  • I try to incorporate some walking into my workday, especially on the days that I'm not going to my water exercise class. I spend about 10 minutes each morning & afternoon walking laps around the building, either inside or outside. I started out doing about 3 minutes (basically one lap around the inside of the building)…

  • Rice Select makes a brown rice/quinoa/freekah blend called Royal Blend. It cooks in 20 minutes, and quinoa is an excellent source of protein as well. The blend contains red quinoa, which is a bit weird to look at the first few times, because when the hull splits to release the grain upon cooking, there's a little…

  • What I found worked best for me was making small changes every several days or once a week. The first week I cooked up a batch of a rice/quinoa blend I found at my grocery store, and grilled up some chicken breasts with different seasonings on them. Each day I took a different flavor of chicken with the rice/quinoa blend…

  • Cinnamon Bun protein powder??? That sounds FABULOUS! I think I'll try adding some spinach to my protein shake for breakfast tomorrow. Mine are usually about 1/2c Kefir, 1/2c unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a scoop of vanilla protein powder (I LOVE vanilla), a tablespoon of chia/flax seeds, and a half cup or so of either…

  • I've always been more concerned about size over weight. I'm 5'3.5", currently weigh 267. When I graduated high school, I weighed 155 (at 5'4" tall), but wore a size 9/10. My current goal is to get back down into the 'teens out of the 20's sizes. Long term goal is to get to around 160, which should put me into a 12 or 14.…

  • Dr Pepper, I've gotten myself down to one in the morning, and I'm making it the real sugar kind, they're more expensive, but after the week and a half I had none, the hfcs version just doesn't taste good, even out of the trusty Sonic fountain. I also find that when I completely eliminate something, my body seems to crave…
