I don't subscribe to those don't eat after...diets. My last meal is usually around 8pm when I get home from the gym. I have a little protien shake and if I am still hungry I have some nuts. Then tea before I turn out the light at 11pm.

I tried out the Polar yesterday at the gym, and while the heartrate was nearly spot one with that of the cardio machine (ellipitcal and stairmaster) the caloric count was 100-in the negative-on each machine:grumble: ! It is any wonder that I have lost weight thus far as I eat all my exercise calories! :noway: Well, now, I…

Usually, men are the people that THINK they know EVERYTHING!

That reminds me of my mom and uncle-they were hella exicted to receive their Senior Discounts! Have you ever noticed that more mature people begin to start things with, "I am 85 years old..." My grandma loves telling people her age-she an active person. She will only date younger men-she tells me no old men for her!…

I hate it when I can't find my mom. Shouldn't mother be available at all times? Whether we need them of not? Ashamed to admit I am 30, I live far from home, but it freaks me out when I don't know where my mom is! :ohwell: I hope you find her...here is a teddy bear while you wait.

Soup-no bowl licking? Did you sneak a few chocolate chips at least? You are my hero! :laugh: I usually go through a bit of the bag before I get to adding the chocolate chips. I use to have chocolate chips as a snack.. yeah, the Eye Candy. Now there is talk of moving me to the same building as him-like down the hall! I…

Gameset: 2x Shred?! Now, I have never tried the Shred, but the way y'all talk about it...that is hardcore! Very awesome! I am not a workout video girl, but since I have heard some much about it-I am tempted. Soup: did you say Chocolate Chip cookies?! Oh, man :love: I will be very intersted to know if you only eat a couple!…

Salt is a preservative, and like sugar makes things taste good. As a side note-I don't eat cereal. Oatmeal with a banana and brown sugar mixed in makes a great healhty alternative! Yum:happy:

I second that, but noodles? Seriously? People put noodles in chili? And its still called chili? Wouldn't that be spagetti?

Have you tried the Flat-Out line from KMS? KMS also makes a conditioning styling cream that is great for color-treated hair that is heat styled often. Matrix makes a great smoothing balm-can't think of the name right now but it comes in an orange package. I use the light version on my hair (my hair is very fine) but I have…

The hike was AWESOME Sunday! 3 hrs that felt like nothing...my friend was impressed with my endurance. The best part is she invited me to Half-Dome next year with her and her father. Apparently, they are quite the hikers. Yosemite and the Grand Canyon. I ended up going to the gym too, which paid off, because I was CRAVING…

Sounds like a GREAT weekend! The one thing I miss about the Bay Area is being so far from my family...we had parties nearly every weekend! Happy Birthday to y'all! :bigsmile:

Say what you will about George W Bush, we DID elect him for 2 terms. He DID get us through 9-11 and he NEVER wavered in his convinction to keep America safe eve if his methods were unpopular. That I respect that he stood strong in his beliefs in the face of unpopularity. I do not think McCain/Palin will be a repeat. I do…

That is ridiculous. my opinion.:bigsmile:

I was a hairstylist for 7 years and the scariest thing a client would say was, "I want a style, but I don't want to do anything with it..." My question to you would be what does "I would like something that is fairly easy to style" mean? What is the length of time you are willing to spend every single day? What implements…

My friend gave me the best advice once: "Sometimes you just gotta let a man be a man." I wouldn't tell him what to do. Instead I would make subtle lifestyle choices like planning active things to do toether (bike ride with picnic lunch or hiking or meeting each other at the gym) and maybe incorporating fitness into your…

I turned 30 in April. To be honest it was the most exciting thing I have looked forward to in my life-even bigger than 21 or 18! Too many insecurities in my 20s and teens! I believe that my 40s will be even better! :bigsmile: I know who I am a whole lot better at 30, and I expect to make better choices in my 30s-like…

I nearly forgot-how is your son adjusting to college life? :smile: Even if he is having a blast, he no doubt misses you terribly! How wonderful you were able to go visit him!

20 mile bike ride?! That is so awesome. My sister and I keep talking about taking one of those biking tours to the Netherlands and/or Beligum. When I was in Holland visiting family, we rode around 10 miles without even realizing it... On the trail today, hiking, we saw plenty of people mountain biking...up and down hills!…

I :heart: sweet potato fries-made them last weekend and they were a BIG hit!

Exactly how I feel-the long hike this morning was great-I get to make myself a Strawberry Smoothie with 2% Milk. :bigsmile: In my dreams, I use Whole Milk :laugh: (I can't do skim milk:noway: )

Girl, I feel you...my situation was a little different. I come from a family of just naturally very tall, very thin people. My twin and I were the only "big" ones. My mom bought all kinds of goodies-she nor my little sister do not have any reason to conscious of their weight. I hate to tell you, but the temptations and the…

That's awesome! :laugh:

November 7th is 8 years. You are right of course, the acceptance comes so it does become eaiser though the heart ache remains. I still get emotional when I talk about him or even when I think about him for more than a few minutes. But my aunt and unlce, his parents, love talking about him, so that is a good thing. The…

:drinker: Girl, you are an inspiration!:drinker:

It makes me laugh when people speak of McCain's age as a reason why one should not vote for him. Obviously, one must be healthy a vigorous to campaign...that being said I think that is it discriminatory to say one can not do a job because of age. He demonstrates that he is capable to fullfill the job duties. Discrimination…

I had a Blond Moment this morning! :laugh: My friend invited me to go hiking with her, and I had thought she said Sat at 6.30am. So, I woke up at 5.45am, and got there and waited and waited and waited. I finally figured out that she said Sun not Sat! I was so mad at myself, because I had a long sleepless and drama filled…

I feel you-the bf is not encouraging. :explode: He says to me why? You don't need to...and you're vain and selfish and shallow. I got this little speech, again, only this time it was at 4am this morning! (he couldn't sleep, so, of course, he was loud and had to wake me up...now he is sound asleep and it almost 11am and it…

A tummy ache taking ones mind from heart ache is well worth it in my book! I have a sad anniversary coming up myself-November 7th. I am planning to call-out from work, but beyond that I don't know...it is nice to know that your day turned out alright all things considered. I have hopes that this year will not be as…

That is a good one-I have a similar issue. This has helped me: 1. I go to the gym early evening, so I have dinner either before or after the gym. But the whole time at the gym, I am not snacking! :bigsmile: 2. late at night I have tea-several cups. I use skim milk and sweet-n-low, so the calorie intake is very low. I still…
