I recently roasted some baby bok choy. Lay it out on pan in single layer, mist with olive oil and salt and pepper. Set oven on 400 and roasted until leaves were crispy, stock was softened. Easy and delicious

I have been making strawberry jam with them: 12 oz strawberries, 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp agave and 3 tbsp chia seeds. Let chill in the fridge for a bit. I combine it with cottage cheese or greek yogurt. Good for a few days in the fridge

It took about 4 months of work before I noticed a big enough difference to wear tank tops comfortably. I regularly do curls, overhead presses, kickbacks, dips. The only cardio I do is brisk walking 2-3 times a…

I use rice protein in my smoothies with frozen fruit and water or almond milk

I use a HRM as well, Only way to really be accurate. My monitor reads very close to what MFP states for circuit training in minutes though. I have checked it the past 3 times I went and worked out with my trainer. Tonight I burned 464 calories in 58 minutes and entered circuit training 54 minutes to get cal burn of 460

The best gluten free tortillas we have had are la tortilla factory teff wheat tortillas. Trader Joes rice tortillas are very difficult to work with, they break very easily. I always heat gluten free tortillas for 20 seconds in the microwave to soften a bit before trying to wrap something. The teff wheat wraps are…

When I started lifting and working with a personal trainer I had lost 45 of the 50 pounds I had wanted to lose. Prior to this I was eating 1200 calories plus my exercise calories at that time. The only exercise to this point was walking 5-6 days a week. As soon as I started lifting I stopped losing as I had been. I lost no…

Hello, I turned fifty in January and started this journey last April 2011. I have lost 50 pounds and many, many inches. For the past three months I have been lifting weights and working with a personal trainer twice weekly at the gym, which has totally changed my body. You can do this at any age with the right frame of…

I pay 600 dollars for twelve sessions of personal training. I go for one hour at a time.

I have been sprinting, dragging a tire behind me. I wear a belt that attaches to a chain that is secured around the tire. It is very difficult but has done amazing things for my endurance with running/ sprinting

thegraciouspantry.com is a great website. Has advice about starting out, shopping for basics as well as recipes. I have found it to be very helpful. Good Luck

My diary is private because the only person I need to be accountable to is myself. It has taken alot of years for me to figure that out.

I just bought a set of adjustable weights on amazon. It comes with 2, 3.5 lb handles, 0.5 lb collars to hold weight on, 4, 5 lb weight plates and 4, 3 lb weights. I used them for the first time yesterday and they worked out fine. I had to tighten the collars a couple of times during my workout but it worked fine. They were…
