IMO, running should be used more in cases where you are trying to improve your endurance. Its only from a mixture of cardio and strength training where great amounts of fat are lost. I usually only use my HRM in cases where I need to track how many calories I burned while running or walking. If you are training for a…

AGREED!! "Let negative energy fuel your workouts!"

Notice my emphasis on LOWER carbs... Im not cutting out carbs entirely. And I'm most certainly not going to be 'starving' my brain.

Im definitely a fan now! I used to be all about flour tortillas but now that Ive tried corn, I believe I am hooked. I did see yellow corn tortillas while grocery shopping yesterday.. have you ever tried these? If so, does it taste different?

My entire lunch was 319 calories.. that yields 2 tacos. You could cut down on calories if you leave out the cheese (120 calories for 2 slices of pepperjack cheese), or use less BUT... im a cheese lover, & if I can make it fit into my day, I'll use it all. lol I first heated my tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds…

Love love love spinach in my salad! Not a fan of feta cheese, but this sounds delicious!

I say thats fabulous! Its not ALL about calories.. It can be better for you depending whats IN your lunch! whole wheat noodles? chicken sausage? check! roasted peppers? check! skim ricotta? check! asiago made with skim milk? check! AND homemade tomato sauce? check check! In my eyes, youre the bomb! lol

Thanks girl! Sounds awesome.... if I didnt have that 2 days ago. lol! Mmm it was so delicious! Thanks tho :)

Actually one of my friends just sent this to me through email and tho it was corny, it made me laugh hysterically! "What did the mayo say to the little kid when he opened the refrigerator?" "DO YOU MIND!? IM DRESSING!" .. ok i told you it was corny. lol :blushing:

Continue to do what you have been doing just amp it up x10! lol RUN RUN RUN! Watch your calories very carefully, eat clean, eat lots of veggies, and drink lots of H2O! :drinker: <--- just pretend those are water bottles.

I would eat back some, but you dont have to eat back all of them.. Im having the same problem today, so I just put in a handful of almonds for later =)

You said you are working 5-6 times a week, seems to me you would be burning alot of calories. Do you eat back all or atleast MOST of your exercise calories?

Really MFP? I was just trying to say "S.HI.taki noodles" :grumble:

Are these the same as the ****aki noodles?

I COMPLETELY know where you are coming from. Especially since my MAVS have been in the playoff beast mode, my mother likes to invite me out for a little pre-game happy hour. I rarely get to see her, so this is a time for us to catchup during the week. ALCOHOL + HIGH SODIUM, HIGH CALORIE, HIGH FAT FOODS = failure. Ive tried…

I dont know if anyone listens to Christian Rap.. but this song is a definite playlist winner! 'God is Enough' - Lecrae Its VERY upbeat... I skipped to this song when I was getting tired yesterday and needed to push through my last bit of cardio! CHECK IT OUT!…

Im 5'3 looking to lose 25 as well! =) SHORTIES!

I was born October 1988... 18 years later, August 2006, my daughter was delivered by the same doctor! :laugh:

I actually just bought a container of Dannon Greek Vanilla Yogurt yesterday, hesitant to try it though. Whats the difference between greek yogurt and regular yogurt as far as taste?

You are welcome! Anytime I need ideas, this is my GO-TO website!

That was one of the recipes I wanted to try, but was on the fence about it. Im glad you liked it =) Definitely going to try it now!

You know what keeps me motivated? Seeing my mom in all the cute clothes she buys at all these fancy stores... i was able to share with her before, but not so much later on down the road. Needless to say, we are back sharing again =) Now, I have my clothes from before I had my daughter and Im not letting them go, because I…

Omgsh! they are super easy.. you mix the salmon with egg and season the salmon mixture, coat them in bread crumbs and pop them in the oven! Sorry I dont have my exact recipe on hand. Im sure you can find plenty online tho! =)

Yummy.. canned chicken can make a mean chicken taco or wrap when youre in a hurry; pop it in the microwave, add your toppings and youre good to go! I personally dont have a problem with canned meat every once in awhile.. I mean I do use salmon in a can as well when I make baked croquettes =)

This definitely sounds like a challenge but I would LOVE to try at it :happy: im regularly running about 2 miles everyday now so whats another mile & a half? WOOHOO!!

Lite Strawberry Yogurt with sliced bananas.. Keeps me full until lunch time! Today I added a bit of granola for the crunch:happy:

This is really funny, because I was looking for recipes today because I have some drumsticks that I need to cook. Didnt really see anything so I decided I am going to bake some and side it with a Garlic pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach. Nothing fancy but it'll work! I know my mom always does Chicken Spaghetti with her…

Oh man! I was so close to getting that one! Perhaps next time! Thanks to everyone, I ended up getting Chicken Tuscany.. mmm yes it was very, very delicious!
