I've had this happen for the last 3 days. I have limits I impose on how much chocolate I allow myself to eat on any given day. In 8 months I have only gone over it exactly once. Yet in the last 3 days I wanted to eat a king size candy bar. I had lingered in the candy aisle several times in the last few days. I realized…

This story made me smile. Hopefully you are still floating on cloud 9!

At the university level I would go through the disability and accommodation office first. There needs to be some sort of "proof" done first. That will require a doctor's note. It's well worth the time and effort it takes. There are a list of accommodations they can make to help you.

Oscar Mayer has some precooked deli chicken (sold with lunch meat). It looks like the precooked frozen fajita meat except you don't have to heat it up.

Some planning and mindfulness is a good thing. Over worrying about it--not so much. You can definitely get some exercise in! Walk in the water. If you have kids, play with them. If you like and can afford some water sports, check them out! Go snorkeling, kayaking, etc. There is a lot to DO! Don't forget to spend time…

I logged the entire month vacation and I was visiting foreign countries. It was a guess at best but here are a few tips I learned: 1. I can't eat as often as I normally do because the calorie count for eating out, even when you eat less than you used to, is more than what it is when you eat at home. Thus I changed my…

I don't change passwords daily but they have to come to me to put in the password daily.

Another thing to do is to go in with him, even against his wishes, and do a room overhaul. The reason I say this is sometimes the room gets so cluttered that it becomes overwhelming for kids (and teenagers) to keep up with it. Then after everything has a place, talk about expectations. Then it is up to YOU to inspect it…

Take the game system controllers into your room each night. He cannot earn them back until he has completed chores and homework for the day and you have inspected it.

"There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results." --Unknown “It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t. It’s that some people are ready to change…

Have you calibrated your stride length?

I'm the opposite. If I relied on how I felt, I wouldn't ever do it. Sometimes you just have to start. Before you start, talk to yourself. Tell yourself what you want. Tell yourself you will do it. If it all fails, do it anyway. It's better than no workout. Eventually it will be a habit. That doesn't mean you won't still…

By the way, I just vacationed in Guam for about 2 weeks this summer.

Here's the deal. Motivation will get you started but the commitment will help you carry through. You have to make a decision that you WILL do it. Period. There is no getting busy. There is no later. There is no don't feel like it today. It's like the Nike commercial says, "just do it." So stick around. No more putting it…

Absolutely! Now that I am getting more fit, I also find it easier and more fun to find active things to do. My only obstacle really is finding OTHER PEOPLE who are willing to do the same things I like (ie, the social part). The activity last longer than the few bites you chomped on too. Having said that, I do enjoy food.…

When I first started I wrote Breakfast Lunch Dinner Side Dishes Snacks Brown Bag Lunches Under each heading I wrote a list of dishes. Then I had the calories listed beside them. Most of the dishes I was finding on various websites so I listed the source as well so I could find the recipe during the week. Then I got smart…

You need to treat this as a lifestyle change. Something you will do for the rest of your life. When life gets in the way, pick right back up as soon as you can. Tell yourself ahead of time you have learned this lesson and you will succeed this time. Having the right mindset is at least half the battle, if not more. I went…

Now I have to try Firefly!

When I first started, I played the entire video BUT i could not complete all the reps of all the exercises. It would probably be a fair assessment to say I only completed roughly half. I was stopping and grabbing a drink or trying to breathe! It does get better. Aim to do a little more each time. Different people come to…

I never liked DS9. I liked Voyager or Enterprise.

Hershey's Bliss Dark (70%, can't do the higher stuff). 70 calories for 2 pieces. By adding a bunch of other stuff the calories go up and it isn't nearly as satisfying.

Working with the kids is the fun part. It is everything else that can make the job stressful. This includes politics, administration, parents, paperwork, special needs within a gen Ed setting (love it but extra work and challenges), planning, prep, assessment demands, developing portfolios, committees, meetings, paperwork…

I don't know if anyone did this on previous pages but if you use PB2 (4 TBSP), Muscle Milk (because that's what I have), Quaker Oats, and 2% Milk, the calorie count is approximately 170 per bar. The PB2 does help. (The protein is around 24g/bar).

Actually, fitbit does allow you to change the stride length. If it is working for you, then it is likely you are fitting the average demographic.

Having tried a few though, I will give you a hint. Do not buy the ones that require you to clip it. The ability to clip it is a must have feature but the ones that can be put in the pocket, worn around the neck, etc. are activated by motion and the clip it only version is typically activated by spring motion. They are far…

Fitbit! It syncs to MFP and has graphs, etc. online. Cool toy! Oh and it also issues you challenges by way of "badges."
