Spaghetti Squash
My new favorite "substitute". I had it instead of pasta with my fabulous meat sauce this week and I used it instead of rice with my chicken curry. To be honest I preferred it to the rice with the chicken curry....a little spicy, a little sweet. Does anyone have any other interesting recipes for spaghetti squash, so far I…

Dessert....
I am a dessert hound...I cannot give it up. I just need a little something to finish off dinner. I just tried this frozen hot chocolate and it was delish...I opted in on the fat free cool whip and opted out on the peppermint. So tasty and oddly filling....

The week off...thoughts?
So I finished Phase 1 and I took the suggested week off...I have to say I won't take a whole week between phase 2 and 3. I felt like crap all week. But then again I may finish phase 2 a NEED a week. Or maybe my mistake was truly taking a week off...I didn't run either. I usually lift M, W, F and run Tue, Thu, Sat. Maybe I…

Help, just went nuclear...
Just went nuclear on fresh (so fresh they were still warm) chips and salsa. I haven't a clue how many chips I ate...but the salsa was about 1/2C. I ate the chips right out of the white paper bag till all the salsa was gone...there were chips left when I was done. As I dust the tasty crumbs off my shirt I am trying to…

Day 1 of NROLFW...here goes nothing!
Well I am excited...Day 1. It didn't take as much time as I thought it would but it was more work than I thought it would be. I am not new to lifting, I am not even new to lifting heavy but I am new to the "total body" concept. I used to lift chest and tris, back and bis, then legs and shoulders so this is different. I…

Just discovered a tasty treat
So it is Saturday morning and I wanted to have something tasty for breakfast with my boys and today is my "free day". I also know we are going out tonight and I want to eat dinner out without analyzing every little thing on the menu so I am trying to keep it somewhat light for the rest of the day. Cinnamon Roll waffles as…

Going into Week 3 tomorrow...who's with me? ;-)
Workout A tomorrow...yay! I think I like workout A better than B...just because I am a bit wussy about the lunges.

A hard hard day at work...
I am having quite the day here at work...I am so ready to eat something deep fried and covered in chocolate. Somebody stop me! I just needed to get that out. Thank you for your support. :-)

Smith Machine
Anyone here use a smith machine when squatting? I get that the smith machine kind of "helps" you, meaning you are not moving as much weight as you would if you lifted from a rack. But recently I read an article saying that smith machines aren't any good, you can get hurt, etc. I would assume you can get hurt squatting from…

Cheat Day
So I take one day a week to eat whatever...I only went over by 444 calories...everything was worth it except the french toast. That was sadly disappointing...I had high hopes all week for that meal. Don't you hate it when your "cheat" meal isn't all you hoped it would be?

Ooops
So I ate with wild abandon tonight. My son wanted Buffalo Wild Wings and I had good intentions. But when I saw that black n blue burger on the menu i had to have it. So I did, and the fries, and the fried pickles. The burger wasn't worth it (I really had the Red Robin version in my head) but the pickles and the fries were.…

New Rules of Lifting for Women
I just got the book and I am about to settle down and read it. I have been lifting consistently since January and I am starting to see real changes. I want to go heavier because I want more of a challenge and I really don't want to do any cross fit type workouts (I know some people swear by it but it just isn't my thing).…

When do you workout? Are you a morning person ?
As you can tell by the hour 0453 I am a morning person. I just like having it done before I get on with my day. Honestly if I wait and I see the sofa after work...well let's just say, I am not going anywhere. Plus I like to go to work with that slight sense of superiority :-) just kidding.... Seriously, have any of you…

Don't get calories to "eat back" after lifting
Hi all, I have a question...when I enter my cardio I see how many calories I burned...why doesn't it show the calories I burned lifting?
