^^This, definitely!!! And so much fun : )

It drives my husband crazy when I say "full" because it sounds more Iike "fool." I can't really help it though, it's just the way it rolls off my tongue when I speak.

Sounds good. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Looks super yummy. I'm gonna try these, but definitely on a day that I burned alot of calories.

Well, I won't be doing Body Beast (I'm currently doing Insanity), but I was thinking about getting it for my teenage sons (18 and 15). Both of them have been skinny all their life, both serious football players, both have a hard time gaining weight, and the younger one is super serious about lifting.

I'm currently not a vegetarian, but am interested in eating more like one. For those who keep their food diaries open, please feel free to add me. I would love to know what you're eating.

Great idea!

I only go to Whole Foods for whole wheat pastry flour that I use to make healthy pancakes.

Silk Coconut milk Almonds Bananas Strawberries Peaches Romaine lettuce English cucumbers Eggs Egg Whites Ground Turkey Chicken Frozen Veggies Chobani non-fat Plain Greek yogurt Whole grain pasta Whole wheat bread Brown rice Quinoa Beans (black, cannellini) Chick peas

Sounds delicious!

I love me so Zumba, but for me, my core fitness comes from doing P90X because they combine strength training with different cardio workouts and Yoga and Stretch workouts for flexibility. For me, Zumba is mainly for fun because I love to dance and that's how I can do it. Later today I will be doing Leg, Back and Abs then…

Good question. I'm interested in responses.

For sweet treats you may wanna try recipes from Babycakes Cover the Classics. All the recipes are vegan and gluten-free. I bought the book because of some DELICIOUS oatmeal raisin cookies I tried. Here's link to some info:…

Very nice. I actually considered buying those taco bowls...thanks for saving me the $$.

I use Splenda because I like that the best for coffee. I really only use it in my morning coffee, so I'm not too worried about the fact that it isn't the BEST option.

I like buying the big bag of organic brown rice and now quinoa. This is not health food, but the mini chicken cilantro wontons are fantastic. I make them with edamame and oriental vegetables and it's a great and filling meal. I have just recently tried the Kirkland whole grain bread (comes 2 in a pack). It's delicious.

You look fantastic! and I bet you feel sooo much better. Very happy for you!

My new favorite thing to do with avocado: 1 cup fat-free milk 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 Tbsp flaxseed 1 small AVOCADO 1 Tbsp agave nectar 2 cups ice Blend until smooth.

I believe in what the Bible says, and it says that in Him (God) we live and move and have our being; that every breath we breathe is given by God, so without Him or apart from Him I can do nothing. The Bible also tells me to cast all my cares on God because He cares for me. I care about health and fitness, so I know God…

Too much protein and not enough fiber could maybe contribute to the bloat. Are you getting at least 25g of fiber a day?

I'm in Bucks County too!

Looks delicious!

Love my Polar FT7

If you don't have a HRM you can use zumbacalories.com and just manually add Zumba in exercise. I had to add Zumba.

Finding something you love to do. I love doing Zumba, so for me, cardio is the easy part. I know that strength training is very important and will have a lot of benefit, but unfortunately, it is harder for me to do sometimes.

tuna steak, mixed veggies, and pasta!

I watched the same the show yesterday...and of course, now I want pancakes too! I have recipe at home from Beachbody's Thin Kitchen recipe book for whole wheat pancakes. I can send it to you later.

Congrats! It definitely pays off to do BOTH weights and cardio.

40 almonds and a banana for my AM snack.
