Oh, another recipe I think I got on Wegmans, add solid white tuna to bow tie pasta, and mix in fresh squeezed lemon juice, capers, sundried tomatoes, and a little bit of olive oil. Delicious!

I mix in a little red wine vinegar, add diced onions and celery, a small bit of mayo, and spread it on a cracker called Finn Crisps. Yum!

The daughter on Homeland. I considered not watching this season because I had read she was a huge story line, ugh! I ended up watching and suffering through her scenes :)

I allow myself to indulge during the holidays, but not go crazy. For example, I hosted Thanksgiving and I had a ton of fattening foods (sausage stuffing, potato casserole with heavy whipping cream and cheese baked in), and I just had one serving (reasonable size) of each and filled the rest of my plate with a slice of…

Words cannot express the sheer joy my 8 year old son brings me every day. It is also the hardest job in the world being a parent. I wouldn't trade it for anything. He is my soul! What a gift he is, and raising him, has been. I am extremely blessed to be his mommy.

Regarding the leukemia, I remember a friend whose 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with childhood leukemia and she was specifically told not to eat fresh fruit -- I don't know if it was all fresh fruit, but there definitely was a restriction on fruit.

I started the 30 Day Shred tonight, and loved it!

Amazing that we are in first place with a 2-3 record, ha! GO BIRDS!

He looks amazing! I love him.

This is going to be a nailbiter -- I am a die hard Eagles fan, husband grew up in Virginia and is a die hard Redskins fan. Ugh!

I have to say I secretly enjoy the glances I get from the big, beefy guys in the gym when my trainer has me bench pressing 95 pounds for example, or really doing anything with heavy weight. I feel strong and awesome and my body shape has totally changed. I started lifting two years ago when I was 42 and I have only lost 20…

I was going to suggest what Victoria said, boil a dozen eggs and refridgerate, you have a ready to go snack all the time. Also, deli meat like pepper ham, turkey, etc.

You can definitely do it! I signed up for a half marathon a few years ago and only had about 6 weeks to prepare. At the time I signed up, the longest I had ever run was 5 miles. What I did was once a week, got in a long run. So week 1, I did 6 miles; week 2, I did 7 miles; week 3 I did 8 miles; week 4, I did 9 miles; week…

I read my tablet while walking on the treadmill, it passes the time nicely and I kill two birds with one stone -- I get some health benefits and I get some alone time/entertainment. It's brilliant! I never in a million years thought someone would judge me for that :ohwell: Personally, I pay no attention to what anyone else…

Yuck, I could never eat margarine, just tastes nasty to me! As for your follow-up question, Land 'o Lakes makes a whipped butter in a container that is fairly easy to spread.

What a great story! Congrats to you both!!!

I go during lunch, the gym is a block from my office. I have a personal trainer and I see him once a week for a half hour. Now that work isn't as crazy, I'll try to go to him twice a week like I used to.

Hey everyone, just checking in after a long absence. Has anyone ever read the book by Alan Carr about how to control your drinking? Looking for opinions, if you have read it. Cheers all, have a great week! Liz

I am no help, I end up making something different for my picky kid.

I have been sore in that exact place for a while now, I think I pulled whatever muscle is on the underside of my right forearm. Is that what you mean? Right below where your elbow bends on the underside?

I tend to just try to eat in moderation. When I go on vacation, we usually rent a house and grill so I eat lots of grilled chicken, grilled fish, grilled veggies. If you are going out to dinner, when I was in Disney World, I ordered a lot of grilled chicken salads, things like that. Try not to stress, just enjoy yourself!

I've been lifting weights for almost two years now. It has taken me that long to lose just 22 pounds, BUT, my body has changed entirely. Everything looks tight, not flabby, and I am SO GLAD that I started lifting weights. Right now I only have one training session a week, but it is enough to keep me looking semi-lean (I…

I didn't read the other responses, but just an FYI in case no one else mentioned it, there are lots of "promo pictures" that are being falsely "liked". I had a ton of friends "appear" to be liking McDonalds, and in fact, they had not done so. Such a scam! I saw it also happening with Samsung and some other companies.

Holy *kitten*, I didn't know there were casualties, but I bet the numbers keep rising. My niece's boyfriend (long distance runner for college track team) is there and she can't get a hold of him. How horrible, who would do something like this?!?

Great job, you look fantastic!

DVR is set for tonight, I will be at my son's first baseball game at 7:00. Can't wait, GO PHILLIES!

Ready! We will be at one of the games next week while we are in Florida for our 8 year old son's spring break. WOO HOO!!!

Bump!

I absolutely love lamb chops but they are so expensive I rarely get them. That's probably my favorite meat.
