How much money do you spend on food weekly?
After an organic veggie and fruit shopping spree, I got a little criticism for spending too much money at the grocery store. But after cancelling out all the frozen meals and meat that I DIDN'T buy, I actually didn't spend any more than I do for an average week. So this got me wondering, how much do YOU spend on food each…

TOM after being sick-ladies and/or health professionals!
First and foremost, I am NOT pregnant. Not even concerned about that. Right after my last period I was hospitalized for 3 days for meningitis. I was on all sorts of antibiotics before they determined it wasn't bacterial and I was released. I've been generally healthy again for about 3 weeks. I usually start on the Tuesday…

Walk down a different street
I have always loved this! I hope you do too. Autobiography in Five Short Chapters Chapter 1 I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost ... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. Chapter 2 I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the…

Recovered
I guess this goes under a success story...it feels like it to me! Here's a quick back story before I get into the real post: 3 weeks ago today I went jogging, and was SO excited to make it all the way around my 2-mile trail without walking, since I hadn't run in months. I was hurting pretty bad though. The next day I was,…

Tortilla chips
Alright, so I've got a serious weakness for tortilla chips. I've always thought it was ok, there's not much to them, no big deal. Until I finally logged some today. High in fat, carbs, sodium; Low-no protein, vitamins, minerals. I mean, I knew this before, but to see it, it kinda broke my heart. I LOVE tortilla chips. I…

Calorie breakdown-trying to tone
I've tried searching through forums on here but can't find my answer so I'm starting a new one! I am looking to tone, not lose weight. I'm 5'4, 25 years old, around 115 lbs, and fairly active. Calorie intake is set at 1750 for now--I might change this once I see how I'm doing in a couple weeks. So, my question: what should…

150 mile challenge 10-1
So, my workout plans have been severely hindered by being in the hospital for the past 2 days, and probably at least one more. (meningitis sucks!) I first posted this on my wall, but I think it will be more fun to open it up to all of MFP! After successfully running over 2 miles on Sunday, I decided to do 2 more on…

workouts-what to eat and when
For now I am just doing some general cardio and toning exercises, I'm going to start running again soon (not a whole lot, just trying to achieve a 5k for now) and then hopefully Insanity by the end of the year. I am NOT trying to lose weight, I'm just trying to tone up and get in better shape. Workouts will generally be…

Caffeine!
As part of my preparation for a detox diet, I haven't had caffeine (well, not REALLY) in 3 days. (I did find this thing at Whole Foods, it's caffeinated water. The whole bottle is supposed to have the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, and I have taken ONE sip out of it each day. It's still half full. But that's…

Too much protein?
Is it really bad to have too much protein? I know to an extent, you shouldn't have too much of anything. But my reports are saying I'm eating too much protein when it's only comprising 20% of my calories so far. And I haven't even had dinner, which was going to be chicken and brown rice! This is without me really trying to…
