nsv: DO YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE!!!!!
These are my size 10 American Eagle Jeans. The jeans I've had staring at me in my closet telling me to keep going. The jeans I wore 7 years ago at my smallest. The jeans that when I started living healthier almost 2 years ago I could get up past my knees. The jeans I tried on a year ago and could get them on but not do…

Review: 4 Vegan, Soy Free Gluten Free Protein Bars
I have been looking for some ways to get my protein up since I've been taken off dairy, eggs and soy. I'm not a big meat eater ( I eat chicken a few times a week and seafood once a week) so I started looking into protein/health/supplement bars as a way to get my protein up. I'm also not allowed gluten or almonds so I had…

Egg Free GF DF Carrot Muffins from a mix
I've been really craving bready things lately but a lot of Gluten Free bread things taste....well....disgusting. I was a little scared to try baking gluten free muffins as the mix can be a bit pricey (5.99) so I really didn't want to end up throwing it out. I bought Glutino Gluten Free Muffin Mix at the store today and…

A MFP Motivation filled mirror
So my bathroom mirror takes up the entire wall, it's huge, you can't avoid seeing yourself in it when you walk in, and 80% of the time I think "ugh, THAT'S how I look right now?" So I needed some positive energy to turn it around, I asked my MFP friends to leave me a comment and I would put it on a post it note on my…

What have you overheard at the gym...
These two 17year-old-ish girls came into the locker room last night as I was getting ready to work out and they were getting ready to leave and it was pretty quiet in there so I couldn't really avoid hearing (in a super high pitched, gum smacking voice) "DUDE, F**K, You know so-and-so's brother, he is sooooo hammered right…

What do you do for YOU
What is something you do for yourself to make the day just a bit better, the week a bit brighter, life a bit more positive?

Plank from knees...

Your super guilty pleasure TV show...
