I just recently got back into smoothies in the morning and I love experimenting with herbs. Mint is great with fruit like pineapples or citrus. For something more savory, I like cilantro or basil with tomatoes, celery, greens, peppers. As far as keeping your smoothies or juice longer, Food Saver makes vaccuum sealed…

chicken enchiladas, quiche, pasta Alfredo, chicken soup. My grandmother used to use the chicken bones, neck, fat, skin, and make broth (toss in onion, carrots, garlic, celery & herbs). Just another way to stretch your dollar when buying a whole chicken.

I agree with others and I would make a concerted effort to take one day out of the week (like Sunday afternoon) and prep your meals for the week. Weight loss can be achievable but you got put some time and effort into it! I've used Ziploc Steamer bags with lean chicken or shrimp, fresh veggies & herbs. Sometimes I'll put a…

I like doing stir fry (meat, nuts, veggies), turkey sausage & peppers, lean meatballs. tuna salad & cucumbers. Lots of ideas you could mix up here.

Yes. If you do decide to do it - Be close to a bathroom. Very close.

I use the LG HB-730 Wireless Headset and LOVE it! It does use in-ear buds but it comes with three bud sizes. I haven't experienced the buds coming loose and I typically wear these to run. There's not much slack on the cords, so the ear buds are relatively stable. Here's the link AND its cheaper than I paid (about $79 a…

I do the same thing! Toss chicken in the slow cooker with any sauce, come back 6-8 hours later and you have a very healthy protein! I've put this over salad, corn tortillas, rice, pasta. + avocado, lime, cilantro = Yummy

Not everyone grows up to be an Astronaut. Not everyone can be the fastest at a race and not everyone will be the last to cross the proverbial finish line. I guess since I don't consider myself an elite runner, I would never think that if someone said "Keep Up the Good Work" it was meant to belittle. I suppose if I was…

I was thinking the same thing! :-) LOL. At my last gym, there was a gentleman (aka in my head - " the neanderthal") that wore a loin cloth made of two washcloths & some rope. He lifted early in the morning and finally one of the Managers had to ask him to wear less revealing clothing. He might as well been lifting naked.…

If you do decide to run at dawn or dusk, please, please, please wear some sort of reflective clothing or strobe light so cars, bikers and others on the road see you. Be smart and safe! On a positive note, Congratulations on taking control of your health and wanting to do more physically! Half the battle is just getting up…

Thanks Carrieendar! Your post makes me think I didn't get all the bad stuff out when I lanced it. All the other tips were very helpful as well.

Love this site! Thanks for sharing. I've been trying to just add the fruits & veggies whole and knew it wasn't right. Bookmarking the juicing site now.

I've been playing around with Chocolate Almond Milk lately. Made homemade chocolate pudding pops with it, less than 75 cals per serving when mixed with Jello Pudding Mix.
