Trying to figure out the ticker thing. Do you have to copy the address every time you post?

Hey Ladies, I have a question for you. I've been working out at home on average 5-6 days a week for the last 6 weeks and I'm finding that my muscles feel weaker now than they did 6 weeks ago. As for the types of exercises I do, I try to 'mix it up'. Usually cardio with some strength training mixed in, occasionally yoga or…

I totally understand how you feel! We've been on the road a lot lately trying to squeeze in last minute 'summer fun' and have been eating out a lot. It's hard to stick to the grilled chicken all the time, I'm so bored with it and I really miss my comfort foods, I gained back two of the 12 pounds I'd lost and am so…

Thanks so much! I've thinking a lot about that too, especially since I'm the one that does all of the cooking and all of my recipes are from my husbands family cookbook. It's hard to alter a recipe and not have the family notice. I can't wait to look at the website!

I used to have the same problem. Then I bought an insulated glass (plastic) with a lid and straw (Wal Mart $5) I fill this up with ice and water (approx 3 cups) and I always carry it around. I don't get out of my chair without it and I don't leave the house without it. I try to drink one glass before lunch, one before…

FUN QUESTION:: What is your favorite thing about the holiday season?? It's family! I love watching my 4 kids go crazy on Christmas day and I love cooking Christmas dinner for my family (including all of my in-laws). It is one of the few times of the year that we can all be together and this year will be especially…

I'm definitely with you! Although I won't have reached my ideal weight by Christmas, that is a great time to celebrate my second greatest accomplishment (my children are the first, consistent healthy living the second). I absolutely HATED the pics of me last holiday season and I fervently vow from here out to stick with…
