  • Thank you :) It's really tough to keep my expectations where they need to be. On the one hand I've got it down, I know I need to rest and can't expect to keep the house as clean as I'd like (with three boys rampaging through it ;) ) and I often don't have the energy to go out and do things I'd like to do.

  • That's why I go to naturopaths whenever I can afford it! I was tired of being ignored, talked down to, offered sleeping pills etc. It was crazy :(

I had to quit mountain biking and doing Insanity type workouts with…
  • Thank you all so much! I feel better just reading your encouragements. :smile: I know what I eat is the biggest part of the equation. But I also have in the back of my mind last year if I ate the "right" number of calories to maintain my weight but I didn't work out like crazy I would end up gaining just a little. I've got…
  • Oh, good idea :) I remember doing a yoga class with a sis-in-law after our second babies were born and how Hard it was and how amazing I always felt afterward :)
  • I realize only liquid ounces are volume measurements. I could buy the scoop from true protein, yes. I'm just curious about the different weights of the powders. They're not even close. The nutrition information that shows up on the website when you create a mix always says 30g is a serving size. I'm just curious about one…
