I don't use a special pitcher to make mine, but I love sliced cucumber and lemon/lime in water. I put a few slices in my reusable water bottle and simply refill as needed throughout the day.

I love my One simply because it stays hidden during the day (it's on my bra strap) regardless of what I am wearing, and I have a summer job where it will be worn underneath a costume. The Flex would not be permitted when I was working since it is visible. I also rejected the Flex in that I HATE the feel of sweat under a…

The chicken burrito with Guac I had yesterday - 900 plus calories and major gut ache afterwards. The only "plus" was that I was still under calories after eating it, and was sick/full for the rest of the day so did not eat anything else (hence the "" - not necessarily a real plus!). I love Mexican food, but I regret that…

If you ever need a laugh, and a way of gaining revenge for candy-thieves at the office, check out the reviews on Amazon for the five-pound bags of Haribo Sugar-free gummy bears. I do have it on the authority of a friend who purchased some at a truck stop while on a road trip that the reviews are true. She was a…

I just started running and have flat feet as well (plus bad knees, ankles, and pronate). I really recommend going to a running store to get fitted properly, they helped me a ton and really helped me understand what I needed and what to look for in a shoe. Are your flat feet due to Genetics or from injury/some other cause?…

Some of mine for running/walking: Beatles "Here Comes the Sun" is my favorite warm-up song Black Eyed Peas - lots of it! Robin Thicke Blurred Lines - HATE the words, but have to admit the beat is catchy and fun to work out to (its in the middle of my playlist) LMFAO "Sexy and I know It" - another one that is cliche, but…

I only log planned workouts like my runs or walks, otherwise, it's life. Can't figure out why anyone would want to log housework - even the heavy Spring cleaning stuff, unless it was out of curiosity as to how many calories would be logged!

It's only a flesh wound!

I've had luck with the unstuffed floppy toys - they look like stuffed animals that were pre-killed. They still tend to get ripped up a bit, but at least I do not have to worry about stuffing everywhere! Otherwise, Kong-stlye all the way! I never stuff them, so can't help you there!

Oohh..great idea on the alarm during the day! I do not have a clock in my bedroom right now, so used the alarm for the first time to wake up for Church at Easter - that little devil is effective!

A lot of the fish you are eating is premade/preseasoned - which means you are getting all the stuff put in (including high salt additions) during processing to make it taste better. I can relate to appreciating their convenience of them, but I know my salt always gets kicked up when I do (I try to keep mine around 1700mg).…

Can't remember what the party is for though.....

^ THIS! :happy:

I just purchased the Fitbit One last week and I already love it! My Mom and Daughter bought one at the same time and feel the same about theirs. As a heads up, if you check Best Buy's website the Fitbit are on sale right now (the One is $87.99). We went to the store to get ours and they matched the price for us (it did not…

If you have some really nice pieces that you cannot stand to get rid of, take them to a tailor and see if they can be taken in. A lot of time it can be done fairly inexpensively, and you end up with a custom fit. Otherwise, donate the stuff you have shrunk out of, and shop at Goodwill or thrift stores for a few basic…

"Stranger in a Strange Land" by Heinlein. i'm reading oldies right now while I focus on my less interesting but more challenging textbooks ("Watership Down" was before that).

Costco had this the other day as a dual-pac - OMG is it amazing stuff!

My daughter is singing at Church that morning, so will be going there. After will be time with my Family and a friend (dinner is Lamb, Asparagus, Lemon-roasted Potatoes and a Lemon Panna-Cotta for dessert). My daughter has to get back to college that evening, so the rest of the day will be spent driving the three hours to…

I always threaten to name our next dog "Ceeaetee" just to mess with people.

Ruby sounds like a great name for her - she looks like one! My dogs name is "Sweet Pea" - we desperately wanted to change it when we adopted her, but it stuck solid, We love her like crazy so the name sort of grew on us (She is a Shar-Pei/Boxer mix). Kudos to you for fostering! Foster fails are the best way to go (I have…

..bump..

Dark Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Ben & Jerry's - single or any combination of the three!

I am really glad you posted. I just started running and I've already got a nail that is getting ready to fall off (right now it is at the annoying snag level) and developing some of the same issues. I am going to try the toe socks when I get my new running shoes (hoping soon) since it sounds like my feet are shaped the…

I think I know what's on TV tonight!

:laugh:

Potatoes are not unhealthy for you, but if you chop them up into strips and deep fat fry them, the addition of the fat changes them from being healthy to a food that should be consumed in moderation, if not one that is blatantly unhealthy. If you add salt to a low-calorie item like a cucumber, by turning it into a pickle,…

If you worry about Sodium, then yeah, pickles are (unfortunately) on the list of things to have in moderation - any type. If you are okay with high salt levels then go to town and enjoy. I personally love them, but the palpitations the salt creates reduces that pleasure significantly, as does the resulting bloat, for me. I…
