Here is another interesting article : http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/wellbeing/180475/Why-water-is-so-good-for-you How do you drink your water? -lemon or lime? -miO? -super cold?

I don't feel I've lost enoght yet to give a great answer. I started measuring last month and my next day to measure is Monday. I feel like my chest is smaller, maybe loosing inches from around the back and underarms ect. I notice that my legs and feet aren't swelling anymore - my legs feel like they've toned a little bit…

Okay so the website is having issues. What's up with that?!:grumble:

I usually just swim how far/long I feel. For time I usually shoot for an hour or 1 mile (something like that) and I work on balance and proper stroke since I've only been swimming for a few months. I learned about speedo pace club at lunch today and I'm diving in for more structure in my workouts - plus I love their…

Wow! I just looked at it - AWESOME! I have my weeks workout plan and I can't wait to get into the water. Thanks for sharing. :happy:

I've noticed that I'm MUCH more likely to eat healthy in the mornings. I'm trying to have my "eating" day all planned out. Since I love using my slow cooker (the liners are a god send) I try to get it going before work while I grab my breakfast, midmorning snack, lunch and afternoon snack in my lunch bag. When I go out the…

Preserved Lemons You can find a recipe for preserved lemons just about anywhere, they're that easy. Here's an adaptation of one from Claudia Roden's Arabesque (Knopf, 2005). 4 lemons 4 tablespoons sea salt Juice of 4 additional lemons, or more to taste Wash and scrub the lemons. The classic Moroccan way is to cut each…

I had my wake up call back in April 2014 when my 55 yr old mother fell ill. She was really in bad shape and I flew out to see her. I felt stuffed in the airIine seat and I couldn't even get the belt across my waist! I spent 2 weeks in the ICU with her, my knitting and my thoughts... I'm 33 and... I waking up with racing…

Swam Laps for 2 hours (a break inbetween) I was so stressed when I got there but when I got out I got a cup of coffee in the Y's lobby then sat outside realizing all of that stress had melted away.

I hate being in a bathing suit too, but my need to do something/love of water finally won over. I had that heart to heart with myself and said "i HAVE to exercise. What is something I can realisticely see myself doing almost everyday and having fun with so that I will go and actually do it?" - my answer was swimming, but…

This is a GREAT idea!

I completely agree - 100 is no small feat. You kicked a person off your scale.

positive attitude is key!:bigsmile:

Well, I need something to help me too. It seem that if things don't go to plan that I give up. I kept reading about folks saying they wish there was a challange - So here we are. :laugh: My daylight burned yesterday due to after school/work activities, so I was unable to go to the Y. I think my off days will have to be…

Hi, I'm Jenni I had my wake up call back in April 2014 when my 55 yr old mother fell ill. She was really in bad shape and I flew out to see her. I felt stuffed in the airIine seat and I couldn't even get the belt across my waist! I spent 2 weeks in the ICU with her, my knitting and my thoughts... I always wanted to get out…

If your next length is going to be backstroke, you don't roll since you're already in the backstroke position.

Hahaha - now it is a front facing swimmers snorkel not off to the side like you might expect to find at the beach. (thats why I feel like a snork - I have a tube between my eyes) So flipping is just like you would do without one, just hold your breath and remember to blow out hard when you resurface to blow out all the…

5'10 here. Always felt awkward being tall. My friends/family (kids my age) were shorter then me and I think I felt like even so I should still weigh what they weighed and if I didn't then I was the fat kid even though looking back (over all) I clearly wasn't. Dainty will never be in my vocabulary. I remember in high school…

1 pound of fat = 1 pound of muscle (but it's leaner) You might be burning off fat, but building your muscle. That would make your scale stay the same or even get higher at first ( if your building more muscle pounds then burning fat pounds.) Since the muscle mass is leaner then fat you could see more results with the…

Well another way to do that is to weigh the total amount and divide that by what you know you will be having in each serving (100gm) to find the actual total about of servings.

Dein Brot klingt wunderbar, obwohl es gibt einige Zutaten, die, denen ich nicht kenne.

I'd be lying if I didn't admit I was smiling on the inside about still being faster and could swim longer than these 3 super fish. :blushing:

I had 3 guys racing around me. They were racing each other which would have been fine execpt 2 were in one lane next to me and the other guy was sharing my lane. They would race for 1 lap and stand around in the shallows talking while they caught their breath. I was sooo happy when a lane opened up!

Don't try to cut too many calories in addition to so much exercise. If your hungry all the time you will fail. As for exercise 30 mins a day doesn't sound so bad, but if you're planning on using that $app you talked about, you could get burned out - quit - and go broke. :tongue:

xray vision here cause one has a shirt on oh yeah, btw, i agree with raw for meat and cooked for veg

Check out Six Sister Stuff website Slow cooker freezer meals : Make 8 meals in 1 hour. There is also one for 10 slow cooker freezer meals in less than 90 minutes. I haven't tried these yet, but I'm planning on it. Let me know what you think if you try them

You should join me and throw in a snorkel down the center of you face. LOL :laugh:
