I will not let my boyfriend read this, just in case he doesn't get it. You're a dangerous man!

Just don't get anything with a sauce or panko crumbs or something that's been fried- it should say in the description. For example the eel rolls where I go have a sweet, sticky, teriyaki-ish sauce that's gotta be unhealthy (between the salt and the sugar, yikes..). I'd also avoid the imitation crab stuff cause that's just…

So far so good with me. I do enjoy some cardio so it's not like I completely disregard it, but weights are where it's at. It's more fun, it's more measureable for progress (for me anyway), and it makes you firm vs flabby. Who doesn't want that :)

:( weight loss sucks. I've had to force myself to log a gain several times since I've been using this site... How I've "busted through" has usually been just being consistent, over anything else. That might sound vague, but what I mean is that when I was bouncing my calorie goal around I ended up not going anywhere. Once I…

Good, logical breakdown. Go get 'em, tiger.

1. Measure your food. Portion sizes might be different than you think. 2. Don't skip weight training!!!!!!! 3. The quality of food matters, not just quantity! :)

congrats, that's wonderful!!!!!!

you look awesome!!!!!! :)

loving this expression

bahahaha I also blame baggy sweatshirts

a) I like it!!!!!! b) It's probably more genetic than muscular development, I would assume c) Probably the only way to get rid of it is to gain weight (probably not what you want) d) EMBRACE IT! No matter what, EVERYONE has at least one unchangeable thing about their body that they wish could be bigger/smaller/whatever-…

Hmmm the hot food thing is definitely an issue! I don't have kids but I know when I was little and I wanted a hot lunch I often (errr... .my dad did) put soup in a thermos. If it's boiling hot in the morning it's a pretty decent temperature by lunch time. Sandwiches are out? How about.... Spaghetti w/ sauce/meatballs/etc…

Almond butter is better :) But for PB... Teddie brand is all natural!

thanks!!! I never think to make quiches... but this does sound yummy :)

Not to be negative, but in medical records... you're either never, current, or former... it's always going to part of your medical history! But on a personal level... whenever you think you're clean of it. Thinking negatively (like your doctor!) might = relapse! Be proud of quitting :)

Never tried one >.< BUT I THINK YOU ARE A BADA$$! <3

You look great!!!! :)

I like #2, the little knot thing is cute. The first ones are fine but they're more... sexy. Not that sexy is bad, but you're being a bridesmaid not a date, ya know? :) HAVE FUN! Don't break an ankle.

GENIUS

I guess I'm waaaaaay more likely to do cardio after a strength workout, cause I am SO not a morning person. Waking up early to workout is a hurdle I have yet to cross... it's one of my goals, but I just am a total stinker about it. Thanks for posting :)

I don't have chickens but I am hopefully getting some soon! :) I stumbled across this article/website the other day and found it interesting: http://fresh-eggs-daily.blogspot.com/2012/06/frozen-ice-pops-mint-helps-beat-heat.html As for veggies, I'm currently growing yellow squash, cucumber, tomatoes, jalapenos, 2 other…

Make sure you calorie goal is high enough (had to throw that in, ya know). Assuming that's good... -Give yourself a timer. Tell yourself that if you're still "hungry" in ten minutes, you can have a snack - a healthy one, obviously -Distract yourself with something silly like facebook or imgur or whatever mindless website…

bump! aaaand shameless plug for my own: http://www.coffeeproteinproduce.blogspot.com

You're actually getting younger!!!! Amazing!

English Muffins?!!?! I'm (almost) equally disturbed by things that are sweetened (by anything) for no reason. Like spaghetti sauce - I like it just fine when I make it without sugar, so why are you adding all this corn syrup? The food industry is scary.

I haven't done any of them so I'm not super-qualified to answer this... BUT... I don't think ChaLEAN or Turbofire are really considered strength. They're still pretty much cardio. Go for NROLFW! I hear awesome things about it!!

You look awesome!!!! You work hard, and it shows. <3

I have some pretty miserable allergies too. But for some reason, they seem to dissipate (temporarily) while I'm working out - I guess my body is smart enough to prioritize breathing over being unnecessarily swollen and allergic! It's weird. But I'm thankful for it... otherwise I suppose you could benedryl + coffee it up…

I'd fit a small slice into your calories. Go for a walk afterward together or something if you're really feeling guilty- but life happens, you shouldn't feel guilty for living a little. A LITTLE. :) don't eat the whole cake haha BUT SERIOUSLY. Have some. I had a huge issue with avoiding my social life because I felt like I…

my first thought. lol also- I think it's an empowering thing for him to come out. If someone with a good professional reputation can come out and say "I'm gay," I think for those unfortunate people who have a problem with it can be proven ignorant. Or.. can be proved to that just because someone's gay doesn't mean they…
