Unfortunately, with my first pregnancy I was nauseated all nine months. This time around it got better around week 14. Ginger tea and ginger candy were life savers for me getting through the work day and commuting! BTW, ginger tea is super easy to make at home instead of buying at the store.

I vary my daily amont of carbohydrates based on my post prandial blood sugars. What I have found best to make sure I wasn't not eating enough is every morning I check my urine for ketones (MD agreed) with ketone sticks I bought at CVS. If you are GDM, your dr will probably go ahead and order them to have a reduced copay. I…

As suggested earlier when I didi C25k I found that if I couldn't complete a workout I did the best I could and just kept repeating that week until I could advance to the next set of workouts. I found it took me a little longer than the time period they defined but it worked for me and then by last year I was able to run an…

I have found that I do a lot of cooking on the weekend so the fridge and freezer are stocked and I can nuke a homemade meal every night.

Nothing wrong with not eating a "traditional" breakfast or foods. I personally enjoy waiting util around 9:00 in the morning and then eating a salad.

I have been at this for over a year and still hate working out. I have tried classes, dvds, walking, gym, elliptical, etc, etc, etc. I have yet found anything that makes me enjoy working out. The only thing that keeps me at the gym is that my husband is a runner and enjoys races. I have gone to quite a few of the races and…

Any vegetable goes great as long as you chop it up fine. The other thing I do is get frozen vegtables and then with a closed bag smash with hammer and you have crushed veggies you can add to any recipe!

Doctors get two weeks nutrition in med school and don't feel qualified. Most would like to refer patients to a dietitian but insurance won't cover seeing a dietitian so they rather say lose weight since they don't know how. They are also required by insurance companies to go by numbers for reimbursement.

I refuse to cook defferent meals. What I cook or my husband cooks for the night is what the family eats. My daughter knows at most if she doesn't eat I will allow her to have a cup of milk before she eats but I will not let her have a different meal. On the flip side I do allow her to help plan meals for the week so she…

Needed to read this, especially on a day like today when you wonder what is the point of working out!

It doesn't really matter when you eat because your body doesn't have any mechanism that says it is this time and I will stop processing food. Most "diets" and such that say this is because most people are less active later in the day or find themselves snacking or sneacking more food and don't pay as much attention to what…

Ice bath drink plenty of water make sure to keep using the muscles so the stiffness gets worked out!

an elephant's heart!

Mix with crab and salsa put it in a tortilla and make quesadillas!

Please remember to be called a nutritionist you only need to write it next to your name that there is no testing, etc. If you want please speak to a dietitian who had to go to school and an internship.

She is negative, but as far as I can tell the whole red team is full of "negative Nellies!" One by one they are getting rid of anyone who is decent on the team. Look at them getting rid of Roy this week.

One thing I find helpful is I will cook a lot of meals over the wekend and then keep some in the freezer and some in the fridge so I have time to spend with my daughter or even better let her watch an episode of Caillou so I can get a quick shower in after being sweatty from working out and then picking her up from daycare…

Grilled Eggplant sandwiches, but haven't decided on the side item yet

I think we have all done this for one reason or another. The important thing is to forgive yourself and get right back on track.

I know what you mean. I keep hoping there will be a day where my thighs are not glued together at all times!

It is very important as you are going from 8pm until 11 am with no food so your metabolism slows down and it makes it harder to lose weight. Your brain doesn't function as well if you don't get energy in the morning. Keep in mind breakfast can be as simple as a piece of fruit, crackers and cheese, or half a sandwich.

I had a day like that yesterday and I ended up going to they gym and doing the hardest workout I have ever had and actually felt better. The funny thing is I went to they gym to burn extra calories so I could eat chocolate!
