Mock "healthier" Frosty
So I'm sure this recipie or something similar is out there somewhere but I was playing around with my protein powder and thought I'd share: In blender: 1 scoop protein powder of your choice of vanilla or chocolate (I've only used these two so far), 1 packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast in the corresponding flavor above,…

Paleofantasy?
While I'm completely apethetically agnostic when it comes to the Paleo religion (as I jokingly refer) I thought some might find this interesting to read. http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/new_scientist/2013/04/marlene_zuk_s_paleofantasy_book_diets_and_exercise_based_on_ancient_humans.html edited for spelling.

Ignorant Newbie to Paleo/Primal
Yes, I know I can search the forums and find answers eventually but I'll be honest, I'd rather be doing something active than scrolling through page after page of info, so I'm posting a question I am sure has been asked 1000 times. I’m embarking on a type of Paleo/Primal eating plan. This is for digestive reasons not just…

Wogging
I wannabe a runner. Let me tell ya though, it aint happening anywhere near as quickly as I'd like. I was tooling around on fitsugar.com tonight to get some new interval/incline workouts for the treadmill and came across an article on wogging (walk-jogging). This is so much more to my taste for now! I always tend to go…

Green gets me excited!
I serioulsy love it when I look at my diary at the end of the day and I've got all green numbers!! It's so rare I don't go over on sodium, or carbs, or something but today....I was all green....except fiber but hey, that's alright, right?! Are you often all in the green or do you find you often go over on something…

Ok, now that I.have your attention; my post is reall concerning water. Every morning I drink a large glass of water as soon as I wake up.

245
That's the number of days I've logged in as of a few days ago. Along the way, I’ve not always ate properly or worked out but no matter what I’ve logged it all. I started at 290 lbs. I am down to 250. It’s not a whole lot for the time frame but after a few hardships and deep emotional troubles with family I’m still proud of…

Because I'm so damned censored.
There is something Ive been wanting to tell people for quite sometime now. I'm properly prepared for the backlash my statement will have especially living in the south (United States). There are a few reasons I cannot be open about what I am going to say here (in a bit..be patient) and I’ll explain why I cannot speak…

A change of taste
I'm down 35 lbs now and have pretty much converted myself to all healthy foods. I'm really proud of my progress but I've noticed one HUGE change; I now can not get enough spicy food!!! I used to HATE spicy anything. Even pepper was too much for me at times. Now that I've changed my eating habits I can't get enough spicy! I…

Run Smokey Run
Ok, I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything here in the short time I glanced around. I used to be a smoker. I smoked a pack a day or so of Marlboro Light 100's for many many years. I've recently quit a little over 2 months now and am really wanting to take up running. I've still got a lot of weight…

Gettin your drink on...
I'm leaving on vacation this friday...I am a former beeraholic. I still love and would prefer beer but seeing as how many cals/carbs ect they have (even the super duper light ones which taste like crap in my opinion) it's not really an option for me as I'm sticking to the diet/exercise while away. So my question to you…

This is gonna be a challange!
I was sooo excited to get my new size XL scrubs. I'd been in a 3X for quite some time, then worked my way down. Well, I've had the XL's for a week or so and while they are snug I don't mind because its a constant reminder to keep working. However, I'm leaving for vacation Friday. Heading to New Mexico where the food is…

Solutions, not problems
It always amazes me the amount of people on MFP and in life in general who just seem to enjoy complaining. If you don't like what someone is doing, DON'T DO IT, If you disagree with someone's choices- UNFRIEND THEM OR IGNORE THEM, If you think your way is better- OFFER SUGGESTIONS NOT DEGRADING CRITICISM. If only more…

Diabeating Your Kids
Had to share: Diabeating your kids July 12, 2012 Urban Word of the Day When parents feed their young children, who do not know better or aren't given any healthy options, pure crap, resulting in juvenile onset diabetes.
