Foods with lots of PROTEIN!
When I read about balancing my protein and carbs in meals, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of protein is chicken (and other meats like pork and fish, etc.) but I'm not a huge meat eater (not vegetarian but sometimes I think I could be if it weren't for my meat loving husband! lol) and when it comes to…

Running App for Phone
I have an app called "get running" which is a c25k program and i like it very much, but i'd like to find an app that tracks my distance, speed, etc. i've been looking in the app store but there are so many and i figured you guys might have some good recs! i know an app on my phone probably won't be as 100% accurate as a…

filling breakfast foods (on the go)
i find that very few "on the go" types of breakfasts really keep me full very long. greek yogurt, fruit, etc. i've noticed lately that when i have a good solid breakfast that keeps me full until lunch, i do better throughout the day (i'm much less hungry and less likely to binge) vs. having a small breakast, mid morning…

importance of weight training vs cardio
i hope i don't sound like an exercise dummy. lol. i've always had this impression that cardio is where it's at, and doing any type of strength/weight training is really only necessary AFTER you've lost fat and want to tone. but after doing jillian's 30 day shred and reading some things online, i'm feeling like weight…

fresh foods/meals that store well in fridge
i'm really working on eating more clean, fresh foods. when i'm bringing food to work for lunch i like to pack a lot of little things that are easy to grab and go. i don't like having to do a lot of prep every day/night for my lunches (i'm even lazy about making my husband's sandwich for his lunch every day). some things…
