Should I really increase my calories after the plateau?
So I finally broke through my first plateau. I was stuck at 165 for a little over a month. So last week, until Saturday, I took a break from exercise (running and strength training) and changed up my diet (made/ate A LOT of low-sodium vegetable soup, fresh fruits and veggies, lean meat, no breads). It was also kind of a…

Another way to say ...
Door-to-door? I am working on an Emergency Action Plan for a dam (at work, not in my spare time :laugh: ).

Last year, we went slightly more casual – “Passport to Paradise.” It was island/beach themed and people wore everything from sundresses or…

What is your motivation?
Besides being healthy, of course! I’ve found it really helps to give myself little rewards along the way to keep me motivated. I used to use food as a reward – thinking “Since I am playing softball tonight, I can have a burger and beer after the game.” That’s how I go to be where I am today. But now I found more fun and…

Nevertheless, my friend just turned me on to www.hungry-girl.com which is the best site ever (aside from MFP)!
