more moist and fudge-like than regular blondies. Their super-soft texture is insane! Snickerdoodle Genius Blondies ◾1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained and rinsed) (250g) ◾3 T nut butter ◾3/4 tsp baking powder ◾1-2 tsp vanilla extract ◾1/8 tsp baking soda…

Boy did I procrastinate working out today!! DONE!! I'm glad I completed it!

Thank you for the Meatloaf recipe!! We loved it and I added carrot and squash puree to it and well as pureeing the peppers because my kids don't like peppers. Delicious!

I have 2 kids, 6 & 3. My 6yr old is picky about the look of his food and inspects it thoroughly before biting no matter how good it is. I will tend to feed him in a well dimmed area for the first 2 bites because otherwise he will not try it at all. I made chicken nuggets the other night with carrots instead of spinach or…

I have not tried baking but when I bake a "fried" recipe I will use melted butter instead of an egg. I use only 2Tbs to fry the whole batch, a little every time I add to the pan, but only adds up to 2Tbs. So I don't mind frying them.

My kids love chicken nuggets but I refuse to give them frozen food unless I absolutely have to and I try to keep it to a couple times a month. So I have discovered Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook has the best kid friendly recipes that even I will eat. Her chicken nuggets 1 C hole wheat bread crumbs 1/2 c flaxseed meal (my kids…

Ugh, the past 2 days have been tough for me. I have not been motivated at all. I MADE myself do it yesterday but still have yet today. I have today or tomorrow as my off day and tomorrow will look so much better if I can just get up and Go!! I need motivation, please!!

This is the most I have ever enjoyed the burn! I am definitely feeling the difference under all the flab =) I got some of the lifeguards at our pool in on this too and today I could tell they were all sore!! Die Fatty!

I appreciate you trying to keep us going. I really liked Gary's challenges because I was able to print them out and not be stuck to a computer or device to workout. I just don't have that kind of access. So, I watched the videos and was able to do the exercises as best as I could but did it in sets of 10 because I didn't…

Haha, I had to read this a couple times because I kept seeing, "follow this with two smiles" Happy workout!!

These are two websites that I absolutely LOVE!! They are vegan and though I am far from a vegan, these recipes are too good not to make =) . The Simply Fit Kitchen is easy enough to add a meat to, i.e. chicken on your salad or something. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Simply-Fit-Kitchen/195040127197526?sk=info And this one…

Thank you for keeping us updated. I just got done sending him a message hoping everything was alright! Phew. I am doing Day 1 again with more advanced in it!! We will improvise =) Happy workout!!

It seems you are already doing a good workout. Good for you!!!! I would then add Gary's challenge on to the end of your workouts and not do the mile walks because what you are doing would count as a mile+. What the challenge is for me is working different muscle groups that I have not been working on and so to change up…

A great video for crunches!! I have been cheating and hurting afterwards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUnAWuDVDHA

Wow what a challenge! I am loving this. Does anyone have any neck, lower back and sides stretch they recommend? I am hurting and can't find a stretch that is working well enough.

I want to join!! Where do I see the daily posts at?

I had to laugh so hard at the suggestion to sleep in your work out clothes because that was what I was going to say but then reading it made me lol. It might work though. I workout in my jammies because I do my workout at home and I am SO NOT a morning person but if I try and work out during the day when the kids are up, I…

I am so glad you asked this question because I was going to, also! After being in a consistent routine for a month now I understand the STARVING point people are talking about because I started to feel so hungry all the time! Now that I have stuck to working out I feel my metabolism is working more which is the point and I…
