OMG I would SOOOOOOOOOOOO love to try these! Unfortunately Jalapenos are about $12-$14 a pound at the commissary on base here in Japan!

Here in Japan they have something very similar called Shabu Shabu... The commissary here on base actually sells the meat already cut super thin... YUM!

Hey all... Went to spin class the other day and the instructor played a song "Captain Jack" talk about a pump you up and get you movin song. I normally don't care for songs like that but I seriously caught myself picking up the pace with it. It's a good cadence song for us military folks! Oh and I'm a weird one. I tend to…

I download tv shows to the Ipod and watch them. Last year it was all about HEROES (man that made time fly by) and lately i've been watching season one of Army Wives.

you know i'm right in this with you woman!!! I took my first ever spin class the other day and boy oh boy did that do something for the legs. i suggest checking it out if you have never done it before!!! :flowerforyou:

I'm not a huge baker, but to me they don't seem like they would... they definately seem like a straight out of the oven kinda cookie. They turned out more like a cake/muffin. But honestly if you have all the ingredients, it only takes maybe 10 minutes of prep time! They are sooooo good. Tried them out on the 6 and 5 year…

just bumpin' it back up for those of you that missed it!

Hey everyone... I talked to the originator of this challange the other day and she was going to start up this weeks challange but hey we all know how things get us distracted... I'm still in it! Did we ever actually post our week two results? I'd like to do all my measurements and get them on here. not sure i did very well…

Just got finished taste testing my first batch... they were awesome! hard to believe i don't have to feel guilty about eating these!!!!

Okay so I gave in and checked out the Hungry Girl website and oh am I glad I did (live over seas and so hittin up amazon.com as soon as i post this!!!) I know one of my huge cravings lately has been cookies... ANY kind of cookies! I'm so pumped to try this recipe!!! (oh and the best part is it only makes 8 medium sized…

yup that was pretty much the assumption... i have faith in everyone that they are doing great... well maybe except me... still recovering from the bday weekend :wink:

i'll get with mimi and see what the week two hold up is :wink:

Not all sushi is raw... it's a common misconception that MANY people have. Something easy and safe to try for beginers would be a California Roll. It's nothing more than crab avacado and cucumber. simple yet delicious!

I'm stationed in Japan and LOVE sushi... how lucky am I??? Granted Sushi here is a little different then in the states. Ever have corn and tuna salad sushi? Its actually pretty awesome! States... Japan... I won't complain either way :flowerforyou:

i think i have come to the conclusion that i'm changing my weigh in days to fridays... can't handle the stress of the weekend cheats (beer) on monday am

Well monday I was feeling like the poo so I didn't do anything. Then Tuesday all I did was crunches (about 100) because that's all my schedule allowed for. Today (wednesday in Japan) I did 2 miles and 200 various types of crunches. It was my first run outside on concrete in about 2 months and boy can I feel the difference!…

Sorry i'm posting a little late ladies! been feeling like the poo the past couple days! anyway i used the areas that rebbeca used so i can be sure to measure the same areas every week. Weight - stuck 137.5... Belly Button - 31 1/4 3in under BB - 33 1/2 6in under BB - 35 1/2 My goals this week is to do at least 100 crunches…

I've only been eating right for about 3 weeks now and this past saturday we went to a Japanese Curry restuarant (stationed in Japan) and I ordered Pork Cutlet with only 200 grams of rice. Well I ate maybe half of what they gave me (way less than what I used to eat there) and about 30 minutes after I ate I felt MISERABLE!!!…

I'm dreading looking at a picture of myself in a bikini right now... but when I think about it I think it's gonna be awesome to say "hey that was me then this is me now" I'M EXCITED!!!!

okie dokie i'm up for it too!!!

WOOHOO you know i'm in... looks like the new swim suit I bougt about 3 weeks ago will be going to waste :ohwell: but i guess that also means the 2 bikinis i own and wore before the baby will get use again!!!

so any suggestions? I walked around Ginza today for over 3 hours just looking around... well I put it in as lesurly walking and now I still have 1000cals to burn for the day and it's 8pm here!!! Wish I would have know thise before dinner I would have gotten me a big sald to go with my meal... ugh... and honestly i'm not…

Take that as an awesome sign that your metabolism is now kickin in to high gear :wink: I know after I do a class or run a long distance about 30 minutes later I just want to put everything I see in my mouth!!! (so to speak) :tongue:

you can get green tea for free at pretty much any resturant around here... i'm pretty used to the taste now and actually kinda like it

My job isn't too bad right now. I'm in the Air Force so it has it's days. I should be deployed right now but some medical issues kept me home... i was sooooo mad too. not that I wanted to be away from my family but I was really looking forward to the ability to work out whenever I wanted to while I was off work! I planned…

Good running shoes is definately key to running ESPECIALLY if you haven't ran in a while.... I suggest going to roadrunner.com they have a thing on there called The Shoe Dog where you can input all sorts of info on yourself and it will tell what shoes are best for you... I did it and just went to a local store and tried on…

So how is everyone else progressing this week??? Everyone feeling good and motivated still??? Why is it I soooooo want to go get a beer with the guys when I get off work??? Good thing I need to be on a train at 0830 tomorrow morning headed to Tokyo!

That is so freakin AWESOME!!! Well they pretty much walk or ride bikes EVERYWHERE!!! and like i said the serving sizes are way tiny! Plus I think it has something to do with all the green tea they drink... guess it's a big time antioxident!

I LOVE sushi!!! My 6 year old BEGSSSS us to go almost every sunday!!! It just sucks though cause about an hour later i'm starving again!!! You just have to be careful because the Japanese love their mayo and put it on or in just about everything!

I am so flippin excited right now :noway: First I went to the bathroom and caught a glimps of myself in the mirror and I would have put money on that I wore the wrong uniform top tonight!!! But nope I didn't it's just that BIG on me now!!! Then the guys in the shop do this thing where every hour on the hour they get down…
