That's absolutely Fabulous!!! I agree with you. Every time I check in here I find myself smiling. Even if I had a horrible day, I feel better. I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying too!!

2.5 out of 3 ain't too shabby!!!! Now, for all you people who are complaining about the heat....come to work with me please! It's 90 to 100 degrees outside, step into my big metal building! Sorry, no insulation, no A.C., you can stand in front of the fan though! Now, lets get these table saws and drill presses, and paint…

I think he's really worried about my joints more than anything. I put a lot of strain on them and have a history of various joint issues

Wow! That's awesome! After day 2, I wasn't sore... I was in severe pain! We're talking couldn't walk, had to call in to work pain for 3 days! Pretty sure I did something wrong because I'm just stronger than that!!

If you're very new to hummus you might start with "original", or the pine nut flavor. They're both very mild flavors. I'm actually planning to "make my own" this weekend!!

Roasted Pine Nut definitely! I love garlic but most of them are just way too much! I did try mixing the garlic hummus with the roasted red pepper and that's pretty durn yummy!!!

Thank you! I prefer to think of myself as WonderWoman!!! Damn that Linda! Now that's a rockin body!!!

Tilapia is one of the greatest things that ever came out of the water! Everybody I know grills it! It's awesome over a wood fire, but works really great on the Foreman grill too! I put garlic, a sprinkle of butter buds, lemon pepper, and a dash of dill!

Report Day 2 Goal 1: ChaLean Xtreme program faithfully! There's no way I honestly can't find half an hour even on my busiest day! Checked with my doctor today(unrelated issue) He's familiar with the program and said he would prefer I waited to drop another 20 pounds. Something to do with the concept of using enough weight…

Sorry to be so late checking in! 245 even! Finally a tiny itty bitty movement! Not much but at this point I'll take anything!

Thank you very much for the input! This is exactly why I asked here! I've worked in places before where we kept sodium tablets right next to the Gatorade for just that reason! I work as a carpenter(sort of) There are days when I I can feel that I actually NEED sodium! And to anyone who's spending alot of time outdoors this…

Thank you for finding this! It's pretty much what I was thinking myself!

Report Day 1 Goal 1: ChaLean Xtreme program faithfully! There's no way I honestly can't find half an hour even on my busiest day! Starting tomorrow evening Goal 2: Clean kitchen immediately after meals. I'm notorious for letting things sit! Just finished cleaning up my salad mess! Goal 3: Increase my water(slacked off…

I need some opinions. This is the most supportive and least opinionated group I've found so I'm coming to you! My sodium intake is always at or just above daily recommendation of 2500. I'm usually between 2500 and 3000. And of course a majority of people who look at my diary say "Oh you've GOT to cut down on the sodium.…

I joined meetup.com a couple of years ago! Yep, there's some weirdos but I found several groups of people I really enjoyed hanging out with!

Balance is definitely possible! I do recognize your story though! You might want to consider joining a family friendly gym. If there's a Spectrum in your area they have lots of kids stuff to do and you'd get some real "me" time, plus possibly meet some friends with the same interests! You absolutely must find that time to…

I see several faces here I don't recognize! As one of MissDee's little orphans I welcome everyone! And I welcome all to kick my butt if necessary!!

It looks great!! And y'all need to stop keeping it a secret! How?? I beseech thee...HOW????

I had a very similar 'duh' moment last week! My daily life had changed quite a bit but I didn't change my "lifestyle" setting. Just couldn't figure out what the heck was wrong! Of course it finally hit me the day before I was going back to my more active lifestyle! Ugh!! Glad you found it and you're on your way back to…

weighing in tomorrow but I can pretty much guess what it's gonna say! Hasn't budged an ounce all week!

Ok, I believe that my world of chaos has finally settled to at least an organized mess. So...it's been 4 days since I've been able to do any type of formal workout. I'm definitely going to start over. I have let my family know that anything they need can wait at least 30 minutes to an hour(unless someone's being rushed to…

It's a beautiful Sunday morning and I feel so much better today! Sitting here drinking my coffee and waiting for my work clothes to dry! I've decided that this week, I'm going to make 2 weight loss goals, and 2 personal improvement goals. (which will give everyone a sneak peek into the chaos that is my life!) Goal 1:…

Report Days 5 and 6 I have no idea! I spent 14 hours yesterday taking care of the granddaughters and their both on sugar withdrawls! Mom and Dad finally decided that maybe EVERYBODY was right and finally cut the sugar from their daily eating. I got them the next day! Both of them holy terrors non stop! Today I've been so…

I've done my time digging up Yucca's. Wanna go for a field full of cactus?? I truly believe you burned plenty to cover that dinner! Ms Dee, Yucca's are the plant that look kind of like a giant aloe vera,

All those things do burn calories but they are already accounted for in your "lifestyle" choice. They are not things you would add unless you are accounting for every minute of your day to determine what your lifestyle setting should be.

Almond milk is fantastic! I have the regular unsweetened and the chocolate! Now, on to serious matters. If you are already recovering/battling an eating disorder, trying to force yourself to eat if you're truly not hungry could only make your attitude towards food even more difficult. After helping my daughter (just…

wish I had the adjustable weights! Maybe a letter to Santa is in order! You can also use the tension bands. They've got one person using them for each exercise and that's some serious work!!!

Depending on the exercise, anywhere from 5-20. specifically 5-8-12 and 20

Report Day 5: Goal 1: Do scheduled exercise daily-ChaLean Xtreme, and elliptical on ChaLean off days Got sick last night so no exercise at all Goal 2: Get to bed on time every night! That's by 10pm Sun-Thur, by midnight Fri&Sat(ok, not so strict about the weekend!) I was in bed at 9:15 Goal 3: Same as before- a few steps…

Thanks for the welcome! I've really been trying to stay on schedule but something tends to come up often! Can't exactly say no to helping my grandkids! I've still been doing each day just have had to have a couple of gaps in between. Pretty sure next week, things will start balancing out, so now I'm left to make a…
