@skinny... the yogurt becomes a bit thicker, and can get a bit grainy if not stirred really well. I am VERY picky with texture but this does not bother me a bit. It's tricky to stir it in the yogurt cup which is what I do so I can add it at work. At home I stir together in a small bowl. I use vanilla in cherry yogurt so it…

@skinny... I have a really hard time getting that protein in! I only eat beef and bacon for meat protein (I don't like chicken, turkey, pork or fish) so I have to be pretty creative with my proteins, I can't and shouldn't eat beef every day. Like a few others have said when my protein goes up, so do my fats but it keeps my…

Well, I'm on top of both fitbit leaderboards right now, but my legs are so tired. Most likely from the weighted squats and lunges at physio yesterday. I finished work early today and got a 2 hour hike in before heading home. The trail was mud and slop, about half way through I quit trying to dodge the mud and puddles. My…

Just taking a quick break between walking around my house and doing stairs... I'm 2000 steps behind the fitbit leader today but my fitbit battery is low so its charging now. Going to get a meal plan set for tomorrow to figure out how to get the extra protein in and then I'm heading out for a real walk. Again. Walked 30 min…

I've let myself slide too much in the food department, so it's time to buckle up. My April goals are 1) to WEIGH/MEASURE and track EVERYTHING I eat, the good, the bad, the ugly, 2) maintain a daily protein intake of 120g, and to come in under calories every week. (I will allow 'makeup days' where if I am over one day, I…

@Laurie... I get such an urge to run, but when I actually do it, I remember how hard it is! I have been doing about 10 min on the treadmill twice a week at physio, but I must say I HATE the treadmill. I would much rather be outside on a trail or even a road. That way I can focus on something up ahead and watch it until I…

Thursday Truth... at physio today I got a comment from another woman I've seen there before but haven't seen lately. She said I was really working hard. I replied that it was because I've gained 5 lbs in the last few months. It's true... I was weighed on Tuesday and am back up again. Not surprised at all, my eating has…

@tlh... what wonderful cakes! You have great talent. @Melifornia... love your cakes too! Pretty and I bet they taste great too. @Robin... so glad the final results turned out well for your mammogram. I was lazy today and slept in as well. The sleeping pill I take at night now does wonders, I no longer wake up at my weekday…

Question here... I tracked a hike with the fitbit app on the phone. It has created a record of that workout, now how can I log that on MFP? I know the calories pass over, but I want it to show in my status. Will calories double if I do this?
-
Question how do you turn it off? Go to dashboard, settings. It will ask if you want HR auto, on or off. I chose auto and it is on all the time. Turn it off. On your app, tap the Charge HR (top one), look for heart rate tracking. You can change here too.

Wow, the thread is moving fast! @Melifornia.. I do the same thing from time to time to 'kickstart' myself into healthy eating again. Recipes, list, groceries, portions... I do the same with the smoothie baggies in the freezer! it makes it so fast and easy in the morning. @Susan... or anyone following my fitbit posts. So…

OK, stride length has not changed in my settings... need to account for an extra 2K steps. Maybe I walked more than I thought? Will need more time to collect data.

@kah, @Susan... I ordered my fitbit from Amazon.ca on Saturday. It came Tuesday I think. I originally tried to order it from BestBuy.ca but they were out of stock on Large/Black. I went to Amazon and it was priced at $547!!! So I clicked on the small/black and it said Large/Black was available for the regular price of…

I just had a Big Mac meal. I don't feel one bit guilty, maybe that will show up later. I've been craving it for a few days now and have been eating mindlessly to fill the craving. I decided to eat it and carry on. I think this proves that banning certain foods altogether does not work for me. I just have to choose it much…

No fast food today. Gosh, it was so close... the internal dialogue that I had with myself would have led anybody to believe that I'm crazy! Though I made it through that, I did eat a bunch of chocolate, and I bought a bag of chips.. not fast food but I have a craving and these other things are not even satisfying it. I'm…

@NK1112 , @Mel: I have not had any X-rays or scans. My diagnosis is whiplash, and both docs I've seen say it's something that could take a long time to resolve. Neither of them seem concerned that it could be anything other than muscular. I see a chiropractor and physiotherapist twice a week and have been since the…

No fast food yesterday (just the pasta dinner I had with salad and bread... did not pig out like in the old days, Victory). No fast food today, though today is not over I am only going to the walk-in clinic in the small town near me and there is no fast food there anyway. I came home early from work today, actually I only…
-
No fast food yesterday or today. Dinner of rice and stir fried veggies is currently being cooked for dinner. Today is Pi Day, and so of course I went to a geocaching event which had about 30 different pies to taste. Picked apple and had one big slice, but a group of us went for a good hike afterward. After that I went…

I got so busy watching the end of Prison Break last night that I forgot to post. No fast food yesterday, but again too much munching on bread. Ughh... still feeling the time change, and I wonder why it's still lingering into Thursday.
-
No fast food today. I'm craving burgers... but I immediately had thoughts of my black bean burgers. They are so good! I deliver mail for a living so I also deliver flyers (adverts, junk mail, whatever you all call it LOL) and yesterday I delivered 1000 McDonalds coupon flyers, and today it was Wendy's. Sheesh, burgers…

@2ledbetter several slices of toast with jam, and a plate of hashbrowns... a carbfest! :s
-
@mnwalkingqueen Oh no, so sorry to hear about your job loss. :\ I was hoping for a better outcome for you. Hugs. No fast food today, but snacked endlessly at home. I'm still not back on 'time', so am going to bed early again tonight. I just can't seem to keep my eyes open past 8pm.
-
No fast food today. I'm feeling better about the egg mcmuffin. Its breakfast, the most important meal of the day and way better than a big mac and fries. I realize that today. I was very good about getting to bed a bit earlier the last 2 nights, but am finding myself wanting a nap right now. I had a foggy moment at work…
-
Oops forgot to check in yesterday, the time change, busy day and loss of time messed me up. I totally slipped up and had breakfast at McDonalds yesterday. I left the egg and cheese on english muffin at home when I left to go hiking. By the time I realized I forgot it, it was too late to turn around. The next thing I knew I…
-
No fast food today. Another 15,000 steps, another hike on the frozen river. Same for tomorrow, though it will be a much longer hike than today. I'm making my home made protein bars again today, this time I'm adding shredded coconut. The lick taste passed the test with flying colours. It's going to be very hard to eat only…
-
No fast food today. I am completely exhausted... after work a friend joined me for some hiking and geocaching along the frozen river. Not sure how far we went, but my total steps for today was 27,000 :o Just before we left for home she told me with all those steps I could go get myself a Big Mac. I didn't even bat an eye,…
-
No fast food today... I even talked myself out of stopping for Subway (not fast food but I've already had my ONE for this week). Its amazing how this actually works. I think about it, then ask myself if I want to post my failure and it's enough to fend off the drive-thru. Hey, whatever works! I am now eating dinner of rice…
-
No fast food today... though it wasn't without a LOT of inner dialogue. Feeling sucky because of my neck pain, my first thought was "I'm hurting, this will make me feel better". Then it was "I'm going to post on the thread that I had fast food and have no regrets". Then I thought "I don't want to have to post that I've…

No fast food today. I am planning on making a quinoa veggie casserole but am exhausted today so it may be tomorrow. I will cook the quinoa today at least. I'm having so much neck pain today that the pain meds are not helping at all. I just cracked open a cider so I hope the alcohol does the trick. When I first had my back…
