6" or 12" if I am really hungry because the stats are still reasonable. Flatbread Veggie Delight, everything except cucumbers and spinach Provalone Light Mayo Nom!

I love candle magic. I haven't actually tried it yet, but I've been toying with a spell involving burning a pillar candle everyday and visualizing as the candle shrinks in size so do I. It's still a work in progress. I haven't decided what I am going to carving into the candle, if I will sprinkle herbs over the burning…

My motto is every day in every way in even the smallest step, I am getting stronger.

I haven't done anything yet at all. I was going to have a nice ritual with planting one of those indoor herb kits (basil, parsley, ect) you can get. But my daughter was sick with high fevers and puking all week until yesterday, so I didn't get a chance to get my materials. :(

I LOVE the idea of a mirror spell with some chanting and visualization! That's a great one.

I mainly have just ordered books on Amazon, ect because I live so far away from any bookstores, metaphysical or otherwise. If it is a crystal that I have never bought before, I prefer to see it in person if I can before buying online. But for things that can be cleansed, I don't have a problem buying online and cleansing…

I live in rural WI near the Green Bay area and I'm a solitary witch and eclectic pagan. Paganism in general speaks to me, but I haven't found a specific path that calls me. There is a general pagan group that does meet ups in Green Bay, but I haven't yet attended any of their events. We do have herbal/tea shops. And other…

A blessed and happy Yule and solstice to everyone!

That's Awesome! It's funny how these things work out, what the goddess will throw in your lap!

Thanks, I like that alot. :)

Bwahahaha! Nooo! Not the killing of those little innocent crackers!!!

One word. Soups! Canned or homemade. Most recipes can be frozen in individual serving to be microwaved later for a quick meal.

FABULOUS!

That's just awful! Have you tried cleansing the room to make the energy more positive again?

edit: repeat post oops!

I am in the same boat. I do some spells and rituals during the day when no one else is home, but I have never felt comfortable doing a full moon ritual or random spell when my hubby and kids are home. I use my kitchen table for an altar and disassemble everything and keep it in a special box when I am done.

Hi! I am an eclectic pagan focusing on Wicca. I was raised strict Catholic and never got much out of it. I have been reading, experimenting, and practicing Wicca for the past few months and I feel so much more at peace. I am a married mom of 2 who never really lost any weight after giving birth. I live in rural WI with a…

Go for it again! Watch yourself in your workout today. If it's hurting while you are doing it, slow down or do a modified for whats hurting. Stretch extra throughout the day, drink your water (!!!), ice the area that's sore (if you can), and take Advil if you don't have an aversion to taking pain meds. Good job!!! You are…

You need to take days of rest in between because you are training your heart, lungs, bones, and muscles to learn to do something with a higher intensity. Two back to back runs won't hurt, but for the best results give yourself rest days. It will also prevent injuries and giving up in the long run. Sources: Finishing the…

I just bought the Polar FT7 and I LURVE it!! Seriously love it.

Beans, Whole Grain products (whole wheat bread, brown rice, ect), greek yogurt, Luna or Lara bars, Eggs, cheese or other dairy, lean meats or fish, Hummus, Nuts esp almonds, Nut Buttters.

I would assume the coffee to have 5 cal or less per 8oz serving. I just skip recording black coffee because I deem it a "free" food. Whatever. So I would measure the amount of milk (and sweeteners but you didn't use any) and record that.

I struggle with this too. There are times when I feel like I am climbing the walls looking for foods that I know aren't in the cabinet because I just checked 5 sec ago. Here's what helps me: 1) I only buy junk foods and other family foods in single serving packs. It's more expensive, but I am less likely to snitch…

If you already do moderate calisthenics like lunges, squats, ect and crunches, Level 1 should be fairly doable. I haven't moved to Level 2 yet, so I don't know what that's like. But there is lots of jumping and hopping. That flared up my shin splints, I have to modify those ( she doesn't show modifications because…

Ya'll are being kinda mean! She asked a legit question.

Be forewarned. Jillian is big into cardio with jumping and hopping (jumping jacks, butt kicks, ect), which I wish I would have known about beforehand because it flared up my shin splints. Still LOVE the DVD and recommend it, but be aware. :)

Venti Skinny Vanilla Latte. 160 calories. Almost no fat, enough protein that it satisfies as an afternoon snack! :)

Wit woo! Bring sexy back! Congrats! :)

There are plenty of workout and yoga videos online for free. I use the ones at hulu dot com.

I would love to know too, since I have been toying with the idea of vegetarian/vegan for awhile now.
