No ! A calorie is absolutely not just a calorie !

I guarantee you the person with poor diet choices will not feel the…

~ Now this is a complicated question .... Sooooo many variables ! 1. I can whip it together in 15 min if just going to a movie or get Sushi. 2. If I have to shower and do the whole hair deal ... well, get ready for this answer ... I prefer 2½ hours ( allowing hair to air dry before flat ironing ) also I enjoy sitting…

~ Groceries ~ The Ocean .... Waves crashing in on the beach ... it appears to be rough out there tonight ! :tongue: ~ Waiting, Waiting, Waiting ..... Sleeping, Sleeping, Sleeping ~ Sigh ~ :flowerforyou:

Go to a bike shop and get " fitted " ... the distance between your seat and pedals is going to be crucial on your knees ! Don't put unnecessary pressure on the knee with a " generic bike ". Forget distance .. go for time .... start out with maybe a 10 to 15 minute ride and gradually build up to longer rides. Partnering up…

~ The best gym in the world for me is ... Nature, the good ol' outdoors ! I try to bike outdoors as often as possible, and I take long walks along the beach not only for exercise, but to clear my mind. I do all strength / weight lifting in my home at night or really early in the morning. I have a desk bike that allows me…

~ I would definitely add more protein calories ... look towards " one ingredient " foods ... Nuts, Grains, Seeds, Fish, Fruits, Veggies .... add more color to your diet. You have the right mentality ... but with limited food / calories .... I am afraid this is not a " lifestyle " change that one can endure for a long…

~ The first step is understanding that this journey is all about you ! Sure it would be nice if he acknowledged your efforts and had something nice to say ... but the truth is ... it is YOU that needs to acknowledge your own efforts and be proud of the steps you are taking to a healthier lifestyle. Forget about giving up…

~ I have died everyday waiting for you ... Darling don't be afraid I have loved you ... For a thousand years ... I'll love you for a thousand more " Thousand Years ... by Christina Perri Yes ... I am a hopeless romantic ... total " Sap " ! Ha ! :blushing:

~ Ohhhhhh this is classic ! It doesn't get much better than this darling ... Ok .. My profile pic : It says I love nature, that I am in some ways " hiding " from the world ... or maybe just half the population. Needless to say ... I was " put " in a tree for reasons that are sooooo incredibly sweet .... I can't fathom the…

~ I believe you should wear whatever makes you feel sexy ... everyday ! For some ... less is better ... for others ... it's like artwork. Either way, to each is own.

~ Quirkiness ~ He definitely has to walk to a different beat ! Totally HOT ! I'm just a goofball ... asking another goofball to love me ! Ha ! :tongue:

~ When you stop trying to be what everybody else expects you to be ... that is the day you truly start living YOUR life ~ Loved this Tex ! Thanks for sharing it and more importantly ... thanks for reminding me !!!! :drinker:

~ If your in love ... there should be no boundaries ... being " together " doesn't always mean seeing somebody everyday. It truly comes down to what works for you as an individual and together as a couple. If it's meant to be ... nothing will stop you from being with the one you love. Time and distance are just a mixed…

~ How much he really means to me ... ~ :blushing:

~ My only suggestion to those who cannot reach 1200 calories a day because they just aren't hungry ... would be to add more nuts and healthy oils/ fats. This is the healthiest way to get the nutrition you need and stay at a decent calorie intake. I started my journey on 1200 calorie days ... after I lost a significant…

~ You ... ROCK ! Thank you sooooo much ! Sure .. ADD ME ! :)
