~ The general rule of thumb is to consume 1 gram of Protein per pound of your lean body mass ... some people will consume 1 gram per pound of their actual weight. You should try to consume a decent amount of Protein with every meal ... but more importantly it is most beneficial after a heavy burn from any type of weight…

~ Pears, bananas and tea won't be the main reason you go over on carbs ... try to limit your fruit to maybe 2 ( carb related ) pieces and add more berries if wanting more fruit. It appears you have your macros set up to MFP standards ... those can be adjusted based on individual body needs. Carbs are just as important as…

~ I like .... Him ! Exactly the way he is ... and I like him a lot ! :tongue:

~ More " 21 " moments in life ~ ( A lot more !!! )

Try an " Avocado Roll ~ Sushi " ... Absolutely delightful ! I generally eat this a few times a week ... I just simply LOVE it ! Avocados are delicious on sandwiches, in salads, dips .... and just as a treat ! :tongue:

~ The more physically fit I become .... the less calories I burn. When I was heavier I could burn double the calories I do now ... walking or biking the exact same distance. The difference now is ... my endurance. I have increased my speed / session / regimen to accommodate a bigger burn. I have to change things up on a…

~ It doesn't have anything to do with the calories or fat ... it's the nutritional value : Basically, white rice ends up being brown rice with its nutritional crown stripped away. While both white rice and brown rice provide close to the same amount of carbohydrates, calories, and calcium, brown rice outpaces white rice in…

1. Mediterranean 2. Carribean Islands ( All of them ) and .... 3. Kansas ( some " things " in life are totally worth it ) Hmmmmm ..... Maybe number three should been number one ... so it's safe to say this list is in no particular order ! Ha ! :tongue:

~ Now this made me giggle ! That would be an awesome title for a new workout video ! LOL ! Some say ABS are made in the kitchen .... Some say ABS are made in the gym .... I say ABS are created equally with a healthy diet and life style ... if you get your BF% down low enough through diet and exercise, you will see those…

" Eat Pray Love " I love the " freedom this movie delivers ... makes me want to travel even more than I do now !

~ Sometimes there will be a " splurge " ... and then there will be an extra " burn ". It's ok to enjoy your foods ... but in the end, just be certain your burning more than your consuming. And just fyi ... I never " cheat " ... cause that would mean I was defeating my own best efforts. I won't cheat myself out of a healthy…

~ Listen up ... Do you remember how good it felt when you were losing the weight ??? Do you remember how good that feeling was after a hard workout ??? Do you remember how good it feels when somebody notices your progress ??? Or ... Do you like feeling defeated, tired, exhausted ... feeling like you can eat or do anything…

~ The scale can be your best tool ever or it can be your worst nightmare ! It depends on what you're looking to get out of it ... I weigh in every morning ... I like to track my water weight and what different foods will do to my system. I don't " live " by it and the numbers mean nothing other than a " gauge " of my…

~ We live in a society that relishes on other peoples choices ... it is unfortunate that one cannot just live by their own standards and let others make choices based on their own beliefs. When you choose to be healthy ... you should also choose to ignore ignorance. Most people who judge healthy eating habits or make fun…

~ Find out your BMR and don't drop under it calorie wise each day ... sometimes the TDEE can be over estimated causing people to gain by eating over that allowance. Stick with what you know ... 3500 calories burned is 1 pound lost. If you can carry a 500 deficit seven days a week .. you will lose 1 pound a week. Lean body…

~ Some forms of exercise are over estimated and some are dead on ... I use an HRM, but if you don't have one you can always use three different websites to get a " middle " number ... I sometimes check with " LIVESTRONG " which is pretty compatible with my HRM. Also remember any site including this one just uses a generic…

~ I got a surprise phone call tonight that made my entire weekend ! As a matter of fact ... I'm still smiling ! ~ :bigsmile:

~ You can not spot reduce ... but eventually overall loss from your workout regimen will hit there ... now on the lighter side ... love handles are the perfect name ... they give you something to hold onto while ... ohhhhh never mind !!!! LOL !!!! :laugh:

~ One size does NOT fit all .... to each is own ~ Everybody has a vice ... rather it be drinking, smoking, eating ... sex ( :noway: ) ... every person should have the right to live their life according to their rules ... I personally can't imagine killing myself slowly by inhaling tar ... but then again, their are a lot of…

~ Perhaps try adding more protein to your meals ... it will make you feel fuller longer ... often the types of foods we consume cause us to experience hunger pangs very quickly after consumption. I would eat something like a hand full of nuts ( no more than a ¼ cup, some hands are bigger than others, lol ) .... but…

~ Today was 596 cals ... depends on what my day will consist of ... it will range from 250 - 700+ easily on heavy workout days. Breakfast is usually my biggest meal of the day. This does however include a protein drink that can add 280 cals .... and additional fruit including fresh strawberries, blueberries ... and I…

~ I actually did a blog on eggs ( this post is from an article based on research, where the woman tested the theories ) ... here are some of the facts : 1. Eggs Won't Make You Fat I'm not going to reveal my final numbers until the process is done and all blood work is completed, but I'll tell you this--eating three eggs…
