  • Thank you for the honesty. I put chocolate chips in Cocoa Pebbles and sometimes I will put the Cocoa Pebbles with the chocolate chips (no milk) in my popcorn.
  • I find the only way to know what I'm eating is to be aware of what I'm eating. It can be in my head if I'm not near my computer, on a piece of paper, or on here, but if I don't acknowledge it I can't have knowledge of it.
  • Where is my grandmother's ring? It fell off my finger somewhere in my house (I lost weight and my finger got skinny...).
  • Adriene's 30 day yoga https://youtube.com/watch?v=TXU591OYOHA
  • Every time I've had a "set in stone" goal weight/date before a big trip or event I have failed. This last time I made a goal it was to be fit enough to enjoy a family trip with a "wishful" weight. I was only two pounds from that weight when the plane left the ground and I hit that weight a week after I got back. I think…
  • I have an ad for PBR Bull Riding and Rodeo. I haven't surfed for that some I wonder if I called Bull$%& somewhere...
  • Mr. Knight that your logic and start walking. There is no place for that here. I just bought a five pound bag of potatoes for $.99--not as cheap as $.19 Ramen but I will get more meals out of that bag of potatoes.
  • I do every Tuesday (an hour of lifting followed by an hour on a bike at a minimum of a level 11 resistance) and Wednesday (10 minutes of jumping jacks/lunges/squats, 50 minutes of Tabata, an hour of Pilates, then an hour of yoga). They are my two big days at the gym and I burn right around 1000 both days. I work in at…
  • I've had two major deaths in 51 weeks. I currently spend anywhere from six to 10 hours a week at the gym. I've cried in yoga, I've cried on a bike, I have yet to cry in power lifting but I'm sure it will happen. It gets me in pants on the weekend when all I want to do is sit around the house in my pajamas, staring at the…
  • About 60% of my gym time is spent on a bike, 20% yoga, 10% Pilates, and 10% weight training. I've lost 51 pounds, but more importantly, I am able to fit into a couple of pairs of size 12 pants I couldn't get more than an inch or two past my knees last February. I'm fine with the people who judge the bike as being inferior…
  • Technically the sun doesn't rise or set but (most) people know exactly what is meant when someone says "hey, did you see that sunrise this morning"--people aren't trying to frustrate you and most know that a pound is a pound. There, Their, They're, it will be okay.
  • What caught my eye were the words "too much all the time" and you don't seem to know why. Instead of "just log it and move on" because it sounds like this is a continual issue, maybe you should think about eating as you have been, log for a few weeks, and then analyze it. Do you eat to much because you are bored? Tired?…
  • +1. Love your profile pic--5K?
  • A bag of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix, package of instant chocolate pudding, mixed with a stick of melted butter. It would usually take me two to three days to eat it--at 3380 calories total what was I thinking?
  • I used to live in a 100 year old house with a claw foot tub. On my days off I would get a huge cup of coffee, some shortbread cookies, get a good book, set everything up on a bathtub caddy, add bubbles to the water, light some candles,and start my day slowly. I miss that tub.
  • What if you made different goals each week? X number of steps X minutes of exercise X number of miles on a bike X days of lifting X number of miles either outside or on a treadmill X number of reps with X amount of weight X minutes of yoga and/or Pilates X times you work out with a friend add your own Make a calendar (can…
  • Here's a new "twist" on a hard boiled egg: foodandwine.com/fwx/food/learn-make-reverse-hard-boiled-eggs-yolks-inside?utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_393453&xid=partner_zergnet

  • Great, I can almost fit into my dress!

  • ^What I was wondering--how many hard boiled eggs can a rabbit realistically eat since the kiddos are smart enough to already know the answer.

  • I'll let you know on Tuesday if someone brings me cake for mine. Last year I did cupcakes at a shooting range (Mondays women shoot for free) and I took the leftover ones, put them in my freezer, and had one once a week until the end of May. Totally worth it.
  • Me too so I Googled and found these: foodandwine.com/recipes/cauliflower-and-cashew-soup-with-apple ohmyveggies.com/recipe-crispy-cauliflower-carrot-fritters-smoky-garlic-aioli/ eatwithinyourmeans.com/cauliflower-cashew-pasta-bake/
  • I either work out to get some extra calorie to eat or have a lighter dinner and average the calories over two days to even it out.
  • Don't feel guilty for taking care of yourself, you'll actually be a better mom if you are more fit.
  • Make sure you have an idea of how many calories are in typical Italian food, take pictures of your meals (you can tell people you are documenting your trip), and paper record what you eat later from those pictures/estimate your exercise. That's what I did when I went to China last fall and I didn't gain while I was there.…
  • I have a friend who was taking Ambien for a while and slept-ate almost every night. Her husband got tired of her accusing him of leaving dirty dishes around the house so he started recording her. He also had to hide her keys every night because he caught her trying to go for a drive.
  • I wish I had the courage to do this (I even looked into a local class) but I have a fear of falling--sit-ups on a Yoga ball scares me unless I have a stand behind it just in case I roll back too far. Good for you!
  • I have a co-worker who's a runner and used be a ballerina. When she's irritating me I buy Chicken in a Biscuit crackers (I'm not tempted) and Peanut Butter M&Ms (tempting, but if I eat them there are less for her) on the front desk. She complains as she inhales them and I don't feel one bit guilty.
  • I have a pair too. Last February I could only get them up about three inches past my knees, last week they are all the way up and I only have half an inch before the zipper is all the way zipped. For what it's worth I am happy for you both.
  • Try lifting, I can't even explain how hungry I am after I get down.
