Beautiful!!! I will be referring to your site a lot for recipes!! Especially the chicken tikka masala. I make it already but want to lighten it up.

On the 30 Day Shred DVD, Jillian has us do punches. Stand with your legs slightly bent, arms up in a boxing position and that really got my cardio up.

This is a cool idea! I would be in the 1950's and already "bump" my hair up a little and love the 50's housewife look.

Bumping so I can read at home, can't get to the site at work :(

OMG!! That is too funny!! (I work at a law firm)

Someone asked this earlier, you two must be on the same wavelength!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/287075-kettlebells

I second the Kettlebell Bombshell DVD. I bought a set of bells, 5, 10 and 15 lbs. I use the 15 lbs. on the circuit training portion of the DVD and 10 lbs. on the upper body workout right now.

I have been on Depo for 2 years. No weight gain and no TOM!!! I love being on Depo because no TOM.

Mmmm...canned new potatoes are so good!!! I put them in a foil packet with some rosemary, garlic, EVOO and a little butter and throw the packet on the grill. You can do that in the oven also using a casserole dish. I saw "smashed" potatoes on a cooking show. Put the potatoes on a cookie sheet with some non-stick spray,…

LOL!! Naughty boy!!

Wow!! You both look great!! Love the dress, do you mind me asking where you got it?

Sounds like you will have a bountiful summer!! The CSA ia my area is too expensive for me, even though I know it would save me money in the long run, I just don't have all the money up front for even a half share :(

Bumping to read what everyone has created.

What is it about veggies that you don't like? For me, it is when they are cooked until they are mushy. Maybe you could try experimenting with different ways of cooking and seasoning them? Or do veggies in general just gross you out no matter what? Some veggies I donlt like: lima beans, beets, eggplant, all of those are…

Oh yes!! Now I look in other people's carts and think "What crap!" Most is processed foods, soda, little to no fruits and veggies. Whenever I go shopping, I think "Would Jamie Oliver be proud of what I have in my cart?" and the answers have been "Yes!". In the past, the answer would have been no.

You said you are in LA? How about trying out some food trucks? Some have really good and healthy food. Here is a link I found: http://roaminghunger.com/la

I so want to take classes but none are offered in my area.

Do you have the Nike+ app or the kit with the receiver and sensor? I know for the Nano, you just plug the receiver into the bottom and choose the "Nike+" from the menu. From there, you choose a basic workout, timed workout, calories burned workout, and then it asks if you want music from a playlist, shuffle songs, etc. Do…

Roasted red pepper hummus, cucumbers and rice cakes. I love hummus and have been eating it everyday for 2+ months now!! Sometimes I eat it with just with veggies, sometimes with some tuna and pita chips and veggies if I need extra protein.

Aloo gobi is good, I just made it last night. It is cauliflower and potatoes in a spice mix (called a "masala") and the spices include turmeric, cumin and corriander along with some ginger. I made mine mild and left out the serrano pepper. Most Indian restaurants will let you pick hot hot the dish is.

It looks like you had a great time!!

I knit too and feel the same way!! I also shoot handguns, do some art journaling and random mixed media art.

We have Qdoba here in Michigan, but I heard it is almost the same thing. I love it but don't have it often because I always forget we have one!!

I think fresh herbs are better than dried, but I use dried all the time. Herbes de Provence in eggs is great!! I love fresh basil and tomatoes with some balsamic vinegar too. You can put fresh rosemary stalks directly on your grill coals to flavor your food when it is grilling. The rosemary will smoke and impart a great…

That happend to me also. Sometimes I just can't stand meat at all, and can't even go down the shopping aisle to purchase any. I still eat meat, but not nearly as much as before.

Thanks everyone! I will have to research the apps mentioned. Especially the Amazon marketplace!

Wow!! That is only 3 weeks?!?!?!? What is the Rosemary Conley diet? Are you exercising also?

Bump to add my pics when I get home!

I am using the Kettlebell Bombshell DVD and the instructor recommends 15-20 lbs. for women, so your 7.5kg is just over 16 lbs. I had to put some grip tape on my kettlebells because the handles were slippery. Just be sure to hang on and get kids/curious animals out of the way before you start.
