I'm on a White Stripes kick right now. Heard Seven Nation Army on the radio and its been going on ever since. I believe they will be part of my Perma-kick Collection. (I go through phases where I will listen to a band non-stop, drives family crazy)

I am a BIG believer in Cheat Days. the benefits that I see by giving myself a cheat day 1. If I'm having a busy weekend with lots of parties and such, I don't feel like I've got to miss out. 2. It gives me something to look forward too if I've got something scheduled. 3. I feel that it helps keep me going. I don't really…

Pizza has to be one of the biggest weaknesses I have. It's like my cryptonite or something. That and brownies and little chewy candies and creamy sauces and.....okay, I've got to stop now. But it's nice to know I'm not the only one fighting with an ongoing pizza craving. Actually I'm having pizza tonight. It's a lean…

This might sound dangerous or just plain silly, but I used to run at night, so I felt like people couldn't see me. Also, I have the worst endurance when it comes to running so I used to say I was going to go out and do my Run-a-pole-walk-a-pole exercise. I would alternate running and walking between the power poles, but…

Bumpety, bump, bump, bump Hope you don't mind if I cut and paste this to my notepad so I can keep it forevers.

I know this is way off the subject, but, is that your baby, cause that baby is SOOOO adorable. Quite the little ham.

Kids can be the best personal trainers. My sons 10 now and he goes bike riding with me and he'se always up for a race.

I know what you mean, normally if I were to cheat this soon into dieting I would just stop caring, but I think keeping this daily log is helping me see how I can have these little splurges and still be okay as long as I keep trying.

Well, all of you are right, I didn't cheat too bad. But yesterday, I REALLY cheated. I have this taudry love affair with pizza and between a birthday party and me and my husband having a movie-pizza night, I ate half a pie. The good news, I didn't shrug my shoulders and grab up some ice cream or something. Instead I got up…

And guess what? Now I have ANOTHER Birthday party to go too. Oh, God, please give me strength to stay away from the Birthday Cake!

I'm only one into changing my eating habits and I've already given myself a cheat day. I went out to eat with a friend and we split a flat bread pizza. Then I couldn't help myself, I had to steal one of my husbands prepackaged Steak Fajitas. Luckily he ate the rest of the box so I don't have to worry about those lingering…

This is a REALLY good question. For me, it was a combination of things. I used to take pretty good care of myself. I exercised regularly and I made a point to eat foods that were low in calories. I can't pin point the exact moment but at some point everything got to be too much. Work became more stressful, my son needed…

Why is it that when you make the decision to eat better and exercise you get invited to every birthday, every family gathering and your friends want to take you out for drinks?

Spinage and Strawberry salad Theres a really great recipe for it on Allrecipes.com

If you can do it, just drink it plain. I don't know about anyone else out there, but the sugar substitute they use in those little packets has a tendancy to make me hungrier.

I love those Weight Watchers frozen meals. Today was Lemon and Herb Chicken, but my all time favorite is the Santa Fe Rice and Beans, mmmmmmmmmmmm good stuff. Oh, and I had an apple today too. Granny Smith style,mmmmmmmmmmmm good stuff.

I'll eat the exact same thing untill I get tired of it and then switch, right now it's an egg sandwhich 1 large egg, sunny side up (would have used medium size but there wasn't any at the store...wierd) 1 slice of bread, toasted, (if it's under 100 cal.'s, its fair game) a little pat of butter salt/pepper to taste 1 cup…

In regards to the silly alarm clock: I could see that flying out the bedroom window within a week.:laugh:

Oh the snooze button, I know that feeling of love and hate you have for it. You love it cause it give you an extra 10 minutes of sweet dreams, you hate it because of the repercussions. I've tried every trick too. I've set the clock 10 minutes fast (this only works if you have a really bad memory or a complete lack of math…

You had a second question, how to decide what a healthy meal plan is. That is a herd decision to make. and everyones got their own answer, because in the end you do what works best for you, but the trick is to find what works best for you and it's not some 15 minute magic show either, its a hard thing. There are tons of…

My best days, the days that I have the most energy and actually feel like I could do it without a cup of coffee is when i make myself an egg sandwhich. One egg, one piece of toast and a little pat of butter. all swallowed down with an ice cold glass of skim milk. It got just the right mix of carbs, and protein to jump…

I made a decision today. A decision that I've made several times in my life and only had success with a few times. I've got to loose some weight. This will be the second summer that I've noticed the skin on my neck folding over itself and making a sweat spot. I have a feeling that if I ignore this minor discomfort I may…
