Awesome, thanks! I will definitely check all those out. I just felt I wasn't getting a whole body strengthening experience with 5x5. I have put a good diet in place, now just looking to get my routine in order. I am a sucker for tracking, so I love the idea of Fitnotes and I will definitely look into StrongCurves!

I must say my husband is pretty flexible, but at the beginning there was conflict. I only cook vegetarian healthy meals in the house, all the snacks and anything I bring in is healthy. He is welcome to eat whatever he wants, but he needs to A. buy it himself and B. not keep it in the house. He has finally come around and…

2k calories of spinach would give you 240g protein...Green leafy vegetable actually have a higher percentage of protein, they are just lower calorie so it takes more. Try making smoothies with loads of greens, I get plenty of protein no soy no meat. Also they make raw fermented brown rice protein powder to get even more…

I am finding that when I workout in the morning it helps me stay on track better throughout the day. I didn't wake up at 5:30 to bust my butt to ruin it all with bad foods! =)

Just wanted to give an update on being sugar free for 11 days now. WOW! I have more energy. I am waking up in the morning (5:30am) to do my insanity workout. I don't feel drained and burnt out at work. My cravings for sugar has reduced significantly, even carb cravings are reduced slightly. Really enjoying whole foods,…

And it begins! Thanks Karenknob for joining me. I am going to document each day any challenges I have so I can see how good my will-power becomes!

I am vegetarian with occasional seafood if I am out somewhere. But at home its all veggies all the time! Feel free to add, I have an open diary as well. Welcome!

Thanks All! I had some green tea with stevia, it helped!! I avoided the vending machine, so thankful. I am full and satisfied with my meals, its just the sweet tooth habit I am trying to break. I am entering a sugar bet next month and will not be eating any refined or unnatural or artificial sweeteners. That should kick my…

bump!

I am guilty of having judgemental thoughts as well, when I see young children overweight and shoveling in processed dead food into their bodies like there is no tomorrow. I would NEVER in a million years say a word to the parents. I think it is right that we need to educate more than sit in judgement. If given the…

I buy it in the bulk bin at whole foods, you can also find it at some Sprouts stores, if you have them in your area. I am hoping it becomes more well known, because it is so delicious!

They both have icky chemicals in them. A great alternative I got my mom on was SoDelicious Coconut milk creamer in French Vanilla. Dairy free, good fats from the coconut, natural ingredients, Actually has less calories than the fat free (20 cal per TB) Or I make my own almond milk creamer: http://stylethatfood.com/?p=714

8+ with a solid personality too it seems =)

sugar sugar sugar!

tsbrown: Loves doggies, favorite color is purple and favorite food is Jelly Beans!

MIkey: Only really ENJOYS running when he is being chased by someone or something...but does it anyway to stay fit =)

25?

I like your eye color!

Bean Beans the a magical fruit... ...they fill you up, for little loot! =)

I try to keep my caffeine intake down...not a fan of herbal teas either. just my own personal preference. Just wanted to share something that worked for me.

Yes that is true, I am wrong, oops I don't count those as my water intake though, so this is just a good alternative for me. =)

I like a little reduced fat cream cheese and jam, its like a little cheesecake Mmm!

My ultimate sugar replacement is coconut sugar. It is unrefined and TASTY. It has the same amount of calories as regular sugar, so don't let that fool you. But its much better for you. I wrote a little about it here: http://stylethatfood.com/?p=354 I also like to use honey, maple syrup, agave, and liquid stevia (mixed with…

Went running last night in the Castro Valley Area...was good when the wind was working for you, a little tougher when it fights you every step of the way. Be sure to wear some ear protection and get out there! Only saw one flying cow ;-)

Week 4 day 2 tomorrow! I am loving it. Its great to look back and see how much you have improved. Keep up the great work everyone!

Ha drivers license! I am about 10 lbs. heavier, but 2 inches taller! maybe they even out =)

This is just my take. I think the weight is actually the more accurate measurement. I have started measuring my food in grams. Usually there is always a gram measurement next to the serving size. Depending on the size of the food it might vary how much fits into your measuring cup. I think the safe bet is always go for the…

Love that!
